We had a 4-night stay at Lux Isla and took advantage of the room with car hire option which cost 56 euros per night for the room and the car, (winter offer), + 7 euros plus VAT per day for no excess on the insurance. We could have opted for a superior room for a further 15 euros per day and, in hindsight, we wished that we had as although there is nothing terribly wrong with a standard double, they are a bit old-fashioned and the bathrooms are definately in need of some refurbishment ~ apparently the superior rooms have had a recent revamp. Aside from this we were very happy with the hotel and have nothing but praise for the owner and his wife who run it. The hire car was a nearly new Fiat Panda and we were always able to find a parking space near to the hotel but can imagine it being difficult in busier times. Breakfast was more than adequate with a range of hot and cold choices. Contrary to some previous reviews, it is a good deal more than a 20-minute walk into Ibiza Town .... think you could almost double this unless you plan on running! We were glad we chose to stay in Talamanca as it is far less hectic than Ibiza Town. There is a well-stocked supermarket within 200 metres of the hotel. There isn't a huge choice of restaurants in the area out of season and our saving grace was a little bar/cafe just 50 metres from the hotel called Cafe Andalucia. Don't judge it from the outside - the food was very good, non-fussy and super value. Adjacent to the cafe is a bar/club which does get a bit noisy at about 3am so if you are a light sleeper would suggest you pack some earplugs.
