HM Mar Blau

Had a very good holiday here last year and returning this year again. Staff all friendly and helpful. Room nice and comfortable only thing the shower leaks onto floor like many have said so hopefully this issue has been sorted for this year. Food nice plenty of choice but waiting on breakfast items like pancakes and omelettes seemed to take a long time. Plenty of drinks on all inclusive including some branded. Kids disappointed slushies and ice creams/ice lollies not included in AI. Overall good hotel nice clean and tidy.

Came away with my mum, we usually try to have a week together and enjoy ourselves. Friendly reception, with clear instructions for the dining room and pool etc. I booked a studio to give us a bit more room, it was perfect, mum had her own space and our beds were really comfy, thank goodness. The room was lovely and clean, fluffy towels and excellent maid service, they tidied up after mum, she’s not the tidiest person ! The pool area is lovely, not intimidating and some is in shade and was a nice green space. The food was absolutely delicious, we ate quite early so we got to the buffets while they were still pretty full, but the staff are on top of cleaning tables and re- filling when needed. The churros at breakfast were delicious and always the first things to run low. We got a cab to the sandy beach some days, it was a bit too far to walk for Mum, especially on the way back after huge amounts of ice cream. The week was relaxed, warm and great fun.

Spent seven nights with our four year old daughter, here in Majorca. It was the end of August/ beginning of September, still reallly hot but not as crowded as it could have been. Our bedroom was great, room for our daughter and enough space to put all our things out of the way. It was cleaned daily, a joy to come back to a fresh, tidy space. We had days around the hotel and pool, it’s calm with a pretty outlook and lots of greenery. The dining room was organised and kept clean, the food was great and some dishes were really good. Also found plenty that my daughter liked and the staff were incredibly kind, getting little extras for her. We got a taxi to the beach at sa coma it was glorious sand, about five to ten minutes and worth it for the day. Liked everyone and everything, easy to recommend.

Generally I don’t write reviews but hopefully this can help someone. Never been to Majorca before. Arrived with family, Partner, 5 & 15 year old. Clean modern hotel. Friendly & professional. Apar**ent not huge but ok. Had 2 very comfortable single and separate sofa beds in the lounge which were a godsend (fitted partner & teenage son on nicely) Adequate air con, good Wi-Fi. Kitchen, not great, but fine to heat up stuff, make a brew, or sandwich. Bathroom came with shampoo and shower gel, towels changed regularly. Shower water went all over floor which was quite dangerous really as the floor was super slippy. Thorough daily maid service. Balcony looked over Main Street, not great, but better than some of the other views some had. Not private at all, had a pervy German/Spanish guy right next door who just stared at me hanging my clothes out to dry. So I would never sit out there due to that. Pools are nice, inflatables allowed, felt like the kids pool could have been larger as my daughter loved it. The same slippy tiles followed into the bar, where you can order food. I went flying! Be warned! I could have really hurt myself, the lovely bar man came to my assistance though, obviously not the first time it has happened. Only went to the entertainment one night, where my daughter had her face painted and there were a few games & a disco. It was fine, not our thing really, but if you’re expecting something more livelier then this is not it. Food was fantastic. Maybe I’m just overly grateful, but really the selection was outstanding, beautifully presented and always restocked ( though the chocolate sauce for the churro’s did run out quickly most mornings) it all looked fresh and abundant. We never queued, service was amazing and the restaurant was big plus there was outside seating too. My son loved all the different seafoods. The hostess even produced jelly from the kitchen for my daughter when we asked. We went Half board & it was definitely worth it, eating out in Majorca is not cheap at all, and dare I say it not very authentic or mind blowingly great. This area is for tourists. Do more research if you want the food & culture because you won’t find it here. Sorry. Set in a residential area, between 2 resorts, you will have to walk at least 5/10 minutes to get to the nearest Spar, which is expensive. Sa Coma beach is beautiful, sandy and big, but it’s a 25 minute walk on the flat with a moaning child. Unfortunately too far for me, and if I had known would have booked somewhere else. Cala Millor beach is slightly closer but is rocky. I don’t understand how people say the beach is 5 minutes away, maybe by car, but being a beach person, Sa Coma is the nearest nicest one. I liked Sa Coma, even though there’s not a lot there. Cala Milor had more shops, but I felt a lot more hostility there from the Spanish, being British. Drach caves are fantastic, strongly suggest to pre book your tickets. We just showed up and they were sold out which caused an argumen

Our studio was on the ground floor, with a terrace space. The staff were so helpful and understanding when our two girls had a meltdown after the journey, they sped things up and we were in our room in minutes. Bright studio, full sized dining table, couple of comfy sofas and it was clean and well set out. A five minute stroll to the gorgeous sandy beach, we could head back to the hotel whenever the girls got fed up, great location for us. Great selection of food and drinks, lots of fresh fruit for snacks. Every single member of staff were lovely, would be happy to return.
