Mar Hotels Playa Mar & Spa

Very friendly personnel, nice swimming pool for kids

Room full of ants, they sprayed insecticide under the door while we were inside. Rooms are outdated. Food is ok but a lot is greasy. Overall too expensive for what you get.

Good location, quiet end of town. Excellent value for money. Clean tidy with very friendly staff.

If it lacked anything, it was a bike lock up. However, we were allowed to keep the bikes in the rooms without any fuss.

fantastic hotel great staff excellent spa facilities great food catered for coeliac ?will definitely return in the future

Staff were delightful and helpful. Always smiling. The food was excellent and varied. Secure cycle store was fine. Ideal location for a cycling holiday/training camp.

The property is very poorly sound proofed. You will hear everything from neighbouring rooms. Children singing/crying. Guests leaving for early flights. You will hear them all. Toilet and shower are only separated from living space by a glass door so you again hear everything.

Location.

More like a Holiday camp for families with young children. Was much busier and noisier than we thought, (Feb half term, didn't realise! ) the Restaurant more like a packed, noisy canteen. Food quality very poor. Definately not a four star hotel, more like 2 star. Probably gets the four stars for the Spa/pool area which looked lovely, but as you had to pay 10 euro for a towel and wear a swimming hat (2.50 euro) and was only open from 10am-6pm we didn't bother to use it. Couldn't get over how noisy and selfish adults with children can be going back to rooms late at night, doors slamming, shouting, kids crying... Our room was fine, although we had trouble keeping it warm in evening, floors freezing, we had a good size balcony, overlooking the road!! We only stayed 2 days in the end. Fine budget hotel for young families maybe, but that's it. Sorry, not our cup of tea.

Gluten free food was excellent. Pool area designed for children was nice

Food was very average. The last two days, room was not cleaned well. Toiletries were very poor quality.Wifi was awful, I was told engineer will look in to it but it did not improve.

The staff were super helpful, the onsite parking was really useful and the food was well above anything we've had from half board stays before.

The toilets in the room were pretty odd with no closing door and feeling pretty open to the room.

The staff were amazing all around, reception were always helpful and friendly. Cleaning staff were always helpful and friendly. All the staff at dinner and breakfast were always helpful and friendly! The location of the hotel was great, only a 10-20 minute walk from the beach, shops and restaurants. Rooms were cleaned daily and to a good standard.The pool was a really nice size with the different sections for all different types of guest. There were plenty of deck chairs available always.Breakfast and dinner were great with fresh food and plenty of choice and variety each day.

Had to pay to use the safe in the room with a deposit and daily charge, never had to do that before. The pool was just a bit too cold. It was quite hot outside so the water would feel colder than it is, but even still it wasn't an enjoyable experience trying to get in and my feet felt numb. Once you were in for a good while it was ok just because you got used to it. With half board, we couldn't use the drink machines at dinner even though we were allowed at breakfast, which I just found odd.The beds weren't very comfortable and kept sliding about when you moved. I know some hotels like to push two single beds together to make a double, but they should at least be connected I feel.

Amazing stay the staff were so helpful. Excellent location!

Coffee could of been better

When we first arrived we thought the resort was very pretty with lovely gardens and very clean. We were a bit dissappointed with the size of the main pool, and that there were only two other kids pools and that was it. We had previously stayed in larger resorts in cala d'or with 5+ pools and many restaurants to chose from and were wondering how to fill eight days in this smaller sized resort.Saying that, by the end of the trip, this resort and its staff had completely won us over. I felt more relaxed than I have in other places. No matter how many towels were put down in the morning to reserve sun loungers we always managed to find one or two and an umbrella. We always had a table to sit at to watch the evening show. The layout of the resort is lovely and everything is close and easy to get to within the resort.The food was better than we have had at other resorts but it was the kind, lovely, friendly staff that made our experience what it was in the end. It had almost a family atmosphere with guests greeting staff by their names in the morning and everyone generally having a lovely time.Dinner had different themes which were all good but bbq night and a night with seafood were highlights.There was also fun day entertainment such as pool bingo and inflatable slides which my son loved. Evening entertainment was what you would expect - but it was a nice fun space for the adults to relax with a drink, the kids to dance at disco etcOur room was lovely and there was a double pull out bed in the living room as well as a double in the bedroom. The aircon worked well and we had a ground floor with a little garden and day bed which was a lovely touch and nice to relax outside in the evenings before dinner.My partner and son are now demanding we go back to this resort next year! They don't want to go anywhere else.Location wise, I was very happy to be at the quiet end of the pine walk, and did a morning walk along the bay every morning which was lovely.

The pool - if there was just one more pool or the main pool was bigger this resort would be perfect. Saying that, by the end of the holiday we had swum all day every day and were completely happy. The kids pool with slides x 3 was perfect for my son who is six and I loved sitting in the water while he slid down. The pool bar - I felt that maybe a bit more could be done with the pool bar - it was a bit underwhelming just to look at - although the staff again were absolutely lovely and service was super fast. The location - being a 20-25 minute walk along the pine walk to the main port, and 34 - 37 degees it was too hot for us to walk especially my son. And taxis are very unreliable - there is a new app based approach on the island which everyone must use and we had to cancel dinner reservations because after an hour we were nowhere near the top of the list for a cab and we couldn't walk to the port in time. Saying that, there are other restaurants closer to the hotel, that I would try instead for some variety (about 10 mins walk).

Not very good crap

Rubbish food cheaper cuts of meat cheaper fish cuts poor quality altogether cooked Badley not good enough for a 4 star don't feel have had value for money we paid did complain about things poor cleaning of room also told you to much children's mess around dinning room and no organisation in dinning room dirty plates when getting food some staff Rude to us personally did complaine again nothing done

The rooms, hotel and pool area were kept extremely clean we stayed for a week and our room was cleaned every day. The staff especially in the restaurant were so lovely and really took to our 8 month old always giving her attention when we were welcomed and whilst she was sat at the table which she loved! The location is at the end of pine walk we did this walk every day down to the marina which was lovely especially as the weather wasn’t on our side for the week so we didn’t have as many pool days. The entertainment staff were also very good with the older kids as our daughter is still very young we didn’t get to see the evening entertainment but my husband and I would make runs to bar and from what we could see everyone was having a great time.

Very loud at night…… although not necessarily the hotels fault and it could have just been the block we were in but from around 9pm-12am I’m assuming where people were coming back from their evenings out we could hear everything from doors slamming to the wardrobe doors opening and closing not ideal with a sleeping baby. The buffet although they would do themed nights every night could have had a bit more selection after 3 meals a day 7 nights a week it got a bit samey.

Lovely stay, friendly attentive, lovely rooms. easy to park and walking distance from the marina. Good job.

it was good.

It was an ok hotel . Food was ok not fantastic.

It was right on the edge of town . No shops bars restaurants nearby .

excellent service from friendly staff, lovely location and a resort with both peacefulness and vibrancy

Excellent value for half board. Room was spacious and very clean. Staff were very friendly and the facilities were fantastic. The hotel was very welcoming to the many cyclists and other guests. The buffet breakfast and evening meals were perfect with a wide variety of all kinds of foods.

The bar stock was a little disappointing. The amaretto wasn't Di Saronno and was disappointing. The Cointreau was an orange licquer and not Cointreau and the only cider was Magners which is by no means the best. It would be great to have a properly stocked bar because otherwise it was great.

good clean hotel with good food... excellent position for all cycling routes

nothing really to dislike if I wasn't cycling it maybe a bit far from center but again nothing more than a 15min stroll down the front

Breakfast and room very good Hotel staff very friendly

A but far out of town and lots of mosquitoes

Food. Rooms. Staff

stayed her many times before and the hotel is still up to it’s usual high standards

some of the chefs can be very rude two in particular on the omelette/egg station during our stay . one flatly refused to make fried eggs at 7.55am when we were in a real rush to leave for the airport pointing out instead that service didn’t commence until 8.00am - I mean come on??? another pretended not to understand my Spanish when I requested jamon y queso in my omelette even though I speak quite good Spanish - made me repeat it twice and then said “oh you mean ham and cheese” in English ! all other staff were really nice .
