Marelen Hotel Zakynthos

Best hotel from the check in to the lovely guy that showed us & carried suitcase for us the waiters don’t stop clearing plates/ tables which means no insects ect. Housekeeping / chefs must also get a mention for their amazing work 10/10. We were half board & only ate out once as there was such a lovely variety every day. Our room over looked the adult pool which we absolutely loved. Occasionally we had lunch poolside or you can have a takeaway to eat on the balcony I kept bottle of wine in our fridge. Location was perfect we enjoyed walking along the beach to Laganas looking for loggerhead turtles in the sea.

Absolutely amazing hotel - from the second we arrived, the staff made us feel like family. The amenities are great - from the multiple pools to the bars, everything is high quality. The buffet breakfast and dinners are so tasty and there is a really good variety - there’s something for everyone. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Amazing Hotel & Staff. We normally book self catering due to my fiancé being a fussy eater, we decided to go B&B and he managed to find more things than my self, best buffet breakfast we’ve ever had. Quality and value of the pool bar was also really good. Adults only pool was so peaceful & quiet. The eden bar was lovely to enjoy a cocktail before going back to our room in the evening. Hotel is also a short walk from shops, beach & restaurants, perfect location: Would 100% stay here again.

By far the best hotel in the area. Stayed several times before but it is better than ever now. Everything so clean and the staff are very friendly. Th breakfast was absolutely amazing enhanced by the freshly squeezed orange juice. So much variety and well presented food too. The beds by the adult pool are very comfy and the provision of pool side towels is also a bonus. Don't hesitate to book. Very convenient for the ***** and the beach too, I have stayed in other hotels in Kalamaki but this one is the best by far.

Just spent a week in this wonderful hotel, super friendly people, the staff and management, 1 for 1 are all toppers there ! The room, the bed, the food and drinks are great, clean hotel = everywhere score is 10/10 Thanks to Marelen ❤️ grtz to all !

We spent 2 weeks here for the first time last September 2023, and we had a wonderful relaxing holiday. When we arrived we were greeted by lovely Sevi and Sophia on reception and our bags were kindly taken to our room. The hotel is immaculate, everything kept so clean and the staff go the extra mile. We were allocated a lovely quiet room looking over the gardens and house keeping was excellent where Nicolleta really looked after us with a lovely smile everyday. The pool area you had no problems getting sun beds (you can hire towels for pool and get money back when you leave), and the main pool bar gave excellent service and would bring you drinks to your bed. Dionisis looked after us all day with drinks and also a really good food menu. Would highly recommend the club sandwich for a snack. Also Denia and Manos gave excellent service and conversation. We ate in the restaurant 3 times and food was really good and always plenty to choose from and you had a choice of eating inside or out by the pool. Tomas who ran the restaurant was very attentive and professional and we always got a smiling welcome from Andreas who always smelt lovely. The bar on a night also was very nice and sometimes had live music on. We didn’t do breakfast but we heard it was really good. One thing I will say is that there was an medical emergency one morning with a guest in their room, and the staff reacted immediately very professionally and knew what to do and an ambulance arrived within 10 minutes, which gives you confidence in this hotel. We enjoyed this hotel so much we have booked again for 2 weeks in September this year but upgraded and included breakfast. Would highly recommend.

On the whole, this is a wonderful 4 star hotel,we stayed on a b&b basis, and the breakfast selection is huge and wide-ranging in choice. The rooms are first class, spotlessly clean and very modern,our power shower was unbelievable. There are 3 pools,kids,family, and adults .My main concern with the hotel is with the number of kids that parents bring to the adult pool, why is this not stopped by the hotel? The adult pool should be a peaceful haven The staff at the hotel all interact in the way you would expect of a four star establishment. We will be coming to Kalamaki next year but will choose an hotel with a adults pool we can relax in

Just stayed at the Marelen for ten nights and can’t praise it enough! The beautiful grounds are kept immaculately by the staff, the rooms are comfortable and have everything you need- beds so comfy you get a really good nights sleep and no noise through the walls at all! Kettle fridge and safe in room- bring your own tea coffee etc or easy to get in shops nearby. Stayed B&B and can honestly say it’s the BEST breakfast buffet we have ever had- there is literally nothing you could want that wasn’t there! All staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. reception are so helpful too and helped us book a lovely trip on a turtle spotting boat- great afternoon out! Used the adult only pool for first half of our holiday and it was beautifully peaceful- despite the notices on the gate though some disrespectful families ignored this and took children in there which we couldn’t understand as they have their own pool and a gorgeous fun park type pool that our children would have loved when they were small- maybe a good idea for staff to keep an eye on and remind as necessary as we moved to the beach after this! Great tip - sunbeds can be booked on the grassy bit at back of beach and are very peaceful! Five minute walk to beach and ten minutes to get to main road. We looked at the other hotels around here during our stay and the Marelen is definitely the best in the area in our opinion. Thank you so much to all the hardworking staff who made our trip so amazing- if we ever return to Kalamaki we really wouldn’t hesitate to stay at the Marelen!
