Majorca Hotels Guide

My family have stayed here around five or six times over the past seven year, we have always found Club Mac to be exceptional in all aspects, entertainment,service, pools,rooms, room cleanliness,food,and overall customer satisfaction.

ClubMac cannot vet its residents and neither can we, so live and let live, buy a book and chill at the beautiful beach.

Had a good time at Club Mac Marte, just got back Tuesday. Went for two weeks and it was a bit to long.

First week was OK just nice and not to busy, 2nd week they opened the third hotel because it was high season and with same amount of staff it was crazy. Massive queues and less staff only 3 bars opened outside and only 1 restaurant at lunch time but don't be put of. Pools were brill and entertainment in the evening was well good for kids and all.

If I was to go back it would have to be out of high season.

I went to this hotel in September 2007 and I am going back there in 2 weeks time.

Great food, lovely staff, endless drinks, kids loved it.

I hate the way people slag this place off - you get what you pay for!

My holiday in Hotel Jupiter was very good,

I really enjoyed it, it was one of the best holiday's that i have been on. They have like a fair and park, it is such an enjoyable holiday to be honest.

The entertainment was brilliant especially for the children, they include them in a lot of the things they do.

I do recommend for someone to go there. I hope to go back sometime soon.

Just gotten back from a week in the Jupiter hotel in this complex.

After reading the previous reviews AFTER I'd booked it, I was expecting a horror story, thankfully, I couldn't have been further from the mark.

Food: plentiful, hot enough, and restocked regularly, a bit of a queue at peak times, but nothing over 5 minutes waiting outside the dining hall, themed days worked well, with the staff all garbed suitably.

Food included, pasta's, pizza, paella, different fishes, various pork/veal combinations, chicken things, plenty of salad stuff, chips.

Three main meal times, with snacks available in between, and burgers/hotdogs/chips available between 10pm and Midnight, for those after beer munchies. :)

Room: Had a family - two bedroomed setup on the 9th floor, (7 lifts, 1 out of action most of the week) cleaned and beds made daily, sheets changed on request via pre-made card placed on bed.

Two TVs, front room, and kids room, both were a linked Pay Per View, €3/day or €17ish for the week, had Sky Sports 1/2, Movies, Disney, kept the kids quiet while the missus and I had a siesta in the other room mid-afternoon.

Balcony overlooking the street, rather than the rest of the complex, not the worst view in the world, but not a sea view, but definitely not unpleasant.

Drinks:

Alcohol: San Miguel in small glasses/plastic cups, no Cerveza Grande's here, but can order as many as you like.

Same goes for the spirits, any spirit you can think of, and any cocktail you can dream up - presuming you can explain the ingredients to the staff, there's no cocktail menus. All spirits non-branded, but not bad with mixers.

Queues for the bars sometimes took 10 minutes to clear.

Non-alcoholic: Pepsi/light, 7-Up, Lemon, Orange, multiple flavours of "slush", coffee machines in hotel lounges, with semi-reasonable (so the wife says) tea bags provided.

Pools/Sun Beds:
Pools weren't overly busy, but the sun loungers with the best locations (ie nearest the bars) got snapped up fairly early in the day, but there were nearly always places available if you spent 5 minutes searching.

Entertainment:
Daytime: Too busy drinking, sunbathing by the pool and reading my book to notice, but I heard the reps organising various sporting events, such as volleyball, darts, erm wasn't listening too hard to be honest.

Evening:
Movie shown every night for the kids, nothing massively recent, but enjoyable never-the-less, likes of Night at the Museum, Monster's Inc, Shark's Tale.

"Circus" - amphitheatre area, kids 'mini disco' at 8pm (never attended, can't comment), plenty of seats for the evening show, which on the nights we attended were a Beatles tribute from Russia, a magician, whose acts were too small to see from the outer circle seats, Vanessa Mae tribute violinist/dancers and a Britney Spears tribute (which I personally thought was awful, both because it being BS, and because it was awful). For those so-inclined, there was a Euro prize bingo every night at 9:15, €2 a ticket, line prize was usually in the region of €115, with full house around the €400 mark.

In the other lounges there was usually a different music duet, which again wasn't the best, but didn't have me rushing for the earplugs either.

All-inclusive yet Non-included stuff: (that I can remember)
Pool tables: €1.50
Motorised Cars: €5
Bungie Jump Trampolines: €5
Pedalo's: €5 (I think) - after 12:30, free before
Inflatable Ball you run across the lake inside of: €5 (funny as heck, recommended)
Crazy Golf: €10 (I think) deposit, returned on return of clubs and ball.

There's a hotel bus every 30 minutes to take you to and from the beach, which is otherwise a 20 minute walk, though not a straight forward one, so taking the bus is recommended.

Only a couple of downsides that I observed:
The Burger hut near the pool/lakeside area was closed all week.

I couldn't convince the guy doing the fried eggs at breakfast NOT to turn the bloody things over!

But the most annoying, and the only thing to let the week down a bit, the corridor facing walls were paper thin, and people coming and going along the tiled corridor, at all hours of the night, was bad enough, but the freakishly loud doors slamming shut was quite a downer.

That aside, I am glad I went, and was pleasantly surprised at how much it differed from all the negative comments I had read about it, but that could be because of the re-branding and stuff that apparently happened at the beginning of this season.

My self and my partner stayed in this hotel in2006, with my two children aged then 16yrs and 11yrs.

This was the worst holiday I'd ever been on. There was poo in the wash-hand bas in the reception toilets, poo in the pool they closed it down to clean, so we used the other one, came back down the next day when the pool was reopened, and there was still poo in the pool, plus cockroaches in it.

One night people decided to throw melon's from high up in the hotel, don't know how it missed us. Same night a group of lads through the tables and chairs into the pool, and it was like pram-land, awful.

We stayed in the family room of the "Jupiter" - sister hotel to the "Club Mac"- in June 2007.

As I was 6 months pregnant I was able to relax knowing that my 2 girls were having fun with so much for them to do all day and in the evening.

The food was great,the rooms were clean and the entertainment was OK too.

Would definitely go back again!!

We were a family of three age range 28/33 & age 2.

We stayed here in May and it was fantastic clean, lovely grounds, food could get boring but well worth the £450 we paid for a week!

Entertainment was good for adults and children, staff were pleasant. I would go again in May but would not like to go in the 6 week holidays as I can imagine it would be like a riot lol.

You get what you pay for! Good value for money!

Holiday from hell!

Went there with our three kids in September 2008. Couldn't wait to go home, food wasn't great, entertainment was the same every night.

Don't waste you money going to this hotel.

This hotel is the best hotel I have ever stayed in, clean and tidy, only down side is that you have to tip the maids to get your beds changed. Stayed for a week and didn't want to come home.

Beaches were like paradise as they were spotless with clear water.

Just got back from a 2 week holiday there and had a great time.

Stayed in family room in Saturno, which was very clean, and cleaned daily with fresh towels and sheets when requested.

Staff constantly going round complex cleaning, and do a good job.

Entertainment staff are great, there is always something going on to occupy you if you want to join in.

Wide choice of great food in the restaurants, can always find something to suit all tastes. Can be noisy due to size, and people not controlling their kids.

Very lively complex, so avoid if you want a quiet holiday, otherwise you should have a great time.

We've never enjoyed being home so much! Really noisy and busy all day and night, far too many people in one confined space!

We spent most days at the lovely beach. Would not recommend it at all unless you would like a Butlins in the sun!

Just arrived home after a two week stay. It was my third visit to Club Mac.

I must say all the entertainment team are fantastic, we had terrible weather, everyone sat in the hotel most nights and no entertainment indoor. One night there was a 3 peace band playing to empty tables and chairs every one was inside because it was pouring with rain. They need moor things going on indoors when weather is bad.

Rooms are cleaned every day, food very good, daytime entertainment very good for families. 3 hotels and only two restaurants a bit overcrowded.

Stayed 1 week in August 07 & going back again this August.

- Food OK & plenty of it.
- Hotel rooms small & basic but most important they are clean.
- What I liked best was that the kids were content in the various pools throught out the day & the evening entertainment was good for them. They really loved it.

Would recommend, good value for money.

Great entertainment, great booze, food out of
this world.

Unbelievable. Everything is deadly except the bullfighting, never go near it. I warn you!

Came home on Tuesday and very glad to be home, the food reminded me of school food and my 2 year old wouldn't touch it.

Lots of people ended up eating out! Hotel full of very noisy, people who like to slam doors at night.

Beware I'm going to rent a Villa next year!!!

We arrived home last Saturday & wish we where still there!

It is the 1st time as a family we have stayed all inclusive and I am glad we did. Food good with lots of variety. We where lucky to have glorious weather, so made the most of the pools and out-door activities.

Would gladly recommend it to any family, but not those couples looking for a quite romantic break !

I stayed there in june 2007.

The food was nice and the entertainment was brilliant. The only problem with the hotel/s being so big is that there are never enough seats at the entertainment arena (unless you missed your meal and got there early).

I prefer a much smaller hotel where you are treated as an individual, but overall me and my daughter had a fabulous holiday.

Butlins abroad... If you like just being with all British, this is for you.

I have been three times and I have loved it.

Everything is brilliant. I would definitely come here again.

Brilliant holiday. Been five times and will be going back next year.

I go with my daughter and son in law and grandchildren who all love it as well.

There's loads to do an great choice of food and drink and a lovely clean place.

I would recommend it to any family .

Fantastic!

Had great time and would go back again. Entertainment brilliant.

Recommend to anyone .

Fantastic place.

Everything first class, food absolutely excellent, rooms spotless, entertainment great, loads of pools plenty of beds around pools, so no need to put towels on them.

Went June 2007, family of nine children 11 and 9 and 8 and 4 and all thought it was the best holiday ever. Going again in June 2008

I stayed here with my daughter and her family. We went in May 2007 for one week but went straight to travel agents when we got home to book again for next year, but for two weeks this time.

You can't get a better hotel for kids and families. The food was fantastic, too much food to choose from the choices you had were great.

I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone especially if you have kids.

I have stayed here twice with 2 children.

Set in lovely grounds with activities for the children. There is a little train that goes around the lake which my younger son loved. Good value for money.

I would definitely book to go here again.

Not a great holiday at all!

Avoid at all costs, food terrible, one pool was shut down due to sickness, my children had sickness throughout, no entertainment, rooms tiny with paper thin walls!!!!!!

It is a fantastic and fun filled holiday.

Great for the kids and plenty to do. Food is ok .

I have been here twice with my family and its definately worth what you pay for.

I found the food to be great and always fresh and entertainment good, pools good, apartments basic but good.

Definately good value for your money

I've been there this summer '06 and it's worth the money you pay for.

Do not expect the food to be fab, but it meets the standards for a cheap all inclusive place.

The enternainment program is OK, specially the children's one.

The pools are also OK, and the rooms are clean and simple.

This is one of the best all inclusive I have been in, the food is fabulous and all very fresh with a massive choice.

I would have liked to see a singer or two but it had just opened when we arrived so they were just getting sorted.
