The laughs will begin at the airport and those 2 weeks at The Mariana are going to be quality. More people up for a good time the better. It's gonna be a classic

Ian Johnson it's an 18-30s hotel not the fúcking Ritz you piece.  Your website is laughable. I'm not surprised you had a shít holiday if you spent some of your time taking pictures of wardrobes and patio doors. I can't believe that an ordinary piece of plastic patio furniture could offend you to the point you have to label it as nasty, what exactly did it do to you ? To take a picture of the "vacant" swimming pool when the time must have been about 8am is just lame. I'm guessing this was the time due to the "vacant" sunloungers. Perhaps people were recovering from a night on this PARTY island.

However, for anybody planning to go to Zante for the time of your lives and not packing your hot water bottle, pipe and slippers, this hotel is definately for you. It's in a great location, about 10 minutes from the liveliest part of the strip which is great as it's quiet when you want to get some kip and it's really nice round the pool as it's set away from the main road.
 
I read a lot about Pete & John, the 2 owners, before we went away and the comments were very varied. We didn't have any problems with them for the 2 weeks we were there. They were on hand to serve you food when you wanted it, look after your key if you wanted to hand it in, cash travellers cheques if you needed to and if you wanted to watch something on TV they'd sort you out if it was available. Plus the place has a 24 hour bar and there aren't many places which you can say that about. Anybody thats had trouble off them before, it must have been for a good reason. I think some people are to thick to realise that the hotel is these 2 guys livelihood. The pool was cleaned every night as well so the only time it might have looked "skanky" was after it had been in use, yes that's right Ian the pool was always rammed during opening hours !!! Shock Horror !!!
 
What's been said about the Mariana over the last couple of pages annoyed me to the point I felt I had to write this, but not to the point where I feel I need to make a website as I do have better things to do with my time. As one eighth of the Bournemouth Lads (Zante Veterans) and as a realist, I think you'll find these comments closer to the truth. Enjoy Your stay at The Mariana. Treat it as your temple as Zante is a paradise.
 
Peace Out, Love Goater xx
