Just got back from staying at the mar blau. I am 19 and my friend 18 and i do not reccomend it if you if you are under the age of 50. The hotel is full of mostly Spanish and English OAPs on their holiday, there are not really any attractions or facilities for younger people, children or families. The... more

My partner and I stayed for one week 10th-17th May. The hotel was spotless and clean, we arrived at 1.00am after a flight delay and the reception staff was brill - very welcoming and even offerring us some sandwiches. We were unlucky not to get a sea view room but the room we had was fine (rm 705). The food... more

My husband and I stayed at this superb little hotel from March 1st until March 8th, so must have been there at the same time as the Stevenstons. We experienced exactly the opposite as they did, and found the staff there most helpful. We made a late booking but wrote to the hotel asking for a room on a high... more

I realise this report may not be consistent with the majority of other reviews on this site, but believe me "SERIOUSLY AVOID".

Would highly recommend this hotel. All staff extremely helpful and friendly. Food excellent. Cannot understand the few reviews where people have complained about it. Excellent location.

Stand well back and watch ! Rooms very clean as was rest of hotel. We would definately recomend this hotel to anyone, we will be going back in the... more

We have just returned from a two week stay at the hotel Mar Blau. We stayed at this hotel seven years ago with my mother, and had always said that we would go back because we enjoyed it so much. However, we have been busy since then travelling to other countries for holidays - just to broaden our view! The... more
