Mareblue Beach

We loved our stay at this wonderful hotel. Set in a gorgeous bay, the hotel certainly lived up to our expectations. The staff were helpful and approachable; Kosta the manager, in particular went out of his way to make us feel welcome. I went with two grown up children (18 and 21); they enjoyed the mixture of relaxation and excitement. The Animation team took them out to partake of the local (a couple of miles away) nightlife. We have been to Corfu many times, but this is the first time that my children have actually wanted to return to the same hotel - which is saying something as we have stayed at some of the best hotels on the island. What is more - we are going to experience the delights of this Bond-themed hotel again. I have just made a booking for next year! Back to lovely Corfu and back to the wonderful Marblue.

Stayed here with a group of 5 friends in October for a week, the grounds for the hotel are nice, rooms not overly clean and basic! The entertainment on a night is hit and miss but Karaoke by far the best. Not much going off in the day but with it being out of season this is kind of expected. Both restaurants in hotel really lovely would definitely recommend them. Bar stops serving all inclusive at 11 but there is a couple of places which are great for tourists a 1 minute walk away out the back gates. Couple of shops near the resort and a beach where you can rent a boat for the day which was greats. LOTS of stray cats and HUNDREDS of wasps everywhere including inside bar! Buffet overly busy we named it ‘hunger games’ because it wasn’t enjoyable but the food was ok. Overall a basic 3 star stay which is what is expected (not 4)

Staff are rude and unhelpful, they look really unhappy to be pouring you drinks. The pool is slimy and over crowded Bottled water is provided on the first day, after that buy your own! No iron - Only an iron service for 14 euros Stuck in the middle of nowhere Charge you for WiFi and bus out of there that runs once a day in the morning and returns you 3 hours later. The spa is a rip off, you get 15 minutes free, if you want more you are looking at 60 euros minimum. Couldn't find the kids club anywhere? I saw them during the day for older kids like water polo games and dancing but not for young children. Take medicine for children - They don't stock any Went to book A la carte on 2nd day and was told fully booked - Only got a table in both as I complained about all of the above, manager was rude and all she could do is get us a table at the restaurants at 6:30pm for the two hours we were at the pizzeria it was dead (strange when fully booked!) Restaurant buffet was over crowded and you lose your table as soon as you get up for food. Nice to have a balcony, however you are exposed to the person next to you so it is awkward if you want to relax in peace on the balcony as they are literally next to you. Bedrooms lovely, however bathroom needs a refurb. The best days we had were out of the hotel, there is a bar with a private pool that is clean and empty, a beach with beds 21 euros for all day and inc water and power bank, boat trip around the island. I wouldn't ever return to this hotel, I feel it was labelled a 4 star due to the setting as it is a beautiful location and the views are lovely. That is all I can say is a positive especially when we paid £2400 for 1 week! Oh sorry I lied, the AC was good in the room.
