Ocean Drive sits on Port Deportivo Marina Botafoch, the yacht marina on the east side of Ibiza Town harbour, with views back across the water to Dalt Vila. The Art Deco styling, a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, a cafe, two bars and a rooftop terrace make it a social base, and the hotel is listed among those open through the winter. Rooms come in five types in a four-floor building. It is not a beach hotel, and no pool is listed, but Talamanca Beach is close and the old town is reachable on foot. A buffet breakfast is available for an extra charge, around twenty euros per person according to the hotel's details, and free self parking is a useful perk if you plan to hire a car.
Location and getting around
The marina is about a one-minute walk from the hotel, and the port of Ibiza and Dalt Vila are each roughly eighteen to nineteen minutes on foot, a pleasant stroll along the harbour that is easy in winter weather. Taxis are the practical choice late at night, and the airport is a short drive away. If you want to be inside the walls, the hotels on Vara de Rey are closer, but Ocean Drive's quieter marina setting has its own charm.
Rooms and facilities
Expect modern rooms in a design-led building, with a terrace and cafe to relax in. The on-site restaurant serves meals through the day, and the two bars and the rooftop terrace are the social centre in the warmer months. There is no pool, so look elsewhere if you want one. Children are welcome and the hotel describes itself as family friendly, which is not true of every Ibiza design hotel.
Who it suits
Couples, small groups and families who want a lively marina base with easy parking will like it. The rooftop terrace is best in good weather, so check what is open on your dates, and ask about the breakfast rate, because the buffet is not usually included. Winter rates tend to be lower than the summer peak, and the quieter marina is a good starting point for sunset walks towards the old town.
