Azuline Hotel Mar Amantis

We stayed here as a party of 2 for a week in October. We paid more to stay in Amantis 1 and glad that we did. Hotels are literally opposite each other and really not a problem to walk from one to the other. Both hotels had bars but Amantis 1 had the restaurant for both hotels. Amantis 2 had a snack bar that looked quite good food although we didn’t eat there. Restaurant was mainly good, one night was poor. Cocktails and drinks were local brands but tasted good. All drinks were served in plastic cups both inside and outside the hotel doing nothing for the environment! Really would be better served in a glass! Rooms were very clean and ours was on the side and we could see the bay, so lovely. Pools were freezing. Pools in Amantis 2 were more of a sun trap. We had really good weather. The people staying here let the hotel down at times, especially in Amantis 2. Swearing and loud behaviour through too much drink! Entertainment was quite poor. Irish bar down the road was good. We walked round the bay to the other side, approximately 40 min nice walk and got the boat taxi back for 3 euros which was lovely. We also walked round the bay and went to the bus station. We bought a return ticket to the Old Town and caught the number 3 (I think) bus. This was a lovely place. I can’t remember what the fare was but it was really reasonable. Amantis 1 is definitely a better hotel.

Last minute family break in late October, lots of things unavailable food, drink and snacks wise,and resort pretty much closed down, weather was awful, some of this can't be blamed on hotel. We were in the annexe and meals across the road in the main hotel, pools were filthy dirty. Life guards un interested. Pool bar closed. Services seem to be cut as closing down for the season, food was good although fresh chef stopped part way through our visit, felt plastic and paper cups for drinks a little unnecessary. Basic rooms and a little tired, had to pay 20 euro for a kettle, tax payable on arrival i wasn't aware of. Beds comfortable all had to ask for extra pillows.

Still here now! (Want to go home!!) We have visited Spain at least 8 times in the last 3 yrs and I can honestly say this hotel is AWFUL! Ok no I am sorry, the hotel is clean and tidy (cleaners are fantastic and do a GREAT job) restaurant, reception and bar staff in hotel 1 are an absolute disgrace! RUDE, ARROGANT and TOTALLY unprofessional, bar is un manned most of the time and when we call for service all we get is a face like thunder and “what do you want” attitude. No smiles or hello at all! No entertainment on most nights (maybe due to end of season but still!!) food is terrible and most of it is un edible, unless you are happy with just pizza and chips! Meat is raw (when they have meat!) and a lot you don’t even know what it is! We are a really easy going family and will take any holiday as it comes but PLEASE DONT book this hotel if you want a “happy holiday!!” No way will we come back here!!! Definitely don’t book for here if you have kids with you as they will be miserable! Everything around the area is closing down so not a lot to do out of the hotel either! TUI really should tell people this before you book but didn’t! Sorry for miserable review (don’t do reviews normally unless it’s good but needed people to know about this place!!)
