AzuLine Hoteles Mar Amantis & II Reviews

We stayed here for 1 week in Oct '23. We've visited Ibiza 8 times but not stayed at this resort. We were located in Mar Amantis II. Its got the majority of the pools and a pool bar but not the view of the Bay. The hotel is in need of serious investment, its dated and tired looking. That said when we checked in we were behind a couple who had visited last year and a couple who had visited for the previous 7 years. I'm sure their review would be significantly different to ours so bear that in mind if considering making a booking. There are two lifts , both take 2 people maximum, as there are only 3 floors they arrive very quickly at least. You can use the hotel pool towels if you leave a deposit . They looked fine, we didn't use them. There is entertainment on site at II each night, I can't comment as we didn't stay on site in the evenings. It included bingo, a magician, solo artists, a disco, pretty much standard fare. Our room overlooked the pool area. There is a deep, plunge style pool, a kidney shaped larger one and a couple of shallow pools for children. There is daytime 'animation' on site consisting of darts, golf, volleyball, water polo and table tennis. The entertainment chap had a hard time engaging folk when we were there but bless him for trying . All of the staff were pleasant and cheerful and worked their socks off. When you use the bar you need to 'rent' a plastic beaker to use to collect your drinks. It's 1 euro and you get a fresh beaker when you return it for another drink. You can 'cash' it in when you leave for the day. It saves the empties rolling around the pool area which is a great idea in my opinion & saves on the single use plastic. The drinks were typical, local beer, wine, spirits and cocktails. By the time the ice cubes are in you tend to make a few trips to stay 'hydrated'. You can buy branded drinks if you like too, many did. The meals are served in Amantis I over the road. We only ate in the restaurant a couple of times as it was like a busy canteen and didn't suit us , we ate out instead BUT did take advantage of the snack bar in Amantis II at lunchtime. Recommended the tuna toastie. The chef is very cheerful and obliging. He was serving up orders at rapid speed all day. Amantis I requires more coffee making machines, at peak times it was a silly wait time to use the machine. There are only 2 available. If you choose to eat out I can recommend Ausonia - a pizza place a few doors away. 35 euros for a pint, glass of wine and 2 quality pizzas. Service and ambience are great. Alternatively Tapeo opposite is hard to beat for tapas and the vino is very good too. Service here was fab. We had 6 tapas dishes and a bottle of rose for 68 euros. The Sundara is next door and although we didn't eat in here it has a good menu and gets busy later in the evening with diners and drinkers. It was crazy expensive either. There a snack bar/patisserie there too which also looked fab and very popular. It advertised t
