Wonderful stay at Mar de Cristal
Whole experience from booking to checkout was perfect. We arrived late but were provided with a code to obtain our key to the room. Room was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Outside solarium was wonderful but some maintenance need to the deck floor, which was a bit uneven. Staff were very friendly and we would definitely stay here again.

Communication was excelldnt both before and during our stay. Precise instruction enabled us to get accept to the room swiftly and easily despite our late arrival after Reception time. The room was clean and well presented just as described. Location was ideal for our stay with a bar and restaurant and good supermarket close by.

Terrible experience
October, business trip, low season looking for a good place to have rest.The site did not tell me about a great concert in the lounge bar of the apartments, and the room assigned was just above the bar. 2:30am and I was still awake. Apart from that, there was a lot of humidity and the apartment, the mattress, the bed, the sheets, everything smelled of moisture. The apartment is much older than what appears in the photos.

Réception shuts at 5.30 so need to arrange later arrivals. Large modern room with kitchenette and modern shower room. No safe in room. No tea/coffee provided. Comfortable bed. Limited housekeeping. Very limited dining in vicinity.

A Secret indeed!!
From start to finish - excellent! We asked for an early check in if possible, as we were meeting friends... no problem providing no other guest in room. Got there and they were cleaning room, we could sit in reception 30 mins or leave our belongings - 30 min was no problem as we were early. Lovely welcome from receptionnist, showed us our room etc. Went out came back and then walked the 30ft to the beach, then back to Arena Bar for tapas & sundowners. Having the kitchenette was an added bonus especially for that early cup of tea in the morning. Great position, spotlessly clean, brilliant air con, huge shower, lovely staff, would definitely stay again and have already recommended. Not a lot going on around but that suited us fir a little 2 night get away.
