to get started.

Guests of Ushuaïa get free access to all the parties in the resort and free access to Hi Ibiza Nightclub which is right across the street from the hotel. Each of which are 60€ so you definitely save money just by being a Ushuaïa Guest. The beach club is phenomenal and the pool was perfect. Also, Ushuaïa is very safe. There is security at every access point checking hotel wristbands plus you need the chip in your wristband to gain access from the beach, so nobody can just stroll in as they want.

Crystal, United States of America

It was on the beach, enjoyed the music played on the beach and at the hotel. Free access to the on property concert. Fabulous Sunday brunch with great variety and free champagne. Very nice and comfortable rooms, well stocked mini bar, loved the rain bird showers.

It’s the place that i would never miss ! Every summer🙌 4th time now. Awesome

Style of the room and the hotel facilities and location as well

Mohamrd, Qatar

Nothing. From the second we arrived, the hotel did not live up to the expectations nor the cost.

Too, United States of America

The last day of my trip I got kicked out by somebody from the staff after I had been guaranteed 1 more night and changed plane tickets this guy walks into the room and told me I had to leave the hotel or he would force me since I had no room.

Andres, Colombia

Everything about this place was top notch! I wish I could have stayed longer!

Ahmitabha, United States of America

DJ comes to your hotel, free admission to hi club across the street, staff is very friendly and helpful. This is a party hotel, don't expect to take a nap 5pm-12am. Balcony facing the music arena is awesome!
