Food repetitive. Hotel quite clean. Location 15 mins walk to bars and restaurants. Staff very unfriendly. Entertainment poor.
I would not visit again. Air conditioning can be hired for 30 euros per week, fridge hired for 25 euros per week, no kettle, cooker or cups saucers etc found this diabolical.

Hi have just returned from 2 weeks in this hotel and we all had a great time. the rooms were clean, spacioius and very comfortable.
We were overlooking the pool so had lovely view. There was a fridge in room which you had to pay extra for, but was well worth it for chilled drinks. We also paid extra for air conditioning which was welcome.
The staff were friendly enough when we needed them, we had breakfast which comprised of toast, cheeses, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, beans (these varied on a daily basis) cereals, fruit juices, tea coffee, cakes, porrige an jelly. sometimes we had croissants.
We sometimes bought lunch at the hotel if we stayed around the pool all dy. lunches were always very good, hot and cold sandwiches, burgers, chips, greek salads, no omplaints there and quite well priced too.
Was not happy with the bar though. Cocktails were 2.5 euros each between 6.30pm and 8.30pm. after that they were 5 euros each and were not as good as the cocktails on the 'strip'.
The hotel is literally 5 minutes from a beautiful beach and about 15 to the main strip full of bars and resturants.
The pool was lovely and clean with plenty of sun loungers for all. a kiddy's pool there also. there was some sort of kiddis rep who enetertained then throug the day but only briefly. we did not stay much in the hotel at night so can't rally speak on entertainment, but they had bingo, karaoke and a greek night which was very popular with guests.
All in all it is a lovely hotel and am sure anyone would enjoy there stay there.

We have just had a fab holiday at the hotel marelen, and cannot fault it. The food was exceelent and always willing to help with new ideas, the kids club is only run mon-thurs but well run and the kids love micheala she has a special knack with children, by the way she also does the entertainment and is always around when you need her, we never paid for any entertainment except for bbq and greeknight which were excellent!
But if you went for a meal you would have to pay as it doesnt't come free!!
The reception are always friendly and they organised a wheelchair for us without any hassle.
I would reccommend this hotel to any family or couple wanting to have some fun, if you are the type to moan you will always find fault in the best of the best......

We stayed at the hotel Marleen in May. We went with our daughter who would be turning 1 whilst we where there.
When we arrived at the hotel we were pointed to our room, we were told it was on the ground floor, so we spent a while walking around trying to find the room, we soon found out that it wasn't on the ground floor but up three flights of stairs, we had to carry the baby, pushchair and suitcases up these.
We had our welcome meeting the next day and spoke to our rep about us moving, she said she would sort it out and let us know what had happened. Later that day we noticed that the rep had gone and so we went to the reception and asked them if we were being moved. They said the rep hadn't told them that we wanted to be moved but if she had then we would of been moved but now it was too late and all the ground floor was booked up. So we had to carry the baby and pushchair up 3 flights of stairs everytime we had to go to the room.
The key you have for the room also has a key on for the electricity, so this means that one person can't go out with the key because the lights go off, so when my boyfriend stayed out a bit later than me it meant he had to wake me up to get in the room, or if he took the key I was left in darkness!!
While we were are the hotel I had my purse stolen from beside the pool when I reported it the staff where very unhelpful. I was very upset as I had just over

First time in Zante and we loved it. Ok first off the hotel, its set just a few 100M from a long sandy beach and 10 minutes walk from the main bars and restraints. We thought this to be ideal.
The hotel grounds were very well presented and the lay out of the low rise apartment blocks was good. The pool got the sun all day with refreshments at hand at a fair price.
The rooms were very good for Greek standards with any problems we encured rectified immediately. But why wouldn't they give us a plug for the bath?. The hotel bar was well stocked with mad bar staff pouring cocktails for 2.5 euro and kids soft drinks for 1 euro.
We only ate one breakfast at the hotel as we were to lazy to get up in time for it but yet again it was cooked well and good value.
The staff were very friendly and even charged my mobile as I forgot my charger. All in all the hotel was very good value indeed.
All the local bars and restraints are geared for the quitter holiday maker and families witch is just what we wanted, to wind down and relax.
I think all the prices are standardised as most restraints charged about the same for the food and drink. Yet again the food was good on the whole and service was always with a smile.
Taxis to Lagana were 7 euro so a noisy night out wasn't to far away, but as its the end of the season most places were closing down.
The beach wasn't that clean, it could have been much better but we always managed to find a good spot to relax on.
The turtles lay there eggs here during the summer months and your not allowed on the beach in the evenings for this reason.
I must recommend divers paradise for a great diving trip, it

Visited Hotel Marelen from 16th June to 30th.
First time to Greece,& wont be our last. The Hotel was well situated,beach at one end of the road, shops at the other. The hotel was clean,the staff friendly. The owner was walking around every day making sure all was well. We had a two bed apartment,corner,ground floor(406)which was very spacious, no-where to sit really though,only the chairs in the kitchen, but that wasnt really a prob as we were out exploring every day.
The rooms are very hot at night and you have to pay for the air con about
