Apartamentos Parque Mar

Self catering, 2 bedroom villa with 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Hotel: Lots of space with grassed areas and sunbeds. The main pool is surrounded by gardens and is a good size with a couple of lanes for swimming, there’s an adults only pool and both of these are salt water (or semi salt as it’s not as salty as the sea). There is also a tiny, covered baby pool. We did not venture into the restaurant or use the bar, both of these are SHUT all day/night on a Saturday. The pools remain open so it was lovely and quiet. Villa: Fabulous size! We stayed in a two bedroom villa and there was a double bed in each bedroom (would have been better with two single beds in one bedroom as one of my boys had to sleep downstairs on the sofa rather than share with his brother!). The beds were comfortable and there are blankets if it dropped cold, but a couple of extra pillows would have been nice! We appreciated the two bathrooms, two great showers and two hairdryers. Good sized and well-equipped kitchen, no kettle so we used a pan to boil water for hot drinks. We hired a toaster (20E deposit that you get back). Two balconies and a terrace, though NO furniture on the balconies meant we couldn’t sit out, which was a shame…. There was a 6 person table/chairs on the terrace though and an airer for drying clothes. Wifi in each villa. The hotel reception is open 24hrs and the staff were very helpful and courteous. The hotel is situated away from the main resort of Cala d’Or and is a 10/12 minute walk to the Marina, which is beautiful and there are bars and restaurants. Then another 10 minutes to Cala d’Or shops and restaurants and a bit further to Cala Gran beach. Cala Petita beach is closer to the hotel and very picturesque and good for snorkelling. This fantastic hotel is situated on a rocky outcrop that falls into the choppy, deep sea. The rocks are interesting, and you can walk down the steps to look at the sea and take some photos. There is even a ladder to access the deep sea (for strong swimmers and the brave only!). *Though I would NOT recommend this hotel to families with small children who run off / wander off as the rocky outcrop is easily accessible. It only takes 1 minute from the back veranda of the villas or from the pools or play area and you are stood on the rocks looking down to the deep sea. It is not fenced off or gated and could be a hazard to small, unattended, wandering children. I think this is why it was mainly adult couples or families with older children and there were very few small children and NONE were running around and making noise – WHICH WAS PERFECT FOR OUR FAMILY! The hotel is so peaceful and quiet which is a fabulous. We stayed at the end of May so the weather was lovely and warm during the day and cooler on an evening so we did not require air conditioning, which is a good job as there wasn’t any! The villa doors are designed so you can open them fully or open them on a slant to only let cool air in and the sea breeze air is lov

Having returned from our second visit this year,once again absolutely brilliant time,in the capable hands of the management team of Maria and Gayan. The complex iin Cal a Egos is second to none, and we feel like it's our second home.We do go to other places ,mainland Spain and the Canary islands in particular but our Special ! hooray place is the tranquil park on the sea ( Parque Mar ). Nothing is to much trouble for the staff,including Margalida and Sandra on reception.The cleaning and maintenance staff are superb,the grounds are immaculate. Spending time in the heated swimming pool overlooking the Mediterranean sea ,watching the boats pass by is a totally relaxing experience.The restaurant both buffet and ala carte is great value, with a variety of fresh fruits and pastries together with a fabulous selection of dresses ,as well as themed evenings featuring menu choices from around the world.All the apartments are privately owned ,so it's far removed from the hotel bedroom experience and indeed the different types of properties make it stand out from a standard aparthotel type of venue.We can't wait to return next year ,June is already booked and September is a matter of organising the flights before confirming. Tranquil,relaxing way to recharge your batteries,and great value ,First Class !

Superb place for a quiet unexpectedly peaceful stay in a well manicured and efficiently run set of villa and apartments. The staff are professional and friendly, the service is good and not over bearing. The apartment grounds are well maintained and the views of the Mediterranean are quality. The village is close with decent shops, good bars and restaurants. The bus connections to Parma and the local region are good value. I will not hesitate to returning to Parque Mar in the future

We have been coming here for years and they never fail to provide a great experience for us. The apartments are perfect but be aware that some are not as up to date as others ,as they are privately owned , but they are all clean and spacious. The pools are great. One for general use for families to enjoy the space and one serenity pool for peace and quiet and a children’s pool . Two pools are looking out to sea. The gardens are well kept and beautiful. These apartments aren’t like any other. Perfect if you want a peaceful holiday. The staff here can not do enough for you to make your stay as pleasurable as possible. * **Not all apartments have air con , so if it is a necessity,rent a unit with it! See you next year Family Coleman

Ideal location in a peaceful setting close to shops, bars , restaurants in Cala Egos. Studio was basic but functioned perfectly for our needs. Nice private garden area with your own loungers, table n chairs etc. Any small issues we had were swiftly dealt with by the excellent staff on duty .. Michael , Sandra and the team. Very good pool areas with plenty Sun-loungers available . Would happily recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to return in the near future. G&S Beveridge Edinburgh

This was our second holiday at Parque Mar and we will return again in the future I am sure. It occupies a beautiful part of the coastline with immaculate gardens. The staff are very friendly and the pools are wonderful. I like that the accommodation is self contained so you have privacy but with the advantages of a resort. The apartments are a 2 minute walk to a nearby spar and only 5 minutes from the strip in Cala Egos. Around 20 minute walk to the marina and 10 minute walk to beach. cons I would say are that not every apartment has air con (definitely needed high season). Apartments could do with some cleaning products. More sun loungers could be added to pool area and night time entertainment could be updated perhaps but overall this resort is an excellent choice for both families and couples in the cala dor/egos area if you want to stay away from high rise all inclusive resorts.
