Marins Playa Aparthotel

Just returned from a 10 night stay with my Husband and 2 year old in this hotel.
Officially a 3 star, I was really impressed, it was spotless, and everything from garden to pool was well maintained to high standards.
We had a 1 bedroom apt (in the II building) which I felt was a good size with substantial clothes storage with hangers. Hairdryer in bathroom, good sized sitting area including dining area. Kitchen very basic, 2 ring hob, an electric kettle but no toaster or microwave, it done the job for the odd breakfast & lunch, sat television but only 2 British, BBC news 24 and Eurosport, balcony faced onto entertainment /pool area and has a table and 4 chairs on it.
Maid service every day except Tues. & Thurs., towels changed everyday day.
Didn't eat dinner in hotel but food looked good and dinner approx.12 euro per person for eat all you want buffet/ BBQ. Lunch snacks were good at pool bar. 3 play parks for children especially good for toddlers with sandpits n swings etc.
Nice pools but a bit cold but okay once you’re in (one especially was ideal for my 2 year old as he was able to stand with the water only coming up to 70 cm at deepest), good on site big supermarket and kids/adults entertainment every night incl. a game of Bingo .
Access in hotel area was good for buggies /wheelchairs. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to families with young children and people with walking difficulties.
However the only slight downfall was it was 99% German and catered towards them although there was always an English translation but this didn't bother us too much, but may bother some people so I’d thought id mention it.
Hotel was at the Cala Bona side of Cala Millor which personally I preferred as you can walk into both resorts and it is situated one block back from fantastic long promenade , great location if you enjoy an evening stroll or cycle (as you can rent bikes/ roller blades on the front).
Beach is stunning with golden sand and kept very clean with showers dotted along it.
As for the resort as I mentioned before, the visitors are mostly German , but a good resort for young families, a ride on the open top Safari bus to the safari Zoo is a must for the kids. Not impressed with Glass bottom boat ride as was sold to us as a pirate adventure with entertainment for children and there was none.
All in all I would definitely go back to both the hotel and resort.
