Club Martha's Aparthotel

Just returned from another great holiday at Club Marthas with my wife and 2 kids(8&5).

This was our third visit in a year and again were not disappointed. We got the room we requested and felt very at home straight away.

There were some improvements to the hotel since we were there in Oct 06 which gave it a bit of a lift.

The entertainment staff were again EXCELLENT!! (sam, femke, floor, rick, jeff, ronin, mike etc..) and do their best to get you involved (without mothering ) in activities. If you play volleyball though ,just beware or Ricks dodgy scoring!!!

Our two kids had a great time again and were disappointed when we had to come home. They played all the sports available to them and had a great time in the spotless pools.

The rooms may need a bit of a revamp and the beds are a little tired but i am sure the popularity of this hotel will finance these improvements in the future.

Club Marthas in my mind has got a lot to offer for family's and this was backed up by talking to people around the pool, some of which were on their 5th visit!!

If you want a quick getaway which is not going to break the bank then i would recommend this place to anyone!!

We booked Club Marthas on a self catering basis only one week before departure and paid only half the brochure price. All flights and transfers were on time and well organised.

The hotel reception looks recently refurbished and has a modern contemporary feel. We were dealt with efficiently by friendly hotel team, however since we had arrived at 12.30pm our room was not be ready until 2pm, however this was not unexpected. We had lunch in the hotel snack bar/restaurant. A reasonable meal at a reasonable price in clean and comfortable surroundings and friendly staff.

Just before 2 we checked if our room was ready, and it was. We had requested a ground floor room with pool view, and that is exactly what we got. We are glad that we had a one bedroom apartment, sine the studios only had day-beds to sleep on. As previous feedback had said, we found the room to be basic, but clean, and recent refurbishment has obviously focused on the bathroom, which was of a high standard.

Cleaning was 3 times a week, and to be honest not very thorough, towels changed 3 times per week, sheets changed twice per week, which we thought was acceptable.

We rented a safe deposit box as you would expect to do, but also if you wanted a remote for the TV (only 2 british channels) or a kettle/toaster/iron/hairdryer you had to hire those too, and the there was only a two ring electric hob, but you manage don't you? Aircon/heating in the room was no extra charge though.

Watch out also if you have a ground floor room with a garden terrace as we did, since the automatic sprinklers come on during the night and will soak anything that you have put out to dry! But you learn don't you? There were 2 sunbeds and table and 4 chairs on our terrace. As well as overlooking the pool we overlooked the stage where all the evening entertainment took place which finished at about midnight. So this would not be a great room location if you wanted an early night or had young children that you needed to get to bed early.

The entertainment team, of which there were about 8 of them, organised entertainment all day and every evening. The in-house entertainment tended to be the team miming to songs, for example, Sister Act, Moulin Rouge, Disney Films, and i must say they did a pretty good job. Twice per week there were professional shows, eg Rod Stewart/Elvis tribute, Cirque du Soleil type acrobats, again all pretty good. Daytime activities were all geared to every age group from toddlers to adults.

Out and about, Cala Egos is quite small, but has some great restaurants and bars, and enough shops. The best value restaurant we found was Tony's bar. His breakfast was great value and in the evening all the meals that we had were excellent. For your shopping try to avoid the local Spar, go to the supermarket at the end of the square (Eroski) its about half the price.

The Marina at Cala d'or is about a twenty minute stroll, and there is also a 'road train' that takes you there and back and into Cala d'or centre for 3€.

To conclude we had a great relaxing holiday, but i'm not sure we would have been as happy if we had paid the full brochure price. The brochure claims it is a four star, but i would say it is a good three star.

I can only say good things about Club Martha's. The accommodation was excellent clean and tidy with plenty of room for our family (wife and two kids 7 & 5).

The rooms were cleaned every other day which was more than enough. The blackout curtains and shutters meant that the beautiful sunshine didn't wake you up.

The balcony on the apartment was massive with enough room to fit two sun beds and a table and four chairs.

The entertainment was acceptable if not a little old fashioned, but it passed away a few nights.

The resort it's self was very good although we did find ourselves going into the town centre of Cala D’or which was much more lively and plenty of things for the kids.

I can highly recommend "Tonys Bar" just around the corner from club Martha’s. The food and service were always top class. Another favourite of ours was "Barlenova" in the centre of Cala D’or the food was brilliant with a litre of good wine at 8 euro's we had many a good night.

I'm already looking into going back next year, the resort and apartments are perfect for people with young families.

I've stayed at Club Martha's, twice now in recent years and have enjoyed it both times.

The staff were very helpful and I found that they couldn't do enough for you. Plenty to do, good location and good facilities. They even go out of their way to organise trips for you if you are not part of a tour package.

We used Martha's as a base to explore the island so the majority of our time was spent out and about finding all the nice beaches and landmarks.

To be honest, who goes on holiday and spends all their time in their hotel room? You go for the sun! So what if it’s a little outdated! All you need is a good bed, good shower, and somewhere to make a snack if you want it and Martha's provided all that.

And if the decor is not quite to your liking - go somewhere else! You get what you pay for - here you get a good deal.

Never seen a cockroach yet.

Can't fault you Martha's - See you again in June!

I went to Marthas with my boyfriend for a relaxing holiday and this hotel and surrounding area was perfect. It wasn’t too loud but it was lively and just what we wanted! Perfect for couples and families.

The pools were lovely however we did have some problems getting loungers. This may be due to the fact we went out to the pool too late.

Everything else was perfect, the restaurants and bars were 2 minutes away from the hotel but as Cala Egos is only a small resort, there was no noise heard coming from the town when you were at the hotel

The rooms were spacious and so were the balconies. We were particularly impressed with the bathroom which was lovely. Everything was clean and it couldn’t have been any better.

We loved staying at this hotel and if we visit Majorca we would not hesitate to stay here again!! Amazing holiday which I would greatly recommend.

We arrived at about 9.30pm in our room to find a cockroach sharing our bathroom.

The apartments were very dark due to over grown gardens at the back. Went to reception morning after asked to be moved the Thomas Cook reps were excellent and moved us the next day.

The new room was lovely the pools were great and the entertainment was fab, especially Sam. There was plenty to do but you weren't forced to do them.

We had a brilliant holiday and the Thomas cook reps were the best and so were the club Martha's entertainment crew.

Would definitely advise the speed boat trip and the cabaret night in Palma.

Would recommend this complex for people with kids wanting activities. x

Hello.

Well on the 19th of august I stayed at Martha’s hotel with my. There were 13 of us.

Our flight left at 4.15 and we arrived in Mallorca 4 about 7ish but with the 1 hour added time difference it was 8 o’clock. The coach never left though till about half 9 so we never got there till about half 12 on the night as we was the last group to be dropped of. When we got there this moody man there who I presume was the manger took us all to our rooms. All our rooms were apartments and they were all together.

We stayed in the Bolera part of the complex which we had our own greenery where we all relaxed during some days of our holiday.

I wasn’t very happy with the idea of my children sleeping on the hard sofa beds and a fold up bed that was originally out side and was just brought in for them to sleep on and my other relative wasn’t happy as it was the same for them. So we complained but they soon helped us out and sorted it.

Every morning the kids would all go down the pool about 9 till 12ish and then go back in on the night till about 7 till 8.3 put the pool did not close till 9.30 but once again that moody man told them its time to get out. The rooms were clean and liveable.

During the whole 2 weeks of the holiday we never really ate at the complex we always went out for diner and that apart from a couple of times when the kids got a pizza at the pizzeria. They said it was really nice.

The entertainment was good but we only saw 1 or 2 as we usually went to the Bogart’s club or the Yates. Which usually had live entertainment on every night, and snooker and pool for the kids to play when they got bored.

The beaches were very small but the water was extremely clean. The only fault is that there was a lot of jelly fish at least 5 of us got stung by one. My daughter got stung the worst four times at once. It stung for a bit but then just left swelled marks on her arms and legs where she got stung.

There as loads of places to eat just outside club Martha’s we usually ate at "the Corner" or "Toby’s Bar" they did very nice English food as well as other dishes.

While we were there we took all the kids to the water park in Magaluf. They really enjoyed them selves as well as us adults did. It was extremely good fun. We also went on the glass bottom bout. The kids loved that to as they could slide of the boats in to the sea. Usually during the day we went the beach. Cala’ D’or beach was good as you could rent pedelo boats out with slides which the kids once again loved.

Overall the holiday was brilliant and every single of us enjoyed our selves the weather was really hot and we all got good tans :D I would recommend club Martha’s for people with families who want to have a good time

We thought there would be very few kids as it was out of holiday season but we were very wrong. Not that we have anything against children but being woken early every morning to the sounds of the Molly Club singing "Ich bin Snappy das kleine Crocodile!" was wearing thin by the 3rd day!

The hotel room was clean enough. I have noticed on other reviews that people who had booked a 1 bed apartment were shown to a studio room - as we were - when they got there - it seems they try this on with everyone. We were moved into our booked apartment soon enough so if this happens to you, don't just accept it!

Overall, not a bad place and I can see the attraction for people with young families as the entertainment is good for kids. I wouldn't go back though and couples would be wise to avoid it!

We stayed here for just 3 nights at the end of July. The hotel was fine - it's only a 3* but everything was clean and worked ok. Bit noisy in the evenings until 12 pm but with a name like Club Marthas a lot of people expect and want this kind of entertainment.

The local beach - Cal d'Egos - has a huge problem with sewage...hence the title of this review.

Our first visit to it was about 2pm in the afternoon. You swim out about 20 yards and are suddenly engulfed by the most repulsive smell, coming from the drains of the giant hotels that front this tiny cove. The second time we swam we were actually surrounded by not just the smell but the real thing...floating, semi-treated sanitary pads, toilet roll...unidentifiable sludgy stuff.

The next day we went to Cala Gran, a 10 minute taxi ride from Marthas but a blue flag beach and the best in Cala d'Or in my opinion (although very crowded...you have to be a good swimmer to get past the crowds, then it's ok).

We decided to get up early and give Cala Egos a last go on the final morning. At 7.30 am we arrived...light but no-one there except a man in a little boat who was collecting all the sewage-related debris from the water !

Seriously, don't go anywhere near this beach until the reviews tell you they've cleared it up - there's plenty of alternatives. This part of the resort has a problem with stinky drains even on the streets...bit like Bangkok really.

My wife and 2 children (boy aged 14 girl aged 13) spent the second and third week of August at Club Marthas. Wasn't sure what to expect as previously read conflicting reports on this and other websites.

Discovered after the first day that Thomas Cook guests can hire a kettle and toaster for free(I believe others pay a rental fee). We were on 3rd floor in Clio block with large balcony overlooking a shaded grassy area adjacent to the football pitch - very quiet at night which meant we got a good sleep. Air con helped in this respect. Sheets were changed 3 times while we were there and we had about 6 changes of towels.



We used the pool to the rear of the complex-an area sometimes referred to as the" private apartments". It was never too crowded as opposed to the other 2 pools. Sunloungers went pretty quickly at all the pools but someday i noticed 1or 2 available after 10am.



There was a well organised daily activity programme for all age groups. Evening entertainment was bit hit and miss-some live acts and some shows put on by the staff who mimed to the music.



We tried the evening buffet on one occasion only. Food was ok but limited choice of main courses and we preferred to eat out in the many reasonable restaurants n Cala Egos. Of these I should mention huge portions at the Irish Bistro which was frequently booked out. The Argentinean pizza cafe in the pedestrianised area was very good -staff very friendly. Beatrice restaurant also good.

Club Marthas is about 200 yards or so from Es Forti beach which we preferred to Cala Egos beach (about 700 yards away) There were small jellyfish on both. There were also jellyfish at Cala D’Or beach when we went there.

All in all we had a very enjoyable holiday at Club Marthas. All the staff were very helpful and friendly, the apartment was clean and in good condition and the complex was well maintained.
