Some of the staff are rude especially in the dining room where the floor is so slippery it’s all you can do to try not slip over with a plate of food that you have had to try to get while being pushed out of the way by young kids and their parents! Check in took way too long and there was queues of people was ridiculous.

Painful
Very outdated and basic room. Air conditioning was broken, shower drain was broken, pool had black mold on tile, check in kines were long and process very slow. Was expensive dor what you got. Area is unique— like a ceoss between wanna be Disney and Vegas. Hotel was close to the beach which was nice. I would not stay there again

We thank you, first of all, for your visit, the time spent in valuing us and highlighting aspects such as the location close to the beach. Our maintenance team works constantly to ensure that all our facilities are in the best condition. However, there can always be an unexpected breakdown that is fixed in a short space of time. In addition, the reception staff is perfectly trained to give the best customer service. During the check-in process there is a lot of information that has to be given since many activities are carried out and at very specific moments it can be slowed down. In these cases, always reinforced with more staff to streamline procedures and queues are as short as possible. A greeting.

Stressful Cafeteria Style Buffet
Weekend with my significant other and my 10 year old daughter. The hallways where the rooms are reminded me of a hospital! And because of the indoor pool and spa, it smelt of chlorine which added to the hospital vibe. I've been to many 4 star hotels and I would say this one is not up to par with the standard I was expect. The rooms have no personality, it feels very institutional. Our room and bathroom were spacious and clean, the beds were comfortable. I dreaded meal times, they were stressful! It felt like walking into a school cafeteria: lots of people, lots of noise, sometimes people spilled some of the food off their plates or children would spill their drinks as they were walking around the buffet, just a lot of commotion! I guess it is to be expected at a resort built around amusement parks! My daughter had a blast though, which was the point of the weekend, I suppose.

Thank you very much, Samanta, for your visit and for highlighting aspects such as the room, the cleanliness and the spaciousness of the bathrooms and the beds. As you say, in Marina d'Or you can find both the spa and different parks and gardens where both adults and children have a great time. On the other hand, the hotel facilities, such as the buffet, are perfectly prepared to accommodate all our guests comfortably even at times of greatest occupancy. We regret that you did not perceive it that way. A greeting.

It is in he middle of no where and we found it very hard as no one really spoke English. We used our phone as a translator. The room was clean. It double bed was very uncomfortable for myself and my husband. Pool was good for the kids. Remember to have a cap tho. They played music in the pool area that was so loud it was ear pearcing at times. Food was average and no real selection.

We also thank you for sharing your comments about the cleanliness, the room, the bed, the pool and buffet. We will review your words to make sure we offer you the best services. Greetings.

A well placed location for the beach and amenities
Very clean hotel, child friendly and with lovely swimming pools. Encountered no British at hotel but some of the staff spoke adequate English. The hotel food was buffet Mediterranean and very plentiful. Wi fi was adequate for e mail. Fridge hair dryer and safe in room. Our air con didn't seem to work but was not needed. No tea and coffee making facilities supplied in room. Preparations are being undertaken for a building plot next door which could cause disturbance nExt season. Meal times are very busy with up to a thousand people at the buffet but staff are slick at clearing and there was never any waiting

Thank you for choosing the Holiday City as a place to enjoy your holidays in Spain. We are pleased to read that during your holidays you found everything nice, the cleanliness, the pools, the preparation and the great work carried out by our human team, and the delicious food cooked with mediterranean style. We inform you that at the reception of the hotel we have vending machines of coffees and teas, or that in our hotel 5* has coffee maker in the room.

Love the Gran Duque
This hotel is great. The facilities and the food top notch. I visited with my daughter during half term holidays and we had a great time. Daily activities for the kids, despite there only being a handful of children in the hotel. The buffet breakfast and dinner were excellent. The only downside was almost all of the local shops and restaurants were closed for the season. This is not the fault of the hotel, of course, but it was a shame there was not more going on in the area. All that said, it meant we used the hotel facilities more than we would normally and found our stay lovely.
Response from MarinadOr on Apr 9, 2016
Many thanks Gareth to come with your daughter to enjoy some unforgettable days with your family in the city for a holiday. Thank you, first of all, your excellent ratings for the installations, the program of activities that we have each day or the rich dishes every meal in the buffet. As you say, if any of the restaurants or shops were closed, not all belong to Marina d'Or. In our web page, you can check the timetables of all our facilities and premises which, in addition are updated weekly. I hope, in your next vacation, return to Marina d'Or. Thanks

Family hotel
Nice hotel but definitely a place for families with kids. We were a group of friends staying there for FIB so wasn't the ideal hotel for us. Lots and lots of families and children so not particularly relaxing. But rooms we nice and the pool was great.
Response from MarinadOr on Oct 3, 2015
Thank you for choosing to stay in Marina d’Or during the FIB festival; also for the remarks about our excellent rooms and swimming pools, where you can enjoy a refreshing and relaxing bath. Gran Duque hotel is the most familiar hotel in the resort, partly due to its spacious rooms and installations in general. Nevertheless, our resort is ideal for all types of tourists, of all ages, every day of the year.

Stayed in the hotel for 4 nights as at the Benicassim Music Festival and was really impressed by the hotel.Really nice rooms and the shower was amazing! The pool area was lovely and always got a bed by the pool.It was nice to chill out at but alot of people staying there were there for the festival but would recommend to anyone. Very good value and you can use the faclities in the hotel group in Orpersa Del Mar.

Por culpa de Expedia no aparecía nuestra reserva (según dijo un empleado) había un problema informático y no habían cargado bien las reservas. No nos gustó la habitación no había percheros, nos encontramos un vaso lleno de colillas en la terraza, la limpieza de los muebles no fue la mejor. La zona de la piscina estaba sucia...un matojo de pelos y tiritas usadas en el borde de la piscina de los niños, la papeleras estaban llenas, hasta que no se lo dije a alguien de recepción no mandaron a alguien a recogerlas....dejando las tiritas y los pelos sin limpiar, una hamaca estaba llena de patatas fritas de algún cliente guarro, un vaso de mini lleno de colillas de tabaco en medio del paso a las piscinas. En el paso de la cafetería a la piscina se cayó un helado de chocolate a alguien poniendolo todo perdido y que nadie limpiaba. En resumen deberían quitarle al menos dos estrellas a dicho hotel. Marina D'or estaba fatal conservado...estanques de peces del parque cercano a la playa lleno de suciedad, vasos, colillas, mascarillas, botellas, plásticos....no se lo recomiendo a nadie!!!

La estancia ha sido muy positiva, habitación muy limpia y bien cuidada, comida muy variada y de buena calidad, atención del personal muy positiva. La única pega es que las placas donde ponen las bandejas de comida no mantienen bien la calor y en varias ocasiones tenia que utilizar el microondas para calentarla.
