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.

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
