Full of kids jumping into pools even at the over 16 pool. Way too busy and not enough sunbeds particularly when most families take more than they need reserving ones in the sun and the shade. All inclusive isn’t really what it seems. Limited drinks included. Snack bar luke warm leftovers. Entertainment not great and the staff clear up noisily around you at 1015pm! Pool towels impossible to get dry yet only exchanged every 3 days. No way is this a 4 star resort. High 2 low 3 I’d say. Walls in the rooms are paper thin, you can hear wverything, even someone next door using the toilet! Beds were very comfy though! I would avoid and spend more to go elsewhere. It was a disappointing stay.

Don’t really leave many reviews but I thought it was worth it.
The hotel was handy to get to from the airport which was great for kids.
Overall the hotel, pools, rooms overall hotel was very clean.
One thing was that the rooms were cleaned every day which was great but the beds were just remade. I understand to help the environment you don’t want to change the sheets every day but we were all badly bitten on the holiday and this could have helped. Fresh towels were left each day which was super.
Only found out half way through the trip you can get towels at the hotel after we paid quite a lot to bring over our own so this is a wee tip to save some money.
The hotel was mainly dominated by family’s from Holland. Fantastic people and really friendly. The reason I say this is that a few people
I got friendly with made me aware they paid easily half the amount we paid.
The hotel can order you a taxi and it’s about 10 euro into San Antonio.
Food was great drinks were proper coke and Fanta etc and was lovely. Alcohol was the cheap alternative to Smirnoff etc and this was promoted anywhere.
Staff were class though can complain really friendly and helpful 1st class.
Overall I would say with a family there won’t be many better places to stay than this hotel on the island.
Thank you Stella for a great experience.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner was great, something for everyone, maybe too much fish. Service was perfect and it was always clean around the pool, they collected empty plastic glas all the time. They have boogie service for those who dont want/cant walk to the rooms on the higher level. They have 5 nice pools and lots of sunchairs. I recommend all inclusive becaurse beer, wine and drinks for adults and ice cream, slush for kids was included from morning until late evening. We had a family room with sea view and the view was amazing. There was no shuttle to the beach or town. Even if its only 450 meters to the beach its a long walk for family with small kids cause of the hills and heat. Nice entertaining during nights such as acrobatic, bingo, music...the room was clean, big balcony, the beds was comfortable. We had free towels for the pool. I should recomend the hotel to upgrade the kids corner and the pingis table. Also use more electrical vehicle for the boogie service.

Really loved staying here. Came here for a friends birthday. Definitely more of a family hotel but we enjoyed coming back to a chill all inclusive hotel after a busy day in the vibrant Ibiza towns. Would definitely visit again.

We loved this hotel & don't want to share the secret of how good it is because we'd like to keep it to ourselves.
We adore older properties because that gives them a relaxed feeling & one isn't worried about accidentally scratching a posh polished table and being charged a million. Anyway, North Ibiza is famous for hippiness & is now 'hippi-chique' & all of Ibiza, such as San Antonio, has 'rustic-chique', such things as we found in niches of San Antonio: beautiful 'rustic' elements, including whole honey comb for breakfast, old doors made into chair backs, knarled olive trees gracing poolsides, that's the beautiful Ibiza vibe.
If you want relaxed & 'rustic-chique' Ibiza's for you, if you want gold taps & polished everything, then maybe find a friend with a super yacht? They have those on Ibiza too. We adore the Ibiza 'rustic-chique' island vibe. The hum of cicadas (crickets) is the music we prefer!
This hotel was in a pine wood full of buzzing cicadas, so perfectly Ibiza-lovely for us.
Families seem to have discovered that Stella Maris is a paradise for kids, the beautiful pools were crammed with kids chortling with joy and splashing about. Almost no teens during our stay, but it suited our 15 year old fine: we loved the pools despite them being busy, there was plenty of space around them, and we played table pool in the games room. Plus, it was a short steep walk down a side road to a sea cove.
Who needs a beachside hotel when you have pine woods and cicads?

Pros:
1) Rooms for families with bunk beds are cute and comfortable.
2) breakfast buffet was plentiful
Cons:
Property is on a hill. They have a golf like cart or a small vehicle that is supposed to operate regularly to take guests to their respective buildings. After waiting with children in the heat for almost 30 minutes, the driver of the car (with another employee sitting in the front seat) argues with us about how it’s impossible that we were waiting for close to 30 minutes instead of just apologizing! They only take 4 of us (two children, 2 adults) because the other employee is sitting in front taking space. One member of our party just walked it up. Owners: 1) invest in another cart, it’ll have people rebooking your property. 2) no need for friend in front passenger. 3) don’t argue with guests when they’re hot and have been waiting! Business basics!!
Asked front desk if they have a scale to weigh luggage. Their immediate answer was no. Fine. As we’re checking out, we find a $1 euro per luggage machine sitting right across from the front desk. Owners: 1) train the staff to know what amenities are available. 2) don’t charge the customers for something they already may be stressed about. 3) either get rid of the machines, get one that doesn’t charge or have some hand scales available.
Remember we may travel a lot and you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Go to the highly rated, more expensive options and imitate how they make the guest feel.

Great hotel, first time there.
Laid out like a small village with many rooms in independent blocks of 6 units. Our rooms were spacious and modern - we upgraded to seaview.
Bought an all-inclusive package. Buffet restaurant good although worth avoiding busiest times. Food Court snack bar great for kids / teens snacks or simple meals. Also one pay-as-you-go diner, but never tried it.
Several bars including one at each pool. Good service, drinks quality good enough for an all-inclusive resort. Overall, food and drink good but not gourmet.
We were there with 16 & 17 year olds, just for a short chill out weekend. Probably great for families with younger kids - decent Kids’ Club on the go etc.
Top tip - resort is built across a hillside. Means some great views but also inclines to cope with and some rooms a fair way from the main hotel facilities. We like it like that way but others may not. Neat little in-resort shuttle cart does circuits to offer lifts anyone who wishes. Especially useful with your luggage 👍
10 mins walk down to lovely beach, Cala Gracio, and just a further 10 mins to sea front bars & restaurants. Go 10 mins further along the excellent shore walkway to the legendary Cafe Del Mar. Plus Cafe Mambo and Mint Lounge.
