HM Martinique

"We stayed at Hotel Martinique, Magaluf, expecting a family holiday, and it was an absolute disaster. From arrival, the experience was stressful and chaotic, especially with a 7-year-old. The hotel is not family-friendly at all. It is dominated by people whose main aim is to consume as much alcohol as possible, partying and shouting at all hours. We barely slept the entire week due to constant noise, arguments, loud music, and even a flock of cockerels crowing from 2 a.m. Reception staff were polite, but all other staff were overly strict, rude, and had a terrible tone, making it even more unpleasant. The food and restaurant management were shocking. On several occasions we spent up to 25 minutes in a queue just to get food. Meals were often lukewarm, undercooked, and tasteless, forcing us to eat out most days despite paying for all-inclusive. Drinks are very poor quality – apart from beer, spirits are extremely weak, cocktails are machine-made, and you have to pay 15 euros extra per day for anything better. The one positive is that the hotel is spotless. The cleaners work tirelessly to clear up all the mess left by the partygoers, and their efforts are genuinely impressive. We are a hardworking small family who simply wanted a relaxing break. We have never complained about any holiday before, but this was stressful, exhausting, and deeply disappointing. Do not book here if you are a family. This hotel is a party hotspot, completely unsuitable for anyone looking to rest or spend quality time together. Save your money and book in the near by Melia hotels."

"Great location, within walking distance to the beach and town centre. Bus stop to Palma 3min walk from a hotel! Buses regular and on time. Hotel staff very polite and helpful. Good atmosphere in general. My on suite double room was clean and spacious! I'd say very good value for money. High noise level but that's just guests being disrespectful. Nothing to do with a hotel as such. Large dining area with good amount of food selection. I only had breakfast booked and there was plenty to choose from! All in all, I'm very happy with my stay and really enjoyed my holiday! Would recommend!"

"Pros: Breakfast was amazing - however if you went after 10 pastry and fruit options very limited Staff friendly On site shop has everything you need Sometimes sunloungers were busy but you could always find somewhere Cons: Room was a bit shabby, fridge didn’t close properly We came in mid August before and it was really rowdy, this time there were a few groups playing music but nothing major - seemed to shut up at 11pm Deposit of €20 for a kettle seemed a bit harsh"
