Bluesea Coral Beach in Es Canar

This was our first time going to Ibiza, and was booked through OnTheBeach. I really cannot see where this hotel comes in as a 3***. I understand it is near the end of the season, but for those that are time limited on when they can go on holiday, surely the hotel(s) need to rely on people like us to keep them going in the slower period? If you arrive after the bar has closed, you have no access to tea or coffee or cold water, unless you want to pay €3.60 for a bottle at the vending machine. There are no tea/coffee facilities available in the rooms, these must be hired, but there is also no fridge, although they can hire you one for €50 a week. (anything hired MUST be paid in CASH..) The hotel was Clean and presentable, and the room was nice and large (accessible/disabled room) booked, but that’s where it starts to fall apart. The bathroom was very dated, and needs more lighting, with it being very dark once the shower curtain is pulled around, and also in the corner where the toilet is. The shower whilst adequate, will also without warning, scald you for a couple of seconds then go back to normal, and the shower head was VERY rusty and covered in limescale, and the drain had a lot of clogged hair in it. The main room the ceiling has what can only be described as thin metal slats that are not fixed down, and if you open the balcony door and there is any slight wind, these constantly rattle and crash. Any outside wind howls through the balcony doors where the seals are no longer sealing. The hotel room doors need soft closing mechanism’s as they just slam (although that might be because they don’t always close properly without slamming them) The hotel only has 2 small lifts for too many people and rooms, considering most people need to use them at around the same time each day for the restaurant. (one was out of use for 2-3 days) We also enquired about hiring a mobility scooter. The hotel emailed back to say they can arrange for €125 when I went to the desk on Saturday to book it, the price had gone up to €130 but when it was delivered and the hotel called me, despite an assurance of one as requested, conveniently there was no receipt available, and the price was €140. (also to be paid in cash only) I refused and was allowed to keep it for €130. The food is the main let down of this holiday (I have stayed at many 3* hotels) The food was never hot, even if you were the first into the restaurant, the trays would come out and be put in the bain-maries (which were not even on most of the time) and it was cold or lukewarm if you were lucky. The breakfast was identical each day, and not very warm, but the sausages were terrible, just tasted of breadcrumbs and pepper, not any taste of meat. Lunch and dinner were both pretty similar, in that nothing was really hot, potato wise you have to put up with chips (cold) at every meal, I think there was only 1 other day, they had another potato product (as well as chips) The pasta and associated sauces

It was clean and the staff very helpful/friendly. Food cold, tasteless and repetitive, entertainment as paid for and expected didn't happen. I wouldn't go again
