The rooms have some years but they are ok and clean...Food is good...And the staff do very well is job...the beach near the hotel is wonderful...great experience the first week of october

The rooms are clean and comfortable but pretty basic. This isn’t an issue as you hardly spend any time there. For all inclusive the food and drinks were great. Animation team was amazing with things to do all day. Would go back for sure.

Amazing place with great service

I did a lot of research on the property and read ALOT of reviews on trip advisor. I can confirm that those reviews are mostly accurate. When we arrived I must admit reception was not so welcoming, definitely room for improvement.The accommodation is very dated and the beds are not the most comfortable, but the bungalows are kept clean. There is also quite a bad sewage smell in the bathroom, as I read in a few reviews - probably because the properties are so dated.It is a huge property with the restaurant being quite a distance away from the accommodation so be prepared to do a lot of walking (and its uphill back to the accommodation), if you do not like walking then this is not the place for you. On the plus side there is a good variety of food and the restaurant is perfectly located for great views. Entertainment was ok and you have a choice of a salt water pool and 2 freshwater pools, the one freshwater pool is very shallow with slides, aimed at small kids only. They do offer a buffet lunch at the freshwater pools, so that you dont have to walk all the way down to the main restaurant, BUT this is very basic and nothing to rave about. You can also get mini pizzas, burger, hotdogs and toasted sandwiches from the pool bar, nothing wonderful but they are ok - Pizza was not bad, but make sure they have cooked it properly. Slush puppies, coke, Fanta, sprite, fruit juice and water on tap all day - which is great for the kids and free ice cream - always a winner. Great beach!

Lovely setting with spacious apartments scattered among trees. Excellent buffet meals. Only instant coffee in dining room, but good coffee at bar --open 10am to midnight. Some signs of wear on buildings. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Just returned from an amazing week at Mar y Land in Formentera. Had such a relaxing week. The island itself is beautiful and hotel has a very chilled out atmosphere. Had never done all inclusive before and was a bit apprehensive about food selection as I’m a vegan but it was better than I had expected. Would definitely return!

Fantastic holiday in a unique place with animation prepared and always available. Proximity to the sea and the beach convenient for those who have babies! Only downside a few bar waitresses a little grumpy!!!

Enjoyed the stay for a week but any longer and the entertainment at the hotel gets a little annoying - its very loud and you cant avoid it. Almost everyone that stays is Italian so everything is done in Italian - also gets a little annoying. The wifi doesnt work at all. As I said - lovely for a one week stay.

Nice place to go in September dont recommend to go on July if you are a couple and don't have kids. This place can get full of kids , and the pool get infested of them. The restaurant was the most disappointing place for me and my wife, the food was always cold even if we go 1 minute after it open. the time you put the food on you place and go to your table the food is already ice cold. we preferred the hamburger served as a snack in the bar instead of a dinner/lunch in the restaurant. Old fellows and moms with baby trolleys are everywhere, if you don't have patience to wait them walk or get drink in the queue is not a place for you too. The rooms is always very far from the restaurant and the main pool more or less 600 meters. i have no problem with that but someone might. NEVER LEAVE YOUR STUFF EXPOSED IN YOUR ROOM, don't leave any window open when you leave, or door or anything, close everything you have in the bags before you leave, i saw a lot of cops there because of robbery not from locals but from ppl who goes there to stay in the hotel (i guess) particularly i saw just once a family got stolen. pools are salted water. No wifi in the rooms, i bought an SIM card in the town center and i used the whole trip. But they have wifi in the main lobby and in the bar(the internet bar sucks, really really sucks)

We stayed for eleven nights and it was nice not to spend time seeking groceries. We could relax and explore the island.

the food was great...wifi didn't work however but that's ok as the area is too spectacular to worry about it. staff was super nice. pool is gorgeous.

Like Butlins - overpriced and food was just over cooked - the view was I imagine what hiked the price up - save up and go somewhere else

On arriving at the hotel reception, we were greeted by friendly, helpful staff who made us feel very welcome. We were pleasanty surprised that the 'all inclusive' package really did include everything: bike hire, tennis courts, all exercise classes, pools, evening shows and day time entertainment, all meals, snacks, alcoholic beverages, coffees etc, etc..! The 'bungalows' looked just as they do on the website; spotlessly clean (if a little dated) whitewashed flatlets with balcony and verandah and good basic facilties. The only downside being that ours was in full sunshine all day and evening and, as there is no air-conditioning was at times unberably hot. There were ceiling mounted fans in both bedroom and lounge which had to be in use all night. The entertainments team was so friendly and great fun, putting on really good family entertainment at the village theatre 6 nights out of 7.The restaurant staff were so efficient and the food they prepared was both delicious and healthly with a range of choices for all tastebuds except perhaps for vegetarians which was a bit limited but nonetheless very good. The village is well laid out with two lovely pools and a new large paddling pool surrounded by sun loungers (perfect for parents). There are two bars where the drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic flow freely throughout the day and night. The beautiful, clean turquoise waters of the sea were a pleasure to bath in and welcome respite from the very hot July sun. A great holiday!

Great hotel with everything we wanted but the sleeping accomodation was pretty small for our family

FOOD GOOD.DINING AREA CLEAN.WAITRESSES VERY EFFICIENT NEW SWIMMING POOL AND KIDS SPLASH AREA BRILLIANT. A BIG COMPLEX SPREAD OUT.NOT RECOMMENDED IF YOU DONT LIKE HILLS,AS A HIKE FROM ROOMS TO DINING AREA AND TOP SWIMMING POOL AND SPLASH AREA

Booked last minute holiday for a week with my family. Formentera is a beautiful small island off Ibiza with lovely clean clear blue waters and a selection of easily accessible beaches. This plus the beautiful natural surroundings of the hotel buildings set within its own grounds, made the week very relaxing and exactly what we wanted from our time away. The hotel is well located next to a long beach and also has a good bus service plus bike hire to easily get to other parts of the island.

In Formentera there are not many hotels that accommodate families of 4 or more. The Maryland was a good choice for us in terms of quality and price. The food is a bit repetitive and not always good, but it is not easy to produce better quality for such a high volume of guests. Many of the pastries are fresh baked on the premises and quite good. The dining area is lovely with a beautiful view, but in the outdoor part they could invest in creating some shade as most of the seats remain vacant at lunch because of the strong sun. Long queues form for people waiting for the few spots available in the shade. The rooms are very basic and can be quite noisy if located on the main path to the beach. We asked to change rooms for this reason and were happy with the new room. The double bed in the second room however were 2 singles pushed together. I wanted to request a normal double bed, but hesitated after already changing rooms once. The location of the hotel is far from the action on the island in Es Pujols and the beaches of Illetes. There is a convenient bus that stops right it front of the hotel to take you to the other areas but the hours are infrequent. We really liked the beaches in the immediate vicinity of the hotel and were happy to spend most of our time there. The staff at the reception and bar areas are exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Our kids are teens and enjoyed the organized sports activities for adults and older kids.

nice rooms, plenty of choice of food, nice location.

A great size apartment, the resort makes the perfect base from which to explore the island, and with so many facilities it's great for families too.

The hotel was very nice, the surraunding fantastic and peaople extremely kind and friendy. Special note for the guys of the "divercion". They have been all fab and a special thank you to Nathalie who made us feel at home!!
