Hotel Tahiti — Hotel in Formentera

I agree with most of the excellent reviews for this hotel.|We booked our holiday through TUI- the short transfer from Ibiza airport to the port (15 mins), the ferry to Formentera (30 mins) and the transfer from Formentera port to hotel(10mins) all worked seamlessly both ways. The ferry tickets and general information were given to us by TUI at the airport.|Best bits regarding Hotel Tahiti- location. Right on the beautiful Es Pujols beach with perfect white sand and azure crystal clear water. Safe swimming for all ages. Easy access on footpath 19 up to the equally beautiful beaches of de Illetes and de Llevant. Es Pujols has enough bars,restaurants and shops for all tastes. In the evening we generally spent between Euro 70-110 for 2 main courses and a bottle of wine ( no starter or pudding). Lots of the restaurants were Italian as most of the people on holiday here are Italians. We liked the restaurant next to the Hotel Roca Bella at the far end of the beach as it was right on the beach, the food was Spanish, good and authentic, and a bottle of decent wine around Euro 20. We tried Bocasalina next to Hotel Tahiti just once, but we found it pretentious and very overpriced for the quality of the food. The cheapest bottle of wine here was Euro 50.|The hotel swimming pool is great - there's a walkway from here down to the beach which is convenient. We always found plenty of spare loungers around the pool at any time of the day. Lots of beach towels. Pool bar service was good.|Our standard 2nd floor room was compact, as was the wardrobe space. The sea view from the balcony was fantastic. We didn't hear any noise from neighbours. The bed was comfy- not too hard and not too soft. Everything worked well in the bathroom.|All staff are excellent and go out of their way to be kind and helpful. The hotel is very lucky to have such staff. |It was our wedding anniversary and staff brought us a bottle of cava, a cake and card- unexpected and received with thanks!|There's a lovely elevated terrace with comfy chairs overlooking the beach -grab a delicious sangria from the bar and enjoy the view and atmosphere!|I've taken one star off for a very specific reason which the hotel needs to address. |The quality of the breakfast was fantastic as was the service- everything you could want, however the big problem is where you have to eat it- in an air conditionned canteen which is cramped , sometimes noisy , and unpleasant apart from a front conservatory where the tables were generally occupied. Everyone just wanted to be eating their breakfast outside, and there is plenty of room to accommodate this if the garden furniture outside was replaced with dining tables and chairs . It just needs a little imagination and conviction by management to achieve this. |Otherwise,...

We come very often to Formentera but this was the first time we spent two nights at this hotel. The front desk staff is very friendly. But the equipment does not comply since we spent more than 30 minutes stuck in the elevator in the middle of the night and it is the night watchman who, after having switched on the alarm, jumped us more than 1.2m. high from the elevator without a word. The manager of the hotel did not apologize and in addition lied to us about the cause of the failure by claiming a general power supply which was not true. and the next morning there is a water break which deprived us of shower and toilet most of the morning and always no excuse of the director who allowed himself to enter our room without a hello to verify that our complaint made at the front desk was not exaggerated.

So hotel to escape absolutely especially that there is so much better and cheaper on this beautiful island. and I do not tell you about the bad smells in the room as well as the bad sound insulation or the sea view which actually gives on poorly maintained terrace roofs

Nous venons très souvent à Formentera mais c'était la première fois que passions deux nuits dans cet hotel. Le personnel à l'accueil est très sympatique. Mais l'équipement n'est pas conforme puisque nous avons passé plus de 30 minutes bloqué dans l'ascenseur en pleine nuit et c'est le veilleur de nuit qui du après avoir enclanché l'alamre nous a fait sauté de plus 1.2m de haut depuis l'ascenseur sans un mot. Le directeur de l'hotel ne s'est pas excuser et en plus nous a menti sur la cause de la panne en prétextant un epanne de courant générale ce qui n'était pas vrai. et le lendemain matin il y a une coupure d'eau ce qui nous a privé de douche et de toilette presque toute la matinée et toujours aucune excuse du directeur qui s'est permi de pénétré dans notre chambre sans un boujour pour verifier que notre plainte faite à l'accueil n'était pas exagéré.

Donc hotel à fuir absolument surtout qu'iul y en a de telement mieux et moins cher sur cette superbe ile. et je ne vous parle pas des mauvaises odeurs dans la chambre ainsi que de la mauvaise isolation phonique ni de la vue sur mer qui donne en fait sur des toitures terrasse...

This hotel is the PERFECT Formentera home. Right on a stunning STUNNING beach, huge pool, a short walk to town, easy access to the free bus, and without doubt the best service I’ve had at a hotel in years. The staff really make this place come alive - they are all routinely warm, helpful and caring. From the second you arrive your luggage is whisked away, to the second you leave after they open up the breakfast room early just to accomodate your early flight.

This hotel was refurbed 10 years ago and they did a spectacular job. The rooms are comfortable and spotlessly clean (and cleaned everyday spotlessly again!), the breakfast ample, free non alcoholic mini bar, huge bathroom and the beds comfortable.

The negatives? All minor. The hotel doesn’t have room service, but you can get food/drinks from the restaurant in the common areas. The mini bar js free but I confused the cleaners by asking for more water, so perhaps an option to buy more than the two free bottles provided. The rooms do have some noise bleed but it’s not like it’s a party town, so you’re hearing footsteps not music.

The clientele is perhaps 50% families, 50% couples/singles. Mainly Italian tourists interestingly so it was so nice not to hear English much! We were LGBTQIA travellers and felt completely welcome.

Sea view room absolutely worth it. Facing the pool side may be slightly quieter at night as there is shrubbery there instead of the bar area. It’s pretty quiet everywhere though.

I’ve been to Mykonos, Sardinia, Malta and none of them compared to the ease of Formentera where you can literally stay ON the postcard beach, but still be in town and still have a gorgeous hotel with a pool.

Stay at least a week - 3 nights was not enough!

We paid EUR1227.

Ps did I mention the service?! When we checked out we found chilled water bottles waiting with our luggage. This is old school service on a beautiful, caring level. All the staff should...
