Maistra Select Family Hotel Amarin

Spacious Grounds: The spacious grounds allow for a sense of tranquility even when the hotel is fully booked.

This is well equipped as a children's play hotel, ideal for young children and parents. However there are no real facilities or comfortable areas for adults, especially at this time of year. Neither are there many comfortable areas for families of differing ages to relax together and chat. The feel of the hotel is similar to living within a children's nursery facility. It does that really well. Transport out of the resort into the town is limited. Prior to 30th September there is an occasional free bus, a chargeable land train & chargeable boat. After that there is no free bus and no boat. The land train is also mainly full, leaving a taxi the only option at €20 one way. This was not made clear to us at the time of booking, or even on 30th September whilst in the resort, which was annoying. At the end of September various services at the hotel were reduced and advance notice of this would have been beneficial. Generally the service was just about ok, not especially helpful or friendly. The quality of the food is fresh and good, if rather repetitive. There is 1 child friendly bar area and the dining experience is chaotic and whilst totally child friendly is also disappointing if you are expecting a more usual adult or family mealtime. There was no evidence of any la carte restaurants. The hotel is very clean and well kept, in extensive grounds with two pebble beaches. There are various swimming pools indoor and out, catering for all ages and abilities that are attractive and well maintained.
