Hacienda Na Xamena is one of Ibiza’s most luxurious hotels, and is known among locals and visitors alike for its beautiful cascading spa pools offering stunning views. Its 77 large, bright rooms with standalone jetted tubs and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean make it a popular pick among couples celebrating special occasions. But its three pools, three restaurants, small fitness center, and two boats for private day trips draw guests of all kinds and ages. The hotel's remote location atop a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean guarantees peace and quiet -- but guests may want to rent a car to move around as beaches, restaurants, and attractions are all at least a 10-minute drive away.

The San Miguel Park & Esmeralda Mar Apartments is a budget-friendly apartment complex located in the picturesque and peaceful San Miguel Bay. All 84 units have simple kitchenettes plus terraces or balconies, and those on higher floors have lovely sea views (though lots of steps to get there). Unfortunately, the style is almost entirely dated. San Miguel's lovely sandy beach is a five-minute walk away, and there are two pools on-site plus poolside activities. Buffet dining is mediocre and the hotel's restaurants get busy, which is a bummer as there's not many alternatives nearby. Still, this is a fine option for those wanting a simple apartment-hotel with an all-inclusive option, but travelers in search of better views and more facilities for kids may want to consider the Cartago Hotel instead.

The 196-room Cartago Hotel is a mid-range, family-friendly resort hotel with a decent all-inclusive plan and a dated feel. What really makes it stand out is its setting -- perched on a cliff overlooking the picturesque San Miguel Bay, and all the rooms have lovely sea or valley views. Food and drink are also good quality for this level of property, and there's plenty for the kids to do (though adults might find the lack of sufficient poolside lounge chairs annoying). There's also a lovely sandy beach accessible via a glass elevator, which also connects to shared facilities at the sister property Hotel Club San Miguel. It offers a reasonably priced getaway, but those who prefer self-catering facilities may want to consider the San Miguel Park & Esmeralda Mar Apartments.
