The great and direct acces to the sea water is so great and compens all the others little mistakes.
Is simple but well located and easy to find by car.

We stayed here for two nights in early august. The hotel was basic and clean, but a little dated in places. However some little touches had been made to some of the older parts of the room to freshen them in quite a quirky and interesting way (we had a very old, but functional, fridge that could have looked awful but instead had been painted green and just look kind of cool/funky). My wife and I had just stayed in a boutique hotel on the other side of the island and clearly this hotel was not in same class, but it was clean, simple, and fun.

What really makes this hotel is the location. Set on a outcropping above a narrow and boat-less bay the hotel has beautiful views of the sea and the sunset. Breakfast is served on the terrace and you can walk down a short flight of steps to some flat rocks where many hotel guests, and a few guests, sunbathe. From here you can either use the ladder to climb into the water or simply dive straight in. While we were there a number of local children were diving off a nearby outcropping some 20ft above the water. The water is deep and clear here and people are regularly swimming here all through the day. It is roped off from boats which makes it that much nicer.

As well as its proximity to the beautiful waters of the Mediterranean the hotel is also only a short, 5 - 10 minute, walk from the Old Town of Ciudaella. This makes it easy to get in and out of the town and all of the great restaurants, bars, museums etc.

We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it!

Had a very nice stay at Mar Blava. The hotel is very clean and well-run by Antoni and his two sons, who all speak English and are very courteous and helpful. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the inlet and out to the sea is wonderful. The location is great---out of the fray but only a 10-minute easy walk to the town centre. We were shown two rooms on arrival. The first was quite small but the second was a nice size, with a view of the sea. Nothing fancy in these rooms, no air conditioning, no double beds, no toiletries. But the ceiling fans did the job and it was very quiet around the hotel. The pool was really refreshing. Great price. Internet/computer in the lounge wasn't always available/functioning. This is a wonderful hotel in its price category and we were quite comfy there.

Family run budget Hotel that is oh so tired and in need of attention - but I wouldn't let this put you off. You can swim in the sea from the rocks outside the Hotel's position overlooking the sea. Lovely to sit on the terrace having breakfast or a night cap and only 10 minutes walk into town. Owner recently retired and has passed business to his sons who look switched on enough to make this a lovely boutique hotel. The rooms are dated and you can tell that it is maintained on the basis that when it breaks (and that can happen any time with any thing) they will fix it or prop it up. I hope the owners read this review; you have good staff and the potential to turn a run down, tired hotel into a super, profitable concern. Good Luck.
