The Hotel Mariant was rated a 3 star hotel. There were some 200 rooms at a rough count - accurate details can be found from the hotel website. Half the rooms faced out onto an open area that was designated an early civilisation settlement and so gave a good outlook. if you were on the opposite side however, you would look out over more apartments and balconies. This was the shady side as well so it would not be much fun relaxing on your balcony. Our room, was on the sunny, open side, on the second of four floors.The ... room was quite adequate and was cleaned every day. The room tv was an old one, a 17inch model, tucked up high in the corner with only BBC World News as an english speaking channel. Our board was All Inclusive which was a new experience for us and worked out fine particularly when you could have almost any dtrink you wanted between 10am and 11pm. As it was a 3 star hotel, I was expecting the food to be ok. In fact it was excellent with a wide choice at both breakfast, lunch and dinner. At lunch and dinner there wetre always a selection of salads, 2 choices of fish and maybe 3 choices of meat (rabbit casserole, pork in a cream sauce and say chicken in a batter(. there was also a pasta and sauce dish and an adequate selection of fruit or sweets. Our holiday was booked as a CYCLING HOLIDAY through an English company using a German bike tour company. Although we were the only cyclists that week (first week of October), the majority of the guests were German simply because the hotel was used by numerous German tour companies. It did not really worry us most of the staff, although Spanish, spoke a smattering of English. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Mostly the guests were of the "mature" age and looked as if they spent most of the day in the sun. There were a few younger couples - we were in the 65 age range but spent every day bar one, out on a cycle ride either inland or along the coast. We would leave about 10am on a 45 km ride, get back about 4pm, have a cold drink then walk down to the lovely (but crowded) sandy beach (5 minutes walk away) for a swim. The sea was warm and clear - lovely. As I said, we went the first week of October and the area had a very nice friendly atmosphere - I am sure it could be somewhat different in August!! read more

I have made all my comments about the room under the heading "the hotel in general" - not realising thetre was a separate section for everything! There was air conditioning - no fridge and you were informed not to take drinks from the bar up to your room. We therefore bought some bottled water to use in the room. A safe was an extra (2.5 euros per day) and was located down in reception. I am sure the rules about taking drinks up to their rooms have come about as a result of people taking advantage of the facilities and causing inconvenience to other clients.

In October there were 2 nights when they had a DJ. The pool was clean and fine but not used very much. You had to pay for internet.

The hotel was an hours drive from the airport. It was a 2 minute walk to the Promenade and 5 minutes to one of two beaches. We were booked on a cycling holiday so each day we went out. There were details of excursions ftrom the hotel but it was all in German. However, all you had to do was to walk down to the Promenade and thetre cwere shops, restaurants, various outlets organising horse rides, jeep rides, sea trips etc.
