We returned from Hotel Marelen yesterday and were generally happy with everything. Kalamaki is a much nicer resort than Laganas which is like Blackpool on a bad day. Worth renting a car/quad or moped to get out and see the island which has much to offer. Avoid the Airtours tours at all costs as they are a rip off and you can do exactly the same tours much cheaper from local tour operators.
Kalamaki beach is lovely - lots of beds available and gorgeous blue sea - no sign of the elusive turtles though!

Great holiday, being in the flightpath (as mentioned in someone elses report) not really a problem and certainly doesn't interupt your holiday. Yes, Nick & Costas the barmen are brilliant! funny, friendly & entertaining, however other staff could maybe do with taking a leaf out of their book. Hotel & grounds itself..... Lovely, no rush for sunbeds or lengthy waits at bar/food counter etc. few minutes walk to shops/tavernas, which are also nice, kids club has limited places (only 15 places) UNACCEPTABLE! however this is down to airtours not the hotel itself. Lots to see and do on the island which is easy to get around. Have re-booked for this year, just hope airtours will employ more than one member of staff to run kids club so that there is no need for parents turning up and queueing half an hour early to ensure their child is included in the days session. GET A GRIP AIRTOURS! don't put a downer on what is a potentially fantastic holiday.

We found this to be a very good hotel as most in greece are very basic. It was kept very clean. The continental breakfast was more than adequate, you could help yourself to as much as you liked. We are pensioners and it was lovely being so close to the beach and Taverna's. Yes planes did come in very low, but we did not find this a problem at the end of September/ beginning of October, in facy we were quite fascinated . They stopped in the evening so they did not disturb your sleep. A nice long beach with gently shelving sea nice for walking along to Langanas. All in all we enjoyed our holiday, and would think about staying there again.

This is a well-appointed hotel with only one drawback .. but it is HUGe. The airport runway is only 1000M away and the planes fly DIRECTLY over the hotel at a height of approx 200M"!!! You will get NO PEACE WHATSOEVER

I had a fantastic holiday...The staff were excellent, especially the BArmen Nick and Costas..Never make a bet with Nick he ALWAYS WINS!...The hotel was very clean, and the rooms were very nice, alot better that I expected. There was a snack bar which served excellent food, and the hotel in itself is walking distance from all Tavernas, and most importantly, 5 mins up the road is Laganas! Watch out for the barmens dances on the bar......I miss them already, we love you both...C U NEXT YEAR!!!!

The Hotel Marelen is an excelant hotel. The rooms are all kept very clean. The pool and snack bar are truely superb plenty of room around the pool. The Bar area and eating areas are all very spaceious , however evening entertainment is a bit limited. All the staff are exstreamly friendly. I have 3 children and they where more than happy to stay around the pool all day making friends. It really is a good family atmosphere and i would recomend it to anybody, and would certainly revisit the hotel again.
