A review of an Ibiza hotel that's part of the Hilton Curio Collection via Jet2 holidays. I hope you enjoy my Travel Diaries and find them useful when planning your own trips ✈️
I’ve never been to Ibiza Sharon and so many people have told me I’d love it. I would choose the quieter area - like you - but with poolside Ibiza tune vibes so this sounds ideal. However, thanks to you - I would now defo check what’s included etc as your mixed experience seems to have highlighted that it’s a must do! Glad you enjoyed it despite the annoying blips! Thanks for sharing! 🩷
I think Ibiza has so much to offer, Lisa for every type of holiday. I especially love the Balearics because just a short plane journey and you are there .. bonus!
We are thinking about going to Croatia in September - never been - have you? I think it will be one where we book everything separately again for a change. Thankyou! x
I thought the hotel looked amazing when I saw your photos but the reality seems like a bit of style over substance and not like the Ibiza I know and love . Sadly I would never book a package holiday . Having worked in the travel industry for over 20 years I know the mark ups the tour operators make on these packages and also that the room allocations are never the best rooms in the hotel . I book my flights and then email the hotel directly asking for the best price for the best room for that date ( adding any comments about special occasions etc always helps) . I always think that as a direct guest of the hotel you get allocated the best rooms and are far more likely to get upgraded.
It had the potential to be perfect but just missed the mark.
We've had several holidays booked via Jet2 over recent years and I've got to admit we've always been happy with the outcome. Mostly, we love how easy it all is at LBA because Leeds is the home of Jet2 so it should be good shouldn't it?
Thankfully and despite of all of the disappointments we did have a wonderful holiday. The area was so picturesque and unspoilt.
I've got to agree though that the holidays where we've booked everything separately have never let us down either.
I'd recommend anyone to try CSM but book direct and opt for the Club option if possible!
That said I'm off on another Jet2 break with my son again in less than two weeks time 😊
