WOW, doesn't look much from the highway but this place is amazing. The owner will go out of their way to say hello, the beds are 10/10, bar is amazing, bar maids are amazing, the vibe is on point, the aesthetic is perfect. Wish my work put me up here all the time.
Stayed for 1 week, honest review below. Would rate 3.5 but no option. Pros!! Location - amazing location, close to everything. Pubs and restaurants as soon as you leave the hotel, beach a 10 min walk away, 35 mins from airport - couldn’t ask for better. Rooms - cleaned daily, modern, lovely bathroom, pushed our 2 double beds together so had a massive bed for the stay which was lovely! Cot for baby too. All inclusive - never waited more than 2 minutes for a drink, good selection of soft drinks and alcohol. Includes ice creams too which is great for the kids. Pool - big pool with loads of sun beds, never had to fight for a space (we did go end of September so not sure if different in peak summer) our little one loved the little splash park. Cons!! Check in: 2 buses arrived at the same time so check in was at least 45 minutes long, no one extra on desk to help busy period. If your room isn’t ready, it’s 6€ per suitcase for a locker (people just leave them outside in the hallway to save paying). Food: worst part of the holiday was definitely the food, by day 3 we couldn’t stand the smell of it and had to eat out for the rest of the holiday. They try their best with different themed nights (tacos on Mexican night etc) but very small choice of food which the majority consisted of chicken nuggets, chips, burgers, etc- not what you want to be eating every lunch & dinner for a week. Was happy to get home to have a vegetable. Rooms: even though the cleaners cleaned daily, not once was the bed sheets changed (I’m sure if you asked they’d do it as the staff were really lovely) Lifts: only two very small lifts and one kept breaking down so had everyone trying to get into the one lift which wasn’t ideal for a pram - especially at lunch / dinner times you’d have to wait ages for the lift. Cleanliness: public toilets weren’t great - met a friend and she told us the one night there was poo rubbed over all the walls in the women’s toilets ??? Overall - wouldn’t go all inclusive again as so close to everything and restaurants can be so cheap (especially laurel Hardy’s which is a must!!!) perfect location for first holiday away with a little one.
Stayed here for 4 nights...calling it a 4 star hotel is a joke... Firstly...check in at 3pm..fine hotel policy Secondly ... no fridge in the room given.. The elevators were not working for 2 of the 4 days we stayed..it was a pain to walk down from 7th floor to the first and the ground floor a few times with kids with us... Room - compact...no fridge..we called reception then they provided us with one...not at all sound proof..could hear kids running in lobby..the AC was for namesake...I was sweating in the night.. Even a 3 star hotel provides with a kettle..some glasses and tea and coffee items along with at least 1 water bottle...here all we had was 4 paper cups given just once...I had to buy a glass for the kids Pool area- I was baffled that they would not provide with pool towels....I mean seriously?? As a result there were kids running in the lobby area without being dried up adequately causing water on the floor...we even saw a man slip and fall near the lift on either 23rd or 22nd October. It was after he fell that one chef who was passing by put a caution sign there. Staff- no smile...at all apart from a couple in the dinner service. Food - buffet...not ready nor organised.not a single time in 4 days we could see the buffet fully stocked up for breakfast or dinner.. It was obvious that they were accommodating guest beyond their capacity and failing badly. Never again to this hotel even if it is free
As you come in the hotel it's lovely very clean. Rooms are clean . Cleaned everyday. The food is terrible not much choice at all. Chips and pizza . The snack bar when we first went food was cold . Next time it was empty. Would not class this as 4 star.people we have spoke to all said the same food terrible. Breakfast is the only one that is decent
Just got back from 5 nights at marinada with a 2 year old. Great value for money brilliant location rooms are modern recently refurbished shower worked perfect there's a fridge in room , ac , and a nice balcony beds are comfortable and room was cleaned to a high standard. Staff work hard and are really friendly especially at the dinning area they was really good with my 2 year old food is decent nothing amazing but what I would of expected just enough choice for everyone snacks in the day by the pool burgers etc which are really good, pools are good and the water fountain features my 2 year old loved them they was installing a new play area / park while I was there so didn't get to use that because it wasn't ready but looks great. We stayed in the apartments across the road we will definitely be staying again we had a really good experience and really enjoyed our time here thank you to all the staff at Marinada we had a great time and can't wait to come back ♥️
