Marelen Hotel

This is the 3rd time to this hotel the last being 2016. All rooms have been updated along with public areas to a high standard. Stayed on a B&B basis what can i say the breakfast was fantastic never seen so much selection outstanding. Had the evening buffet a couple of times again outstanding, But what makes this hotel are the hardworking staff in all areas a credit to the hotel always had a smile. And to Theresa who remembered us. Thank you Marelen hope to see you next year

Just returned from a weeks stay. Absolutely fantastic hotel. All staff are so friendly. Everywhere is spotless. We stayed hb basis, breakfast was really good, espically the omelettes. Evening meals had theme nights with plenty of choices and really good quality. Would definitely return and would recommend to family & friends. Location was fab, short walk to a beautiful beach, with bars and restraunts a 10min stroll.

leaving my review far too late... thought I had pressed post and I had not, we visited marelen not this summer but summer of 23, it was amazing honestly do not hesitate, we are planning our return for next year after a turbulent year this year it hasn't been possible to come back this time as expected The marelen and surrounding areas are to die for, the food is brilliant and we're a family not so much really fussy but dietary requirements are needed as mum is diabetic and my daughter is sensory with food she's also autistic so the fact she felt so at ease here she cried when we left is really something The staff make this place a true gem stone so helpful and friendly nothing was ever too much trouble, the eden bar was a true vibe we loved it there Ignore any bad reviews cause this place is worth it's weight in gold we stayed in 412 and 419...we are hoping for ground floor next year due to accessibility but we only had one flight of steps so it's not a big deal, The kids splash was awesome even I joined in, the adult pool always clean and so refreshing, the rooms absolutely immaculate and beds really comfortable we cannot wait to come back for a total mind and body reset

From the moment we walked through the door we were welcomed by very friendly and helpful staff, and that continued throughout the stay. The photos on tripadvisor are pretty much what we experienced. The rooms are clean and the grounds are well kept. There was plenty of choice of food, both at breakfast and evening, with the added bonus of free juices and coffees at breakfast. The food was a good standard for what we paid. Pool-side snack bar for lunches had a really good menu and quality of food was better. A highlight was the Eden cocktail bar in the evenings, which had a lovely finish and vibe. Even after walking up and down the main strip, this place still stood out and lured us back each night - and the price were very reasonable. We never felt a reason to need to leave the hotel. We visited at the start of September - the main pool had plenty of beds and never seemed overcrowded. But a bonus for us was the adult-only pool. Calm and tranquil, and again never a shortage of beds to choose from. Overall a great four-night stay and we would look to return for a similar break in the future. A huge thanks to the hotel and staff for making it so enjoyable and relaxing.

The hotel was wonderful and we really felt the staff excelled and created a warm, comfortable atmosphere. The holiday itself got off to a rocky start with luggage being delayed, but the staff tried to help direct us to places to buy supplies etc. Both pools were absolutely golden, the kids pool especially kept my daughters (ages 10 & 5) entertained for hours on end and we felt little need to leave the hotel which was helpful as it was so very hot. Both areas were clean and well maintained. Variety of food at both breakfast and dinner buffet was good, even my fussy 5 year old managed to find something to eat. I am Gluten & lactose free and in all honesty I did struggle with dinner choice for myself, and was sick a few times due to probably eating something I shouldn’t have by mistake. Breakfast had clear Gluten free options which was very much appreciated. Rooms were a good size, we had a 2 bedroom suite which was roomy for the 4 of us. The room was decorated nicely, we felt bathrooms in particular could do with a little touch up. Location was great - a short walk from a lovely beach and another short walk into the local town. The heat did stop us from doing the latter, but we do hope that when we visit again, we will do so earlier in the year when it’s a little cooler. I felt I needed to take a point off to make the scoring 4 stars because of the following reasons - 1. Ants. Our room had alot of ants and upon speaking with other guests, it seems to be a problem within the hotel. We appreciate that perhaps not much could be done, but we feel that some maintenance (filling in holes, more sealant) would help the problem. We mentioned the ants a few times but felt it was more or less dismissed. 2. The pool bar had great food in general but not many choices for me as a GF and a Dairy/lactose free customer. I mentioned that the hotel restaurant have gluten free bread so could they not make me a sandwich using that and they were insistent that this was not possible. They got quite irritated when I asked a second day if this could be done - so I pretty much ate chips every day. 3. Breakfast and dinner buffet ends very early. Breakfast ends at 10am with things being cleared away about 9.45. We feel this could be extended until 10.30-11am as no one wants to wake up early on holiday, especially with such long, hot & tiring days ahead. Dinner also ends at 9pm and there is no way to get food after this time. We missed dinner a couple of times due to sorting out luggage issues and was met with shrugged shoulders when asked where we can get food from. 4. When checking in with no luggage (thank you British Airways) we asked if the hotel had a supply of toothbrushes, toothpaste etc to get us through our first night and the hotel did not. The porter mentioned the luggage issue happens alot, so we were surprised the hotel does not stock these basic amenities for these situations of they happen so often. Every hotel I have stayed in the past, supply basic amenities. All in all a great stay. Thank you Hotel Marelen, we really do hope to see you again some time in the future.
