Perfect stop for some RnR. Loved the private deck overlooking the water. The fully stocked kitchen in our suite was a nice touch. Parking was free and within steps of the front entrance. We definitely will return.

We had an amazing stay. The location of the apartment was excellent with an amazing view. The apartment was well equipped although some of the fixtures and fittings were tired and could do with replacing eg coffee table shelving units. Decking on terrace bit wobbly and some.furniture broken.

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.

New Year break

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.

We had the pleasure of this little quiet place right on the edge of Mar Menor. On arrival greeted nicely. By mistake from myself i had accidentally left out our 7 year old daugther from the booking, which caused a bit of planning with extra bed etc. So all in all check in went smooth. The place is a charming building with different pathways, big solarium, and patio with a jacuzzi which also are used by kids to play in. Very quiet area, even though there is possibilites for breakfast, finer dining and lunch. Beach is a stone throw from the entrance and perfect for children. All in all recommendable and we appreciated our stay there

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.

2/10 Poor

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.
