Montesol Experimental Ibiza
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want a 5-star base on Paseo Vara de Rey, steps from the cathedral, Old Town and marina, and the price does not put you off. If you mainly want beaches or a higher score for less, our Best Value pick is the smarter buy.

This is our Luxury pick in Ibiza. It suits couples and city-break travellers who want to walk out of the door into the Old Town, the marina and pedestrian streets full of restaurants. The property lists a restaurant, a terrace, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning, and the listing is tagged as pet-friendly.
Skip it if you came for the beaches. The nearest beach in our data is about 44 minutes on foot, so a beach-focused trip is better served elsewhere. It is also not for anyone counting euros, as it costs well above the median.
Location and getting around
The address is Paseo Vara de Rey, 2, in Ibiza City Centre. Guests rate the location 9.8 out of 10, the strongest point in its data.
Ibiza Cathedral is about 0.4 km away, roughly 5 minutes on foot by straight-line estimate. Guests also mention the Old Town, the marina and pedestrian streets nearby.
Beaches are another matter. Platja S'Estanyol is about 3.5 km away, roughly 44 minutes on foot, and Cala Llonga about 8.7 km, roughly 109 minutes. Both are far, so plan on public transport or a taxi.
What guests say
The hotel scores 8.9 out of 10 from 591 reviews, joint third of 9 eligible properties in our sample.
Location tops the praise, followed by the staff. Guests describe a friendly, attentive team that gives helpful service and a warm welcome.
Breakfast draws the main criticism. Guests say the dishes, served à la carte on the terrace, are tasty, but some find the menu limited and the service slow.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, were about €204.51 per night. The sample median was €126.74. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Hotel Vibra Vila -3SUP- New Opening 2026, scored 8.1 at about €84.05 per night. Our Best Value pick, Sud Ibiza Suites, scored 9.3 at about €126.74 per night.
Sud Ibiza Suites rated higher and cost about €78 less per night on those dates. Montesol's case rests on its 5-star status and its central position. If you plan to spend your evenings in the Old Town and want to walk home, that position has real value.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 hotels in Ibiza. The Luxury slot goes to a five-star hotel first, and a four-star can only step in with a score of at least 8.5.
Montesol is an official 5-star hotel with an 8.9 score and a 9.8 location score. That combination of category, guest rating and central address earned the place.
Before you book
Breakfast details conflict. The listing mentions a buffet with continental, full English or Irish, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, while guests describe à la carte service on the terrace. Ask the hotel how breakfast works on your dates and whether it is in your rate.
Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed. A central address can mean street noise, so ask about room position if you sleep lightly. Pet fees and terrace opening times are not confirmed either.
