After a recent refurbishment and rejuvenation, the MarBella hotel by Mar-Bella Collection is certainly sparkling and showing off its very best side. Décor throughout the hotel and rooms are minimalist while maintaining warmth and character. The guest rooms in particular are decorated in relaxing, earthy tones, with stone-tiled en suite bathrooms, some with rain showers. Suites take the luxury one step further, with private plunge pools on the patio area leading out from these two-bedroom rooms.

With 362 rooms, this hotel is extensive, but with some clever design work and landscaping, it manages to maintain an air of exclusivity. The fresh water and salt water pools are shaded by tall tropical palm trees and white canvas parasols, under which sunbathers can recline on luxury sun loungers. The small sandy beach also benefits from sun loungers and thatched parasols and leads down to crystal clear waters that sparkle in the sunlight.

For those in pursuit of adventure, a packed programme of water sports, hiking, mountain biking, and sports will keep you busy. Children of all ages are also suitably catered for with bespoke kids’ clubs to keep them entertained all day. Finally, for the last word in indulgence, there is a charming onsite spa that uses luxurious local cosmetics brand Apivita and internationally acclaimed Environ products.

The hotel has 362 rooms, 6 buildings, 9 floors. Hotel child prices apply to ages 2–11 years. From 2023 MarBella, Mar-Bella Collection will offer Ultra-All-Inclusive only.

Really enjoyable holiday - but not top marks

We spent a week here in mid October and had the best family holiday! (we have 2 boys aged 10 and 8) As we checked in, the hotel had such a nice vibe - gorgeous smell (which you can buy as a candle in the shop!) and very nice bar areas near the lobby. We loved our room (which was one of the cheapest options), overlooking the main bar areas etc. Plenty of space in the room for the 4 of us. Our boys loved the waterpark pool but we spent most of our time down at the 'beach' which is a large decked area and spent our time swimming in the sea and making the most of the free pedaloes, kayaks, snorkelling gear and paddleboards. What a treat ordering hot and cold drinks and food right to your lounger! We've done a few all-inclusive holidays and this was the nicest hotel we've stayed in terms of: - the ambience and style (very much to our taste!) of the room, lobby, bar areas etc and the grounds are lovely and very well-kept - high standard! - the service was amazing, so many great staff - we've never had to wait such little time to get served *Special shout outs to Despona in M bar and Polysemi, Dollis and Nikos in the Deck Bar where we enjoyed lunching every day. All of these were so warm and really made our stay special!* - the food is good, no complaints - something for everyone! - the drinks are great, cocktails are fantastic and we enjoyed the wine too which we don't usually on all-in holidays We enjoyed the evening entertainment too! Only things to flag: - kids club was already fully booked when we got this (we were there during Welsh term time but was Scottish half term) - this didn't bother us as we had more family time but I guess you can book in advance. Likewise the sunset cruise was already booked as they only do this twice a week. Plenty of availability on the other free boat trip but it was a bit long for us - there's nowhere really to walk to outside the hotel - couple of tavernas, shops, we walked up the big hill behind the hotel. But we knew this when we booked. Plenty of buses to Corfu which pick up right from the hotel door! Overall we were very impressed with this hotel and have no complaints. Credit to all the staff who are the friendliest and most helpful we've met in any hotel, enjoy your winter break!

5 star hotel in a lovely location

Martin J,

Oct 28 2024

From start to finish could not fault this hotel it lives up to a 5 star hotel. It is quite a large hotel but don’t let that put you off as never queued for drinks or to be seated at meal times. The food was excellent at every service plenty of choice fresh and warm in the buffet restaurant I would say probably the best buffet dining we have had to a high standard. 4 a la carte which were fantastic the Asian restaurant was prob our favourite and you get to use a local Greek taverna which the food and service was fantastic plus a bit of dancing and plate smashing for kids. We upgraded to a private swim up room which our boys loved the room was very generous and presented to a high standard maid service morning and night and a restocked mini bar daily. Water slides and aqua park was a bonus with a bar with friendly staff. 2 bars in the lobby plenty of space to sit and activity’s every night from the entertainment team. 2 pools to choose from with a fresh water pool which was a bit cool on entering but once in was lovely. The beach area is a short walk again with a beach bar and snacks with loads of sun loungers to choose free use of the non motorised water sorts which we used daily and a really nice lad called sodarious runs it really good English and so helpful, he also works in the local taverna on an evening. We used the inclusive boat trip to the south of the island which was very relaxing and you get to have a good swim in a small cove once you arrive the water is crystal clear so take your snorkels. All of the staff from arriving to leaving were so pleasant always ready to serve you and with a smile We found the pool bar staff where we spent most of our time couldn’t do enough for you they were so polite and greeted you with a smile they have a lad called Jim who works there who is one the the nicest people we came across at the hotel and a credit to the hotel and works so hard to greet you with a smile and serve your every needs, he even came to meet us on the last morning at reception to say goodbye hopefully see you next time Jim it was a pleasure and thanks for looking after us. Don’t hesitate booking this hotel you will not be disappointed. To all the staff who were all so friendly from the ground workers and chefs and maids keep up the good work.
