Ibiza Dream Vacation: Cana Rita Apartments Await!
Ibiza Dream Vacation: Cana Rita Apartments Await! - A Messy, Honest Review
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I’m about to unleash a review of Cana Rita Apartments, and let me tell you, after that Ibiza sun and salty breeze, my brain is still… ahem… processing. We’re talking about an Ibiza Dream Vacation, right? And Cana Rita? Well, let's just say it was an experience, alright?

The Arrival - Accessibility and the Grand Illusion (and a bit of panic)
First things first: Accessibility. They claim to be wheelchair accessible. And, the truth is, they ARE, technically, but in the oh-so-Spanish sense of the word. Getting around the main areas wasn't too bad, the lift worked, and the ramps were present. But, and it's a BIG but, the paths to some of the actual apartments… well, imagine trying to navigate a golf course in a wheelchair after a few sangrias. Not ideal. There was a bit of a moment where I genuinely thought my friend, bless her heart, was going to have to carry me. The apartment itself was fine, but that first impression? Oof. It certainly put a damper on my excited "Ibiza, here I come!" vibe. I'm going to be blunt: this is not a truly accessible location. If you require a lot of support, double-check everything before booking.
Internet & Tech Chaos (or Lack Thereof)
Okay, let's talk Internet. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Woo-hoo! …Except it was more like… "Wi-Fi-ish." Think of it as a shy friend who only shows up when you're least expecting them. Getting work done (because of course I had to, even in Ibiza!) was a nightmare. Forget about video calls. I ended up walking to the lobby multiple times just to get a stable connection. My advice? Embrace the digital detox. (Unless you have to work, then… good luck, friend). They also had Internet [LAN], but, who uses that anymore? It felt like an artifact from the early 2000s.
Things To Do & Ways to Relax (or How I Learned to Love the Pool)
Right. The pool with view. YES. This was a saving grace. Glorious, sparkling, blue perfection. Seriously, after a morning of (attempted) work and a near-death experience navigating the "accessible" pathways, diving into that pool felt like a religious conversion. The Spa was… well, it existed. I got a massage. It was good, but nothing to write home about. The Fitness Center? Let's just say the equipment looked like it had seen better decades. I think I might have been the first person in a year to actually use it. Now, I wasn't brave enough to try the Sauna, Spa/sauna, or Steamroom, I've never been a big fan of sweating for pleasure so…
For the lazy ones like me the Body wrap was a bit of a miss. It's like being wrapped in a damp, slightly fragrant burrito.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (Fueling the Sun-Kissed Soul)
The Restaurants - there were a few, which was a relief. The A la carte in restaurant was great, with delicious international cuisine. The Buffet in restaurant hit the spot, and I've always loved a good buffet.
The Poolside bar? Ah, the poolside bar. Picture this: me, in a soggy bikini, clutching a cocktail that was 80% ice and 20% delicious. Pure bliss. They had a good selection of drinks, and the staff were friendly (though, sometimes a little too friendly after a few happy hours). The Happy hour was a must-do. The Snack bar was also a winner for quick nibbles. The Desserts in restaurant were a sugary highlight.
Cleanliness and Safety (COVID-19 and Beyond)
Okay, this is where Cana Rita actually shone. Cleanliness and safety were obviously a priority. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays – they took it seriously. They had Hand sanitizer everywhere, and the staff were masked up like they were prepping for a bank heist (kidding!). I appreciated the effort, genuinely. It made me feel safer, which is saying something considering the sheer volume of people crammed into Ibiza during peak season. They also even had First aid kits and a Doctor/nurse on call! The Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, and Individually-wrapped food options all reassured me.
Services and Conveniences (The Good, The Okay, and The "Meh")
The Concierge was friendly but not always helpful, I wouldn't expect anything more. The Dry cleaning and Laundry service were a lifesaver. The Daily housekeeping kept the apartment decent. The Elevator was a lifesaver, especially after the whole accessibility debacle. The Convenience store was good for quick bits if you didn't want to go very far. They have Luggage storage, which can always be helpful.
For the Kids (because, Ibiza, right?)
While I don't have kids, I did notice the Family/child friendly vibe overall. There was a dedicated Family/child friendly area, but I didn't get a chance to check it out.
Available in all rooms (The Nitty-Gritty)
The Air conditioning – essential, thank you! The Blackout curtains – also essential for those late-night party recoveries. Free bottled water was a nice touch, and the Mini bar was tempting (though, expensive). You can also watch movies, watch the TV and get online thanks to Internet access – wireless!
Getting Around (The Island Life)
Airport transfer – definitely book this! The Car park [free of charge] was a bonus. No need to worry about expensive parking fees.
The Emotional Rollercoaster (My Overall Verdict)
Look, Cana Rita is… complicated. It’s not perfect. The accessibility issues are a real downer. The Wi-Fi is a joke. But the pool? The views? The general vibe of Ibiza? That’s all magic. Ultimately, it depends on your priorities. If you’re looking for absolute luxury and seamless service, this might not be the place for you. But if you want a decent base, with a killer pool, and you’re willing to embrace a little bit of imperfection and adventure, then Cana Rita might just be the ticket to your own chaotic, sun-drenched dream.
Would I go back? Maybe. If they fixed the accessibility issues and got a decent Wi-Fi connection, I'd be there in a heartbeat. For now, though, I'll dream of that pool and that poolside bar… and mentally prepare for the next potential golf course-style trek back to my apartment.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's itinerary. This is Cana Rita, Ibiza, or Bust (and Probably a Whole Lot of Sangria). Get ready for a trip that’s less perfectly curated Instagram feed and more… well, me.
Days 1-3: Arrival & The Search for the Perfect Beach (Spoiler: It Doesn't Exist)
Day 1 - The Great Ibiza Descent:
- Morning: Flight from… well, wherever the hell I’m coming from. Let's just say it involved a questionable airport breakfast sandwich and a near-miss with a screaming toddler. Ugh, airports. Arrival at Ibiza Airport (IBZ). Pray the luggage gods are on our side. Seriously, I once waited three hours for a suitcase in Rome. The trauma.
- Afternoon: Taxi to Cana Rita Apartamentos. Pray for a friendly driver. Pray harder for AC in the taxi. Check in. The real adventure begins here. Unpack (or, more accurately, throw everything in a pile) and survey the scene. "Ooh, balcony! Must. Get. Sangria."
- Evening: Supermarket Sweep! Gotta find the essentials: bread, cheese, jamón, and a whole lot of wine. Oh, and sunblock. That's a survival necessity in Ibiza. Struggle to open a carton of orange juice. Fail. Drink straight from the carton. Sigh. Dinner on the balcony - simple, quick, and with a spectacular view of… a slightly overgrown garden. Charming nonetheless.
Day 2 – Beach Wars:
- Morning: The quest for the perfect beach begins! Research (aka, Googling "best beaches Ibiza" while nursing a hangover) suggests Cala Comte. Pack the beach bag (towel, sunblock, a book I'll probably never read).
- Afternoon: Cala Comte. Yeah, it's pretty. Very pretty. But also… crowded. Like, sardines-in-a-tin crowded. Managed to "secure" a patch of sand with a strategic towel placement. The water is crystal clear, the vibe is chill… until someone spills their sangria right next to my towel. Panic, then laughter. Ibiza life. Attempt a quick dip. Discover my swimsuit is NOT as supportive as I thought. Regret.
- Evening: Drinks and Tapas. Find a chill bar in San Antonio. Overorder and eat all the patatas bravas. Get into a heated (but friendly) debate about the best type of Spanish tortilla with the waiter. He wins, obviously. Head back to the apartment and watch the sunset. This is what Ibiza is all about, isn't it?
Day 3 - The Underdog Beach:
- Morning: Feeling slightly beach-ed out, so decided to try something different. Maybe a hidden gem. After more diligent (or rather, less-diligent) online research, decided to head to Cala Salada.
- Afternoon: Cala Salada. Much less crowded, which is a win! It's got a natural, raw beauty that makes you appreciate the island even more. Swim, splash, maybe even some snorkeling (if I can find my mask). The water is divine, the sun is relentless.
- Evening: Cook something simple in Cana Rita. Pasta? Salad? I'm not a chef. But the feeling of cooking a simple meal after a day of adventure is oddly satisfying. Open a bottle of wine and people-watch from the balcony. This is life, right here.
Days 4-5: Boats, Booze, and the Art of Doing Absolutely Nothing
Day 4 – The Boat Fiasco (and Finding My Inner Peace… Briefly):
- Morning: Okay, boat trip! Booked a day trip to Formentera, the little island paradise. Wake up late. Rush to the harbor. Almost miss the boat. The boat is… smaller than anticipated. Realize I forgot my sunglasses. Curse.
- Afternoon: Formentera! The waters are unbelievably turquoise. Spend the day swimming, sunbathing, and attempting to look effortlessly glamorous (fail). Snorkeling! See a fish. A small fish. Feel victorious. Ate the most delicious paella at a beachside restaurant. It was heavenly.
- Evening: The boat ride back is a bit choppy. Get slightly seasick. Vow to never eat paella again. (Lie). Arrive back at Cana Rita feeling sun-kissed, slightly seasick, and ridiculously happy. Crash on the balcony with a book.
Day 5 - The Great Hangover Recovery and The Search for a Genuine Ibiza Experience:
- Morning: Wake up with an epic hangover. Curse the sangria. Eat the greasy, leftover pizza.
- Afternoon: Explore the streets of Ibiza Town. Get lost. Accidentally stumble upon a hidden courtyard cafe. Sip a strong espresso and watch the world go by. It's in these moments - the ones that were truly unplanned - that the magic of travel happens.
- Evening: Dinner in Ibiza Town. Found a restaurant tucked away on a narrow street, lit by fairy lights. Ate delicious tapas (again). Actually, I think I'm developing a serious addiction to tapas. Maybe this is the real Ibiza experience. The food, the people, the messy beauty of it all.
Days 6-7: Farewell, Ibiza (For Now!)
Day 6 – The Party? (Maybe, Probably Not):
- Morning: Actually, after the past few days, not feeling like partying. Feeling like sleeping until noon and taking a nap on the beach…
- Afternoon: A very long nap on the beach. Realize how blissfully relaxed I feel.
- Evening: One last sunset. A final glass of wine on the balcony. Reflect on the trip, on all the beautiful imperfections.
Day 7 - The Goodbye:
- Morning: Pack. Cringe at the state of my suitcase. Check out of Cana Rita. Say a reluctant goodbye to that balcony view. Head to the airport. Pray the flight is on time. Pray my memories of Ibiza stay bright.
- Afternoon: Flight home, likely filled with more airport food and the sound of children screaming.
- Evening: Back home, already dreaming of my next adventure. Ibiza, you beautiful, messy, perfect mess. I'll be back.
Important Notes (Read These, Please):
- This is not a rigid schedule. Things change. Go with the flow. Get lost. Embrace the unexpected.
- Sunscreen. Seriously. You'll thank me.
- Learn a few basic Spanish phrases. It's not just polite, it can unlock amazing moments.
- Don't be afraid to ask for recommendations. Locals know the best places.
- Most importantly: Relax, have fun, and embrace the chaos. Because that's what Ibiza is all about. Cheers to the journey!
Ibiza Dream Vacation: Cana Rita Apartments - Hold On To Your Hats! (or, How I Survived & Maybe Even Loved It)
Okay, spill. What *actually* is Cana Rita like? The brochure is so...perfect.
The view...they brag about the view. Is it *really* worth it?
What's the deal with the pool? Is it overcrowded? Is it actually… clean?
Okay, *specifically*, what are the apartments like? Are the beds comfortable?
Hiring a car... essential?
Food! Where should I eat? (Beyond the apartment kitchen… which I'm guessing is a no-go.)
Nightlife! Is it as WILD as everyone says?
