H10 Blue Mar Boutique Hotel — Hotel in Andratx

This hotel is everything! We stayed for 5 days for our honeymoon, and the accessibility of this hotel is brilliant. Staff are super friendly and approachable from the reception, restaurant, and bar even down to the care taking staff and cleaners. They go above and beyond to help you in any way and always have a smile. On arrival, we received 2 free drinks while we awaited our room, which was available early well before time. We stayed in a chillout room, which was perfect and just as pictured, and the photos didn't do it justice. The room was immaculate, so clean with fresh towels, glasses, daily coffee, and a complimentary bottle of water. The beds were spacious and very comfortable with sheets, quilt, and a number of pillows of different firmness for you to choose your comfort. The shower included both a rainfall shower and a standard one, with a double sink basin in the bathroom. Shampoos, conditioner, body wash, body milk, and hand soap are all available for you to use in full-size bottles, which was beautiful, and the body milk, especially smelt lush!! The room was fully air conditioned, leaving you able to pop back to cool for a bit and so fresh. The balcony opened out onto the chillout area with more than enough bali loungers for each room along that section of the building and a beautiful view, especially of an evening. The bar is open until midnight with a brilliant choice of drinks and cocktails and also offers a snack menu between 12-6pm. The cava was beautiful! Served as a bottle on ice, adding such luxury but at a brilliant price too of only €20 a bottle! The beers my husband had were fresh and beautiful, too, in full-size pints. The restaurant for breakfast has a brilliant selection of cereals, pastries, breads, salads, cold meats, cheeses, fruits, yogurts with compote, hard and soft boiled eggs, pancakes freshly cooked via the show kitchen looking onto the tables, fresh cooked eggs, omletes made to order and full selection of cooked breakfast options. The evening meals menu rotates each day and offers an exquisite al le carte menu of starters, soups, mains, and desserts. The menu offers a good selection of fish which Camp de mar is famous for as well as others meats including chicken and steak with a vegetarian selection too. The food was made to order fresh, and tables come with fresh bread and cocktail (food cocktail) to start. An absolutely beautiful dinner! Views while dining for both breakfast and evening are a dream. Inside and an outside selection of tables dedicated to the restaurant. The pool is a lovely temperature and offers a shallow sitting jacuzzi on one side, water fall, and jets of the other with low step entry and rail perfect for those with mobility needs! A brilliant amount of outdoor seating from pool beds that were always readily available even while fully booked, a chillout area one step above with luxury loungers and another area sheltered by the hotel that consists of double chillout loungers offering complete shade all again on ground level so very accessible. The location of this hotel is perfect! A 30-second walk will bring you from the front entrance, through the hotel, through the outdoor bar area and straight to the back entrance gate that opens onto the beach path!! Yes, the beach is right at your feet! The hotel offers beach/pool towels (€10 deposit, which is returned as you hand the towel in) that can be used and washed daily. Take the lift to floor 5, and everyone has use use of the rooftop terrace chill out area that offers an incredible view of the beach and sea with bali loungers, sun loungers and parasols. Beautiful setting to watch the sunset behind the restaurant in the sea! An absolute dream! The hotel is adult only, and the peace is unlike any I've seen a hotel give. Serenity and bliss where you could hear a pin drop but in a calming, relaxing atmosphere. During our stay, we had the luxury of seeing a violinist booked to the hotel on Tuesday, who was phenomenal. This stay will be forever in...

Overall impression|The hotel looks lovely at first glance and the staff are genuinely its best feature. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, helpful and professional, and the cleaning team in particular did a brilliant job every day. Unfortunately, despite the great service, several things stopped the stay from being truly enjoyable.||Room|We were given a complimentary upgrade to a "Chill Out" sea view room with access to the terrace and Bali beds. It sounds fantastic on paper, but in reality the setup doesn’t really work. The terrace is completely shared and sits right in front of the room’s balcony, so you have no privacy at all. People walking past can easily see straight into your room, and the thin curtains do nothing to block this. The hotel also doesn’t seem to enforce its "no bed reservation" policy, so guests often claim the beds all day. The area wasn’t cleaned all week either, and after a storm, debris was left scattered around. Guests should be made aware that this terrace is communal, not private. It would make a lot more sense if drinks could be ordered directly to the Bali beds through an online service, which would actually make the area feel like an upgrade.||Inside, the room looked fine after a light refurb, but the air conditioning and plumbing really let it down. The air conditioning was both loud and struggled to cool the room properly. I can see this being a real issue in the height of summer. The pipes also make constant gurgling and echoing noises when neighbours use their bathrooms, which made sleeping difficult without earplugs.||Atmosphere and ambience|The hotel is peaceful but feels lifeless, more like a retirement home than an adults-only getaway. There is no background music around the pool even though speakers are there, the bar TV was never on, and the entertainment consisted of just two live acts in a week. Adult-only does not need to mean boring, and this place could really do with a bit more energy. We also visited H10 Casa del Mar during our trip, and although it is not adults-only, it had far more life to it, with music, movement and a generally happier vibe. It felt like a place people actually wanted to spend time in. Here, it often felt like the hotel goes out of its way to cater mainly for older guests, which might explain the subdued feel. That is fine for some, but not a sustainable approach if they want to appeal to future visitors.||Food|Breakfast was good quality, though identical every morning. Dinner, on the other hand, was underwhelming. The hotel rotates just three à la carte menus with one vegetarian option on each, and ingredients are clearly reused. You will spot the same mushrooms or chicken turning up again the next day. All of the meat and fish we ate was overcooked, and every dish came with the same frozen vegetable mix. It was disappointing enough that we downgraded our board, though to be fair, the reception manager handled this really well and offered resort credit, which we appreciated.||Given the quality and freshness of the food, it’s not surprising that some guests have reported feeling unwell after dining here.||Verdict|Overall, it is a clean, quiet hotel in a great location with excellent staff who work hard to keep guests happy. But it lacks atmosphere, variety and attention to detail. With some investment in ambience, better food, and a rethink of the "Chill Out" rooms, it could be so much more than it...
