ME Ibiza

As loyal guests who have stayed at over 15 properties within The Leading Hotels of the World portfolio, we know exactly what standard of luxury and service to expect. In our opinion, this hotel does not deserve to be classified as an LHW property. Our family holiday here was a bitter disappointment. We booked a "Beyond ME+ Junior Suite with Sea View." To call it a sea view is quite a stretch; unless you bring a telescope, you will struggle to see the water. Furthermore, the room itself was poorly maintained, featuring a carpet that was visibly threadbare. It is highly misleading marketing for a premium suite category. The atmosphere around the property was far from relaxing. Music was played around the pool extremely loudly, continuing non-stop all afternoon with no regard for guests seeking tranquility. To make matters worse, the hotel enforces a policy where staff remove towels from sun loungers if you step away for longer than 30 minutes, making it incredibly stressful just to grab a light lunch or use the restroom. The final straw regarding the lack of housekeeping standards was in the reception area. There are three swing chairs; the one we sat in had chewing gum stuck to it. Shockingly, this chewing gum was still there three days later, proving a complete lack of basic attention to cleanliness and detail. We have attached images of our concerns to this review to clearly demonstrate the lack of standard. This hotel completely fails to deliver the luxury, peace, and service that LHW stands for.

Wow! What can I say about this hotel?? My wife and I chose to spend our 20th anniversary here and I am so glad we did. As soon as you arrive you see how this hotel has the “IT” factor. Walking through the doors and seeing through the open plan are directly to the main pool you instantly know this is a special place. The views from the roof will take your breath away. From check in they make you feel so special and you can see the staff have been trained so well in how to keep the guests happy. We stayed 5 nights and were so happy with the views from our room, waking up to blue sky’s and a bright blue sea everyday with floor to ceiling windows. Food was excellent, from the buffet breakfast to the fine dining options in the evening…excellent. Special mention to Rafa, who was so attentive by the pool, Miriam who hosted at Origens and actually all the staff because they were superb! Great hotel, great staff and I highly recommend

Very well settled hotel. Very good breakfast. Helpful staff… and that’s it all. Being LHW member, and even the Nikki Beach and Thai Spa like neighbors can’t improve your disappointments from the small and cheap furnished rooms. They can’t provide you even with a king size bed. Maybe they predict that all the guest of the hotel will be about 5 ft tall and very slim. Also, half of the rooms don’t have terrace. As a LHW club member who reserved 3 rooms I’ve asked for an upgrade, they replied - we are full, but it’s visible (also from their website) that the hotel is not more than half occupied. I understand that €900+ per night is a normal price for the high season in Ibiza, but it much overpriced for the offered accommodation. They provide a double sun beds on the pools for a minimal spent of €100, or €150 (roof top) but they are always empty. I’m wondering why they don’t cut their price half and sells them out. I’m also wondering how this hotel is a LHW member, because nothing extraordinary can be found here.

Paid through the nose, but a great, great hotel. Killer views. Killer rooms. Staff is impecable. Food is good. Pool(s) were great. Beach access is nice (not the nicest, but still access). Nikki Beach access is a nice. Design is on-point (albeit some construction is shoddy and it shows… probably a bigger issue in a few years when it really starts to show). Overall highly recommend if you can afford it. I honestly don’t think the value totally matches what you get, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a great hotel.

My first impression wasn’t perfect. When I checked in, I was initially surprised by the size of the room, as it felt smaller than I had expected. Fortunately, everything else about my stay more than made up for it. The hotel has two beautiful pools, each with its own atmosphere. The rooftop pool offers incredible panoramic views over the coastline and is a fantastic place to relax, while the main pool is equally beautiful and has excellent service. The staff consistently stood out throughout my stay. Whether I needed my umbrella adjusted, had a question, or requested something for my room, they were attentive, friendly, and genuinely eager to help. One small detail that impressed me was that although there isn’t an ice machine on every floor, whenever I called for a bucket of ice, it arrived almost immediately. Breakfast was another highlight. The selection was outstanding and far exceeded the typical hotel buffet. There was an impressive variety of high-quality options, including real champagne, not cava, and a Bloody Mary station featuring premium spirits such as Belvedere vodka rather than lower-end brands. There were also fresh pastries, local specialties, seafood options, and plenty beyond the standard bacon and eggs. It was one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had and reflected the level of quality I expect from a luxury hotel. I also treated myself to a massage at the spa, and it exceeded my expectations. The massage itself was excellent, and my therapist was fantastic. The spa facilities were beautiful and included a private relaxation pool as well as excellent shower and changing facilities, making it easy to enjoy the experience before or after treatment. As someone from New York City, I also found the spa pricing to be an exceptional value compared to what I would typically pay at home. Although I didn’t end up using the fitness center, I did take a look at it. It was spacious, well-equipped, and, most importantly in the middle of an Ibiza summer, properly air-conditioned. It’s clear the hotel puts thought into all of its amenities, not just the pools and spa. As a sports fan, I also appreciated that the hotel offered an excellent selection of international sports channels. Being able to watch Wimbledon during my stay was a great bonus, and I imagine soccer fans would appreciate having access to major tournaments like the World Cup as well. It’s a small detail, but one that makes a difference when you’re traveling and don’t want to miss a big sporting event. Another unexpected gesture that I truly appreciated was being offered a complimentary 3:00 PM late checkout at no additional charge. That extra time made my travel day significantly easier, and it was a thoughtful touch that reflected the hotel’s excellent hospitality. Overall, while the room size wasn’t quite what I expected, the exceptional service, beautiful facilities, outstanding breakfast, relaxing spa, well-maintained amenities, and generous hospitality made this a wonderful stay. I would absolutely return and would gladly recommend ME Ibiza to friends and family.
