Mariana Hotel

Great stay What can i say....this hotel saved our holiday in zante after a horrendous first day in the "5star" hotel Cavo Orient Hotel!! The Mariana hotel made our stay fun and relaxing. Hotel staff were great and very helpful during our stay. Would definitely come back. Thanks to Pete and Naomi for your hospitality.

Evening Receptionist is the most annoying condescending woman ever, talks to you like a child and is not understanding at all. She talks for ages but manages to say barely anything important. Room was okay but shower was rubbish. Not enough lighting in the room either.

The room was average as you would expect from a hotel of this price range however the problems began upon arrival when me and my travel companion were spoken to like animals which made both of us feel very uncomfortable having just arrived. After this horrifying long ordeal we were then demanded to hand over 50€ each unlike other tourists that stayed we were returned this at the end of are stay After being told that we would have to pay for air conditioning we decided to see how we would fair without it “we were wrong” after paying the 60€ we we’re presented with remote to use the air conditioning, we followed all the relevant processes and allowed it to run for at least 2 hours however the whole stay we didn’t receive a wiff of cold air we did complain and received a telling off “ ALL OF THE AIRCON WORKS” this was the last time we complained Somehow the clubs with 100s possible 1000s of people in them were cooler In the end we slept with the balcony doors open and woke up at sun rise to close them so I legs didn’t get sunburned at points even slept on the room floor or balcony to cool down Safe to say if I ever do return to the island I would not go near this place However location is ok and in colder weather would be fine (:

Me and 5 other girls stayed here for our girls holiday this summer, we weren’t expecting the best as we had seen the reviews , and we did all have to pay a £50 deposit as reviews say but we did get 200 euros out of the 300 euro deposit we payed back. They do specify when you get there reasons as to why you may not get a deposit back (in our case we brought friends back the hotel on two occasions which meant two deposits got taken) and i personally think the reasons are valid. Some of the rules are stricter compared to other hotels, so i understand why things like jumping in the pool after hours ect… can be annoying reasons to lose £50 however especially on girls/lads holidays, these kind of things can be expected as it’s easy money for businesses. We had friends in other hotels close by and they all had the same rules. In terms of the room, i think they’re in the process of being modernised as our room was quite older fashioned however the rooms on the block next to us looked alot more modern?! The rooms are not the cleanest but definitely not as bad as some reviews are claiming (in our experience anyway). The cleaners do come often and bedsheets and towels were changed regularly. The pool and sunbeds was a nice area, it was clean and a nice area to chill. No complaints really about our rooms or the pool area other than we weren’t allowed to take our water from the room to the pool cause it was bought elsewhere. Air con was an additional cost too, 10 euros a day per room, but again i’ve experienced this in many other hotels i’ve stayed in before , and when your paying a cheap price to stay here, things like that i personally do expect to pay for. As a whole, i would recommend for a girls/lads holiday , maybe not a family holiday as it is located pretty much at the top of the ***** (another bonus for us) and there are also some nice food locations near by. The receptionist we found was lovely , we genuinely had a good experience here.
