Stayed there for a week in March 2011 with Partner and my elderly mother. Couldn't be more delighted with whole service given to us. Rooms & pool spotless, plenty of comfy loungers. area staff couldnt do enough for us. Guy on reception spoke fluent english so no language problems. Bar snacks lovely and so cheap. Was back in Tenerife in July, (stayed in Park de la Paz as was package deal and good value or so we thought. It was a hell hole. Read my review on that ) Went back to visit Mar Ola and were welcomed back and given a free meal & drinks. Would definately stay there again and recommend to anyone. It is quiet so not suitable for teenagers.But 5 min walk from main strip. It has great disabled friendly rooms also.We booked this thru "On the Beach".

We went here in early July. Very quiet as the busy season hadn't kicked off yet.

Got a triple room at £40 a night on booking.com

Big rooms, very clean, tidy. Nice pool with bar. Close enough to bars to walk but long walk. Cheap taxi ride away. Couple decents restaurants nearby to get food. Just out of the main part but a lot cheaper!

I went to Marola Park for a one week holiday and I can honestly say it is one of the best holidays I have ever been on.

The staff were lovely, very attentive and so friendly. Their english was very good and they couldnt have done any more.

The rooms were exactly what we needed. We had a room facing the street and despite thoughts that it was going to be noisy, it was not at all and was actually really nice to view some of the nightlife on the street across. There was even a karaoke bar close to the hotel, that later on at night, you could faintly hear the songs from - which made a nice, summer-y atmosphere.

Maids cleaned the room every day (something we were very surprised at!) and were kind enough to even wash the plates in the sink!

The hotel overall was very clean and the small hut that served the drinks throughout the day and the night, was perfect in refreshing us in the warm days.

It was only about a twenty minute walk - at a fairly relaxed pace - and then you were right near the main part of Tenerife. There was a strip of English bars, which were good if you felt like having some home-cooked food that you recognised!
A lot of live acts were also on during the nights, with well priced cocktails and meals!

All in all, we had an awesome time and the hotel was something we never expected to get. The money we paid - half board - was definitely worth what we got...and more.

Supermarkets were close by (either directly on the right for neccesities or a further walk for a large SuperMercado) and the hotel/apartment itself was perfect.

Definitely recommend!

Family trip at the hotel a week in November-December 2011, our second all-inclusive trip. The restaurant food was good but the selection is perhaps a little sparse. The theme nights were a Mexican, Chinese, British and International. Each all-inclusive order receipt signature was really stupid.
Heated swimming pool, but a children's pool was cold. Gym was lousy.
Room nice and clean, quiet enough. Friendly staff, but the pool bar serving a slow speed.
