Marinus Beach Hotel

"We just returned from this Hotel from a one-night stay. I really thought for the price we would get top Noch service and excellent food and facilities, but the Hotel did not live up to our expectations. The reception staff were good, and the room was lovely despite being small and lacking little things like milk to add to your tea and coffee in the room, however it was clean and we had a good night’s rest. The Hotel claims to be a four star; I have to beg to differ on that estimation. Its location is great, right next to a beach but a beach with no sand only small, crushed stones that you can’t walk bare foot on without hurting your feet. Most of the staff were fine however we went down for breakfast shortly before 10.30am which is when they like to stop allowing residents into the dining room. On arrival the waiter (who was the only one on duty) did not greet us, say good morning or anything, in fact he looked quite angry and annoyed. He picked his phone up to check the time and said in a strict manner, “You have 10 minutes before the kitchen closes”. We proceeded to the buffet spread but no juices or eggs were there. I requested two orange juices which I think may have annoyed him more. Once we sat down, he brought the juices and I asked if I could order an egg? His response was not very nice. He raised his voice and in a firm manner told us “I have already told you the kitchen is closed” …. So, I asked again, “can you please just fry one egg”? He repeated again, “THE KITCHEN IS CLOSED” I really do not know if he was having a bad day, but I felt the manner in which he spoke to us was rude and unnecessary. I really do not know if he has any qualifications within the hospitality industry or experience come to that, but they should not employ people who are rude to their paying customers. That episode left the very last impression of our experience of this Hotel. Shame it was not a pleasant one."

"Beautiful hotel. Small and very nice. Only high quality. Staff very friendly and professionel. Fantastic view. Nice pool and clean beach. Only but. We paid a lot for a view and got a beautiful view - with a very big crack, one meter, in the middle of the window! Their restaurant is excellent with reasonable prices."

"A fine, very stylish boutique hotel in a fantastic location with beautiful rooms, great, attentive, and very lovely staff. We are looking forward to our next vacation at the Marinus Beach Hotel"
