J’ai séjourné dans cet hôtel et le service était irréprochable
Stunning hotel with views and staff very friendly
Geweldig hotel met top service. Deze keer suite geboekt, mooi & royaal, prachtig uitzicht op zee. Vriendelijk personeel. Lounge bar & dj's, heerlijke lunch & diner gerechten. Top hotel, ga eens kijken!
Every year, my friends and I look forward to our stay at the Garbi, and honestly, we wouldn’t go anywhere else! This wonderful hotel is just a quick 10-minute drive from the airport, making our arrival so convenient. Nestled in the vibrant area of Playa d'en Bossa, it boasts stunning views right on the beach.||The hotel itself is immaculate. Rooms are spacious with comfortable beds that ensure we get a good night's sleep, very important in Ibiza! The large, modern bathrooms are perfect for getting ready for our evenings out, and it's clear why the Garbi proudly holds its 4-star rating!||What I love most is that it feels like a little oasis. The pool area is wonderfully relaxing, and there’s a fantastic restaurant right on the beach where they servec a delicious selection of food and cocktails. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun!||One of the best perks of staying here is how close you are to some of the best bars and nightclubs. It’s such a big advantage to be able to stroll to some amazing nightlife without the hassle of queueing for taxis. ||The staff at the Garbi truly make the experience unforgettable. They are incredibly friendly and always go above and beyond to help us. After six wonderful years of staying I want to give a special shout-out to Richard, the manager, who is an absolute gem! He embodies what hospitality is all about—always engaging with guests and making sure everyone feels welcome and taken care of. Our visits wouldn’t be the same without his warmth and dedication, and I’m so grateful to now call him a friend!||In short, the Garbi is more than just a hotel for us; it’s a home away from home where we have created some of our most cherished memories year after year. We can’t wait to return in 2026!
Racist hotel stuff.|Dirty room.|We turned up at a room full of sand. dirty stain towels, The bathroom had mud on the floor.| We are black British .| Me and my 15 year old son We decide to go and get drinks at the bar that is inside of the hotel by the pool . The bar was completely empty. The bar man was a man in his late fifties with a dark rat tail haircut.we asked for drinks and He completely ignored us . We thought he could not hear us so I got closer to him and He decided to take a cloth and start drying the counter. soon a white couple turn up and he helped them immediately.when they left he continued drying the counter.I got really annoyed and I try to speak to him but he pretended he could not speak English. I asked to see the manager . As soon as the bar manager turn up .the bar man started to speak English meaning all along he could understand English but pretended he did not speak English. The bar manager he too was a racist .he just told us that he can’t help us because they have never had this kind of complaint about their bar man before. So we were not helped and not served drink at all at the hotel bar . We had to go to a different bar.|If you are not white be aware that the treatment you will get from restaurant and bar staff in this hotel is very disrespectful.see pictures on me and my son
