Mar Hotels Playa Mar & Spa

We had a nice 20 days stay at Mar Hotels Playa Mar & Spa! The entire hotel is spotless – everything was incredibly clean and well maintained. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The breakfast and lunch buffet were excellent, offering a wide variety of delicious options to suit all tastes. We especially appreciated the quality and freshness of the food, with something new to try each day. This hotel is truly perfect for families with children – from the kid-friendly pools and play areas to the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, everything is designed with families in mind. We felt completely at ease and well taken care of throughout our stay. The only small downside was that the beds could have been more comfortable – a bit firmer or newer mattresses would make a big difference. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend it. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

When looking to book a holiday, the first thing we as a family have to take into account is booking somewhere that caters well for allergies. Three of the family have to adhere to a strict gluten-free diet. We informed the hotel before we arrived, and we were so well catered to for the entire holiday. On the first day of the holiday, they brought out 3 separate breakfasts consisting of different Schar items, including 2 slices of toast, cereal, muffins, and biscuits. We could have cried; we'd read that the hotel catered well for coeliacs but never expected to be catered to so well. There was a two-sided gluten-free menu, where after finishing our breakfast, we'd order our lunchtime meal, and then once finishing lunch, we'd order our evening meal. The menu had a great amount of choice, including pastas, pizzas, cuts of meat and fish with sides, and puddings. The buffet food was also well labeled with allergens; however, there's more of a risk of cross-contamination. The food was excellent, and we can't thank the chefs and all the staff enough; we didn't have to worry once about food at any point of the holiday. We'd especially like to thank the chefs for preparing such fantastic food. And a huge thanks also to Fredy, Angie, Matel and Nathalie for making us feel so welcome at each mealtime; you really made the holiday for the children and us. The rooms were kept immaculate each day, so a big thanks to Lina. The rooms were spacious even for 3 kids and ourselves. We stayed in a ground-floor, pool-facing suite. Our only slight downside would be noise due to being in close proximity to the park. Children would sometimes play until after midnight and then run up and down corridors, which would wake our children. There was always something to do for the children, our kids loved the slides, and when they'd had enough of being in the water, there were always options to do something else. From playing in the park, joining in with the activities put on by the brilliant animation team, or going to play football in the small stadium behind the hotel for a few hours, they were always busy. Another massive shout-out to Andreea from the animation team, who came and joined in football with me and my son, who stayed and played for hours. After that, she would always make a fuss over and joke with the kids and genuinely made our holiday better; she'd often come and sit with us as a family and have a laugh. The animation team has so much energy; I genuinely don't know how they do it for all those hours and weeks on end. Fair play to them, again, a huge thank you and a final shout-out to the whole animation team! The location was also perfect for us, situated on the end of the strip, it was only a 15-minute walk to cafes and bars, which forced us to get some steps in to work off the huge meals we'd been having. To conclude, this was our first visit, and it definitely won't be the last we've already started looking for next year.

Third stay for us at Playa Mar and Spa and as always the food, staff and general quality were first class. One of the few hotels to offer large spacious rooms as standard. First time at the spa and a wonderful massage given by Monica. The pine walk is a must as is the Mallorca themed food night. Aimed at younger families, our eldest is starting to outgrow the kids entertainment but we will always have fond memories of our time here!

Wow! Just got back from a week away here. It was our children’s first holiday abroad, and we could not have asked for a better time. The hotel was extremely clean and well equipped for what we needed. The food was well above average for an all inclusive buffet and offered something for everyone at breakfast lunch and dinner - even our picky 6 year old always enjoyed his meals. The themed food nights were fabulous, we particularly loved the Mexican, Asian and Indian night. The staff were all lovely, helpful and genuinely did everything they could for you. A special mention must go out to Andrea, Stefan, Paul and Sami from the animation team. They made huge efforts to get to know us as a family and spent a lot of time with the children making them feel special and constantly entertained - they MADE our holiday what it was. We did go during a very quiet period, which was perfect for us as we don’t like busy places. At times, we had all 3 outdoor pools and slides to ourselves! ( I understand from the team there that it gets very busy during the peek season) The evening entertainment was always fun… my 4 year old daughter really enjoyed the kids mini disco and the new songs and moves she learnt over the week. All in all 10/10 holiday. We will absolutely be back! Thanks all 👍🏻

Great family focused hotel. First time we’ve done all inclusive and we weren’t disappointed. Food was varied and of good quality. Staff were friendly and attentive. Location is 5 mins walk from sea , there are lots of mini beaches and trees offering shade. Only real criticism is the Wi-Fi is pretty rubbish.
