Insotel Tarida Beach Resort & SPA

Most clientele were like us grandparents and young families. Many buggies but all areas easy access with sloping paths.including the broadwalk to beach where you could catch nice sunset Buffet very good in quality and variety and we liked the free ice cream all day Beach sandy and there is a good variety of pools but bit cold in May. Plenty of sunbeds Rooms fine and clean The Retreat had waterslides playpark and the buffet Probably as Season just started no evening entertainment except kids Disco Last day became busier and some queues for meals Great choice in May for those with small folk

We’ve stayed in this hotel various times over the last 8 years and we absolutely love it. The staff are lovely, the nearby beach is wonderful with gorgeous clear sea, the food is delicious and all the rooms are great! We’ve stayed in quite a few - from the adults only swim up to the ones with the roof terrace and jacuzzi, and the adults only sea view balcony. All of them are worth every penny and the place is spotless. Really beautiful and peaceful place - even when there are lots of families around - there are plenty of quiet adult only areas. There is a nearby spa (can also say that the treatments are wonderful) and a gym. Literally couldn’t want for anything more… except maybe to stay another week!! Honestly, can’t wait to go back!

We have just got back from our holiday at Tarida Beach - and we had a fantastic week here 😀 We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 5yo & 1yo) and booked this hotel as it had everything we would need without needing to venture out with the kids and we were not disappointed. (Also because of nice short transfer only 30 mins!) The hotel is set on a gorgeous sandy beach - perfect for the kids to play on and lovely views. You follow the path down through the hotel grounds and has a boardwalk along the sand with an area to park up the pushchairs next to the toilets so you didn't need to struggle getting the pushchairs over the sand! There are lots of payable sunbeds if required but plenty of space to lay on the sand with your towels. We came down here most mornings after breakfast as it was always nice and quiet and again for a stroll after the mini disco to catch the beautiful sunsets! The hotel is spread out lovely on a gradual slope, everywhere nice and clean well looked after. It made for a nice walk around during the day to get your steps in as being as there's not alot to walk around outside of the hotel - the adults pool and bar area is right at the bottom, followed by the show bar area, up to the buffet restaurant & sunset bar area, then the main family pool/kids club/shop area then you follow up past the rooms and out of the gate, up the road for a couple of minutes and youre at the Retreat. Being early in the season, the kids disco and the evening entertainment was all inside but they did have a stage set up for outside which I assume they will do here later on in the year. Kids disco started at 8 and only lasted around half hour which is a shame but the kids loved it. Then at 9 the evening shows started, which were good - during the week we had live singers, and acrobatic performances which were really good. We were happy with the choice of food in the buffet restaurant, with different theme each night - plenty of meats and nice salads to choose from and a great selection from the kids buffet section too. Omelette station at breakfast was fab, and seafood paella offered at lunchtimes. Table service for the drinks too so it saved getting up too much with the kids. The views of the beach and pool from the outside tables are brilliant. The family pool area was great - 1 shallow pool for the kids to walk around and play in and 1 deeper pool for swimming. We always managed to get 4 sunbeds together whatever time of day we arrived here which was good. The bar in the middle offered snacks and ice creams throughout the day as well as drinks. Drinks in all the bars had a great selection - Estrella beer, wines, sangria and lots of cocktails to choose from! The Retreat was excellent, you can spend the whole day here if you wish - there's 2x playgrounds for the kids, football court, archery, the splash park with slides, and also 2x smaller deeper pools for swimming. Also another buffet restaurant and bar. There is also the hotel spa just behind the Retreat which has the gym in which you can use, but the indoor pool and spa facilities you have to pay extra for a visit (something around 50 euros for adults and 30 for kids) it looked nice enough but we didnt bother due to the charge. We booked a standard double room, and I did worry in case the room was going to be a bit of a squeeze with us all but it was nice and spacious. We had emailed the hotel prior to ensure we got a travel cot for little one which had a good comfortable mattress and sheet. And our 5yo was happy with her kids bed in the living area. Do recommend requesting a ground level room if you have a pushchair as well as to avoid having to carry everything up the outdoor stairs to the rooms. Also managed to get Cbeebies on the tv in the room which was a bonus, nice for that bit of downtime in the room whilst getting ready for dinner! Overall, we found this hotel great - family friendly whilst being nice and good for adults too. The staff are all friendly and polite - especially the bar staff. Hotel looks nice and modern throughout.. The only downside we have is that we thought there would be more entertainment going on around the hotel and at night time - there is not an animation team here or the TUI bots shows etc that we have experienced at other TUI Blue hotels - if the hotel started doing this it would make it even better. Thank you for a great holiday!

This was our first family holiday with our 3 year old son and we absolutely loved this hotel. I will breakdown as much as I can Pool: The pool area is beautiful and well kept. The only issue we had was it was freezing cold! Had the pool been heated, it would have been perfect. There’s plenty of sun loungers and a bar in the middle. It’s a lagoon style pool so looks so pretty, especially when it’s lit up at night. We didn’t use the adult only pool but it looked to be relaxing and great for anyone wanting a quieter time. The retreat: Amazing!!! I’d say this is great for kids up to the age of around 7-8, but any older children may struggle as the splash park doesn’t have any bigger slides. For us it was perfect though. Again, the only issue being it was freezing cold! But the bar and snacks here were fantastic and it was just a perfect day as you feel like you’re heading out for the day but you don’t pay for a thing. There’s also sports courts and a decent sized playground here. I wish we got to spend more time here as my son had a great day. Bars: We didn’t use T-beach as the beach was inaccessible for most of our stay. (I will explain properly later on in the review). We did however use the pool bar and the sunset bar. We found the quality of drinks to be quite good and a lot of international and branded drinks were available which was great. The bar staff were always very friendly too. The sunset bar was the highlight of this hotel for me. It’s aptly named as the sunsets here are unmatched. If you stay here, make sure you head up to the sunset bar and catch a sunset or two. They’re honestly stunning! Food: The buffet was decent, always something to satisfy even the fussier eaters. It could get a bit samey but I tried to have a different meal each night and didn’t really struggle with that. They did also do some theme nights too and there was always freshly cooked pasta on offer, prepared in front of you. Lunch was pretty much the same every day but this didn’t matter too much, especially if you fill up at breakfast. You could also get sandwiches, wraps and ice creams from the pool bars which were lovely. Breakfast was the same every day but it was all lovely. The only consistent issue we had was it was quite cold most days, no matter what time we went. The Italian restaurant was incredible! Honestly amazing! The best food we had all week and the service was great too. Grounds: STUNNING!! This hotel is so aesthetically pleasing, it’s just beautiful. It’s very well kept and the lighting at night just really makes it. There are areas that are a bit steep though as it’s built on a hill so elderly people or people with mobility issues may struggle here. By the end of the final day my son was struggling a little bit but it wouldn’t put us off returning. Cleanliness: Perfect, no complaints what so ever. The house keeping team worked so hard. The whole hotel was spotless, even the toilets by the pool were constantly being cleaned. Staff: Very friendly and approachable, no complaints at all. The house keeping team especially went out their way to greet everyone as they walked past. The bar staff were great too and the reception team were always approachable. Location: Beautiful area but no a great deal around. There’s a couple of restaurants around a 10-15 minute walk away and there’s a couple on the beach that other guests said were great, but we didn’t try any of those. There’s a shop right by the retreat too call the serenis, which was great. This had mainly souvenirs and gifts. You can get a bus outside the retreat that takes you in to San Antonio but be prepared to take change, it says on the bus website that you could pay on card but the driver refused this, the price was also significantly higher to what was advertised online. It was only around 20-30 minutes from the airport though and as this is quite a popular choice, the majority of the transfer coach was for this hotel only so it was a very quick and easy transfer. Entertainment: There a kids disco most nights but this started at 8pm. Considering most of the children here were under the age of 5, this seemed very late and we didn’t get to experience much of the entertainment because of this. I believe there was usually a show from 9pm but I can’t really comment on the quality of them as we didn’t see them. Other guests did say they were slightly disappointed with the quality of entertainment though. Now for the drama of the beach being inaccessible. So this isn’t the hotels fault at all but I do feel they could have put provisions in place to prevent less inconvenience to guests. On the third night of our stay, there was a storm that caused damage to the beach and the retreat. However, the hotel knew about this and did nothing to prepare. The retreat was then closed for the rest of our stay as they needed to filter the water. Had they have prepared in advance, they could have easily covered the retreat over completely to avoid this. It’s such a shame as this is the main reason we booked this hotel and was the best part for us. We only got to use it once. With the retreat and beach being closed, the family pool was then massively overcrowded. The hotel didn’t offer to open the adults pool up to families, (which at the time was pretty empty). It was a real struggle to get sun loungers and it just felt so busy. The beach was very badly damaged and it meant no one could access it for a couple of days. When you then could access it again, there was diggers doing works right next to sunbathers which was very dangerous. This meant we only stayed a very short time and then left. I don’t think the beach belongs to the hotel but it did affect our overall experience here. Overall, this is classed as a 4 star hotel and honestly I think that’s fair. However, there’s a few little tweaks that could easily turn this into a 5 star: An extra bar - all the bars that are open at night time are down one end of the hotel. The hotel is pretty big so if you’re staying at the other end like we were, there isn’t much there at all and it’s quite a long walk to the bars and entertainment area. There is a water and juice machine in the lobby, if they just added a small bar here, it would make a huge difference. An extra food area included in the AI - much like the bars, all the food options (except the Italian restaurant that you can use once) are down one end. There is quite a long walk from the family pool to the restaurant for lunch. If they added even a small food truck up the other end of the hotel I think this would help massively. An extra a-la-Carte restaurant would be great too. You have T-beach and the Sunset bar but they’re sooo expensive! One of them serves Tapas but it was 45 euros each, if that was included it would make such a difference. More facilities for children inside the main hotel grounds - I think this hotel is mainly for families with young children but with that being said, there isn’t much for children outside of the retreat. There’s a small kids club but there isn’t anything else. That meant when the retreat closed at 6, there was nothing at all. It would be good to have a playground inside the main hotel grounds, or maybe a soft play. As the retreat was closed for the majority of our stay, it was difficult to find things that were age appropriate for our son. The shop - make it bigger! It’s tiny and there isn’t a lot to choose from. I know it’s an all inclusive resort so you don’t need to buy much, but there wasn’t many snacks you could buy and take back to your room. I wanted a Fanta lemon and some lays on the balcony! Overall, I really loved this hotel. Yes we had the issue of the retreat being closed and a couple of minor issues, but would I let that put me off coming back? Absolutely not! We got an absolute bargain for this holiday and I'm on the lookout for another cheap break so we can come back ASAP. I would recommend this to anyone with younger children who still want a beautiful hotel that holds itself to a high standard. I think it would be great for couples too. Honestly, I can’t wait to return here one day.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Perfect Getaway for Families and Relaxation We had the most wonderful stay at Insotel Cala Tarida Beach Resort & Spa! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by warm, friendly, and attentive staff who went above and beyond to make our holiday special. The resort itself is beautifully maintained, with lush grounds that are perfect for both relaxation and play. There was so much to do for both adults and kids – from fun activities and entertainment to peaceful spots for unwinding. The beach is absolutely stunning, just a short stroll away, with crystal-clear waters and breathtaking views. The food and drinks were fantastic – plenty of variety, fresh options, and something to suit every taste. Whether we were enjoying a poolside cocktail or a delicious meal at one of the restaurants, everything was top-notch. This resort truly offers the perfect balance of relaxation and fun. We left feeling refreshed and already dreaming of our next visit. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone looking to enjoy the best of Ibiza in a welcoming and beautiful setting.

Lovely hotel, great welcome was told rooms would be ready from 3pm, got our keys around midday, food in the restaurant had good choice for the week that we had there even as a vegi, Good size pool but chilly in October but kids loved it. Snacks at the pool side bar could be improved hard to tell what drinks they offer, as never saw menu until you ask. Adult pool never seemed to be busy. The retreat side few minutes walk not bad more for younger kids. Hire a car from the hotel great service and price and go and see Ibiza. Lovely beach behind the hotel amazing sunsets. If you like the pools, get the swim up rooms (wish we had done so) overall great value for money.

Had a Fantastic time at Tarida Beach Hotel Room got water through ceiling first night because of Storm went to Reception they sorted us a room to move to the next day. All staff were very helpful and Polite food was good plenty of choice Hotel and rooms very clean the beach at Hotel was fantastic. We will go back to this hotel again Thanks

I was apprehensive after seeing some negative comments online, but this resort was absolutely incredible. The entire resort (the main resort and the retreat) were immaculately clean (and we stayed at the end of the season) and well maintained, the staff were so friendly and welcoming, the apartment was spotless, comfortable and spacious, the food was delicious, fresh and so much choice. The pools were clean and well maintained. I could not fault this resort, and the beach, views and sunsets were an added bonus. 10/10 would recommend and return!

A sparkling welcome drink on arrival was a nice touch for the adults, which made the checking in less boring as there was a long queue. Can children be offered a drink too after travelling? Reception were helpful when I had queries/questions. Hotel was beautiful, really clean everywhere, including the room which had maid service daily. Amenities in the room were spot on, including iron and ironing bored if needed. Our room had a nice pool view (private pools for room upgrades) and balcony, pleased with that! Staff friendly, hardworking, especially the waiter staff at busy times, just expect to wait a bit longer to be served at those times. Most understood my 'decaffeinated coffee' request. Food was nice and warm with good choice, Italian restaurant was good but no wow factor! Daily fitness throughout the day, including yoga, aqua aerobics, pilates, and much more. I had a massage treatment at the spa and used the 20 per cent discount as pricey. Was good though! Didn't use the nightly entertainment due to my child's needs, maybe another quieter area in the evening would be good to accommodate this. We used the lobby to play card games but no option to get an alcoholic drink apart from coffee (which i dislike) or soft drink. There is the beautiful Sunset bar which we used though! Highlight of the night, seeing those sunsets!! Great location, couple of minutes walk to the public beach which was pleasant. The Retreat was brilliant, kept my children entertained especially the football pitch! Worth the walk up the hill! Not much in the resort so either hire a car (from Hotel Class) or busses go to San Antonio but not direct to Ibiza Town this time of year. I hired a car for the day, worth it! I would recommend this hotel or go back as had no issues, felt happy, safe and most of all my children were happy with the facilities. Well done Tui Blue Playa Tarida!

Would highly recommend caters for adults without children and with children. Had the most chilled and relaxed week away soaking up the sun, eating good food and reading. Staff were very attentive, food was good and varied with different themed nights. Located right on a beautiful beach. We relaxed around the adult swimming pool which has a bar located next to it. Pool loungers were so comfortable. Hotel room was big with a sofa, we went for the whirlpool terrace on top of the room and it didn’t disappoint sunsets from this view point were amazing. I will definitely be going back. Can’t recommend highly enough.
