Club de Mar Apartments

Just got back from a lovely week at the Hotel de Mar. Check in quick and efficient and the apartment was good, got a free upgrade to a superior apartment and an upgrade to half board from self catering. The food at the hotel is more geared up to the German/Scandinavian guests but it was fine, if we wanted English food we would have stayed in England! The upgrade did save us a fortune as the prices in the restaurants on the front are not cheap nor is the food very spectacular. Don't let this put you off, the place is a great way to relax and the weather is very good. The sunbeds round the pool were taken early but just get yourself there earlier and put your towels on the beds, when in Rome.....!! There isn't a great deal to do in the resort but a short boat trip gets you to other resorts (Puerto Rico is a dump though!) Mogan is not the best place for young children but it is by far the most attractive place along that particular stretch of coast and the Club de Mar is a charming hotel.

Stayed at Hotel club de mar in August for 2 weeks, checked in at 4 in the morning, reception open all night quick check in asked if we would like food said no thanks just wanted to go to bed. Room quite large king size bed very clean overlooking the marina, cleaned every day thoroughly. You can not book a late check out room when you book your holiday, you have to do it through the hotel when you book in, the hotel was fully booked we couldn't get one tried a couple of times but was a no no, we had to hang about for 12 hours till the bus picked us up not impressed with that at all. Stayed half board, the food was not very nice no selection, just warm, lots of germans and scandanavians food was geared up more for them not been funny. Pool towels on all the beds, but there is a rooftop and we got beds up there every day just put our towels on as well!!!! The harbour is very pretty and has a few shops and restraunts , all close between 11 and 12 no late nights here. Irish Bar there is 2 of them , There is also a restraunt next door to club de mar meals are ok , you get bread and sauces as a taster but beware you get charged 2 .40 euros whether you want it or not and Isaw one of the lads in the kitchen spooning all the leftover sauces out of the pots that were taken back and putting them in to a tub to be reused they were put back in to the fridge urgh disgusting these were left on tables any where from 1 -3 hours people dipping bread their fingers in to them. There is a English cafe does breakfast next door but one to Zoo, nice Italian in the square next to Irish bar huge pizzas and very nice. We went to Sioux City as the tour operators had organised a charity afternoon to raise money after the fires, this money raised was going towards putting some natural barriers in place, lots of peoples homes were destroyed and a large park of the bird park as well, had a good afternoon raised 8 thousand 500 euros. I don't think its cheap all excursions were expensive Sioux city was 54 euros if you were going for the evening glad we paid 15 euros for the charity afternoon as it is certainly not worth that much by the time you pick all the punters up we had been on the bus for 2 hours. This is a lovely place if you want a quiet holiday very relaxing weather was 27 most days very warm views are stunning had a really nice holiday (one thing that spoiled it was the dog mess they don't pick it up and one morning it was spread in front of 3 restraunts and not one of them came out and picked it up just got stood in and trailed yuk!!!!! wouldn't care they are all small dogs.
