Vell Mari

Atmosphere . Value . Foods. Cleaning room.

We initially booked the sister hotel in Sa Coma but they overbooked and so we were moved by EasyJet to this hotel. For context we were a party of 4 friends in their 20s. Positives: Clean, beautiful space with lots of natural scenery and a large pool. Food was nice and the all inclusive is great. We were upgraded to Gold All Inclusive due to us being moved, which meant we didn’t pay a thing no matter what type of drink or cocktail we wanted. Only thing we had to pay for was branded ice creams/lollies or the spa. Staff are friendly and helpful, most of them all being multilingual speaking English, Spanish, French and German. Negatives: If you do not have children I do NOT recommend staying here. This hotel is extremely family oriented. In the morning they do water aerobics and kids activities by the pool and they play the exact same annoying songs every morning. In the evening EVERY night the entertainment is a kids disco. Again, playing the exact same annoying sequence of songs over and over every single day. There is absolutely no entertainment for adults like a singer or karaoke. They don’t switch up the schedule or the type of entertainment or the playlist. It is SO repetitive. Other hotels we’ve stayed at have kids entertainment until say 9pm then have something for the adults but that is not the same here. I can’t emphasise enough how irritating the songs they play for the kids are and it’s on repeat all day for 12 hours at intervals. The same songs over and over. So if you’re looking to relax and have adult entertainment this is not the hotel for you. If you have kids this is a fantastic place to stay. Another thing we found is that this hotel says it has a no sunbed reservation policy in place and yet there is no one outside in the morning that enforces this so people just leave their stuff all over the sunbeds and then disappear for hours. Food all tasted great and the desserts have a wide selection but for mains there isn’t much choice. If you don’t like the theme for that night you’re stuck with chips and pizza as for the themed main there’s only like 4/5 pots to choose from. The area it’s situated in is quiet. It’s a 15 min walk to the closest beach and about 25 mins walk to the busier promenade. Overall A great place to stay if you have children and don’t mind the constant focus on kids entertainment. It can be overstimulating and repetitive which a few days in just begins to be annoying and boring. The pool and amenities are lovely and the rooms are great. It’s scenic and the walk to the beach front or promenade might be a bit of a trek but is very nice and gets you away from the kids disco for a night.

We had an amazing family summer holiday at Vell Marí! The hotel exceeded our expectations. Here are the highlights, along with a few areas where I think there is room for improvement. Highlights: Impeccable staff – everyone was friendly, smiling, and approachable. Great food, with an almost completely different menu every day. The family room had everything we needed. Plenty of outdoor space. Very clean throughout the hotel. The all-inclusive drinks and snacks were consistently good. There is a small train that takes you to the beach. The beach isn't spectacular, but it's perfectly fine for a relaxing day. Areas for improvement: The pool rules are not enforced or followed at all, despite signs saying no reserving sunbeds, no diving, and no ball games. The plastic cups could be cleaned more thoroughly. I don't think their current condition is acceptable. When the hotel gets busy (as it did during the shift to the second week of july), the restaurant becomes crowded. Introducing staggered dinner times could help reduce queues. The grill station creates unnecessary waiting times. Cooking some items in batches would significantly speed up service. The indoor pool was surprisingly cold—even colder than the outdoor pool—which didn't make much sense. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would happily come back next year! Diogo Mendonça

A mixed review really . The staff were lovely at reception and room service and waitresses. The rooms were basic but worked . The pools were great but quite noisy with children . The food was mediocre really . Drinks were of a good selection .

We had a wonderful week at the Vell Mari Hotel. The hotel is set in lovely gardens. It is also low rise, max of 3 storeys I think. We had booked a garden view apartment but were lucky enough to have a garden and pool view. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. Spacious balcony. They were cleaned everyday. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We went all inclusive and were more than happy with food and drink. It is about a 15 minute pleasant walk to the local beach and a few shops. There is a very regular bus service to Alcudia at the back of the hotel. Buses are cheap. Would recommend going to Playa de Muro. Turquoise water, shallow, ideal for families. The hotel is very family friendly with a great entertainment team. Good value for money. Would thoroughly recommend.
