Blue Sea Club Marthas

October ‘26, saw our 5th visit to Bluesea’s Club Martha’s. My past reviews of this hotel have all been positive. And don’t get me wrong there are many, many positives to staying at this resort. For example the 4 pools are great, the open spaces and greenery give it a classy feel. It’s in a great location for the beach, supermarket, bars and restaurants. Transport into the centre of Cal D’Or by bus or tourist train is convenient. The rooms are spacious and a daily housekeeping service is handy for refreshing the towels and replacing the complimentary toiletries.

However, this year I cannot help but feel that there were a few things that disappointed my partner and I. We stayed in room 6216. This is advertised as a “recently refurbished superior room”. And for this reason you pay more. Upon arrival at the room we found no kettle, no tea towels and no chopping knife, in what is described as a “fully equipped kitchen”. The combination microwave oven, with grill, that had been available in the rooms in the past, had been replaced with just a microwave oven. My guess is, the microwave with grill model went faulty, and instead of replacing it with another microwave with grill model, the temptation to save money and replace it with a standard microwave was too great. I bet 90% of all love the other rooms have microwave with grills. This limited us with what we could cook, during our stay. The aircon unit in the lounge area had no grill/louvres fitted. The toilet seat was a little loose and on the wonk. The fridge didn’t have a bottom door shelf and was rusty. The shower hose was rusty. Dirty handrails and a few faulty lights in the communal area were noticed. Now I know I could have brought all of these to the attention of the hotel. Some of them I did, but it's not my job to be highlighting issues that their own staff should be noticing, and putting right.

The other thing that was disappointing this year compared with the last 4 years when staying here in October was the entertainment. Previously we have enjoyed great shows performed by the animation team such as Lion King. This year, there was less variety as most evenings are filled with Karaoke or music quizzes, though my partner did enjoy the acrobat and circus acts. Adult activities such as archery, rifle shooting, water aerobics and table tennis etc are great to take part in, but it can be frustrating when activities start late or not at all, as the animation team member shows up late or not at all. One activity we missed out on was Killer Pool. My partner and I were waiting by the pool table at the main bar, (where it has taken place for the last 3 years), unbeknown to us, the activity was taking place at another pool table, by the reception.

What a present surprise. We had read all the reviews, and even watched a “Karen’s” review on TikTok about the hotel and I have to say overall it was very nice. For reference Club Martha’s is in the Es Forte part of Cala D’Or which is a 8 minute drive from the main town.

We arrived on the Friday and had no issues at all with check-in. Receptionists explained everything really well. We got a safe as recommended and only cost €10 with a €6 deposit for the week. One of the rooms in Block 9 was on the ground floor so we asked to move and they changed us with no issues at all.

Both rooms were clean and tidy. Some people had commented that the rooms were dated and they were, but very clean and comfortable. The maid came every day and made the beds and mopped at least once.

The food was overall good though a couple of nights it was heavy on Fish dishes which was not for us so eat out those nights, one of them at the Pizza place in the hotel.

Only issue was that the west of the island was using seawater due to the drought, so we had to shower in salt water.

Overall really impressed and would go back again.

Lovely atmosphere, helpful staff, amazing entertainment and animations. Food was good, clean and the location was amazing.

Staff members like Amelia went above and beyond to make guests feel welcomed and entertained.

No complaints, all good.
