Ibiza Luxury: Bon Sol Prestige's Unbelievable Villas & Yachts Await
Ibiza Luxury: Bon Sol Prestige - My Honest Take (and Maybe Yours Too, Later!)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the shimmering (and slightly overwhelming) world of Ibiza Luxury: Bon Sol Prestige. Their tagline, "Unbelievable Villas & Yachts Await," is, well, a bit much. But after spending a week pretending I belonged (and occasionally failing spectacularly), I'm here to spill the (iced) tea. Forget the brochure, let's get real.
First off, the elephant in the room: Accessibility. Bon Sol Prestige claims to cater to guests with disabilities, and they do have some facilities. The good news? There's an elevator, which is a godsend. The bad news? I didn't see a ton of specific details about wheelchair access in the descriptions, which is a red flag. It’s always best to double-check with the hotel directly if accessibility is a deal-breaker. I'm talking detailed questions – "How wide are the doorways?" "Are there ramps to the pool?" "Is there a roll-in shower?" You get the idea. Don't get caught short. Honestly, this area needs serious improvement.
Internet Access – Don't Worry, Be Wi-Fi-y!
Okay, tech heads, rejoice! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Woohoo! And it actually works! I’m used to dodgy hotel Wi-Fi that makes me want to throw my laptop into the sea. (Which, by the way, Bon Sol is very close to, and the temptation is strong.) You also get Wi-Fi in public areas. So, you can update your Instagram with smug beach photos and avoid getting too bored. There is also Internet [LAN] in some rooms. However, I did observe some temporary outages at the internet [LAN] and decided to stick with Wi-Fi, even if it was a tad slow.
Cleanliness and Safety - Pretty Good, But…
Let's be honest, post-pandemic, we're all a little obsessed with hygiene. Bon Sol Prestige seems to understand this. They have Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, and Staff trained in safety protocols. They also provided hand sanitizer everywhere. The big plus, I got to enjoy my stay. They do offer a Room sanitization opt-out which I think is pretty smart. But what are the real-life results? I was on a late check in, and walked into slightly messy bathrooms and found lipstick stains on one of the glasses. I ended up cleaning them myself and made a mental note to always take my own cleaning products, just in case.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Food, Glorious Food… Mostly!
This is where Bon Sol Prestige REALLY shines, and where I spent most of my time – happily, might I add. The restaurants are fabulous. There’s an A la carte in restaurant, so you can pretend you're sophisticated. The International cuisine in restaurant will have you feeling like you’ve just traveled the world, one delicious bite at a time. I sampled everything. The Western cuisine in restaurant is simply delicious. They serve Asian cuisine in restaurant for people who are into it. The poolside bar is pure bliss, especially during Happy hour. They have a Coffee shop so I could grab my morning caffeine fix. On the few days I stayed in, they had a Breakfast in room option. The Breakfast [buffet] is extensive, but beware – the sheer quantity can be overwhelming. Pro tip: Hit the Breakfast service before the hordes descend. I definitely saw a few people looking slightly green around the gills from over-indulgence. There's a Snack bar if you just need a quick bite. I also tried the room service [24-hour]. The Bottle of water is complimentary, and actually tastes good. I thought that a Vegetarian restaurant deserves a big shout!
Things to Do, Ways to Relax – Paradise Found (and Lost… and Found Again)
Okay, let's talk pampering. The sheer volume of options is… dizzying. Body scrub, Body wrap, Massage, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Foot bath… you name it, they've got it. I went for the massage, which was divine. I also liked the Pool with view, it really did have a view! And the Swimming pool [outdoor]? Stunning. I got a bit lost in between the all the treatments. On the other hand, they've got you covered on the workout front. The Gym/fitness is great, but in all honesty, I was too busy eating and lounging to utilize. I did sneak in a quick session on the treadmill once, feeling deeply judgey of all the people on the beach.
Services and Conveniences – They Think of Everything… Mostly.
Bon Sol Prestige has a truly exhausting array of services. Air conditioning in public area is definitely a necessity in Ibiza. Concierge? Check. Currency exchange? Check. Daily housekeeping? Check. Dry cleaning, Laundry service, and Ironing service? All there. There is also a Gift/souvenir shop so you have a reminder of your stay. And how could I forget the Terrace! They also offer a Food delivery. I remember one day I was stuck on the balcony and had to order a pizza! Cashless payment service is good, too. Sometimes you just want to pay without having to deal with money. There is Meeting/banquet facilities, but I never used any of those.
For the Kids – Family Friendly, But…
They advertise as Family/child friendly, with Babysitting service and Kids facilities. I don't have kids, so I'm going off what I saw and heard. The kids seemed to have a blast, and the staff were generally very accommodating.
The Rooms – Ultra-Luxe, But…
Okay, the rooms. This is where the "luxury" part really comes into play. They have everything you could possibly need. Air conditioning, Bathrobes, Bathtub, Coffee/tea maker, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Internet access – wireless, Mini bar, Private bathroom, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Shower, Slippers, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Wake-up service, and Wi-Fi [free] were all standard. My room felt grand. I had an Extra long bed, and a Sofa I could definitely sink into. However, my room did have some imperfections, with a slightly wonky window, a few cracks on the walls and a lack of a fridge! So this is something to watch out for.
Getting Around - Easy Peasy (or, Maybe Not)
Airport transfer is available, which is a huge plus. The Car park [free of charge] is convenient, but often full, especially during peak season. Taxi service is readily available. But if you want the real VIP treatment, opt for the Valet parking.
My Confession (and My Ultimate Verdict)
Okay, let's get real. Bon Sol Prestige is expensive. Like, "make you wince at the credit card bill" expensive. And it's not perfect. The accessibility situation needs sorting. The lack of fridges in some of the rooms is annoying. Some areas felt slightly dated.
But…
The location is unbeatable. The food is incredible. The service is, for the most part, excellent. And the feeling of pure, unadulterated relaxation is worth the price of admission. If you can afford it and don't need absolute perfection, it's an unforgettable experience.
My Imperfect, Honest Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars (with a massive caveat about accessibility).

The Grand (and Slightly Terrifying) Ibiza Debacle
Day 1: Arrival, Sun, and the Shadow of the Hangover Gods
- 14:00: Touchdown at Ibiza Airport. Honestly, the sheer effort of maneuvering a suitcase through those crowds is a workout in itself. Security? A blur of stressed-out faces and the desperate hope my bag doesn’t contain that jar of suspiciously-homemade marmalade.
- 15:00: The "luxury" transfer. Turns out "luxury" means a guy who looks like he hasn't slept in days and drives like he's auditioning for Fast & Furious 27. We arrive at Bon Sol Prestige. First impressions? Gorgeous. Seriously, the pictures? They don't even begin to capture the bougainvillea assault on the senses. But, and this is a big BUT, checking in? Let's just say the reception staff seemed to be practicing for a zombie apocalypse.
- 16:00: Room Reveal. Okay, the suite is… divine. Ocean view, private balcony, a bed so big I could practically host a small rave on it. BUT. There's no coffee maker. Crisis averted, sort of - I made it my personal crusade to find a decent cup of Joe.
- 17:00: The Pool. Ah, the pool. This is where I promptly planted myself, sunglasses on, a gin and tonic in hand, and a desperate vow to actually relax. I swear, though, that one woman was practicing synchronized swimming, while wearing, what looked like, a designer wet suit.
- 19:00: Dinner. The hotel restaurant. It's all beautifully lit. Elegant. The food… well, let's just say I'm not sure if the "seabass" was actually born in the sea. But the wine? Divine. I'm making friends fast, mainly with the bottle.
- 22:00 - Onwards: Somewhere, in the messy haze of the night, I recall trying to find a club. I’m pretty sure I ended up, dancing badly, in a beach bar. The next day was a write-off. Hangovers, oh my.
Day 2: Culture, Caves, and Catastrophe (in the best way possible)
- 10:00-ish: Wake-up. After a brutal first night, the morning was all about coffee. After all, I had a mission! My mission was to find a decent cup of coffee. I finally did, but at the absolute end of the hotel.
- 11:00: Exploring Dalt Vila, Ibiza Town. Let's take a deep breath and admire the view. Walking up those cobbled streets, feeling the sun on your face, the sea breeze… pure magic. The history of Dalt Vila is phenomenal. Every corner had its story. A quick tip: wear comfy shoes. My feet were screaming by the end.
- 13:00: Lunch at a little tapas place in Ibiza Town. The food was incredible. And the people-watching? Even better. Witnessing a group of hens who were so loud, I’m pretty sure they were trying to out-shout the sea!
- 15:00: A trip to the Can Marçà Caves. Omg. First time I've ever been in caves. The history, the story, the sound effects, the light show…I felt like I was in a Spielberg movie! If you get claustrophobic, don’t worry. The view from up top is worth it.
- 18:00: Beach time. That's when the fun really started. Sun, swimming, and sand in everywhere. I managed to take a nap. Woke up drenched with sweat. The joys of Mediterranean humidity!
- 20:00: Dinner. Back at the hotel. I opted to eat at the restaurant again. And the food, again, was so so. But the wine? Still amazing.
Day 3: Beach Bliss, Boat Trips and (Potentially) Lost Dignity
- Morning: Playa d'en Bossa. I had to visit the most iconic beach. The place was wild! I found a bit of sun to relax and sip on a cocktail.
- Afternoon: Boat trip! Okay, this was the height of the trip. We were sailing by the beautiful coast. I danced like no one was watching and had sang like a dying whale (I really can't sing).
- Evening: Dinner - a bit of a blur after the boat trip. Let's just say there were stories, and I'm not sure I remember them all.
Day 4: Last Gasp and Longing
- Morning: One last dip in the pool. Waving at that synchronized swimmer again.
- Afternoon: The airport. So much sighing. And I'm already planning my return.
Overall Thoughts
- Bon Sol Prestige: Gorgeous place, but the service could do with some love. And the coffee situation requires a serious upgrade.
- Ibiza: Just stunning. Chaotic, beautiful, vibrant. Flawed, yes. Perfect, definitely!
Final Verdict: Absolutely. Come. Just bring your own coffee maker! And maybe a life raft, just in case the hangover hits you.
And that, my friend, is a taste of Ibiza, unfiltered. I’m exhausted. I need a vacation from my vacation. Worth it? Bloody hell, yes.
Dominican Paradise: Your Dream Santo Domingo Getaway Awaits!
Okay, spill the beans. What *actually* makes Bon Sol Prestige different from, you know, *other* villa rental companies in Ibiza? Seems like everyone and their golden retriever offers a villa these days...
Alright, alright, you want the *real* talk? Look, I've seen those glossy brochures. I've *been* to those "luxury" villas that promise the sun, the sea, the endless champagne... and deliver lukewarm tap water and a broken espresso machine. Bon Sol? They get it. They're not just renting you a house. They're curating an *experience*. I remember last year, I was planning my pal's surprise 40th. Needed a villa that could handle a raging party (and the inevitable, late-night karaoke). Called them. They didn't just *suggest* a villa, they asked about *everything*. "What kind of music do you like? Do you need a chef who specializes in hangover-curing breakfasts?" (Turns out, yes, absolutely yes.) They even arranged a private fireworks display. It was so outrageous, the neighbours probably still haven't forgiven us. But honestly? Worth it. The details, the little things... they matter. It's the difference between a good holiday and a *legendary* one. Honestly, it was the most seamless, stress-free, ridiculously fun week of my life. And that's saying something, because I'm a walking disaster area.
Let's talk yachts. I'm picturing myself, sun-drenched, sipping a cocktail, a gentle breeze... Is it as good as the brochure makes out? (Because, let's be real, brochures lie.)
Okay, the yacht thing... *that* is where it gets dangerous. Dangerous to your bank account, that is. Look, picture this. Crimson sunset, the water is the smoothest freaking glass you've ever seen, and yes, you're clutching a cocktail that's basically liquid sunshine. The brochure? It's not lying. It's *understating* the case. I've rented a yacht with Bon Sol, and I swear, I felt like James Bond. Except instead of saving the world, I was focused on perfecting my tan and eating as much sashimi as humanly possible. The crew? Incredible. Attentive without being intrusive. They knew the best coves to swim in, the hidden beaches, the secret spots only locals know. One time, we anchored off Es Vedra (that mystical rock island thing, you know?) and just *sat* there, mesmerized. Seriously, it's a spiritual experience. (And a great place to get some Instagram envy). Alright, I do admit, the initial price tag made my eyes water. But when I think back at the experience, it was worth every single penny. Maybe I should start saving again. Now.
What's the catch? There’s always a catch. Hidden fees? Tiny print gotchas? Tell me…
Okay, deep breaths. The Catch... Listen, I'm naturally cynical. I *look* for the catch. But with Bon Sol, I honestly couldn't find one. They're upfront about costs. There are no surprise fees that pop up on the bill at the end. They really do seem to care about client satisfaction. Of course, you're paying for luxury, so it *is* expensive! But you get what you pay for. I found the biggest "catch" for me was having to leave. Seriously. The hardest part was saying goodbye to the villa and the view. I spent the first week back home dreaming about espresso and the sound of the ocean.
Okay, I'm now convinced, what about the staff there? Are they friendly? Are they super-awkwardly trying to impress me? And more importantly, do they put up with my nonsense?
Right. Staff. THIS is important. I'm a bit of a handful. I'm clumsy. I'm easily flustered. I spill drinks on myself with alarming frequency. And I'm never, ever, on time. The staff at Bon Sol are… *angels*. Seriously. They're professional, friendly, and they handle everything with a level of grace that's frankly, astonishing. They're not there to be your "yes" people or to be awkwardly overly polite. They're genuinely helpful. They anticipate your needs. One time I locked myself out on the balcony at 3 AM (don't ask). Within minutes, someone was there, with a smile and a key. No judgement, just help. They get it. You're there to relax, to enjoy yourself, and to be a little bit ridiculous. And they're perfectly happy to facilitate it. And yes, they DO put up with your nonsense. Trust me on this.
What if I mess something up? Like, *really* mess something up? (My clumsiness is legendary). Am I going to be blacklisted?
Okay, let's talk about the potential for disaster. I am a wreck, so I can completely relate to this. What if you accidentally break a priceless antique vase while attempting a celebratory dance? What if you flood the bathroom because, well, you're you? Look, they *get* that you're there to have fun. Bon Sol understands that accidents happen. They're not going to hold a grudge or make you feel like a complete idiot (unless you truly deserve it, of course, in which case, maybe a little bit). They're there to help. They'll arrange for repairs, replacements, whatever needs to be done. They want you to have a good time, even if you slightly damage what they offer! Seriously, though, don't go out of your way to break things. But if you *do*... they'll handle it. With a smile. And maybe a gentle suggestion that you stick to the dance floor.
What about the location of the villas? Are they near everything? Do I have to drive everywhere? (I HATE driving!)
Location, location, location! This is crucial. Bon Sol offers a variety of villas, so the locations *do* vary. Some are super close to the action – the beaches, the clubs, the buzz. Others? More secluded, perfect for chilling with total peace. They usually have good access to main roads, so it's easy to get to the airport, but depending which you will choose you may choose to be more remote. I suggest clearly stating your preferences. You can also arrange private drivers or taxis, so you don’t even have to worry about driving! Consider this a major life win. Seriously, Ibiza traffic can be a nightmare during peak season. So, yeah, you can choose a place where you are near the action but, also, it’s recommended to plan for transportation if you're not a fan of driving.
Okay, I’m a total tech-freak. Do the villas have good Wi-Fi? Because, you know, gotta stay connected, even on vacation...
Wi-Fi. The bane of my existence, also crucial. Look,Comfort Zone Inn
