Siesta Mar Apartamentos

There were three of us on holiday, myself , my husband and my sister. We booked in to a downstairs apartment on the complex. We had two separate bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room. The breakfast was good with lots of choice. The swimming pool was lovely albeit cold when you first got in. We always got a sun bed when we went down to the pool. It has a good location for the supermarkets on one side and the restaurants and bars on the other. The staff were helpful and polite and the complex was kept clean and tidy. We had an enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Just got back from a week staying at siesta mar apartments as a family of 6 with two young kids and we were really impressed! In my opinion the negative reviews should really be ignored as the apartment was lovely! Everywhere was super clean, the three pools were great, the staff were very attentive, the park was great for our eldest (2 years) and the breakfast had a great selection to suit us all with different variety daily. Siesta Mar beat our expectations, huge thanks to the team for a lovely stay.

We visited at the beginning of the season so appreciate many facilities and bars and restaurants are not open yet, but unfortunately the disappointing accommodation did not compensate for the lack of things to do in the resort. First and foremost, the wifi provided at Siesta Mar was terrible. It was incredibly frustrating not being able to check your phone or use tablets. This lack of internet access greatly impacted out overall experience and convenience. The bathroom is in need of updating and was another let down. Outdated fixtures, worn-out amenities, and a general lack of maintenance detract from the overall comfort and cleanliness expected from a 3-star establishment. I see there are complaints on here dating back to 2018/7 about the sub standard bathrooms, it looks like they have not been addressed. Our shower was not being fitted properly, requiring you to hold it, which is not only inconvenient but also reflects a lack of attention. It’s disappointing when basic functionality is compromised. The noise level at Siesta Mar was far from satisfactory. Being able to hear people using toilets in neighbouring apartments is highly disruptive and would wake us up through the night. The lack of privacy is concerning, as people can access your balcony from the stairwell and peer directly into your apartment. This invasion of privacy undermines the sense of security and personal space that guests should feel while on holiday. It does appear that privately owned apartments have added doors, I would recommend this for all apartments. In terms of security, the setup at Siesta Mar is inadequate. While there is a gate with a pin pad on one side, the lack of a fence on either side renders the security measure essentially pointless. Guests should feel safe and secure during their stay, and this oversight is a significant concern. Especially if you have children. We were unable to use the rotating fan in our room as it hit the air conditioning unit, it didn't work at all in the second bedroom. The AC units that we had remote's for were stuck on 22 degrees so were also pointless, not a huge problem as whilst we were there as it was raining most days. Overall, based on our experiences, Siesta Mar does not meet the standards of a 3-star hotel. At best, it can be considered a 2-star accommodation. To provide a more satisfactory experience for guests, a substantial renovation project is necessary to address the issues mentioned above and bring the facilities up to the expected standard for 2023 and a 3-star rating.

If you're looking for a quiet relaxing holiday then this is for you. The apartments are fairly basic but very clean. They are spread over quite a big area with 3 different pools so if you want to be nearer the breakfast restaurant/reception then you need to make sure you book where you want to be. Breakfast is at the nearby Sa Païssa restaurant, a three or four minute walk from our apartment, with plenty of choice of food. We went at the very end of August and it was quiet, no fighting for sun loungers, had one of the pools to myself quite a bit. Lovely poolside bar at the busier pool. Staff friendly and helpful. On an evening we ate at either Sa Paissa, Samoa or El Pulpo ... all three equally good. There are others but they didn't open til 7.30 and we preferred an earlier meal. We visited Cova d'en Xoroi which was great and took a taxi into Mahon one day which cost about 17 euros, otherwise we just stayed around the complex with an evening walk down to the beach. One minimart right opposite the complex and another two within a few minutes walk. There was a few bars within a few minutes walk (irish bar / village pub / sports bar / cocktail bar but we never actually used them.

Apartments desperately in need of an upgrade, very outdated, although clean. Pool area had green algae around the edges If you go half board you have to eat at Sa Piassa, where you have to choose from a limited set menu every day which doesn’t change- food awful too! Calan en Porter is like a ghost town resort with only a handful of spaced out bars and nothing else there. My advice is go somewhere else on holiday !!

Absolutely love this place, came for 4 nights at the end of season last year and returned again last week for 7 nights. The accommodation is just perfect and very clean, it is situated in a prime location close to the bars and restaurants and not too far from the beach (which has a lot of steps). We stay around the pool and enjoy the sunbeds and the pool bar. The staff are all super friendly and really helpful I know we will be back again!
