Mariner Club Apartments

Our family of 4 stayed here for 5 nights in October. We had a great time here and would gladly come back. I doubt you can beat this place in terms of value for money: the rooms are effectively equipped for simple meals and beds are comfortable. Air condition works and shower is decent provided you're not doing the washing up at the same time. Not a huge amount of natural light in the downstairs apartments but we didn't want to spend that much time inside and the balcony area was fine for 4 people. Rooms are cleaned and towels replaced twice a week. We didn't see any entertainment but it was October and our boys are probably a bit old for it now. The complex isn't huge so there aren't likely to be loads of guests vying for places to sit outside. They play lively music outside the bar area - not particularly loud if you are near the pool and nowhere near as bad as the nearby Jupiter and Saturn hotels. Supermarkets, bars and restaurants in walking distance. Beach 15mins walk but we were lazy and drove. The staff were very friendly including Mathilde on the front desk. Plenty of car parking outside and a nice garden surrounding the hotel with lots of foliage. Loads of sun beds. The bar area has a TV with sports on it and is good for relaxing in if you want time away from the sun. The games area is aimed at smaller (primary school age) children. There was a useful swap area here for people to leave inflatables or unused suncream behind for the benefit of those to follow. The hotel acknowledges that they are in a garden and love alongside lots of insects. They provide insect spray and two plug in repellents. Where this place lost a star in our humble opinion is as follows: 1) the pool is a good size but occasional tiles were missing. It wasn't a problem for us but someone somewhere might not notice and could get a scratch. Water was cold but that's what we expected in October. 2) we could hear people talking and moving furniture in neighbouring apartments. Again this didn't bother us as we are good sleepers but it was noticeable. 3) overall the place could do with a bit of modernization. If you want a place that is simple, effective and cost efficient, then look no further. The price is excellent for what you get, compared to other places nearby. Thank you Mariner Club team.
