Vell Mari Hotel & Resort

This is one of the best if not the best hotels we’ve stayed in for its star rating. The staff are endlessly cleaning the beautiful grounds. They are all polite clean and friendly. The beds are comfy, rooms huge. Food fantastic and drinks good. Indoor pool & sauna. Tennis great hit also. Bus to alcudia every 15min 4euro. Already looking to return in august. For the price I couldn’t fault a thing! Thankyou

This place was great 10days all inclusive with two kids! It’s clean, with food a plenty! The food was fine we could always find something we enjoyed! The staff were all friendly! (Unless you was picking an icecream to buy at the pool bar, nearly got man handled out of the freezer even though I had cash in my hand). We loved the pool, and the indoor pool when the weather wasn’t playing nice! The park on site was a huge hit as was the big one a five minute walk away! The entertainment was the standard holiday kids disco!! Followed by cheesy nighttime entertainment for the adults! It was my son’s birthday while away and the restaurant staff brought out a cake and sang happy birthday which was lovely! Yes the rooms are very dated but they were clean! If you want an Instagram worthy room maybe not the place for you! The cleaning team do a great job, fresh towels everyday and beds made! Thank you for a great 10 days!!

The good points. Very efficiently run resort hotel. Clean, well staffed, the hotel grounds were immaculate. Food was good quality, abundant and plenty of choice. Great for kids, plenty of entertainment , kids clubs etc. The bad points. On arrival we ere advised that we had been ‘upgraded’ from a Studio ( with a garden view, balcony, sunbeds ) to an ‘apartment ‘ a no extra cost. We did not consider it to be an upgrade as we had been upgraded to a view of a brick wall, no balcony or sunbeds. The following day, I spoke to reception and was moved to a better apartment without too much fuss. Although we had a hob and fridge, we did not have a kettle or pan to boil water to make an early morning cuppa. This rendered the kitchen facilities functionless for us. The door entry card d e- magnetised every day which made it a faff to get into our room. It would be great if there were an area of the pool which was for adults only, dodging inflatable flamingos , crocodiles, water guns and floundering children made swimming a bit of a challenge. The resort is a bit of a walk away from the seafront, a bit of a hike to trail youngsters to the beach. Overall we were very satisfied with the Vel Marie, the ******* shouldnt put people off, but may need consideration.

Clean hotel, cannot fault it at all there. Room was spotless and towels changed every day. All inclusive was good and the restaurant was good. Only thing we found that stops it getting top marks was not all the food in the restaurant was marked up so difficult to know if it was vegetarian or not. Maybe a vegetarian area would be better. Plenty of choice though. The lager and wine was not the best quality but we drank enough of it so can’t complain too much! The walk to the beach is about 25 mins and a few nice bars down there. Also a nice children’s play area about a ten minute walk Overall, would go back if I wanted to stay in the area again

Absolutely amazing family stay .Very helpful and friendly staff. Food amazing. Room was very spacious and clean. Entertainment was great. Definitely would stay again.Only one concern-pool too cold for this time.highly recommended to anyone. Thank you ever so much 💓

Fantastic place the staff made it too from cleaners to bar staff (joey) etc to restaurant staff and especially to animation team Mike ,spence,and angel the kids loved them and so did we always put a smile and laugh on your face .brill

we have just returned from a week all inclusive at the vell mari and had a fantastic time . the rooms were fine and beds comfortable ,a lick of paint here or there wouldn't go amiss but not dilapidated as some reviews might have you believe. rooms were cleaned daily and towels changed .A/C worked well. the grounds were immaculate ,very well kept ,i never saw anything lying on the grass ,the staff work hard to keep them looking pristine. watch out for the sprinklers as some of them seem to do a 360 when operating so you could get an unexpected shower when walking past. theres a lot of trees so you do get mosquitos ,not a major issue as you can get them anywhere and the look of the trees makes up for any mild annoyance, the pool area does get busy but we never had an issue with loungers , we were there for the first week of october so not peak season ,maybe at the height of summer things would be different but for us ,there were sunbeds available up to mid afternoon and no sunbed wars as detailed in the press lately, staff walk round every hour or so collecting glasses etc so theres no clutter. the poolside bar does the usual burgers pizza chips etc and of course a full range of soft drinks or cocktails ,what ever you fancy. the restaurant , food was first class ,varied hot and constantly topped up. the serving area is kept constantly clean . ive read some reviews slating the food and to be honest ,im not sure what some people are expecting but we all eat very well including my granddaughter who is super fussy . pork and chicken seem to be the main ingredients but the chefs are expert at different sauces and recipes so no complaints from us. where ever we were we had to be sure to be back for 8.30pm...mini disco time . my grand daughter absolutely loved the mini disco and i have to say that the animation team are first class, they helped make the holiday for her. the main guy , or certainly the guy you will hear before you see is ,Allesio , ,camper than a row of tents and the kids adore him for it ! the whole team are super friendly ,if you dont want to take part ,no problem ,they wont pester you but their enthusiasm is catching so theres always a good turnout for the various completions they do each day , the reception staff are friendly and helpful infact the staff throughout the complex are all the same ,friendly . they all acknowledge you as you pass with a smile and an Hola. when we were there 90%of the guests were german with some spanish ,only a dozen or so brits. no issues at all with that ,all decent people enjoying the sun. this hotel is as good as any we have stayed at in the past, better actually. ignore the negative reviews ,i found myself wondering if some comments were actually on the wrong site as our experience did not relate to them in any way. we had a blast and have nothing to moan about . Enjoy your holiday !!

I have just come back from holidays in the hotel. The hotel is nice, apartments are very clean. The decor a little bit dated, but this you can see on the photos. Plenty of fun for children. Free tennis courts, jacuzzi which is great. Staff is very polite and friendly. We have half board plan and breakfast was very good, plenty of choice for anyone. I wasn't too keen on dinners as there was not much choice for the meat. Usually chicken or pork, I believe this has to do a lot with German tourist, as 99% were Germans. Meat disappeared very fast. Dinners, not too great. Tables and loungers by the swimming pool could do with some cleaning.

I was there on a 2 week holidays this year on september with my brother. Flew from Poland with TUI Advantages + +Big, nice pool +Great sports fascilities (football and tennis in price) +Nice, polite staff +Good Animations +Bike rental available and at fine price +Spacious rooms +beautiful garden, trees +spacious hotel area +bus stop next to the hotel Disadvantages - -big price for the quality, if that hotel was 3 star and costed not 1700 euro (7800pln) but 1400 euro(6500pln) for 2 weeks (in trip office TUI for a whole trip with flight) it would be quality adequate to price, it should be a 3 star hotel standard, i don't undestand how it has 4 stars -paid drinks like mojito on allinclusive, ice creams in drink bar also paid, such a shame, very pathetic, i would understand some expensive champain or whiskey to be paid but mojito ? It is one of the most popular drinks, ridiculous -coca cola, sprite watered down, tastes worse than low quality freecola from lidl not like the original, not acceptaple at allinclusive 4 star hotel -room standard lower than 4 stars, it is 3 star standard -rooms in need of renovation (unstable beds in 2 different rooms, walls, fugues dirty in bathroom) -food very often too salty -repetitive food, once, twice a week there is better quality meat like lamb -food very often cooked carelessly (Example hard rice, a lot of fishbones) -Food often cold -lunch is between 12:30-15:00, should be up to at least 16:00 or 13:00-16:00 -staff starts to take food 3 minutes before ending of a meal time, in every well respected 4 star hotel in europe staff waits 5-15 minutes to end meal for a customer after ending of meal time, it is not a train or it is not supposed to be low quality hotel, i would understand after dinner when staff wants to go home, but after breakfast or lunch ? They are still at work, and in the food room there is a lot of people like 20-30 percent of the room. Consider changing hours of meals or train staff to wait that 5-15 minutes. In many hotels in Spain i have been to that was unacceptable -food rarely changed 30 minutes before ending of meal time, if you want to relax and wake up late tou need to eat cold food very often and you have less choice of food, unacceptable for a 4 star hotel -paddle tennis paid, quite expensive, and it is officialy not in hotel hands but in private hands but on the hotel area -cold jaccuzi in spa, another argument why it should be a 3 star hotel, paying for a quality and you get something like that, ridiculous -pool available from 10-18 why not up to 20 or 21 when the sun comes down way later than 18 ? -mosquitos in hotel area To sum up. It should be a 3 star hotel, food is average, sometimes there are good dishes but very often too salty and carelessly cooked. Hotel better for families rather than old ones or pairs. Nice staff, pool and garden. It would be good for lower price and if that hotel were marked 3 star seriously.
