This four-pearl hotel located on a quiet hill in Talamanca was rebuilt from the ground up, and opened its doors in May 2017 showcasing superb design and attention to detail. The 117 guest rooms are large and modern, with super-cold AC, free minibars, and balconies. Extra perks for higher category units include free Smart cars and airport transfers, plus private kitchens and rooftop pools. While this isn't a resort property, there are three chic pools, a trellised outdoor terrace, sleek lobby bar, rotating weekly events, and a small but high-tech gym. Freebies include Wi-Fi throughout, a great breakfast buffet, and valet parking. There's nothing quite like OD Talamanca in the area, but if it's booked up, check rates at the El Hotel Pacha.

The 33-room mid-range Hotel Luz Isla is a good value, ideal for anyone looking for a no-fuss, quiet spot with contemporary rooms and walking proximity to the waterfront. It's one of the older hotels in the area, but thanks to frequent updates, rooms are up-to-date and attractive. Rooms have flat-screen TVs, hairdryers, and AC, plus balconies in most. This property sees a ton of repeat guests that are known on a first-name basis, speaking to the high level of hospitality. Outside of a small TV lounge, public spaces consist of a breakfast room serving free buffets and an attached corner cafe with bar and terrace seating. The lack of a pool is a downside for families with young kids (try the nearby Sinbad Hotel for a pool). Wi-FI is free, while parking is available for a fee.

Hotel Ses Figueres is a mid-range, dated property located across from the Talamanca marina. There's no denying that the 39 guest rooms here are basic and old-fashioned, though they are reliably clean and in good shape. Flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, AC, and mini-fridges come standard, and some rooms have balconies with pleasant water views. The on-site restaurant and bar serves simple fair at good prices and offers great views of the marina. There's also a concrete sundeck with free loungers on the marina. Free Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, and a small lounge with books and a TV complete features. It's worth noting that finding street parking can be a pain in high season. For a simple but free breakfast buffet, as well as parking and modern rooms, it's worth comparing rates at the nearby Hotel Lux Isla, though you'll lose the waterfront location.

The three-and-a-half-pearl OD Ocean Drive is a boutique property that is thin on public space but heavy on the details. Designed to reflect the Art-Deco style of Miami's South Beach and 1920s Manhattan, this compact property is full of great style inside and out. The 40 handsome rooms run on the small side, but come with free minibar items, bathrobes, rainfall showers, and fresh fruit, plus most have balconies with pleasant views. Suites pack a punch with extras like a free smart car and airport pickup. In summer, the hotel hosts frequent parties an the rooftop Sky Bar and serves breakfast until late, while winter sees a calmer crowd. Expect free Wi-Fi, gorgeous marina-facing views, and access to the pools at the adult-only OD Talamanca up the street. Unfortunately, limited parking and noisy hallways are also present.

The 111-room Simbad Hotel is a three-pearl property set on the waterfront overlooking the north end of Ibiza's Talamanca Bay. The surrounding area is generally quiet and relaxed -- a far cry from the bustle of Ibiza Town a 10-minute drive away. Public spaces are mostly modern, though rooms -- with blue patterned bedspreads and matching curtains -- remain on the dated side. Nonetheless, it's all about the sea views here, and half of the rooms, the restaurant, and the outdoor pool all overlook the water. Those preferring to be a little closer to town and with direct beach access should take a look at Hotel Argos on the south side of the bay.

Hotel Argos is a 106-room, upper-middle-range property set overlooking a sandy beach on the western end of Talamanca Bay. While the immediate area is relatively serene, it's just a short stroll to plenty of bars and restaurants, as well as the buzzing party area. Renovations in 2016 gave the rooms a contemporary, white-filled design, plus they all have furnished balconies -- the majority featuring sea views. A choice of indoor and outdoor pools are welcome amenities, as is direct beach access -- though expect some seaweed. All in all, it's a good balance of setting and facilities, although to be closer to the action travelers might want to consider Sirenis Hotel Club Tres Carabelas & Spa.
