Mariners Club, Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain

An attractive, sunny, family-orientated apartment hotel that avoids the high-rise excess and noisy crowds of a larger complex. A good location within easy reach of a picturesque harbour, a great waterpark, a lively resort centre and a magnificent sandy beach. There’s a notably friendly atmosphere, with many families returning year after year. Traditionally styled two-storey buildings surround an excellent pool with water features and a separate paddling pool for smaller children. Kids also have their own playground. Mature palms and colourful bougainvillea create the atmosphere of a sunny Mediterranean garden. The pool area is kept clean and tidy, and there are plenty of sunbeds and parasols dotted around the property. Simply furnished studios and apartments come equipped with the self-catering basics. Most accommodation looks out over the pool or children’s play area.  A well-rated restaurant caters to British tastes. The Mariners is consistently praised for friendly staff that work hard to create a sociable atmosphere and entertain children. There’s a mini-disco following on from daytime activities and enjoyable family entertainment in the evening. A highly recommend mid-size property offering good value for money.

Resort and location
You’re in a peaceful spot here, but still in a good position for getting out and about. It’s a 15-minute walk to the beach, and the nearest shops, bars and restaurants are just 10 minutes away. Alcudia Beach is only 900m away. Port of Alcudia is within easy reach. A popular waterpark is just 300m from the apartments

Is it for me?
The Mariners attracts families and couples. When it comes to entertainment, there’s plenty laid on here. Family competitions, bingo and live music are offered but the atmosphere is relaxed. Regular shows and a mini-disco for young children. There is organised entertainment with two professional shows a week.
