Just very average not worth the price. Only amenities are pools, the “hot tubs” they advertise in certain room balconies are cold and you have to push the button every 20 seconds for the jets to stay on. The small beach is covered in lounge chairs and umbrellas which you have to pay for - €3.50 a chair per day. Nothing special

Lovely hotel in front of the waves.

Hotel is new and in great condition. Spacious room, large bathroom, great balcony only a few meters from the crushing waves. Wonderful restaurant right on top of the waves. Two beautiful pools, one of them overlooking the sea and only a few meters away from it. Great beach right in front of the hotel, ultra long beach to walk either way. Only downside is the breakfast ; although it gives the basics that you expect, it does not offer any local delicacies.

What a beautiful hotel. I give the a Marika Hotel 5 stars. Cannot fault it at all. We had a room with a view of the pool, but could also see the sea. A great size balcony. The decor was modern and excellent quality and beds comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel was immaculately clean, the cleaners were so friendly too. We had breakfast included and there was a great choice. From fruit and yoghurts, English breakfast, pastries, a range of nuts, juices and hot drinks. We had dinner at the restaurant a couple of days and was delicious. Outside the hotel you can get a bus for €1.70 to each end of the island. One end is the Old Town which has restaurants, shops and markets and chapels. A beautiful town.

Flott beliggenhet rett på stranden. Flotte basseng. Litt minus at solsenger koster ekstra på stranden. Ok mat i restauranten, men servicenivået var middels. Personalet var litt likegyldige og gjorde bare minimum innsats. Kjedelig og basic frokost buffet.

La dernière nuit a été tout simplement horrible, environ une dizaine de coupures d’électricité qui nous ont tenu éveillés toute la nuit. Une lumière de sécurité face au lit éclairait toute la chambre à chaque coupure. 0 mots de l’hôtel à ce sujet. Le reste est correcte mais la chambre avec le Jet Tub( qui est juste un bain froid à léger remous) ne vaut pas son prix.

Lors de notre arrivée, nous avons été placés dans une chambre où il y avait une forte odeur de moisissure qui nous touchait aux poumons. Nous nous sommes rendus compte que l’odeur provenait principalement de la salle de bain. Nous avons demandé à être changés de chambre, mais la réceptionniste nous a dit que c’était impossible avant le lendemain. Après avoir communiqué avec Expedia, l’hôtel nous a « miraculeusement » trouvé une autre chambre. Toutefois, dans celle-ci, il y avait encore une odeur d’humidité désagréable. Nous avons trouvé de la moisissure noire dans la thermopompe de la chambre. Celle-ci n’a vraisemblablement pas été nettoyée depuis longtemps. De plus, durant notre séjour de 5 nuits, nous avons dû tuer de nombreuses petites mouches noires qui se promenaient dans notre chambre. En plus des problèmes de propreté, l’insonorisation est quasi inexistante. Nous étions réveillés chaque fois que quelqu’un passait dans le corridor ou parlait un peu trop fort dans les chambres à côté. Nous ne recommandons pas cet hôtel qui a plutôt tout d’un motel.

Traumhafte Aussicht,aber nur mässig empfehlenswert

Vorteile: - perfekte Lage gegenüber verschiedenen Läden, Bushaltestelle und Post - zugehöriger Parkplatz direkt neben dem Hotel - Restaurants ganz in der Nähe (wir empfehlen insbesondere das Olive Tree) - nur bei Zimmern mit Meersicht: atemberaubend schöne Aussicht, allerdings sieht man auch auf den Pool; andere Zimmer sind jedoch nach unten versetzt (sozusagen im Keller) und haben überhaupt keine Aussicht (nicht empfehlenswert) - Essen direkt am Meer/Strand Nachteile: - die Professionaliät des Personals lässt sehr zu wünschen übrig: Die Reception war meistens nicht besetzt (die zuständige Person war am Plaudern/Flirten mit dem Barkeeper). Einmal war das Zimmer bei unserer Rückkehr nicht geputzt worden, was mit einem Schulterzucken quittiert wurde. Beim Frühstück flirtete einer vom Personal offen mit einer Touristin (bzw. sie mit ihm) und das vor allen Gästen - extrem unangenehm! - das Badezimmer roch schlimm und das Wasser lief aus der Dusche ins Bad - hellhöriges Zimmer, das sich ausserdem nicht ausreichend verdunkeln liess (wir mussten ein paar Tricks anwenden, um schlafen zu können) - das Frühstück war ok, aber die Fruchtsäfte waren vollkommen künstlich und absolut ungeniessbar
