Mar Blau

"What a beautiful place. 20minutes on coach transfer from airport. Upon arrival our room was not quite ready, we were expecting this as it was a morning flight. The lady in reception was wonderful. Very helpful and was willing to come and find us if our room was ready sooner. The apartments are approx a mile walk from restaurants, bars and the beach. This was not an issue for us but for people with mobility or elderly it could be a problem especially in the heat. The apartments were all single floor and spacious. We had one issue whilst there which was tended to immediately. It is in a quiet area which suited us perfectly. No fighting for sunbeds. Plenty of space around the pool and no rushing around. The bar at the pool we found was a little overpriced but adequate for the occasional drink and food. We tended to walk around the corner to the little supermarket to stock up on snacks and cans etc. It was even adequate to purchase food to cook in the apartment a couple of nights. The only downside was that there wasn’t an oven in the room but there is a hob and microwave. The complex was very clean and rooms cleaned daily with bedding change every other day. The outside area for each apartment is a lovely bonus with a small sea view if you are on the 2nd level. We loved our little black cat visitor who was sat waiting at the patio doors every morning. Reception were very helpful and always willing to answer questions and help. If you want a lively environment this isn’t your place however if you want relaxing, quiet environment this is your place. I would not hesitate to return. A gem of a place."

"Last night tonight, stayed here for 12 days through jet2 , I’ve got too say that in the twelve days we had 8 power cuts which isn’t the best , it stated that we 400 meters away from the beach which was a lie it’s a 19 min walk from the beach from the hotel which is not good if your partner has arthritis and can’t walk that far , taxis are over priced , public transport (buses ) and the drivers are rude , Son Bou itown is tiny , food is over priced and basically it’s a very expensive place too stay shame really disappointed with the place it’s beautiful but won’t return again , sorry Jet2 but let us down in my opinion and wasn’t worth the money, gutted is a understatement"

"MAGNIFICO! Mar Blau is a real gem if you enjoy peace and tranquility. Here's the stuff we liked: Apartments. Great space, clean, well appointed and all you need. Air con works well. Nice showers. Excellent to have your own wee terrace and area out the back with a washing line. Pool. Loads of space and sunbeds. Not an olympic pool, but quiet and what you need for a dip and cooling off and a swim. Gardens. Well appointed and maintained, leading to great views across the prat to Son Bou beach. Staff. All friendly and helpful. Efficient and well run. Tips. We didnt use, but plenty parking if you are driving. Room safe available, small cost for this. Shops Jardin de Menorca is nearer than San Jaime if you are carrying water etc. Laundry room, you might find a beach brolly in there if heading there- saves buying one! Books - hundreds there to swap. Water. Put a bottle in the freezer and it stays cool. Do - walk the Cami De Cavalls sections you can manage. You will not be disappointed! Stunning wildlife and scenery. Do - get to the beach and swim. Location - ok it's 15 minutes walk to main centre but reasonably flat and gets your steps up. Enjoy your stroll! Plenty places to eat."
