Hotel Puchet is a straightforward, good-value base in Sant Antoni de Portmany, the west-coast town that faces the sunset. It has 212 rooms, a free breakfast buffet, a gym, a seasonal outdoor pool and children's pool with a poolside bar, and a restaurant called Trigo Trago serving lunch and dinner. The address is Avenida Doctor Fleming 51, and S'Arenal beach is about a nine-minute walk, while the marina is a short drive away and the Poniente promenade is about two kilometres off. Self parking is available for a modest nightly fee with limited spaces, and an airport shuttle runs on request for a per-vehicle charge. The hotel was listed among those open through the winter, so expect simple, practical rooms rather than luxury.
Why Sant Antoni
The town is the best base for the west coast. The Es Vedrà catamaran cruise leaves from its promenade in season, Cala Bassa and Cala Comte are a short drive away, and the bay is the place for sunset. In November the town is calm, with many bars closed, but the main restaurants and shops along the promenade stay open and rooms are at their cheapest.
Rooms and facilities
With over two hundred rooms, this is a bigger property than most in the guide, so it can be busy at breakfast in school holidays. The breakfast buffet is free, which helps the budget, and the gym and restaurant are useful extras. The pool is seasonal, so do not count on it in winter. Free Wi-Fi covers the public areas rather than every room, so check if you need a reliable connection.
Who it suits
Budget travellers, families and groups who want a simple base for exploring by car, taxi or bus will find the value here. If you want a design hotel or an old-town setting, stay in Ibiza Town instead. Parking spaces are limited, so ask when you book, and arrange the airport shuttle in advance if you need it. The walk to the sunset strip is a bit long for tired legs, so a short taxi ride is a sensible option at the end of the day.
