The hotel is is a lovely location with lots of facilities. The buffet restaurant is excellent. Massive selection, variety and quality. Sea sports activities are free. Canoe, pedalo, and sail boarding Loads of activities Quality of drinks and cocktails very good. Theodora on reception is a credit to your team who exceeded our expectations

Too many children in the fresh water pool. Unable to swim lengths. The salt water pool is too cold Food poisoning from one meal in the Italian a la carte

- Impeccable property : clean and attention to detail throughout - Great service : our flight was at midnight and we checked out at 11. They gave us a decently priced extension till 6pm (including the full board) and even included dinner for free - Kids activities : focus on kids like the kids club, music and dance and the waterpark - Full board : loads of things included, a boat trip to another island, sunset boat trip, 4 pools with their own eateries, ice cream anytime, cocktails on demand, one free dinner at one of the paid restaurants. There is probably more, we couldn't do it all in a 3 night stay.

The beach and pools are beautiful, the water park is perfect for the kids and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was great and the free boat rides to the city centre really upgraded our experience.

The room we got is not a 5-star hotel room, especially the bathroom. The first room we got was horrible, with a squeaking bathroom door, dirty (we found used contact lenses on the bathroom floor) and not soundproof at all (contrary to the advertisement on booking.com). After a sleepless night we asked for another room and was quickly transferred to a slightly better and much quieter room. Still, the bathroom is 3-stars at best and the room was quite small for a family suite. The pictures in booking.com do not match the reality, at least for the type of room that we booked. However the great facilities in the hotel made up for this to a large extent.

Very beautiful hotel with nice nature surroundings. All inclusive of high quality, especially as we stayed a week and were allowed to dine 4 time a la carte in various high quality restaurants. No real sandy beach as rocky side of Corfu but a very comfortable and very large wood+sand platform with quality long chairs and a quiet bar. Possibility to use once daily for free canoes or paddle boards. One free half-day boat trip to the South of the island.

Maybe a bit far away from Corfu Town (30mns by car). Beach bar menu could have been expanded a bit to better last a week. Not a good starting point if you like to go for long walks. Not a pb for us but beware if older people as the hotel is built on a steep hill.

- very friendly and helpful staff - pools, slides for children of all ages - interesting animations - good food - rich all inclusive package

These are more recommendations for improvements rather then the things I did not like: - would be nice to have cutlery, cups and plates for children, especially when the hotel it targeting families - lack of internal/external playgrounds - there is a kids klub/crash, which is nice, but having such facilities accessible for everyone would be useful, especially during rainy days - moving around the hotel can be challenging as it is very big, more signs would definitely help.

Beautiful hotel, grounds. Loved Ibiza style chilled beach bar sounds with Bali Beds looking out onto the water, charming! Loved the other end with the shallow water. Beautiful clear calm sea and warm enough to swim in. Food delicious every where and plenty of choice for us vegetarians. One of the pools was heated which everyone we enjoyed. Our kids enjoyed a few mornings at the Kids Club which was first class.

The kids could not enjoy the water slides, because the water was not heated and the kids pool ice cold! Also, the kids slides have permanent freezing cold shower jets everywhere from all angles, its not fun, more like cold water torture. There was a lot of looks and tutting at our little ones making noise both from some hotel staff and many guests. We did feel under a lot of pressure to try to keep them quiet. In the end, we found a lone spot at the far end of the beach where the little ones could be as noisy as they liked, the sea was shallow and in the end it was better because we got a real Durrell's experience

All of it. We got an amazing upgrade from standard room with a garden view to a spacious sea view family room with a large balcony. All inclusive is a MUST. Love that they don't require an arm band to identify all inclusive, everything works with your room card. Just present it at the bar or restaurant. Wide selection of amazing food and really good drinks. Our five nights of ALL IN included 3 dinners in A la Carte restaurants. One better than the other. Reservations are mandatory, but the dining department will do their best to suit your wishes. Asian restaurant Kum Kuat was especially good. We often had breakfast there as well, since it was less busy than the buffet. Also the beach bar, we went there for every lunch and had good food with a nice view. The package also included some water sports etc. There is nothing you could miss in this hotel, they have a store, gym etc. No need to even leave the hotel. But if you want to explore, the public transport coach bus conveniently comes up to the hotel reception (the reception is higher up on the mountain) and takes you to Corfu town. There was an adults only sunbathing deck, which was really nice and quiet. Otherwise, the hotel is so large, that it rearly feels crowded. Only time we felt like there were too many people was in the buffet, but I think it depends on the time you decide to eat. You feel so taken care of there. The staff is so considerate and helpful. Definitely download the hotel app, we used it to order drinks by the pool and get an iron delivered to the room. You can also book your dinner there! I would also recommend the hotel transfer, prompt service and nice vehicles.

There were two pool, but only one of them was heated. Understandably it was taken over by families with small children, so I wish the other pool was warm as well. Waterpark was currently under construction, so when it is completed, the families will probably head there. The main reception building had many of the facilities (bar, reception, buffet) (on the 5th floor) and only had two working elevators, which were also used by the cleaners and other staff, so there were often waits. It might be worth mentioning, that the hotel might not be suitable for people with physical disabilities. It is laid across a mountain and has many levels, which of some are only reachable by stairs. The rooms could maybe use a bit of an update/modernization, but nothing too bad.

Everything!! the hotel is absolutely amazing, so many great facilities, right on the lovely beach, super clean all the time! It’s also been kept up to date, and renovated often! loads of activities for kids, have never been in a place with so many families around, which we loved! The best part tho is the stuff!!! every single person was so lovely and went far and beyond to make our stay amazing!!!

The only thing I think could’ve been better was the bathroom in our room, the room itself was renovated but the bathrooms are still older, and not really a five star, if I am being a bit picky!

MarBella is amazing. In every way. We have been twice and LOVED it all. No compromise on luxury and still fantastic for children. The sea and location are stunning, the hotel beautifully designed. And the staff are fabulous, every single one is a commsumate professional. This is not always the case by any means but here I have found them fabulous.

More variety of food at the beach / pool side would be good - but that is not to say what is on offer isn't good, I personally would like a few super healthy things like fresh smoothies or more salads but this is a tiny point as the menu they have appeals to most people, my husband and son loved the burgers!

Amazing family friendly resort with stunning sea and beach, delicious buffet breakfast and dinner all inclusive, lots of kids activities like balloons, face painting, Lego robotics etc. All communication with the hotel prior to and during our stay have been very good. I always get a reply very quickly. Reception has been very informative with all the kids activities booking. We had a beautiful room with private pool and sea view and we enjoyed the sunrise and sunset everyday. Thank you to Housekeeping for cleaning our rooms nicely daily and the sweets at turndown service. My 8 year old loves them! We love the variety of food at the main restaurant and they are yummy. It’s great that we don’t need to worry about where to go for meals everyday as it is inclusive. Both the boat trips the yacht cruise were fantastic especially the yacht cruise. Thank you to Evgenia and Anna who were so helpful with arranging our trip, always replying promptly. We used the Kids Club when we went onto the yacht trip which was wonderful. Poppy was so attentive and efficient to sort out our childcare outside of the Kids Club opening time. Aoife at the Kids Club was very friendly and my 2 year one enjoyed her day there so much that she said she wanted Aoife again the next day! Sadly we had to leave and check out. We also used the photography service and we were really pleased with the family photos…Beautiful memories we could take home to remember and cherish. All in all, It has been the best family holiday we have even had in a while.

It would have been perfect if the water in our private swimming pool and the water park are heated during October. It was quite cold.
