Not a quiet and relaxing experience this time. We have stayed here before and have found the rooms immaculately clean, staff very friendly, excellent facilities for our tastes, including a laundry and a gym, all tucked away in a lovely quiet part of the resort and within walking distance of the marina and all its shops and restaurants. In fact it’s been perfect and would have rated 5 stars.
But not this time. The construction of a new hotel on ground adjacent to here has meant that from 0800 to about 1700 there has been constant noise from the building works, something that I appreciate is outwith this hotel’s control and in fact I’m sure they be happier if a new hotel wasn’t being built next to them at all.
However, as if this wasn’t enough, this hotel seems to have picked the week we’re staying here to carry out their own renovations, with constant thumping, drilling, sawing and workmen shouting, the sound of which reverberates through the building and across the entire pool area particularly on the weekend, when we thought we’d get respite from the adjacent hotel work’s noise.
Our room (119) is only 4 rooms away from the works and the thumping and drilling noises carry through the walls (which aren’t very thick anyway) and sitting on the balcony is not a peaceful or enjoyable experience during the day, as shown in the snapshot video attached, filmed as I’m writing this review on our last full day here. Paths were also closed to accommodate the work, making it less convenient for us to get to and from our room. So our bedroom had noise from the adjacent site and the balcony has noise from the Cordial’s own work. There is no escape other than to go out for the day.
As I said, work outwith the hotel is not the fault of the hotel, but if they had planned do to work on their own premises, then they could have at least warned us, or not put us so close to the works, or offered a discount as the things we paid for here - the pool view (which we could just see beyond the roof and past the massive palm tree) and the peace and quiet rating highest - were not available to us.
In summing up, room, staff, facilities, location to marina and shops - all excellent, but be prepared for noise from the adjacent building site for the next year or so. It’s certainly made us reconsider booking here again next year.

Rooms are great for an apartment style holiday. Everything you need for a comfortable stay, spacious and comfortable. Complex is clean and tidy.
Our only negative was the breakfasts that we prebooked. Very disappointing for the cost. Food sits around on hot plates for service duration and dries out.  Bread rolls run out early and meats display often had flies on it. Good coffee though. We regretted booking breakfasts.
Near the complex are plenty of eating places of various types and costs. Some you need to pre book. There's a craft market at harbour next door  twice a week that has a nice vibe.
Aldi is about 2km walk away but much cheaper than local shops.
Walk there and taxi back. Hotel reception can help with taxi. Large fridge freezer in the rooms so you can stock up with goodies.
Staff all very friendly and helpful.
No evening entertainment or drinks past 5pm
As of December 25, there's large building works going on next door that start work from 7.30 am. Not good if you want a peacefully lie in. Most effected rooms are the pool view ones. Our tour operator did pre inform us but played the scale of bother down. This will continue for many months.

Stayed here a few times now and with Be Cordial about 7 times, their hotels/apartments are lovely. Based around great friendly service (ie Be Cordial) and they really do live up to that in my opinion. Cordial Marina is really lovely, beautiful pool setting,by and large nice and quiet, mostly older couples just keen for some someshine. Breakfast is very good if you choose to buy .  It's in a nice location overlooking the Marina which has good restaurants and some good shops. About 20 minutes walk along the promenade to the main centre of Playa Blanca where there are loads of shops and restaurants but we prefer around the Marina

What a lovely quiet and relaxing place to stay. Not far from any of the bars and restaurants by the Marina harbour and close by where they can be reached down at the front gate and onto the Ave Maritime footway and much more of a pleasant walk than around the back and down over the steps which leads to the Supermarket.  Rooms are very spacious and towels replaced every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. Although there are signs saying it's forbidden to reserve sunbeds with towels there are some offenders who pop down, put their towels on dozens of beds and disappear for a few hours. It's a shame really but we're all different and some more selfish than others. Perhaps the management should look at this problem and focus on it as it does make a difference to those looking for somewhere to stay and will deter some from booking again. There's more than enough beds for everyone. I'd still recommend the hotel to anyone wanting a quiet place close to harbour. Plenty of room in the apartment. Plenty of EURO electric sockets - you won't need an extension. No USB sockets though. Plenty of lights everywhere. A large sliding patio door and shutter opening windows back and front.. Large fridge and large freezer - enough room for lots of wine, beer and food. Lots of kitchen utensils, plates, glasses, bowl, sangria jug, grater, bottle opener, chopping board, spatchelor etc etc. No egg cups though. There's a large toaster, kettle and coffee percolator. An on-top two ring electric halogen glass stove cooker.  There's currently building work outside the rear of the hotel  next to a few old delapidated shut down clubs but it's no biggee, the noise is minimal. Some building work ongoing by rooms 200+ as they're adding a new walkway. There are 2 large TVs with plenty of channels, one in the bedroom and one in the living room/diner area. The pool is saltwater and can be a bit on the cold side but it's inviting, refreshing and clean. The cafe by the poolside is great for drinks and snacks and a large Tropical beer is €3.95. Food and drink costs vary quite a lot by the harbour and there's so much to choose from. The further up the bay towards the other Playa Blanca harbour ferry end, you'll find food astonishingly good value and lots to do but the staff and owners tend to be outside trying to get you in whereas at the Marina Rubicon end, this doesn't happen at all and there's no pressure when walking past pubs, restaurants and shops. Just a touch of class can change your whole holiday. Whatever you do, we've been back a few times and will continue to do so because we're laid back and like a bit of quality on holiday. We will visit again but next time we'll be taking towels off the sunbeds ourselves if nothing has been done.

A beautiful spot, in a good location. We stayed here for a week at the end of June. The staff were friendly, attentive and polite. The apartment was super clean! Included a kettle, iron, large refrigerator and more. It's not too far from the beach with loads of food and drink spots along the way. It's close to bus routes to venture out of Playa Blanca too. The pool was clean and regularly checked. Overall, a great place to stay.

Recently returned from our third stay at the Cordial Marina Blanca and have booked our return for next year before leaving. We love everything about this hotel. The apartments are spacious and well equipped and all the staff are very helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. On our first morning we just turned on the TV in the main living room & noticed that the screen was damaged. We reported it to Reception & just asked for someone to look at it as and when, as it wasn’t urgent. When we walked back to the room one of the maintenance guys was already there and it was replaced with a brand new set.

We booked B&B and there was plenty to choose from each morning. We also received a welcome gift from the hotel and a bottle of Cava on my partner’s birthday. These little touches make you feel that the hotel cares about its guests.

There is building work opposite on a new hotel and also there were some works by the hotel itself to improve lift access to the second floor. However this did not impact our stay at all and there was only one day where we heard some noise, whilst a wall was knocked out.

We love this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxed stay in the Marina area. We look forward to our return next year.

Another fabulous visit. From the welcome in reception and throughout my stay ( solo traveller) was exceptional!!
Everything about the hotel is wonderful from the cleanliness of the rooms to the whole hotel environment!’
Location is excellent with the Rubicón marina on your doorstep with a terrific selection of restaurants . Plus the Hypo dino next to the hotel for your essentials.
The beach a mere 15 minute walk makes a pleasant change from the pool.
Back in May

The hotel is quite basic for the price. 'Pool view' rooms cost extra but back onto a large building site. 1st floor rooms (especially 115-130) are incredibly noisy due to building site, constant footsteps and dragging of furniture from above and housekeeping pushing trolleys back and forth all day. Rooms smelt of sewage and could have been cleaner. Breakfast is limited. Items were so hard they were inedible and often ran empty due to just a few overworked staff doing everything. At £180 per night you can find much higher quality hotels. On the plus side, it's in a nice location on the marina.

Hotel Cordial Marina Blanca, with a privileged location in Playa Blanca, one of the island's favourite tourist areas, offers comfortable and modern one and two bedroom flats with air conditioning, kitchen, spacious living room and balcony. Among its facilities you will find a large swimming pool surrounded by a landscaped solarium with sunbeds and parasols, a children's playground and a wide gastronomic offer with a Buffet Restaurant and Pool Bar. 

The Hotel is located just a few steps away from the impressive Marina Rubicón marina, which has a wide range of restaurants, shopping centres, bars, sports facilities and entertainment for all ages, making the Cordial Marina Blanca Hotel the perfect destination for a great holiday with family, friends and for couples.
