A very nice, unfussy hotel near the marina in Ibiza Town, Ocean Drive is clean and comfortable with just one big drawback - no swimming pool! I'm only in Ibiza for two nights for work and part of the allure of coming out was to spend a lazy afternon drinking cocktails by the pool. But what pool?
To make up for the lack of on-site swimming, the hotel offer a free shuttle bus down to a local beach club. It's nice of them, but sometimes a girl just needs the use of a sun lounger, the promise of cool, clear water and NO SAND!
Amenities in the hotel are pretty good aside from the lack of a pool and no gym, with free fast wifi, TVs in each room and really nice bathrooms, plus my room had a lovely balcony looking out over the marina. The hotel breakfast was very pleasant to eat out there in the sunshine, but if I ever return to the Balearics a hotel with a swimming pool is essential for my happiness. read more
