Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Esmeralda Maris by LIVVO

Great place

Just back after a stay in the Esmerelda Maris. Great spacious apartments very close to the beaches (250M). All the apartments are similar in size with full cook facilities except oven which was not missed. Front a back terrace space of great size. Sun most of the day as most of the apartments are pretty much south-facing with sea view. All at the apartments were friendly and helpful. We took the half board option and if we returned would take breakfast only. Food was adequate and unrestricted but times were limited with restaurant closed at 9pm which for holiday is quite early. The location of the hotel is a good distance from the centre and transport is recommended as there is no shuttle service. The centre has a small shop which was empty and closed which is a shame as between breakfast and dinner there is no option for snacks especially if you are by the pool. Drinks are expensive with small water €3.20 or a bottle of house red €17.50. All drinks are only paid at the end of the stay. Must say the lady cleaner on our area works hard and did a great job bushing a seriously overloaded trolly on inclines of +15% in high heat. Overall lovely place to stay and would return. Beaches in the area are fantastic with crystal clear water and fantastic turquoise colours. Beaches are clothing optional but not intrusive. Check out the beach restaurant near Esmarelda Beach, really worth a visit.

It was the perfect place for a quiet relaxing break, walking distance from 3 beautiful beaches, a lovely beach restaurant very close and more on Costa Calma beach 10 mins walk away. The property was clean, spacious and fully equipped for self catering. I’d recommend a car if you want to see more of the island. Lots of parking at the hotel.

Fabulous stay

We have really liked the apartment. Breakfast options were ok, but always had to wait for refills of juices and pastry and not everyone was nice. The pool was dirty. The washing machine in the laundry was a very old one and crazy expensive.

Amazing place and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend

Just spent 4 nights and had a wonderful stay at Esmerelda Maris. Great location – easy parking (being at the end of a line of hotels) and beautiful soft sandy beaches with crystal clear water within 6-8 minutes walk (off road / rough path so some footwear required). Opportunity for lovely coastal walks and fantastic panoramic views from nearby hills if desired. A big thanks to Ingrid at reception was very warm, friendly and always helpful. The whole hotel has been recently renovated – it felt new. Well designed and soundproofed, as well as spacious apartments. Spotlessly clean and lots of storage. Kitchen was also reasonably well equipped (only 3 of each piece of crockery but not an issue) and glad they provide a new washing-up sponge, soap, wiping cloth etc. Communal areas are well maintained. Swimming pool was actually heated to a warm temperature (rare!) – perhaps about 23-24 degrees – very comfortable even in the cooler February evenings. Wifi was decent and free for 5 devices per room, especially in the living area – speeds of 10-20 Mbps upload and download. Highly recommended and hope to return again!

The front desk and the manager are wonderful and very friendly people. Love every minutes in the hotel.

Spacious sea view apartment , comfortable beds , modern bathroom with rain shower , well equipped kitchen the apartment was cleaned to a high standard 5 minutes walk to the beach , short walk to Costa Calma centre

Lovely hotel, very modern and fresh. Great staff

We love that they reward loyalty, they treated us very well, the staff are lovely. I would have loved a newer mattress

staff very helpful and pleasant. had a relaxing holiday

We visited for the first week in Feb 2019. The hotel complex is large and of interesting architecture. We had an apartment with a sea view that was spacious, clean and with a balcony that provided a sun trap, staying warm a little longer at the end of the day when things cooled. The apartment was well laid out, with a very functional kitchen area and a sitting room section as well as bedroom. The only real negative was the bed - described as queen-sized, but just 2 singles pushed together with a gap between and not even covered with a double sheet. The beds were comfy however. Maid service was not daily, but was still frequent enough. The staff were all friendly, had good English, always helpful and willing. They made us welcome and it was appreciated. We ate half board. Breakfast had a good range of typical foods plus a few local bits and a live chef making omelettes etc. Dinner was also good, and although the buffet could suffer a little from being prepared in bulk, the live chef station provided a freshly cooked selection that was different each night. The pool was pleasant, not heated but not cold either, and kept clean every night using and underwater robot. We saw the gym and yoga hall etc, but did not use the facilities. There is little to do around the hotel at night, and the rest of Costa Calma is sleepy in low season, so if you don't want to watch TV make sure you take a book or 2. The hotel car park is on the dirt area beside the hotel.

Beautiful property. Room/Apt was very nice but wifi didn't work. The shower head was not working right but they did have it replaced which I appreciated. The food was very good, but I thought they could have provided free drinking water at dinner considering you couldn't drink tap water. I think I would definitely stay here again. By the way, it wasn't easy to find. Be sure you get good directions!

The location is remote from the party scenery in Costa Calma 😒which is also far from the airport (1hr or 1hr30 mins journey) by taxi min 70€ 😢and it's not a business oriented town shops and restaurants shuts down quickly. The hotel is nice and spotlessly clean but the services stop altogether by 11pm... It's very scary n empty at night because it's too quiet. Make sure you get everything you need before 11pm or else?! The food was amazing I must say and the staff were sweet, Martina my favourite 😍😘 at the reception, Mariama in the kitchen top notch chef and the cleaner lady very helpful! The location has a beautiful beach not far from the premises so that was a plus but be ready for a long walk at the beach. Make sure you rent a car for total satisfaction if you don't then stay in Jandia because taxi services expensive and not worth the hassle! Morro de Jable is not far but it's worth discovering.

The hotel was better than I expected, given the price, and better than the one 4 star hotel we stayed in for the second half of our holiday. If you like to watch tv, bring your phone or tablet etc. This area is very popular and geared towards Germans. The only english tv channels are news, and a horse and country channel. You will need the paid for wifi to watch movies etc, as the free wifi isn't great. There is a small shop onsite, it closes at 6pm. The room is comfortable enough, and the lounge has microwave, cooker and fridge. I travelled with my teenage daughter, and she liked the hotel. This area is very quiet, and feels safe. No drunks, very little noise. Breakfast is plentiful, and lots of choice. Take the Hoppa to the resort from the airport. It cost 14 euros for two of us, each way, and took the same time as a taxi, which will cost over 100 euros each way. We waited less than 15 minutes at the airport for the hoppa bus, and the same at the resort to take us back. The food in the town is ok, but nothing to write home about. If what you want to do is sunbath, relax and recharge your batteries, without running into lots of other Brits its perfect. If you don't like being surrounded by germans, try somewhere else.

Loved our week at Esmeralda Maris. This is the place to come to recharge your batteries. We wanted nothing more to do than relax so we walked, swam, slept and looked forward every day to breakfast and dinner. We went half board with a great choice of healthy fresh food each day. Could have eaten there forever! Friendly smiling staff who make such a difference to a holiday. We arrived late in the evening and hungry and were brought food and water to our room as the restaurant had closed. A thoughtful touch. Apartment immaculate with linen and towel change. Great spacious bathroom, large bedroom and 2 balconies with a sea view from the front. 20 minute walk to Costa Calma shops and the same time to the fabulous beach with crystal clear water. Buses to elsewhere on the island if you can tear yourself away from the peace and quiet. Hard to leave.

Try to extract money at every opportunity. Charge you for using the room safe! And there's a charge for beach towels....

Large size rooms,excellent swimming pool which we stayed longer.

Nice clean hotel with lovely staff, and close to beaches.
