Food was good and plenty of it, infact this is the first time I have got bored with eating paella. Food available nearly all day and very welcome it was.

Room which was small faced a giant white wall, balcony full of cigarette ends from our "friends above".

Bar: Plenty to drink if you like plastic glasses. Fellow guests had competitions every night to see who could get the most drinks on the table at 10-55, got to pay at 11 but they would leave them cos they were so drunk!

Staff: Pleasant but laughing most of the time at our rude fellow guests.

Could not possibly recommend this hotel to anyone and would only return at gunpoint!

Me and my family had an amazing time at the hotel el greco. It was clean to an extreme everything was spotlessly clean. The food wa out of this world it was wonderfull and the staff in the dining room were excellent. The location wasnt great for a family there is not a lot to do but you litrelly come out of the hotel down a flight of stair and your on the beach. The staff were great and very helpful. The entertainment was well.. entertaining! But the only one recommendation would be not to come with children who cant walk on their own too many steps.P.S there is air conditioning in every room which made our stay that much more com fortable. All in all i would give this hotel 9/10. Excellent!

When we arrived at el greco, they welcomed us well, and we went to the room. A little warm in the room until we turned on the air conditioning, which was free, and stayed on for the whole ten days and kept the room nice and cool. The steps aren't too bad and although there are many, you cope, and when you get on the beach there is decking which you can walk on until you get to the front, so not too sandy shoes, although there is sand between the decking and bottom of stairs, which they should really put decking all the way to there. the first bit of the water park slope can be dangerous, and is hard to get up especially if you have sandals on, however if you go round some trees there is another way to get up that involves stairs. The bar in the water park is very useful, and means you don't have to leave the water park all the time to get drinks. the slides are all good, its not the biggest water park in the world, but its such a rarity that a hotel owns one that its quite good for what you'd expect.
The food in the hotel was absolutely excellent, as they did a chinese buffet every other night that was delicious, and even on a monday they had a rhost. Free drinks are always useful, as it can get quite thirsty in the heat, although the drinks are served in half pint glasses, which meant people bought frisbies and were ordering 10 drinks at a time, using the frisbies as trays. The beach is quite nice, although one day the sea was really rough, and a horrible pool was made near the front of the beach, which had lots of cigarette butts in, and a few pieces of litter. Although the next morning while eating breakfast in the restaurant that looks over the beach and sea, i could see the cleaners coming out with there bins to clean up the mess. The beach did have flags on it, which are useless if you don't understand them, and as the reps didn't tell us about these that was not good, as being so close to a beach and with lots of children around, its not good.
Some of the entertainment was good, like ricky g, and vinyl seemed quite funny and good, but otherwise there were only really 2 entertainers. 1 of which looked after the children very well while doing the mini disco, which was a great thing for kids. and the turbo quiz was usually quite interesting. The maids seemed to clean the room everyday, which was excellent, as i have never seen this in a hotel before. Overall the experience was very good and we probably will be returning next year.

Excellent value for money.Great value if you are looking for a hotel who's child age is 15. Food- lots of it including supper,Being fully inclusive dinks were included but only served half pintes which meant returning to the bar quite a lot
The location right on the beach witha free waterpark was a winner with the kids.When we visited the hotel had obviously had had trouble appointing entertainment staff and one poor guy was all on his own.Some of the proffesional acts that visited were quite good especially Robbie Williams.

Altough I booked this hotel at the last minute and it was allocated on arrival. I was quite pleased overall.There are a couple of points I would like to make.firstly the pool is to small for the size of the hotel and can get very busy after 8am. secondly there's an awful lot of steps to get to the beach.Other than that have a great time..Steve

A very enjoyable [allocation on arrival] holiday, made especially so by the high standards of the El Greco. All rooms were air-conditioned, which was free. Rooms cleaned daily and fresh bed-linen and towels were provided. Cleanliness and quality of the restaurant excellent; diners were asked to use disposable hygenic 'wipes' before entering the dining room, which was carefully supervised by the managers. Chef's regularly appeared to check food was in tip-top order. Wide selection of buffet-style food with different 'specials' each evening including Chinese. Every taste was catered for including childrens menus and there was even an ice-cream machine. Tables cleared effeciently and effectively by the very friendly staff. Water Park fantastic, especially with teenagers; 6 rides, 3 of which for the older kids and adults.
The water park was only available to guests of the El Greco and served free ices, soft drinks and beers from 11 -6. Some of the paved areas became very slippy with no warning signs. Entertainment was a little repetitive for the kids; same songs every night, adult entertainment a little better.

I love the Hotel El Greco - This was our third time at the hotel, we love it so much we keep coming back for more!!! Our family loves Ibiza - it's nothing like alot of people expect. In the north the island is a peaceful oasis, with no major noise after about midnight.

The hotel is extremly clean - the staff work very hard, which is evident. The barstaff are friendly, and one even lokks a bit like Peter Andre. Im so sad this year, as my parents are going back with my little brother, who goes free as he is under 16. Unfortunately as Ive just passed that age and I have a job I cannot go.

The Hotel is great! Me and a few friends are planning to go after our first year of college next year. I only have a few critisisms to make.

The pool is too small for the resort and sometimes there is a faint sewage smell around that area. Also at luch time people do tend to sit in the restaurant with wet bottoms after swimming - this is a pain.

However this is a wonderful resort and hotel. It must be as we keep going back. We've been to other hotels, but they just don't compare.

This hotel is one of the worste I have ever stayed in its not all bad there where some good points.

The hotel is still in the eighty's the rooms are very very small and the air conditioning system is in the dark ages I though I was in a sauna. Dont take a great deal of clothes with you there is nowhere to put them and heaven help you if your a family with children all in the same room.

The staff where really friendly and the cleaning staff worked really hard but they where always useing the lifts by the way there is only two and if you like slow no very slow lifts they will be just right for you.

The food was so so plenty of choice if you like typical english food burgers sausages and roast dish of the day, not very hot food but hay ho.

The pool area is so small its impossible to get a sunbed unless your up befor 5am, we went to the beach most days which was really nice and peacefull.

If you like children you will love this place its full of them and hundreds of them everywhere all screaming there heads off.

Dont even think about this place if you have trouble with steps theres steps everywhere not the place if you have any kind of dissability or a pushchair or two.

Overall I guess this is a family resort very quiet nothing to do in the evenings but stay in the hotel there was some trouble during our holiday with the usual single groups of lads making a nuisence of themselves we where told the police come around to the hotel on a regular basis.

The down side is at 2300 the bar closes to all inclusive guests then you have to pay for drinks the whole hotel locks up at midnight and even the lights go out on you balcony.

My overall opin ion was a bit like hi de hi with to may drunks.

Lets just say I would never go on holiday again if this was the only option.

Having 2 young children, as long as you enjoy carrying a buggy all over the place due to the steps then this Hotel is for you.

The childrens club and staff were great, but the remainder of the entertainment was none existent for young children. Also the water park that is part of the all inclusive deal was very run down.

This is the first holiday that I have wanted to go home from after 3 days.
