Ranked #2 of 5 hotels in Agios Ioannis Peristeron

Found on the sun-soaked shoreline of Corfu's southeast coast, MarBella is a world full of love and life. It gives families five-star quality and all they need to relax and have fun. And plenty of it. It's about togetherness. Eating, swimming, resting, playing, dreaming, and exploring as a family. Precious moments to remember forever. And seeing...

We got a bargain at this hotel in the BA sale after switching from a hotel not too far away. We usually stay at Ikos resorts so we were looking forward to trying a similar hotel style to see if it was as good.

We had a private pool suite which we upgraded to last minute - the room was stunning (just renovated) - lots of space and the kids loved the lights around the TV. The bed was very comfortable. However there were a few issues that had the management spend 1 night in the room with their own family they would notice 1) The bathroom (huge bedroom size) has no door so every smell is shared with your entire group. 2) There was no where to hand towels in the bathroom 3) There was nowhere outside or inside to hang wet swimming items to dry - so you had to use the furniture. 4) there is 1 sofa in the lounge for a room of 4 people so if you all need to sit down whilst its raining or an evening you cant - I had to sit in the bedroom on the bed, the hotel wont offer any more chairs and blamed the tour operators (rubbish). 5) the Pool was absolutely freezing - barely useable in the week we were there and some heating would be simple given the cost of these pools. 6) the room we had had access from the pathway and all day long you had people staring at you and into your room. 7) If you get there and there is a door for cleaners or pool boys outside then move - they don't care about waking you up at all hours 6am-7am-8am. 8) the turn down service was very hit and miss and often it was just towels passed in the door - no real luxury here. 9) The bin for the room was a bathroom bin and useless. 10) bath towels were tiny - not sure why they cant have proper adult sized towels.

We looked at a superior standard family room as well - it stunk of damp but are being upgraded apparently - I would walk out if allocated this room to start with as the smell of damp was unareable.

The food was nice enough, we were lucky enough to eat ala carte every night and whilst its missing that wow factor it was very good. Not Ikos standard by any stretch. The only issue we had was in the French which was not to our taste (not a veal fan).

The pool side service to sunbeds was very frustrating, If Jim was there it was better but on his day off it was non existent as staff just stood by the bar - and when you went up to order you got pointed to them to order and tell them where you were sitting. When Jim was around it was much better but he was the only one making any real effort to take guests orders. Lunch from the van is a good idea but not great. The wasps are a nightmare...

The evening entertainment was inside and because it was near half term the corridors were full with kids running around - they were walking around the fountain outside and a few nearly slipped and broke their bones whilst running around it - we have children and had them with us and there no way would let mine in a dirty fountain and who knows where the parents were. Its such a shame as if they got hurt im sure they would of complained. The entertainment was quite poor and a few of the singers were terrible - perhaps if it were outside it would of been better as the indoors was either too loud or you had 2 sets of entertainment from 2 bars coming at you from 2 different locations.

We would return to this hotel if it were over £1000 cheaper than its ikos rivals, but its worth the extra to go there frankly as they go the extra mile the Marbella wouldn't go.
