Sirenis Hotel Club Siesta

About Sirenis Hotel Club Siesta

Sirenis Hotel Club Siesta suits families with children and couples who want a pool-and-facilities base within easy reach of Santa Eulària des Riu. The hotel sits in the east of Ibiza, about 1 km in a straight line from the town, so the promenade, the marina and the quieter evenings of the river town are close without being on the doorstep. Guests who plan to split days between the pool and the coast will find Cala Llonga and Es Canar a short drive away.

It is a four-star hotel club rather than a small guesthouse, with the range of facilities that implies: an outdoor pool, a kids pool, a pool bar, restaurants, bars, a garden, a fitness centre and a game room are all listed. A guest score of 4.3 out of 5 from 345 reviews is listed for the property. Expect an organised, busy stay in high summer and a calmer one in the shoulder months, when the east coast empties out.

Location: Santa Eulària des Riu

Santa Eulària des Riu is a river town on Ibiza's east coast, with a promenade along the water, a marina and slower evenings than the island's club resorts. The hotel's address on Carrer Ses Margalides puts it about 1 km in a straight line from the town, a distance that is walkable for many guests and easy by taxi for others. Santa Eulària is one of the island's main towns and keeps going through the year, unlike much of the seasonal coast.

A car or the island buses make the surrounding coast easier: Cala Llonga is about 2.9 km away in a straight line and Es Canar about 5.5 km, both served by seasonal bus lines. Ibiza Town port is about 10.6 km from Sirenis Hotel Club Siesta and the airport about 17.7 km, so a hire car simplifies arrivals and day trips. In July and August the east coast roads and car parks are busy; in May, June, September and October the same drives are quick and the beaches quieter.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms at Sirenis Hotel Club Siesta are listed with air conditioning, a balcony, a television, a telephone, a safe, a minibar and a hairdryer, which covers the practical side of a beach holiday. Couples tend to use the balcony and the outdoor pool; families get more from the kids pool, the game room and the entertainment activities. Late arrivals are helped by the 24 hour front desk and luggage storage, and the multilingual staff and currency exchange smooth the first evening. Wifi is listed.

Breakfast is listed, as are restaurant and bar options and a pool bar, and a golf course appears among the facilities, so it is worth asking the hotel which of these are open during your dates and whether any are seasonal. Confirm board arrangements, pool opening hours and whether a balcony is guaranteed rather than requested. Pets are not allowed. Lift access and credit card payment are listed; ask the hotel about parking and about transfers before booking.

Getting there

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) lies in Sant Josep, about 17.7 km from Sirenis Hotel Club Siesta in a straight line, on the far side of Ibiza Town. Taxis and hire cars cover the run most directly; buses link the airport with Ibiza Town and Santa Eulària, and the island bus operator's summer timetables are the ones to check for a connection onwards to the hotel. Allow extra time in July and August, when the airport road and the approach to Santa Eulària carry heavy traffic.

Ibiza Town port, about 10.6 km away in a straight line, brings ferries from Formentera (La Savina), Palma, Barcelona, Valencia and Dénia; from the terminal the hotel is a straightforward drive east towards Santa Eulària des Riu. The town itself is about 1 km from the hotel, Cala Llonga about 2.9 km and Es Canar about 5.5 km. Seasonal buses run along this coast, while winter flights and ferries are fewer, so check times with the operators and with Sirenis Hotel Club Siesta.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Llonga, about 2.9 km away in a straight line, is a long sheltered inlet with shallow water, good for children. Es Canar, about 5.5 km, is a sheltered family beach with the Punta Arabí hippy market, listed at about 6 km, held on Wednesdays in season. Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta is about 4.9 km away, with Saturdays listed and current days worth checking. Sirenis Hotel Club Siesta is not beachfront, so plan on a short drive or bus ride to swim.

Eating on Ibiza's east coast means fish and rice. Bullit de peix and arròs a banda, the island's fish stew served in two courses, appear on many menus in Santa Eulària des Riu, along with simply grilled fish and rice dishes. Village bars inland keep a shorter menu. The restaurant and bars at Sirenis Hotel Club Siesta are listed for guests who prefer to stay in. For a change, Ibiza Town and Dalt Vila are about 11.1 km away, with year-round eating.

A day from Sirenis Hotel Club Siesta

Start early with the short run from Sirenis Hotel Club Siesta to Cala Llonga, about 2.9 km in a straight line, for a swim in the sheltered inlet before the car park fills. Return to Santa Eulària des Riu, about 1 km from the hotel, for a walk along the promenade and around the marina. In the afternoon, drive or take the bus to Es Canar, about 5.5 km, where the sheltered beach suits children and the Punta Arabí market runs on Wednesdays in season.

On a Saturday, head inland instead: Las Dalias market at Sant Carles de Peralta is about 4.9 km away in a straight line, with current market days worth checking before setting out. Late afternoon, drive south to Ibiza Town, about 10.6 km to the port and 11.1 km to Dalt Vila, and walk the Renaissance walls before the light goes. A hire car makes the loop simple, buses and taxis cover it with more waiting, and the pool bar and evening entertainment wait back at Sirenis Hotel Club Siesta.

Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's seasonal business, from beach bars and boat trips to many restaurants, closes roughly from November to April, while Santa Eulària des Riu and Ibiza Town stay open all year. Check Sirenis Hotel Club Siesta's own opening dates before booking outside the summer. July and August are the peak weeks and the busiest on the east coast roads. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates depend on the hotel's category and the season, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rates.
