| said: Just returned from 2 week stay in this hotel.First impression of room was not good,furnishings were tatty and and room was dull.It was clean enough but needed some TLC.The view though was fantastic from our large terrace, so no complaints there.
Food was not brilliant and got sick of chips at every meal time,there was no other potato alternative,salad bar,pasta dishes were ok.you can book for the chinese restaurant in the reception,this is in the sister hotel next door,but it is only open for an hour for you to eat the food. Staff were freindly enough but entertainment ,well was can i say ok if you got kids but only the odd time they put something decent on for adults,reps do a lot of the entertaining.
None of this spoiled my holiday ,you just get on with it and have a good time.warning though if you go and you are allocated on the second floor you will be greeted by the awful damp smell as this hotel is built into the rocks,also the bar terrace is directly above your room and the noise from scraping chairs/tables is unbelievable and baby elephants wearing high heels is constant, so dont expect to have a nice siesta or god forbid an early night.
Another problem with the bar above your terrace is some people tend to think it is an ash tray and throw their lit ciggy stumps on to your terrace( happened to us). We would go back to this hotel but only if assured we would get a higher floor as the smell of damp as you approached our corridor was awful as well as the noise above.

| said: The Galeon hotel is situated on a cliff with superb views over the beach,there are quite a few steps to beach 146 to be exact. but there is a lift through the other hotel.Maid service everyday, had small balcony but our 16yrold and friends had family room with large balcony.Food was good although I think too many chips for lunch and dinner!range from fish meatballs paella pizza roast chicken legs and fresh whole salmon. kids made their own toasties! entertainment started at 9.30pm each evening shows were acrobats, magic, flamenco and also audience participation these we liked the best the 16yr olds really got involved There were activities in the day but not too many table tennis darts waterpolo and killerpool.Dimitri was great with the kids. quite a lot of French and Swedish but also some Brits.Shows were at front of pool so if you had young children it would be quite noisy. Finished by 11pm.

| said: This was our second visit to the Galeon and we cant wait to go back .
The hotel is set on the cliffside with stunning views over the bay all rooms have this view there is a lovely balcony bar with friendly bar staff the drinks are nice but in plastic glasses untill the pool closes.
You can use your all inclusive option in the sister hotel next door and the hotel near the beach there is a western saloon bar next to the beach serving hot dogs burgers chips etc this is where the nightly entertainment takes place. which is first class very funny the lead entertainer is called Zorro and is outrageous. He has a great team.
The food in the Galeon is excellent full english breakfasts it is worth the walk back from the beach for lunch.
The food is plentiful. Lots to choose from you have a help youself beer tap in the restaurant. There is a Mexican corner for food a tapas and Chinese at the sister hotel so there is plenty of choice.
I have no hesitation in recommending the Galeon you will have a great time.

W from Canvey travelled to Galeon Playa Hotel with
Eclipse (First Choice)

| said: The resort is VERY quiet with entertainment mainly provided in the Hotels - which is generally 20 years out of date - this is true of the 3 hotels in the complex. The Galeon itself is mainly used by the French, makes a nice change from a Brits only hotel - however be aware that security is very lax and often people use the pool at all hours with no consideration for other guests in the hotel.
There are much better resorts in Ibiza - Playa Den Bossa, San Antonio Bay etc to name a couple.
Would never go to this resort again,
