Hotel Costa Galana

Our stay here was absolutely perfect—10 out of 10 without a doubt! From the moment we arrived, every staff member went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The service was consistently warm, professional, and attentive. I especially want to highlight Miss Denis from the club—she was incredibly helpful, always ready with clear, detailed information about activities, local tips, and recommendations. Her genuine care made a huge difference in our experience. The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and beautifully designed, with a great location just minutes from the city center. We found it super convenient for exploring Mar del Plata, and everything we needed was within easy reach. If you're looking for a relaxing yet vibrant getaway with top-tier hospitality, this place is a must-visit. I’d happily come back and recommend it to anyone.

Hotel Sainte Jeanne

Even though I live in Mar del Plata, I finally had the chance to visit Hotel Sainte Jeanne in person and stay for three nights with my closest friend—what a perfect getaway! The hotel is absolutely stunning, from the elegant rooms to the luxurious spa area. The indoor heated pool is a real treat—featuring multiple water jets, a jacuzzi, and even a projector for movie nights! We actually watched a film from inside the pool—so cool and unforgettable. The restaurant is fantastic—I’ve been there before and keep coming back because of the excellent food and service; they also offer a great executive lunch menu. The café is equally impressive. Everyone on staff was incredibly kind and attentive. One small suggestion: at breakfast, there’s a photo frame indicating it’s not self-service, but it’s placed in a spot that’s hard to see. When we tried to serve ourselves since no one was around, we were gently reminded it wasn’t allowed—which felt awkward, especially since we later noticed several other guests had the same experience. Also, while items like cream cheese, jam, dulce de leche, butter, and more are available, they’re not clearly displayed or mentioned, so guests might miss them entirely. That said, these are just minor improvements—not at all detracting from how exceptional the hotel truly is. I’m sharing this feedback with the best intentions, knowing such changes could make an already amazing stay even better.

Hermitage Hotel

Staying at Hermitage Hotel was an absolute delight from the moment I arrived. Located just a short walk from the beach and close to downtown Mar del Plata, it’s perfectly positioned for both relaxation and exploring. The hotel’s classic architecture and elegant interiors instantly create a sense of timeless sophistication—warm, inviting, and far from impersonal. My check-in experience with Carla at reception was outstanding: professional, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. She didn’t just handle my paperwork—she anticipated needs, offered helpful suggestions, and made me feel like a valued guest right away. The room itself was spotless, beautifully furnished, and packed with modern comforts. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I slept so well that I woke up refreshed every morning. What truly sets this place apart is the staff—their kindness, attention to detail, and willingness to help shine through in every interaction. From the bellhop to the housekeeping team, everyone goes the extra mile without making it feel forced. It’s clear they take pride in delivering exceptional service. Whether you're here for business or leisure, Hermitage offers a peaceful retreat where tradition meets comfort. It’s not just a hotel—it’s an experience. I left feeling completely satisfied and already thinking about coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable stay in Mar del Plata.

Sheraton Mar del Plata Hotel

Staying at Sheraton Mar del Plata Hotel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Argentina. This hotel truly stands out as one of the best in the area—perfectly located just steps from the beach, with stunning ocean views that make every morning magical. The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and incredibly comfortable, with a plush bed that made falling asleep easy and waking up a joy. The air conditioning worked flawlessly, which was a lifesaver during the warm days. Staff were attentive and genuinely helpful, offering great local tips on where to eat and explore nearby towns. Breakfast was a real treat—wide variety of fresh options, from classic Western dishes to some authentic Argentine specialties. It felt like a home away from home, and the overall experience was exceptional. I’d definitely come back without hesitation.

Hotel Spa Republica

This was my first stay at Hotel Spa Republica, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I arrived, every staff member went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The service across all departments—front desk, housekeeping, restaurant, and breakfast—was exceptional, attentive, and genuinely caring. The spa facilities are top-notch: the sauna is relaxing, and the pool area feels like a true retreat. I highly recommend Gabriela for her fangotherapy session and Paula for her deep-relaxing massage—both were rejuvenating and professionally done. The room was spotless every day, and the breakfast spread was delicious and varied. Valet parking staff were courteous and efficient, making it easy to leave the car in safe hands. Located just a short walk from the city center, it’s also convenient if you’re exploring by metro. Overall, an outstanding experience with incredible value—definitely planning to return.

Hotel Tronador

I've stayed at Hotel Tronador before and I'm back again—definitely a place worth returning to. The service is excellent, and the facilities are top-notch. The pool area is fantastic—calm, inviting, and perfect for relaxing after a long day. It's one of the main reasons I keep coming back; it really delivers on tranquility. Breakfast is solid, though I did notice it seemed slightly smaller in portion size compared to my previous visit. Still, the quality remains strong. Staff are attentive and friendly throughout the stay. One small note: the parking space provided isn't very spacious, especially if you're driving a larger vehicle. But honestly, that minor issue doesn't take away from the overall experience. Great value, great location, and a peaceful retreat—highly recommend for anyone visiting Mar del Plata.

Hotel Las Rocas

Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight. I booked a Single Executive room—compact but perfectly equipped with everything I needed. The balcony was stunning, offering breathtaking views that made every moment feel special. Staff were incredibly attentive and friendly throughout my stay. I made use of the spa facilities, which, while modest in size, were highly enjoyable—the sauna, Scottish shower, and heated pool were all relaxing and well-maintained. Location couldn’t be better; it’s within easy reach of everything I wanted to explore. The price-to-quality ratio is excellent, making it a great value for money. One small suggestion: adding a power outlet near the bedside tables would make charging devices much more convenient. Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and I’ll definitely be returning.

Bristol Apart Hotel

I've stayed at Bristol Apart Hotel seven times over the past seven years, and I keep coming back because it's just perfect for me. The location is ideal—just a short walk to the beach and super convenient for exploring downtown Mar del Plata. Everything else is excellent: clean rooms, friendly staff, and great value for the price. A few small things could be improved though. The hot water gets scalding instantly—there’s no way to cool it down once it’s on, so installing a thermostatic mixer would help avoid accidents. Also, the bathroom floors are slippery, so adding rubber mats would prevent falls. Lastly, the kitchen is missing some essentials like a hairdryer, iron, cutting boards, and serving dishes—adding these would make it even better. But honestly, these are minor issues. The overall experience is fantastic, and I’ll definitely return again next year.

Club Sol Mar Del Plata

Staying at this property was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from the beach and surrounded by stunning ocean views from every room. Everything is immaculately maintained, with brand-new beds and mattresses that made for a truly restful night’s sleep. The cleanliness was top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond with their warm, attentive service. Every detail felt thoughtfully designed, whether it was the layout, the ambiance, or the seamless guest experience. It’s rare to find a place that delivers such a perfect balance of comfort, beauty, and hospitality. If you’re looking for a memorable getaway in Mar del Plata, this is the one to book.

NH Gran Hotel Provincial

This hotel is absolutely massive—so big that navigating the corridors to your room can feel a bit disorienting at first. Thankfully, the signage is clear and you quickly find your way around. Still, walking through the long hallways, the atmosphere felt a little dull and repetitive. A small suggestion: adding some indoor plants along the pathways could really liven up the space. Even high-quality plastic plants would work well—almost indistinguishable from real ones—and they’d not only brighten the ambiance but also serve as helpful visual markers for guests who tend to get lost. The breakfast, though, was outstanding—especially the medialunas and faturas, which were fresh, buttery, and utterly delicious. Definitely worth waking up early for!

Hotel Dorá

I had a great stay at Hotel Dorá in Mar del Plata! The restaurant and its dishes were excellent, the breakfast was outstanding with a wide variety of fresh options. The climate-controlled pool was a real highlight—perfect for relaxing anytime of year. The only areas that could use some improvement are the room amenities: adding a mini-fridge would be a nice touch, and updating the room decor slightly—especially the bedding, curtains, and windows—would make a big difference. The table linens in the restaurant also looked a bit worn and could use replacing. However, the staff absolutely made up for everything—they were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout my visit. Their warm hospitality truly enhanced the experience. Overall, it’s a well-located, comfortable hotel with strong value for money. I’d definitely recommend it and consider returning.

Hotel Astor

Staying at Hotel Astor was an absolute delight. Located right in the heart of Mar del Plata, it's just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by great cafes and shops. The rooms are incredibly comfortable and spotlessly clean—so peaceful and relaxing. The breakfast and dinner were outstanding, with fresh ingredients and delicious flavors that really stood out. I've visited twice: once in January 2016 with my dad, and again in March 2023 with a close friend, and both trips were unforgettable. Every detail feels thoughtfully done, from the warm staff to the cozy ambiance. If you're looking for a perfect base in Mar del Plata, this hotel is definitely worth considering. I’d happily come back again and again.
