Marelen Hotel

Have just returned from a trip to Hotel Marelen , this is not the first trip. I love Kalamaki .Unfortunately this trip I was put in a room overlooking the Kids Fun and Splash pool. I am in my 60's and felt this was inappropriate. The noise level between 11am and 5.30 pm was unbearable. You really couldn't stay in your apartment. Luckily I was able to stay out for this time period. I did ask to be moved and was offered another apartment this time above pool table area and was advised that the noise at night would be worse.I would certainly return to Kalamaki but I'm afraid the Hotel just didn't make the grade.It is a shame as the Hotel is clean and close to beach.

I have been to this hotel twice before and have just re-booked for 2012 Staff and rooms are exellent and

We love the maralen hotel we have visited this place for over 5 years and seen lots of change its fab great people family run hotel and such friendly people. My daugther calls the owner  granddad they are so close they will do anything for you. Great weather and sunshine every day hotel very clean rooms fab and plenty of space rooms cleaned daily. Pool fab and also new splash park and getting married there brilliant. Food and snack bar clean food brilliant and so cheap, main bar open from 6.30pm till late bar man nick is ace with all people and kids.

Totally amazing hotel, we stayed 10th of may 2011 for a week b&b.  the room as clean and comftable and the pools were amazing the kids splash pool n ew for 2011 was brill my two kids aged 6 and 7 loved it. The main pool was well maintanted and clean loads of sunbeds everyday.

 Just got back from a 2 week stay at the Marelen. really enjoyed it. My bed was better than my own (wish i could hve brought it back i would have thrown my memory foam bed away). everything so neat & clean,  nothig too much trouble, clean bedding & towels everyday if you wanted them. would definiteley go back there

Just back from a couple of weeks at the Marelen. Two families of three. Had a really relaxing time. Many thanks to the jolly Ree and her entertainment. Really enjoyed the Greek night!!!!!!!!!.Big thanks to Vissi. A real asset to the hotel. Keeps the garden and pool area lovely and tidy, along with all the other work he does. Always there!!!!.Great holiday, thanks to all.

- Hi I am returning to the Marelen Hotel on 2nd October but only sadly for a week but this will be my third visit to the hotel.  I agree all the staff are most helpful and very friendly. Even Nick behind the bar always remembers a friendly face (even me) and Michaela always puts on superb entertainment so am looking forward  to meeting these old friends yet again (cant wait) regards Lynne xx

Hi travelling in 3 weeks to the Maralene Hotel can anyone give me some positive info reading lots of bad reviews and would just like to be prepared before I go. Have been to Kalamaki befroe and loved it so dont want to be disappointed by the hotel. Any comments much appreciated. Cheers xxx

We went to Marelen in October 2007 for 2 weeks during half term.  The holiday was great but some bars & restaurants were closing for the end of season.  It was quiet but pool was great and the beach was lovely.  We had about 3 days a rain  which wasn't nice.  I would go back again as the hotel was lovely as were the staff and the beach near by.  But we would not go at the end of the season.

Stayed and visited this hotel on many occasions & can't fault it, the staff are great, the rooms clean & the Hotel in general is a great place to stay, i didn't take any children but the facilities are great, they have a kids club and entertainment in the evening, not far to walk to the nearest supermarket & town although if you want to visit the other resorts you would need to hire a car, the buses are very far and few between, you are gaurenteed a great stay at the Marelen, they have internet access too, HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY...

 Good clean hotel in well kept gardens.   Close to beach and shops etc.  Entertainment average,  although they did put on two good evenings,  the Greek Night,  with lovely food and also a Free Pizza night once a week,  plus entertainment.  We had a  ground floor studio apartment,  which was generally very good,  with a king sized bed and also a hair dryer.   The balcony/terrace was excellent.   The bathroom is small and has the obligatory bins for paper (common to most Greek islands) but exceptionally clean and no odours or flies.   The kitchen,  again as in most Greek hotels,  had very poor facilities making it difficult to self-cater.  This didn't concern us too much as eating out is such a pleasure.   We would recomment the Kalamaki Beach Taverna,  Milos and Ambrosia for eating out.

theres one in Laganas but there is one in the amarylis hotel just behnd your hotel which you could use!!

We will be stayimg at the Marelen Hotel from 18th July 2007. This is our first visit to Greece. Can someone tell me if there is a launderette close by. Thanks

Hi Sam, Hotel Marelen is lovely you will have a fab honey moon !!! There are lots of great places to eat very close by my boyfriend Spyros runs artemis in kalamaki and it is a really nice place for dinner the food is fab and although this may sound biased the staff are great

sam have a great honeymoon in kalamaki, you have picked a great hotel , nick at the bar and all the rest of the staff will really look after you, it really is a great place. as for food at night there aint a bad resteraunt in kalamaki. but diaz artemis hera and escape are just a few that come to mind where you get good value and a relaxing atmosphere. as i said have a great time. if you check out the main boards you will get more good tips.

We are going to be staying at the hotel Maralen at the end of June for a week for our honeymoon if anyone can recommend places to eat things to do etc be most gratefull!!
