| said: Ive just arrived back home after a fantastic time in ibiza staying at the Casita Blanca hotel. Upon arrival we were greeted by a grumpy man at reception called ***** .
We arrived at night so the following morning an 18-30s rep came up to our room and introduced herself she was fab and made the whole holiday a worthwhile experience. We booked most of our nights out/trips with her and paid for them on the first day. Im glad that I did this as it meant I could plan the rest of my holiday around the big nights out.
During the day me and my mate laid around by the pool and even on the first day noticed how friendly everyone was. The atmosphere is great and everyone gets to know everyone. We met a group of girls on the first day and ended up spending the whole 2 weeks with them.
Because we went self catering on this holiday instead of eating out every night we bought food from the local shops and cooked meals ourselves most of the time...but if you plan on doing this watch out for the gas hob as its a bit dodgy to light!!!(many burnt fingers!!). The food at the poolside bar is good and not too expensive either..although I wouldnt recommend the burgers, they dont look like they have much beef in them!!
The location is good being a short drunken walk away from the westend bars. There are loads of shops just around the corner aswell.
Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. One night our lock broke on our door and we couldnt get into our room. We went down to reception and ***** let us borrow another room for the night until someone could come to fix it the following day.
We ended up getting moved to another room because they couldnt fix the door which was good until the electricity kept tripping in that room...it got fixed in the end though. Some rooms did get broken into but that didnt suprise me as the doors were either left open or not locked properly. It is worth finding out how to double lock the room doors to stop any break ins!!!
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Casita Blanca and hope to go back in the future.

| said: Hotel rooms are basic but clean. Beds not great buy a lilo to put on top of the matress.
Hotel had good atmosphere and pool was good sized and where most people chilled during the day.
Food was good and quite cheap and pool bar staff friendly.
All in all pretty good for the time you spend there.
Reps were very unhelpful and uninterested in anything other than getting your money out of you for their trips- which on feedback from others were terrible.
Even when we had a family crisis and had to fly home early we sorted everything ourselves reps were a total waste of space and completely unsympathetic and didnt offer to do anything to help. We just got a "oh sorry the office is closed".

| said: I have just returned from a week from hell at the Casita Blanca apartments. Firstly the reps just dropped us off at the end of a random road and told us "its just up there you'll find it no problem" then we had to pay 30 euros upon arrival incase we damaged the room.
The next day the rep came to see us and she was so pushy trying to get us to sign up to all the different excursions. We eventually agreed( just to get her out our room!) to go to Trinity which we were told had bar where drinks were only 1 euro( instead of the you'll pay in the bars) for 3 hours. The ticket cost us 50 euros and we got dragged to 2 different bars before we walked the 20 min walk to Kanya. We waited for 90mins at the bar and still didnt have a drink in our hand plus tim westwood was DJing so we left. It was a complete waste of money and we were completly mislead by our extremley unhelpful rep.
Several apartments got broken into and money and jewllery was stolen and the aparment below us woke up and found 2 spanish men in their room robbing them and end up getting beaten up. Again the reps were notified and nothing was done about it. Our door looked as if it had been broken into several times before.
The bar played the same Cascada cd all day every day and as it was cloudy and raining for most of or holiday we were stuck in the apartment being subjected to this horror!!!
If you are even thinking of sleeping then get yourself a lilo as the beds are awful its like a bit of foam and a lilo will be much more comfortable!!!
We were thrown out our room at 11am when we were under the impression we were to leave by 12. Our flight wasnt untill the sunday morning. We had to put our suitcases in this ramshackle cupboard which we were told would be look..it wasn. The door to this cupboard fell off and landed on a girl's toe taking most of her toe with it. The guy on reception said "oh dear thats a shame" told us it would be 150 euros fo a taxi and went back to reading his paper. The rep eventually turned up and said she couldn't give her any pills and then just went back to her room and we were left to clear up this girl's poor toe and try and get her some help.
All in all it is the worst place i have ever stayed and if you are thinking of going or have booked to go the please dont. I dont know what was worse the apartments or the reps. I am making a formal complaint to club 18-30 about the reps as they were only interested in getting your money and looking down at you if you didnt do the excursions. If you are going dont sign up for anything cos everyone that went said it was the biggest waste of money and they hated every minute of it!!

| said: Just arrived back from ibiza, the holiday was amazing but the hotel Casita Blanca was terrible, our room was not cleaned once while we were there or the beds, we had to ask them for more towels and toilet rolls as they didnt replace them, the beds were awful and dirty and we didnt want to sleep in them as they smelt, the staff were not helpful at all, the only good thing about this hotel is that we made some good friends there, everyone we spoke to felt the same about the hotel, i would advise anyone to have a second think about staying here.

| said: When me and my friend first arrived at the hotel we thought it looked clean enough. We were only staying here as we had previously booked Hotel Llevant and had read the bad reviews on it. The room was quite nicdee with a braekfast bar. However the balcony view wasn't all that but you cant win them all.
The only very helpful person was pedro the night security man. We had trouble with the boys next door who insulted my friend and I and threw our balcony chair over the balcony and insulted the security guard. The security guard was very understanding and made them pay for it. The beds are very uncomfortable and there were slats missing in mine.

Everyone was really nice made loads of friends and we are definitely going back next year, but next year we are going to get a big group of us! Can't wait to go back.

Everyone got on really well and we met a load of new people, chilling by the pool was great through the day and the crack across the balaconies on a night was imense!
The hotel room was extremely clean and we found the location of the hotel spot on, we were close to the Westend everything was close by.
We would defintely recommend this hotel to anyone and will hopefully be returning!

Basic but clean.
Everyone at the hotel were there for the same thing.
The legend that is Ray behind the bar, working 37 hour days and never seeing daylight. Pedro, a true diamond, (it's not possible;)) and his mate who had yellow skin who wouldn't give Foz his deposit back.
Looking forward to it, same time, same place, 2007.

Ibiza is about no sleep, no bed and lots of noise.
The hotel was bog standard but the atmosphere and the reps and staff are excellent.
Big thank you to big Ray working behind the bar he is a legend. Thirteen of us went and what a spot on time we had.
Food and drink cheap and on all day and night. Parties do not stop. Big thank you to PEDRO (Night Watchmen) for putting up with us and to our fantastic reps Linda, Heather and Gav. Be back soon guys.

| said: I was shocked on arrival as a cupboard door fell off and it didn't look very clean but a holiday.
After getting used to it-the atmosphere and people were brilliant and make your time so much more.
The bar is open until last man standing and the food is great with cheap drinks-people drinking at 12 in the day-what more do you want.
It seemed in the middle of nowhere but once you find your way about-its a 5 minutes walk from the west end.
The staff are horrible apart from the bar staff-there lovely and the little man who works nights is constantly drunk.
The entertainment was very loud music and constant partying and no sleeping by all in the apartments-it was great-everyone knew everyone else.
I had the best holiday ever and will be returning to the Casita in 2007.... ;)

| said: On arrival we did not think much off our hotel, but in the morning it was not so bad.
The rooms were ok apart from one bed being very fragile and of course it broke twice we managed to mend it and get our deposits back so not so bad.
The music was loud but ok as it was good tunes and helped me sleep. Outside our room there was a window in the hall and could have easily been opened but I think we were lucky. The cleaners were not very good as they only cleaned the room once in the time we were there which was a week.
The 18-30 reps were quite pushy when it came to doing there activities but most of them were a laugh, standing out was (Craig Denzel) (Scottish) he was hilarious, never a dull moment when he was around.
During our stay we had one storm it was very wild, we were at the beach at the time and it started raining very heavily and the wind got up and was so strong it was blowing the metal barriers for road works all over the place.

| said: Just arrived back 6 days early. Casita Blanca is a cheap and nasty place.
Our apartment was broken into from the outside. My phone, digital camera, watch, ring and mini disc were stolen. My freinds apartment was also robbed and they lost there wallet with all there cards, phones, clothes and digital cameras.
Didn't get any help from Spanish people at reception and police didnt want to know. The patio doors to room 115 and 113 are still broken and i seriously doubt they will be fixed. The Spanish guy at recpetion refused to moves us rooms and said that there was usually a robbery at least once a month. After kicking up a fuss with one of the reps to get us moved he finially said he had other aprtments we could go to but we each had to pay 60 Euro for the night. After refusing to pay we got to stay the night for free.
The night life is really good and I always enjoyed my nights out but I would emphasise that you spend a little more for a quality hotel to stay in with security.

My balcony was facing a block of flats and got no sun at all during the day.
Most of our reps were helpful and friendly
The hotel staff were not soo friendly the man that worked on reception would shout and blame the wrong people for making lots of noise. He would also try to look up girls skirts when they walked up the stairs at night

My brother and I 21 and 19 spent a week here 17-24th May 2006.You can't sleep as theres constant noise way up to 7 in the morning shouting and people banging on your door and running away.
Our apartment was broken into from the outside 1400 euros mp3 player , phone and watch stolen using safe keys stolen out my jeans pocket all while we slept!!!.
Couple of cool reps, but the spanish guys on reception are no help.
The room just looked mank and dated burnt hole in sheet and on table dingy balcony facing a housing apartment.
Cleaners only once a week. Spend a little more for a quality hotel in Ibiza.

Hotel was wicked fun, everyone always up for a laugh, having 'raves' on our balcony with about another 15 people!!!
Hotel staff were great.
Hotel was clean enough and the pool area was good to chill or have a laugh....
I'd go back for sure as it was so close to everything Ibiza has to offer in San Antonio

| said: I went to Ibiza 18-30 holiday so obviously i expec ted it to be a lively holiday!
On arrival we were met by our rep and we were shown our room, was a bit disapointed as we didnt have a balcony being on the bottom floor we had some sort of terrace. at the welcome meeting the rep pushed a load of club tickets etc on us with no information as to how we were supposed to get to these big clubs as most of them were out in the middle of nowhere!
The room itself was ok, the bathroom was fine and cleaned regularly. we didnt have any hot water but as the weather was red hot a warm shower was the last thing needed!
The pool seemed clean although I did see the odd cockroach at night, and there was pleanty of loungers, provided you got up before noon there was no problem in getting one.
The pool was nice and deep although didnt get in very much as there was usually loads of daft lads carrying on in it. But when it was quiet it was nice just to chill out.
Night times at this hotel are very noisy indeed people coming back at silly o clock pushing each other into the pool, setting off firecrackers and a lot of people shouting across balconies. a few nights I was woken up by the sound of the holiday rep having sex (he was in the room just along from ours) the hotel staff were ok, the guy who runs the pool bar does a spot on job very friendly & speaks good english.
There was a man there who I was under the impression was the manager (until a rep put me straight and told me he was just a receptionist) he wasnt very nice. He got into a few arguments with the reps about noise etc!
There was no entertainment, the bar played clubby dance music all day into the small hours of the night.
Basically the place was alright, was glad to get home though.
