Request or book a pool-view apartment early and pay the supplement; it is generally quieter, more pleasant, and sunnier than the road side.
Guests tend to rate Maricel highly for its excellent Port de Pollença position, just a very short walk from the beach, promenade and Pine Walk. The apartments are often praised for their generous living space, cleanliness and useful self-catering layout, while the garden pool area is popular for its plentiful sunbeds. It is a simple apartment stay rather than a full-service hotel, though, so travellers looking for extensive on-site facilities or hotel-style extras may prefer a larger property.
Real advice grouped by theme — drawn from guest reviews of Apartamentos Maricel.
Request or book a pool-view apartment early and pay the supplement; it is generally quieter, more pleasant, and sunnier than the road side.
Do not dismiss a road-facing apartment; the road is usually quiet, balconies can be sunny, and the Hotel Miramar courtyard may be visible.
Choose an upper-floor apartment for a better outlook, more sun, quieter air-conditioning, and pool-facing balconies on the first and second floors.
Choose a ground-floor pool-view apartment for a larger terrace and more outdoor space.
Choose a second-floor pool-side apartment for a quieter stay.
Ask exactly where your apartment is located before confirming the booking.
Avoid apartments close to the lobby.
Consider Maricel 1, apartment 201, for a top-floor view; Maricel 2 is newer but slightly smaller.
Bring earplugs as a precaution.
Use the provided beach towels, but do not use them to reserve sun loungers.
Check in at Hotel Miramar across the road.
Use the Maricel pool even when staying in the hotel.
Choose a stay outside peak holiday periods if you prefer a peaceful, adult-oriented atmosphere.
Avoid relying on the pool for very young toddlers because it may be too cold and deep; it suits older children better.
Use the apartment kitchen if you want to prepare your own meals.
Use the regular bus services to Palma and Pollença.
Try the dark chocolate ice cream at Cafe 1919, a short stroll away.
Book directly with the hotel to improve your chances of getting the room or apartment you want.
Be aware that Suite 107 has thin walls, so neighbouring noise may carry.
Apartamentos Maricel is a relaxed, modern base with a pleasantly personal feel: low-key apartments gathered around a large, colourful garden rather than a formal resort complex. Spacious sun terraces, a swimming pool and a separate paddling pool for children make it easy to settle into unhurried holiday routines, while each one- or two-bedroom apartment has its own balcony or terrace.
The setting is especially handy in Port de Pollença, tucked a street back from the beach and pedestrian promenade. You can be on the seafront in moments, then return to the quieter rhythm of the gardens. With generously sized living rooms and kitchen areas, these apartments suit couples, families and independent travellers who prefer self-catering space to a conventional hotel room.
Guests regularly single out the location, often noting how close the apartments are to the waterfront and Pine Walk. The pool area is appreciated for its ample loungers, and the apartments are frequently described as clean, comfortable and a good size. Practical touches such as air conditioning and well-equipped kitchens also come up, helping the place feel straightforward and easy for a longer stay.
