Lovely location for a place. Rooms were of a decent size, and the staff had a crib set up for our wee one, which was a huge plus. Also, they have a store on site that is open late which is fantastic when you need some essentials.
The decor in the room itself was just tired; stains on the couch, watermarks on the ceiling, and a shower that spilled so much water on the floor. Parking is street parking only so you have to get lucky to get a spot near the hotel.
Definitely comfortable and worth a stay if you are on a budget.

We had a nice time going as a family, maybe slightly overpriced if you are cooking for yourself and not using the buffet as the services provided in the rooms for cooking are not good.
What made our stay better was the entertainment provided in the day/night mainly led by Sandra, she was engaging, enthusiastic and amazing with everyone staying at the hotel and we definitely appreciated her company a lot. All of the other staff were also great.
Overall a very nice stay.

We stayed at HM Mar Blau for 7 nights and it was an adventure. We really liked the overall stay but there is some space for improvement. We had an issue with the AC, however the lovely staff immediately started fixing it and the issue was resolved fast. We weren’t super lucky with our room since it was a bit old and on the ground floor with no view. But at the same time it was located conveniently. The pool area was clean and big. The Hotels parkinglot was located right next to the hotel and always had a lot of space. The breakfast quality could have been a bit better but there was a lot of variety and the live cooking of Omelettes and the fresh fruits were our highlights. We got the friendliest service at the check-in desk. They helped us fast and quick with the smallest questions we had and got great recommendations for spots to go out to. We definitely recommend a stay in HM Mar Blau, with the addition of hopefully having a room with a better view.

The mar blau hotel is set in an ideal location set away from the hustle & bustle of the the main tourist strip & located a 500 MTR walk away from the beach maximum ! & Is just a short walk away for most , plus most areas are wheelchair friendly throughout the hotel with ramps that can access the pavement should you have a mobility scooter or chair & the pavements throughout the resort do cater for them also , which gives you access to the resorts many nearby attractions & the beach . The hotel is not a high rise building by today's standards & the blocks are about four storey's high , with both lift & stair access . The hotel although not on the beach front offers a more tranquil setting with some green areas that have well managed gardens & some tropical Palm trees & the like , which offer some shade in the hotter parts of the day & the light afternoon breeze makes a gentle rustling through their foliage , which adds to the tropical feel of the hotels vibe . The pool areas are clean & well provided with plenty of sunbeds & loungers , plus the more now on trend Balinese style sun beds which are available with a drink & snacks service package , which is a good option for those who want a special treat on their holidays . The pool areas have a lifeguard on duty & also have some activities throughout the week on various days such as pool Zumba & aqua aerobics which is a good bit of fun . The hotel also has a variety of entertainment for its guests & it ranges from tribute acts , dancing & early on before 9pm entertainment for the children , as it is a family friendly hotel ! , Irena Natalia & Sandra really did make the effort to keep the children happy under a watchful eye . The food here in the hotel here is of a very good standard & there are plenty of choices for the diner , which are available from the buffet & there are options for those who have certain intolerances to dairy etc & nut allergies , these options are displayed with notice information , which is very helpful . The bar area is well run & upon our stay waiting times for drinks were minimal & the quality of the drinks were very good ! Even on the inclusive basis ! . The rooms in the hotel are clean & spacious & well equipped with some cooking equipment & the like in the studio's , but we left it to the professionals as we were on holiday , but the options there if you want it . The staff here really in my opinion did pull out all the stops to make our stay a special one & to thank them all personally on this review would take forever & I'm sure like ourselves you always have a favourite waiter / waitress etc , but i did call some mi Nina as we felt like family at this hotel . This hotel is not the most expensive hotel & not the cheapest , but I think it is modestly priced & an exceptional value for money hotel . This hotel is a good choice for families & couples alike who enjoy good food & service & comfortable clean accommodation set in tranquil surroundings can only recommend .

We spent one week staying here. We arrived late (12:00- 1:00am) and the man who was at the reception wasn't very welcoming. It was difficult to understand where our room was but luckily we managed in the end. The room its self is out dated. There are two single beds pushed together, they do not stay together through out the night. Ants like to enter the room even if you do not have food in there. The fridge will make loud noises throughout the night as well. The cleaning staff are nice, feel sorry for some of the rooms they have to clean. Did make sure to make the beds so they didn't have too. The restaurant was lovely, the staff very nice in there. Food was great, with alot of options even for fussy eaters. We were all inclusive so I do not know how much it is normally to eat there. The bar staff are nice too, the drinks you can get with being all inclusive aren't the best. Also the entertainment is lacking, was very bored most evenings. There is a shop within the hotel which was great, very helpful and lovely staff. The pools were nice too, but annoyed with everyone hogging the chairs even when there are not using the pool. The area around the hotel is fairly boring. You have the beach down the road but its surrounded by hotels and spar shops. Every shop has the same things no matter how far you go (walked over an hour in each direction) all in all my 2 year old enjoyed it but I'm glad to be home now
