“Very disappointed”

Mare Nostrum Resort

7 Dec 2007
7/8 found this review helpful

My stay was from 1st to 6th December 2007 (I booked my holiday 24th September 2007) and I had been to Mare Nostrum previously about four years ago and enjoyed it very much. I booked my own flight and then the hotel through [--]. I booked to stay in the Mediterranean Hotel but on arrival I was told I had been upgraded! No explanation as to why but I was to stay in a quieter hotel as I was a single lady travelling alone. I thought "ok - very thoughtful!" So... I stayed in the Cleopatra Hotel. My room was opposite the Piano Bar so singing until late hours and my balcony, which overlooked the pool, was opposite the theatre which had continued noise all evening bellowing out from a nightly opera showing! The rooms had plastic furniture (definitely not 5* quality - and bathroom very basic!) The breakfasts, I thought, were extremely good but the evening meals were bland and on a couple of the evenings the food was cold with problems with their hot-plates. On checking out of hotel I questioned again why I had been put into the Cleopatra Hotel and was informed that the Mediterranean Hotel had been fully booked since July last, so when I commented that my sister had stayed here some two weeks ago and had booked last minute and got the Mediterranean Hotel they announced that the travel companies buy the rooms well in advance and as she had booked through Thomas Cook her room was secured. Therefore, my advice to future holiday makers is that if booking to go to the Mediterranean hotel, through internet directly, beware that you will probably not get the Mediterranean Hotel because of pre-booking by holiday companies. Also, if you are particularly wanting a chill out time spent sunbathing by the pool the Mediterranean has the best offer of sun all day. The group of other hotels, including the Cleopatra tend to block the sun because of the high buildings. This hotel is no more than a 3* rating and since my original visit the standards have gone down. The positives are the beautiful surroundings of the Mare Nostrum Resort and location of the hotel.

3/3 found this review helpful

Stayed for a week mid November - booked into the Cleopatra Palace and decided to upgrade to a upper story room with a large balcony and plunge pool. Unfortunately, only got sunshine very early morning. Requested a change of location - and was accomodated as soon as a suitable room came available. (Worth while checking room aspect when booking) Staff all very courteous and helpful. Stayed on a B&B basis - food excellent. Facilitiies on site very good and a good beach in front of Hotel. Lots of off site restaurants to choose from suiting every taste. Would come back again.

“Where are the 5 stars service?”

Mare Nostrum Resort

29 Aug 2007
4/8 found this review helpful

I just arrived from this trip and I can tell that I was very disappointing with the global service.
Food always the same, dirty glasses, cups, forks, spoons, plates (I did find some sugar packets in the middle of the cleaned plates) and so on... The waiters were not very friendly (maybe because they were working 16 hours a day!) .
This is not a good place to bring your kids also.
Just terrible for the price we've paid and the service we actually been delivered.
All the things work if we complain! It's not supposed to happen this way!
My advise is : complain and you will be well served!

“Sir Antony Hotel - a little gem!”

Mare Nostrum Resort

Save Review
5 of 5 stars
Cardross, Dumbarton, Argyll & Bute

12/12 found this review helpful

The Mare Nostrum Resort in Tenerife consists of five hotels within a walled complex. Last year we stayed at Cleopatra's Palace but this time we tried the Sir Antony Hotel. Although some Trip Advisor contributors felt this hotel was a bit "tired" we found it to be absolutely fine. Ground floor rooms especially are delightful as they have small terraces leading directly out to the gardens and grassed pool area. The hotel staff are exceptional and should be rewarded for their genuinely friendly attitude to guests. They went out of their way to be of assistance. Although guests at this hotel can access all the facilities and attractions of the other four hotels in the complex, the other hotels' guests cannot access the Sir Antony making it more exclusive and private. Just over the wall is a fabulous beach and a resort-owned beach bar where the high quality food caters for all tastes. We highly recommend their gaspacho and bocarones. The complex is within five minutes walk of a huge range of designer shops and wide variety of restaurants from Italian to Indian and of course Spanish. Well worth a visit!

“Stayed in Julio Caesar”

Mare Nostrum Resort

Save Review
4 of 5 stars
London, United Kingdom
28 Jun 2007
7/7 found this review helpful

We were due to stay in the Med Place on the 18th of May, but when we arrived we were upgraded to the Julio Caesar due to building work around the pool at the Med Palace. The Julio Caesar was an impressive hotel with a lot of marble. Our room was spacious and clean. The best part of the hotel was undoubtably the breakfasts which were amazing! They included almost everything you could want, pancakes, cakes, pastries, cheese, fruit, cooked breakfasts, sparkling wine...

Our main disappointment was that we had booked to go on the hotel's whale watching boat on two different days, but on both occasions the trip was cancelled as a result of strong currents. The decision to cancel was always taken at the last minute, meaning there was little chance to revise your plans for the day.

Overall, a good holiday in a really nice hotel, with very pleasant staff.
