We have just returned form a weeks stay here for our summer holiday, it was a last minute booking- and a good price. We stayed self-catering, but did use the restaurant for breakfast once, and bought lunch from the snack bar. The food at breakfast was ok, sadly the hot food was tepid, but the freshly made eggs and pancakes were good. The snack bar was quite expensive for what it was, but the food was nice. They were not able to deal with allergies well, which meant my husband had to go and search for food elsewhere. The rooms were great, spacious and clean. They were basic in terms of furniture etc, but still good. The room was cleaned daily, which was a great experience, as a mum of 4 I don’t get things cleaned for me often- definitely a highlight for me! We took our youngest 2 children (age 14 & 8) they both have autism and loved the hotel especially the pools. They preferred the indoor pool, as the outdoor pools were very busy- (and of course all of the sun-beds were ‘taken’ by 9am. We didn’t race down to save sun-beds as we like to explore and unlike others we didn’t feel it right to save them and not use them for long periods of time- not a hotel issue but more of a guest issue). However a word of warning the indoor pool is colder than the outdoor pools, so brace yourself when getting in 😆. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, especially the reception staff who were very accommodating. The only thing that we feel lets this hotel down slightly, is the location. It is a 20 minute walk into Sa Coma centre and a 25 minute walk into Cala Millor centre. Which for many I’m sure is fine, but my boys struggled with this especially in the heat, and after a full day of activities. The hotel would happily order a taxi for you, but trying to get taxis from other locations during the day was difficult and taxi ranks that you could use were hard to find- as many of them were either not useable due to roadworks, construction or obstructed by festival set-ups. In the area there were many things to keep the family entertained such as; beaches, bicycle hire, remote control car hire, a dinosaur land, a small water park, a safari zoo, and arcades etc. These things are all an extra cost, but worth doing to a few to elevate your holiday experience. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay at HM Mar Blau, and would definitely recommend it.
