Visited the Playa Mar in July with our 2 year old daughter. The apartments were very clean and modern.
The staff were very accommodating and friendly.
The pools were excellent, especially the toddler pool which had a graduated slope. Unfortunately like most places these days you have to get up early to get a sunbed !
The pool side bar served a variety of meals.
We didn't use the hotel restaurant because we would have to pay child prices for our 2 year old and there's no way she would have eaten 8 EUR worth of food ! and if she dined with us we had to pay for her.
Entertainment was good with mostly professional shows every night (sometimes 2+ per night). Saw an excellent Abba tribute band there which everyone got up and danced to.
The apartments themselves are a bit of a walk (approx 20-25 mins) from Puerto Pollensa. It's a bit of a trek in the baking heat, but a beautiful stroll along the Pine Walk every evening.
Would recommend these apartments, but not if you don't like a good walk !
Would definitely stay there again.

We booked a holiday with the superfamily category, self catering for 2 weeks. We had always wanted to visit Puerto Pollensa and decided to go to this hotel.
The Playa Mar is an excellent hotel!!! It could have done with some paint work to brighten up the place a bit, but other than that it is a very clean hotel!
The location was okay and it was fairly quiet, the only thing was that it was quite a walk to get to shops and restaurants. If you enjoy walks along the sea front with boats and a few hotels on the other side, then you'll be fine every night, unless you eat in the restaurant in the hotel, which is fine, although could do with a little more variety.
The hotel staff were lovely and always tried their best!
The entertainment was very good for the children as there was a disco every night for them, usually with "Thomson the dog". After the kids disco they did the awards for the daily activities(which there were quite alot of). Next they would have a professional show (e.g Abba who were very good, a magician or some other tribute act).
I would recommend families or young and older couples who like children to go here. I hope I will be back to Puerto Pollensa soon!!

An excellent all round hotel, I would not hesitate to return.
Entertainment could have done with a little more during the day for non kiddie club age children and the reps shows at night were not the best but they tried hard.
The pool was also very good and the free form kiddie section meant they could walk in themselves without us worrying about the depth etc.
Hotel is 20/25 min walk from resort centre but a very pleasant stroll, as the hotel is a little out of town it does not suffer from noise etc from surrounding bars, discos.
Overall, I would recommend this hotel to all families looking for a good standard of hotel.

The Playa Mar was surprisingly very good given that we were on a Thomson Superfamily holiday.
We would normally stay in 4/5 star hotels but now that we have a 4 year old daughter we had to do what was best for her. We went during term time in May so the majority of kids were under 5. The kids club for this age group is on daily from 10am to 12pm. Our daughter went every day and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were late teens and a lot of fun. Various games took place around the pool throughout the day with a kiddies disco at night from 8.30 to 9.15.
The apartments were spotless with nice furniture. The 'kitchen' was unbelievably small (it's really cupboard size) and had no storage for food. Although alright for one week this would stop me from coming back.
We asked for a quiet room (not overlooking the pool) and got that but there were repairs being done to the villas behind us which produced a lot of noise.
The food was very disappointing both in the restaurant and the bar. For a complex this large they really should do something about this.
Staff were nice and the adult entertainment okay.
We had a great holiday but wouldn't go back again. Would do something similar in Puerto Pollensa but try another aparthotel.

Well one word for this hotel complex his perfect,it has great location which is out of the centre from main town which make it quite.
The hotel entertainment is great for adults and kids, the staff are great and the hotel pool and rooms are very clean.
The walks and the views from the complex are also great.

We could not fault the hotel by any manner or means.
Arriving at 1am all holidaymakers had been allocated their rooms within 30 minutes.The apartment was spotless as was the whole complex.Whilst we were on a self-catering basis, we only used the restaurant a few times, the food being good but a little limited in variety.The location of the hotel was excellent,no main road traffic nor surrounded by high-rise apartments,bars or discos'.The Pinewalk to Pollensa is nearby, a pleasant 25 minute stroll, or in my case a 35 minute limp due to walking difficulties. The hotel staff, including the Thomson reps., could not be bettered. Cannot comment on the entertainment as we were out most nights.We will holiday at this hotel again - everything is sheer Quality.

We have booked again for next year as we had such a good time.
The children are 2 and 6 and we could relay in the knowledge that they where in a safe and friendly envoirament.
The hotel was spotless and the food was excellent as we didn't eat the same meal twice in 10 days. The choice available was also excellent.
The only downside I would say was I thought there could have been a little more entertainment for adults in the evenings but we are still going back next year.

We stayed at the Playa Mar, Puerto Pollensa and found the overall complex very clean and well maintained.
The hotel staff were polite and helpful as were the Thomson reps. The apartments were fantastic with rooms being cleaned almost daily.
The only slight niggle about the rooms was the size of the kitchen which was tiny and not practical for self-catering if you wanted to cook something instead of eating out. The pool was excellent and very clean. We liked the fact that nobody could put their towels out on the sunbeds before 10.00am unless they were with them constantly as this stopped the best sunbeds being reserved by people who didn't use them until later.
The reps put on really good shows for the children in the evenings and waiter service for the outside area was fantastic. What we also found great was the fact that they let you drink your own wine/bottles of beer that you had bought in town at the seating areas outside whilst watching the entertainment as this made it a cheaper night (they even provided the glasses!!).
Will definately return.

Have been here for the past 2 years, and think it is absolutely brilliant. The walk into town although nearly a mile, is a lovely walk - very picturesque.
If you go here, stop for breakfast at the Illa D'or which is excellent although reasonably expensive, but sitting by the sea (with the kids feeding the fish) and eating an excellent English breakfast, with friendly service, is a great start to the day.
The apartments are very clean, a little small, but moer than adequate. The complex is constantly being cleaned - and the gardener is always working - generally a lovely place.
In comparison to other Thomson Superfamily hotels - this is the best I have seen, including the BonAire which does not have such a beautiful resort to go with it.
One other thing, don't go half board, the food in the canteen is lousy, and the restaurants up in the town (and Little Italy on the way) are excellent.
