Mar Hotels Playa Mar & Spa

Great last minute week away at this hotel and would love to revisit. We did feel a bit out of place as it seemed that you almost needed to have at least one child in tow. Didn't spoil the holiday though. Nice rooms and great view over the pond and pool. Pond had a good supply of frogs, shame that frogs legs weren't on the menu. Food was varied of good quality and plentiful and a special thanks to one of the chefs who made us a special bowl of red Mojo which was one of the best we've ever had. Entertainment was not to our liking but wouldn't prevent a revisit. Don't forget to build in the tourist tax into your cost got quite a surprise when we arrived and had to pay, €48 for two of us for one week.

Me and my girlfriend went out in early September time for a week, we booked a ground floor suite with garden area. Room is good, clean however twin beds rather than a double. Worth the extra for the outside area as being a couple we found the hotel to be to family orientated so god for somewhere to relax quietly. Pool is clean however the 'adult' pool was not very big or deep. Plenty of kids classes and had night entertainment until about 10 every night. Staff were helpful and only a 15min walk into the port despite others advising it is too far, the walk to the port if stunning. There is a small beach closer however we didn't really use it. The main attraction for the holiday for us was Formentor beach, you can get the bus or drive (recommend driving) over a mountain however the white sand, clear water and pine trees backing the beach made it feel more tropical, cannot recommend it enough. All in all good hotel and good location hoowever if you don't have kids i would look elsewhere.

This was our 2nd year here as we enjoyed it so much the first time. Two days into our holiday our daughter cut her leg open coming out of the crab slide and requiered 7 stiches in her leg. Turns out she was the 2nd person in two days to cut her leg in the same area of the pool (who knows how many it happened to before). The hotel never fixed or stopped anyone from using the pool after the two incidents had happened. Also, the management of the hotel paid for the first girl to go to hospital to get her leg sorted out but offered zero in help towards our costs. It's a shame as we had enjoed the hotel the first time we had gone there, but doubt we will go back again. This is now with our solicitors as our daughter has a scar on her leg which wasn't her fault and this could have been sorted by the hotel after the first girl had cut her leg open.
