Acquaintance with the Marbella Beach Hotel 5 * took place during an advertising and information tour of Greece.
1. The hotel is located in the village. Agios Ioannis Peristeron, 17 km from Corfu. The bus stop is 200 meters in front of the hotel
2. The hotel consists of 6 buildings (the main one, 4 Clusters buildings, which are located next to the pool and the Nafsika building, which is located next to the sea). The hotel has 404 rooms with sea or mountain views: promo room and standard rooms, superior rooms, family rooms, suites. Possible placement: 2.2+1.2+2.3, 4.4+1. All rooms have been renovated. In the rooms: air conditioning, satellite TV (Russian channels, without Ukrainian), refrigerator, mini-bar (in suites, extra charge), direct dial telephone, Wi-Fi internet (free of charge), safe (free of charge), coffee / tea set , bath/shower, hairdryer, balcony/terrace.

IMPORTANT: In this hotel, the bathroom is rather peculiar: the door in the toilet is made of thick opaque glass, does not reach the floor and ceiling and does not close. In a bathroom made of the same glass, a partition is attached to the bathroom and closes it by 1/3, there are no doors to the bath.
3. Meal plan: half board, full board, full board plus, ultra all inclusive. Central restaurant, 3 a la carte restaurants, 4 bars (central bar, pool bar, beach bar, lounge bar). We stayed at this hotel on half board. Such a program provides breakfast in the main restaurant as a buffet from 7.00 to 10.00, late continental breakfast from 10.00 to 10.30. Dinner in the main restaurant from 18.30 to 21.15 (all drinks, including water, are PAID). Dinner once per stay in either Greek or Italian a la carte restaurants. By prior reservation 1 day in advance - dinner in a seafood restaurant (10 € / person discount from the cost of meals, i. e. drinks at full price).
To order lunch boxes and an early breakfast (when leaving for excursions, for example), you need to notify the reception before 18.00 the night before.
The hotel has very good cuisine, a large selection of dishes, a lot of fruits, all kinds of desserts, I really liked the service in the restaurant.
4. Beach: sand and pebble. You can go to it through the tunnel, or cross the road (not very busy, but still). Umbrellas + sun loungers + towels - free of charge (beach towels in the room). The hotel has 3 outdoor swimming pools (1 - with fresh water, 2 - with sea water).
5. Spa: programs for face and body care (face - 30 minutes = 50 €, body massage - 30 minutes = 50 €), epilation (bikini area - 25 €), manicure (20 €), pedicure (30 €) , hairdresser (50 €), sauna, hammam, gym.
6. For children: mini club (4-12 years old), 2 children's pools with fresh water, playground, mini disco, children's menu and high chairs in the restaurant, babysitting - on request (extra charge).
7. Internet corner and Wi-Fi in public areas (free of charge).
eight.
For outdoor enthusiasts: volleyball, basketball, water sports. Tennis court (extra charge).
9. Entertainment: theme nights, cabaret, theatrical performances, beach parties, live music.
10. Russian-speaking staff at the reception and in the restaurant.

11. There is no ATM in the hotel, but bank cards are accepted everywhere.
12. When going to this hotel, you need to understand that the territory of the hotel is large, there are many stairs and all sorts of intricate passages. It will not be comfortable here for people who, for various reasons, will not be able to walk a lot and go up / down the stairs (sloping, but still).

Personal impression: I don't like big and pompous hotels. But “Marbella Beach Hotel” I (and perhaps all the “infotourists”) really liked. Just very. Beautiful, elegant, stylish interiors, very nice staff, wonderful cuisine.

Summary: solid 5+ out of five possible points.
An excellent choice for a luxurious holiday with children, and a secluded vacation with your loved one.
