Great place
Marmin bay was great!! I do not understand why all these bad reviews. I guess these people are spoiled. I can see why is would be bad for an older couple as it is a difficult hike up the hill. And yes there are bees everywhere but if you can just ignore them which is not hard because of the great view then everything is fine. Food was great. Real Greek food. I would recommend this to anyone (who can walk up a hill). If looking for 5 star hotel, this is not it. But if looking for a great quality hotel for good price this is the place to go...

What a nightmare
This was the worst holiday we have ever endured. The Marmin bay hotel was awful, terrible, in fact, I would not go there again for any thing. The food was worse than hospital food, choice was non existent and flies were served with every thing whether you ordered them or not. A member of staff sweetly informed us when we showed horror that they are only flies and do not attack you !!!The fly invasion was down to the fact that the food was uncovered and out in the open, with little refrigeration, if any. The room was pleasant, if you enjoy a challenge as you needed to practically hike up the mountain to get to our room, this was not what we asked for. We were led to believe that we were staying actually in a hotel. We thought we were going to be reported missing in action!! The heat was 46%. The hotel offers very little shade, in fact about 6 parasols that could actually be of any use situated half way up the mountain by the pool. You need to stop here when trying to reach your room des...Read more

4 star - You are joking
I was shocked to find that the hotel was situated on a steep hill as this was not noted in the information I received. The food was covered in wasps and flies. The rooms were clean and the housekeepers were helpful. The waiting staff were helpful. All inclusive did not include drinks right through the day unless you were happy to walk 5 levels up a steep mountain. The local shops are 45 minutes away. This hotel should be down graded to a two star. There was no entertainment on site and there is nothing to do for the children.

For Mountain Climbers
The hotel is situated on a very steep mountain so is not suitable for anyone with back problems or breathing problems. Rooms were nice but did the food was covered with wasps and flies. All inclusive did not included cold drinks throughout the day unless you wanted to climb steep paths to get to the bar on the fourth level. The location of the hotel is a 45 minute walk from the local shops and the bus service runs hourly.

DONT STAY AT THIS HOTEL
This was the worst experience of Greek hospitality i have EVER encountered, The food is by no stretch of the imagination 4* Fish fingers and tinned hotdogs cold pasta and an apple or orange for dessert are not 4 star service neither is tinned fruit and preserves swarming with flies and wasps at breakfast The waiting staff were lovely and served you with a smile but he the management i found were unhelpfull and arrogant (apart fro NIco who at least tried to help) the barmaid at the second level pool was surly and in grave need of people skills training. This hotel is in way interested in giving their guests an enjoyable holiday but are only interested in cutting corners. The roomare nice and the views spectaculer the maid we had was gem. But i would sincerely hope that anyone considering this hotel would rethink their choice as this is by far no way 4* and you will not recieve 4* treatment, The floating pool they boast of having is NOT actually part of the hotel they will charge you 4e...Read more
