Hotel Maria del Mar

Stayed one night at this hotel. Kept awake with banging doors and a wake up call at 2.35 am. My complaint wasn’t logged, the response being a shrug of the shoulders. Breakfast was chaotic and needs to be logically laid out. E.g. tea bags at one end, hot water at the other and milk half way between!

The rooms are terrible, small, everything is old and broken, leaks on the walls, there was a constant flow of young drunk and drugged people, shouting and screaming at any time of the day, just terrible

This is a brilliant example of not judging a book by its cover on the outside of the hotel it looks well maintained and clean however it soon changed after a few nights at this hotel. we came on a school trip to the hotel. The first night was good especially after the 36 hour journey we just did prior. As the nights went on the hidden truth came through. Mouldy oranges, raw burgers and wilted vegetables not to mention the bed covers that had never been washed, as well as the balcony which was hanging on by several zip ties and our hotel which was severely damaged open arrival. Everyone thought that this hotel would be a good getaway from the school. But it most certainly was not. the rooms were not up to standard, which the pictures showed the walls were cracked and the bathroom tap and shower wouldn’t drain this is a hotel which has changed my opinion on Spain.

The staff were friendly. Rooms were tiny, not big enough for 3 people and. The rooms were clean except the bed sheets had stains on them. The bathroom door didn’t have a lock and the shower soaked the whole bathroom as the glass door wasn’t big enough, water pressure was not ideal. The walls were very very thin, you could hear a pin drop in the room next door. I left during the day with my suitcase open and crocs beside it, came back later that day after the cleaners had been in and tidied it to find out my crocs had been stolen! Searched the whole room and they were no where to be seen, complained and was told there was nothing they could do. Food was alright if you’re not fussy unlike me. Good breakfasts. lunch and dinner were very similar with a decent selection. Some dodgy chicken on our last night and mouldy oranges with flies out on the counter. Would not choose to stay here again.

The hotel was reasonable for the price but had a lot of problems the shower kept leaking out onto the bathroom floor creating a huge puddle and the toilet door didn't lock. During my stay I also had problems with the food. we loved the variety at every meal but some food didn’t seem to be cooked properly. like the chicken was pink inside. The rooms were small but we’re really comfortable and warm.

Reception was quite nice and the hotel staff were very kind and assisted with any problems that we faced. I came here for a school trip and our only intentions for the hotel were for sleeping and food, so I didn't mind if it wasn't the greatest. The good was very good and catered for any liking, the menu varied and overall enjoyable, there were a couple dodgy foods that probably were either not fully cooked or out of date but noone is sick yet so I don't think it wasn't the worst. The room was very much a tight area as it seems to have three bed squeezed into a room only designed for at most two, it really wasn't too much of a bother though since the only problem came to put our luggage somewhere efficient. I still enjoyed the room and it had everything I needed for my trip and the room service was nice, bathroom was a little annoying with no lock and water ending up all on the floor after a shower, fortunately it would dry up so I didn't mind it too much.
