With higher-end hotels becoming more common in Playa d'en Bossa, the two-and-a-half-pearl Hotel Club Can Bossa provides a more affordable option for travelers who don't need much style or substance. The quiet location is a definite plus for most guests, yet it's still within a 10-minute walk of the beach. The outdoor pool is a fine place to recharge for the night ahead, and the poolside restaurant serves food all day. The 157 rooms are basic, but include air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi, and balconies come as standard. Travelers looking to be more centrally located could check out Apartmentos Sal Rossa, right on the beach -- though rates are slightly higher, and the area does get noisy in high season.
Scene
Modest hotel with simple style and a laid-back atmosphere
Hotel Club Can Bossa is a modest hotel in a quiet spot away from the area's buzzy nightlife scene. It's a decent alternative to the many swanky (and expensive) beachfront hotels, and is popular with groups of friends -- especially during the summer high season. The style here is simple, and there's plenty of seating both inside and out. This isn't a party hotel by any means, and chilled-out tunes play around the pleasant pool as guests refuel with pizza and panini at the adjoining restaurant.
Location
Quiet part of Playa d'en Bossa, a 10-minute walk to the beach
Travelers looking for a quiet alternative near the action are in luck, as this hotel is located in the center of Playa d'en Bossa, but removed from the boisterous party scene. The neighborhood is residential, and the hotel is surrounded by other hotels and apartments. However, shopping and dining on Pere Matutes are within a five-minute walk. The beach is 10 minutes away on foot, and it's about a 15-minute walk along to the main clubs and bars. Aguamar water park is also about a 15 minute walk from the hotel, or a five-minute cab ride. It's a five-minute drive to the airport, and just 15 minutes by car to Ibiza Town.
Rooms
Simple and functional, with air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and balconies
Rooms have a simple, functional style, and get the job done for travelers who only really want a place to crash at night. Expect pops of blue and yellow, and country-style wooden furniture. All feature balconies, flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, safes (fee), and wardrobes. Extra beds are available -- ideal for small families or groups -- while the two-room Suites offer more space. Top floor Suites also have fantastic views over the town from dual-aspect balconies. They add mini-fridges as well. Bathrooms are disappointing, and are in need of an overhaul. They're dark and a bit dingy, with shower/tub combos, hairdryers, towels, and basic toiletries.
Features
Outdoor pool and volleyball court, a poolside restaurant, plus games and library in the lobby
This hotel has a decent set of features for a budget property. The outdoor pool is small, but there's a separate kids' pool, plus a volleyball court, and the area is nicely landscaped with lots of greenery. A poolside restaurant serves a range of light meals, like pizza and sandwiches, and a buffet breakfast is available for a fee. All-inclusive options are available. You'll find a pool table, table tennis, a library of books, and two computer stations in the lobby. There are also vending machines, safety deposit boxes, and a ticket machine for local attractions. The front desk is manned 24 hours a day and offers luggage storage. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel.
