Our 1 week Mark Warner family holiday in Praia da Luz, Portugal left us all bitterly disappointed with our summer vacation and the Mark Warner experience. As seasoned sailors, we have been on a number of Watersports activity holidays and we have always had fantastic time with Sunsail but decided to try the Mark Warner alternative. Ocean Beach Club is... more

The cost of the Mark Warner holiday for half board was higher than other fully inclusive hotels with kids clubs, so I expected a high standard of facilities. The apartment was excellent, large, beautifully clean, fully air-conditioned with a great view of the main swimming pool and sea. The kids clubs were well organised with great staff and a diversity... more

Having been on a few Mark Warner holidays I had high expectations of the ocean club. the staff were lovely and although I like to do more sailing, as my partner does not sail, the beach facilities were fine, and staff extremly helpful and kind. The food was excellent, absolutley amazing. However the hotel manager John - well, one of... more

We have just returned from a week in Praia da Luz, Algarve staying in a self catering apartment at the Ocean Club resort. Luz itself is lovely, the people friendly and helpful. There are some lovely restaurants. We particularly enjoyed The Lime Tree and ate there twice during our week and received fantastic friendly service and wonderful food. The white... more

The washing machine was very welcome ! The food... more

I could not fault the apartment and absolutely would not hesitate to book again. In fact we had already booked to go to another part of the Algarve next year, before visiting Luz and we rather... more

Just returned from 2 weeks self catering at Ocean Club. We travelled with Thomas Cook and everything was as booked. Transfer took 1 hour but when we arrived check in was quick and smooth. We requested a 2 bedroom pool view appartment which also had a fantastic sea view. The appartment was huge with massive lounge and seperate dining room,... more

We have holidayed with Mark Warner many times in the past, but had been going off them - we are a couple without children and, in the early days of Mark Warner they had some nice small adult-only resorts where it was possible to chat to like-minded people over dinner, and make new friends. In recent years we feel that... more

I booked this holiday very last minute with Mark Warner over half term week. We had a lovely apartment which was a 10 minute walk from the Mill Restaurant. The apartment was well equiped, clean and everything worked. The maid came in 3 times a week to clean and change the sheets and the towels were changed once. The Mark... more
