Mar Hotels Playa Mar & Spa

Location at the top end of the pine walk was lovely. Rooms were spacious, clean and comfy. Good shower and soft towels. Food good but a little repetitive. Overall well kept grounds, play area and reception staff super helpful. Wi-fi very good

Pool was freezing (it's unheated and after a cold Spring almost unusable) Corridors very echoey which was a bit of a problem at night as our child was disturbed by late/early arrivals and departures.

This is our second stay with Mar Hotels Playa Mar & Spa. We love it so much. First visit with our 9 month old son, second visit he is now 18 months old. Food, drinks, pools, sunbeds, lobby, bedrooms, are all just great. The shop inside the hotel is brilliant for quick amenities to buy. The food choices for Kids is just brilliant. Cannot fault the food and drink offering. Hotel bedroom is large, spacious, clean and nicely decorated. Microwave and Fridge in the room are such a bonus!

We really love the hotel, I cannot fault it in any way.

Super family friendly hotel. Kids love the pool. The spa is beautiful! Make sure you take your swim cap with you (otherwise you can buy it at the spa for just (EUR 2 each). Had a very good (deep tissue) massage, twice! Mini market in the hotel is great, you can buy pretty much everything you need for a beach holiday for a very good price! Surrounding is lovely. Short walk along the famous Pine Walk to restaurants and small beaches. Close to Formentor beach by car (recommended!!), with breathtaking view along the way. If you don't have car, you can go to Formentor beach by ferry from the town center.

We like everything about the hotel. However, if you get a room that has full sunlight in the afternoon/evening, your room could be warm in the night (also with curtain close the whole day and full speed air con).

Friendly staff. Flexible for cyclists (no problem to put the bike in the room). Good food. Beds in the rooms are nice and long (very happy with that since i am quite tall). Nice garden connected to the room on the ground floor. Swimming pool looks nice, as the garden by the swinming pool does. Did not test it. All in all good quality voor reasonable price.

Walls between rooms are very thin. It did not really bother us because there wasn't a lot of noise. But if someone talks in the other room you can hear what they are saying. Breakfast/dinner space is quite big and noisy if it is full. However, buffet is never too crowded and everything was continiously available. No empty plates. Good work.

The location of the hotel was great. I liked that it was a bit outside of the city in the quiet place, but in the walking distance to the city center. And very close to the road to Cap de Formentor. There is a lot of attractions for the kids and evening program for adults. The breakfasts and dinners were good, lots of choice and the restaurant was spacious so even with a lot of people it did not feel crowded. The parking is available next to the hotel, easy to park there. The room was nice and spacious. There was a fridge and a microwave available in the room. Down the hall they have a water fountain available for guests which is a nice touch.

Great selection of food & drinks and a 10 minutes walking distance to the beach. We also used the taxi couple of times to go to the Alcudia beach which was just perfect. It cost about 20 euros and taken about 10 minutes to go there.

The fight over the sun bed in the morning. If you come around 9am there is no chance you will find it. Very often people go out for a half a day and reserve those beds which is quite annoying I think.

Staff were really friendly and the place was really clean. Plus also excellent value for money and an amazing choice of good food.

Did not realise there was entertainment every night. Went on to 11 every night and then punctuated to 12 midnight with loud people. Realise that many will enjoy this, but asked for a quiet room and got the third floor overlooking the swimming pool and restaurant. Our fault for not doing any research before we booked!

Great family hotel with a very nice pool area with slides and fun possibilities for the children. The playground was also nice and there were a lot of activities children could participate in. We will definitely come back with our daughter in a few years! For adults the Spa area had a nice touch, even though there was a long time during the day where it was open to children (nice for the children on the one hand, no space to retreat for adults on the other hand). The chamber was nice and comfortable, spacious enough. Breakfast and dinner were okay altogether, the buffet had a lot of variation. We liked the "Asian themed dinner night".

The doors closed very loudly and it was quite noisy from the halls outside the rooms. A toilet brush would have been nice to have. It would have been nice if the Spa area had been open longer, so it would be able for adults to use it in the morning for a swim before breakfast or later after dinner (i.e. from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. instead of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.)

Great friendly staff. Very clean and looked after hotel and everything.

Food was the only negative experience. Very average, always the same, seemed not really fresh. Almost no lean meat 'had chicken only 2x in the whole week), a lot of fish but many times almost uncooked or cooked far too much, seasoning was poor, salads seemed to always fresh, I suspected they were putting up either old food or it was not properly cooled down in the kitchen.... I felt sick at least twice because of what I ate, after we went out to a restaurants for lunch/dinner last two days. Food was disappointment.

The fifth visit to Playa Mar, and the children still absolutely love this family resort and the town of Puerto Pollensa. The entertainment staff are fantastic and so are all the other members of staff. I've recommended this resort to different friends over the years, and everyone loves it.

The food can sometimes be repetitive.
