Marvell Club

This was the 2nd time we, as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children aged 12 and 9) have stayed at this hotel.The staff are very friendly and helpful, always smiling and what’s even more impressive is they even remembered us from last year. Special thanks to Elena, who always had a smile and time to talk to us and Ana (who even stayed late to make sure we got off safely!).The rooms are a perfect size for the 4 of us, a separate bedroom for the adults with a built in wardrobe, free of charge safe, comfy firm mattresses and a TV. In the main living room there was a daybed and pull out bed (with legs) for the kids so they also got their own beds and a big screen TV. Bathroom with walk in shower and the usual free toiletries and towels. We had a small kitchenette with double hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and pots and pans, cups, utensils etc so we could make our own lunch in the room if needed. We were on a half board (food only) basis and I have to say the food is absolutely amazing, We have stayed in 5* hotels that don’t even come close to this. The key here is quality over quantity, although it’s a buffet, they don’t try and cook everything under the sun, they have a nice mixture and its cooked to a very high standard and chefs are on hand to cook fresh omelettes and fried eggs in the morning and fresh meat etc in the evening. We never had any issues at breakfast or at dinner. The wine list is also very good with a varied range of prices with the option to buy a glass or the bottle. The hotel is immaculately clean and tidy, life guard on duty around the 2 pools in the day and you don’t have to get up a silly o’clock to get a sun bed, we could easily come down at 9:30-10am and find enough beds for the 4 of us. The kids enjoyed the slides and the mini games put on by Enrique the entertainment manager during the day, there are also 2 pool tables (1 inside and 1 outside) and a table tennis table. There is a snack bar by the pool serving food and drinks during the day if you don’t want to go outside for lunch. The hotel is located close to shops and bars/restaurants that show British football and serve “British” food and is within walking distance of the beach and the shuttle bus and boat to San Antonio town. We got a Taxi from the airport to the hotel and it was around €28 each way and took about 25 mins (all taxis are metered so they can’t rip you off!). All in all a great time and a very relaxing break, we will be coming back next year!.

Lovely modern hotel. Every where was very clean and tidy and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was good but the evening meal was served quite late especially for young children. The pools were lovely with lots of water features to keep children entertained.

Not worth 4*. We had to move rooms on arrival having booked a family club room that had no balcony and didn't look into the play area. On moving rooms someone else was at reception complaining about their room. The entertainment in peak season is very limited. No kidy disco, bingo once a week, archery (aimed at kids), told by local rep to use someone else's hotel for better entertainment. Dining area is cold which made the food cold. You can't eat outside. Clean hotel good for toddlers but lacking in atmosphere. Building site next door. The a la carte restaurant isn't included neither is water with the evening meal.I have never felt so disappointed with a hotel, not value for money. I don't recommend.
