Mareblue Beach Resort

"We enjoyed our 4 night stay in this lovely hotel during October half term. The room was spacious and clean and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The water in the pool was unbelievably cold but once your body became used to it, it was fine! The children loved being in the water regardless of the temperature! We went to the two beaches close by and swam in the sea too (which was warmer than the pool!) The children loved the cats which roamed the grounds and were particularly amused when one kitten jumped onto the pool table and chased the balls one evening when they were playing pool. The restaurant served such a variety of food in such huge quantities it was hard to choose what to have. I felt as though I spent much of my holiday eating just because it was there! I had read many reviews mentioning the mosquito problem before we travelled and so I was well stocked up with repellent sprays and plug ins, however, the item I used most was the bite and sting relief gel. I truly believe that some people are more attracted to mosquitos than others and no amount of repellants make any difference. Sadly I am one of those people so I got bitten countless times whilst my adult daughter only got three and the two grandchildren didn't get any. There were wasps beside the pool which were a bit annoying but I felt that some guests were leaving half finished sugary drinks lying around which just encourages wasps. I also saw the odd toasted sandwich and chips just abandoned by the sunbeds. If they had been put in the bins properly there wouldn't have been so many wasps. We were disappointed not to be able to get booked into the spa at all as they were fully booked during our stay. I wonder how anyone manages to get a treatment booked if they haven't pre-booked before their stay. We stayed in a suite which gave us the luxury of two bathrooms which was an added bonus with having two pre- teens with us! The sofa beds were not particularly comfortable but ok to put up with for the length of our stay. I might not have managed for a whole week sleeping on one of them. Overall I would recommend this hotel in spite of its remote location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here."

"Went for half term with my 2 teenagers. Our room was nice, beds a little uncomfortable but the decor made up for it. We were near the lobby but a bit of a trek from the main pool. Weather was pretty good for the most part, pool area nice but the pool was freezing cold. The worst part was the wasps!! They were a constant annoyance but we got used to them and I only got stung once. I must warn you about the mosquitos. They were awful, millions of them about during the day but especially at night, I bought mosquito spray from the on-site market but it didn't stop me getting eaten alive, im still covered head to toe in bites. Food was great, lots of choices and 2 other good restaurants you can book in to. (but only once) There wasn't enough to entertain my 2 boys and we were pretty bored on the 2 rainy days and most evenings, we went to bed early and ended up buying Uno and a pack of cards to alleviate the boredom. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere!!! I ended up hiring a car for a couple of days to go exploring. Best 2 days of the holiday, highly recommend it, but use Corfu Drive near the beach not the Hotel hire prices, much cheaper!. I loved Corfu but I wouldn't return to the Mareblue, I would stay nearer a town. But don't get me wrong, the resort is really nice and pretty surroundings just a tad out of the way."

"Flea bitten wildcats roaming around the resort and they are allowed to sit and sleep where the clean plates are kept. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. These creatures all need to be removed and destroyed."
