Apartamentos Maribel

We had a lovely stay here, I came as a single parent with my 2 sons….. the accommodation was lovely, the bar and pool were both great. The only thing I’d say is no night time entertainment so wasn’t much to do for myself and the kids on an evening, but in the day the pool was lovely… the pool opens to all the locals, wasn’t an issue but none of us speak Spanish so my sons couldn’t make friends easily….. I’d say this is a perfect holiday if you want a more quiet location….

The apartments are the best we have ever stayed in, the managers have thought of everything. We rented a 3 bedroom apartment through Jet2 for a week. Each of the bedrooms are large and well proportioned with very comfortable beds. There are shutters and curtains on the windows so it was nice and dark at night and there are air conditioning units in each bedroom and in the sitting room. There are 2 bathrooms which had brilliant showers. The sitting area is large with a dining table. There is a separate good sized kitchen with a big fridge and small freezer. There is an oven and a hob, kettle, coffee machine and toaster. The kitchen is well equipped with cutlery and dishes. Outside the apartment has a lovely terrace at the back overlooking the pool which is shared with 4 other apartments . The hotel has a nice restaurant and bar which is good value and there is a communal pool which can get quite busy with families. It is a 5 min walk to the nearest beach Cala Blanca which is beautiful. The hotel has bikes you can rent which is worthwhile as it’s flat and there are bike paths next to the roads. There is a local bus directly outside the hotel once an hour which goes to the beautiful medieval port town of Ciutadella. We had a wonderful holiday and you will too if you come here

Stayed with my husband and my mother in a 2 bedroom apartment. We were a bit early for check in but they checked to see if the apartment was ready and we only had to wait a few mins. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The apartment was on the 1st floor and was clean and well equipped. There was a bit of a smell from the drains the day we arrived but the maintenance man appeared the next day and fixed the problem. Our towels and sheets were changed once during our 1 week stay. There is a TV but we were unable to get any British channels. There is a pool but we didn't use it and a table and 4 chairs on the balcony. There is a bus stop outside the apartments as well as a taxi rank and reception staff were happy to phone for a taxi if needed. We ate at the restaurant one night and the food was lovely. For families there is a games room with a small soft play, table football, pool table. There are quite a few good restaurants and bars nearby and 2 supermarkets within a minute walk. Also a very short walk to the sea and glorious sunsets you can watch sitting in The Blarney Stone. We were very impressed with the apartments and would have no hesitation recommending them.

Great apartment with everything you need. Maids came in a few times to empty bin and leave fresh towels. Which was unexpected but lovely. We had a huge balcony which was facing the road.. But private and had a lovely view with sunset, so suited us. Only reason for 4 star instead of 5 was the bed was VERY firm and only 1 long pillow, so I ached every day ( but this may suit others) But I can't fault anything else. Lovely clean communal areas, pool clean and checked daily.. Needs a little update with missing mosaics around it..we got a sunbed every day. Bus stop right outside, all restaurants, bars and supermarkets on your doorstep . Would definitely recommend this place for a relaxing, chilled break.

We stayed for five nights right at the end of the season in a two bedroom apartment in a block away from the main pool area. Everything was great - friendly check in, clean rooms and a real homely feel with everything you need for self catering (even a full oven). Great wifi, smart tv with Netflix etc and BBC1,2,ITV1,C4,5 cbbc and cbeebies. The pool / bar area was a bit 'retro' like holidays used to be in the 1980's but this allowed us to chat to others, meet the staff and we soon realised that it was much more fun than lots of more 'modern' complexes we've stayed at. Yes the pool got busy with locals at the weekend but you get the feeling the company are engaging people who live and work in the area rather than alienating and isolating them from us tourists- whats wrong with everyone having a great time? It's not five star accommodation but we had a five star holiday

We came here for a week with our 4 children one who has severe autism and learning difficulties. There is a gate that is open on to a main road! This was a nightmare as our son is a flight risk so kept running out! Our food let also clocked the gate. The playground is not enclosed on the main road. The pool is open to everyone to use so mega busy all the time. Spanish kids don’t wear swimming nappies so weeing in the baby pool it was disgusting. The rooms are a walk away! Ours was ground floor with no gate and again on to a road so when we was in the apartment had to keep the kids locked in. The room wasn’t cleaned or towels changed on our stay. The hotel gets busy with kids party’s because of the softplay. The Spanish kids kept nicking our kids toys from the pool. I would not recommend or ever go back here!

The good: Great location between 2 fantastic beaches (Cala Santandria was our fave} Lots of good, reasonably priced restaurants nearby. Close to well stocked supermarkets. Apartment (1 bed) was spacious and well equipped: Sofa Bed in living area 2 a/c units (living area & bedroom} Large fridge freezer / hob / microwave & combi oven / Dolce gusto coffee machine Small play room for kids with soft play, table football, air hockey. The not so good: The pool was great BUT it’s not private, so anyone can use it for free with a small purchase from the bar. This meant it was always busy. It wasn’t a problem as such, but when you’ve spent around 3k on a holiday, a little exclusive use of pool for guests would be nice. It’s a minor ******, and wasn’t a deal breaker. Towels were changed every 3 days as they said they would, but bedclothes were meant to be changed after 7 days, and they weren’t. In summary, loved the location and the apartments were good. Wouldn’t hesitate staying again if I had the chance.

Clean and functional. We spent a week here. Apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Is central in Cala Blanca and has a decent pool, table tennis, air hockey and indoor play. Only had lunch which was good and menu was varied. Limited storage in bedrooms but manageable. Good base for getting to cituadella. We rented a car for two days to access north of the island.

Similar to the previous reviews, we have just finished a one week stay here as a family with 3 kids. We had a lovely stay and the apartments are fantastic. We stayed in a two bed room, which was set 2 minutes walk from main pool and reception. The apartments themselves are lovely and well laid out, with comfy beds. They are a 2 minute walk from a gorgeous row of restaurants that lead down to a panoramic view of the sea, 5 minutes walk away. It’s lovely of a night, nice chilled atmosphere and mainly consisting of families and locals. No issues with noise from the street in the apartment, although unfortunately ours was at the end of the block above a restaurant, so did get a bit noisy of a morning as they set up. However this wasn’t a major issue. The balcony did however overlook a quiet road which wasn’t the nicest view we’ve had when abroad, but still it wasn’t unpleasant. We loved the location which is a 5-10 minute walk from Cala Blanca beach, which is great for families. Of note, whilst the restaurant and pool were really nice and immaculately clean, they were open to locals all day. This didn’t bother me as I liked the fact they were more lively as a result, but I could see why this wouldn’t appeal to all, especially those looking for a quiet break. There is apparently another pool open to guests, but it’s certainly not obvious where it is as we couldn’t find it! Nonetheless we didn’t actively search as we liked the main pool. Of note, the staff are lovely as are people in general in Cala Blanca. All in all a great stay and we would return.
