Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Montesol

Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.

The island's first hotel, the Montesol, opened in 1934 and retains its grand exterior—fashion photographers love the balconies facing the promenade. The rooms aren't nearly as fancy, but they're clean and comfortable (expect bare, white-tile floors and flower-print bedspreads mismatched to plaid drapes), and if you are wondering why it's so popular, it's the location—the hotel sits on the northwest corner of the Vara de Rey, Eivissa's central promenade, where everyone comes to see and be seen.
