MarBella Nido Suite Hotel & Villas

The hotel room was stunning - we had the jacuzzi room with endless views of the Ionian Sea and Greek mainland. The hotel is very hilly but plenty of golf carts to carry you around if you don’t feel like walking. Pool area was lovely, the food was some of the best we’ve experienced for a buffet-style breakfast and evening menu and the staff were all friendly and engaging. This hotel also has exceptional cocktails - in particular their negroni and apple sour martini! ?? Would definitely go again.

What a lovely adults only hotel. We have had the most wonderful peaceful holiday. We would definately recommend the hotel and would love to return. We can't fault the hotel and the service, all the staff are cheerful and efficient, nothing is too much trouble. We have enjoyed a wonderful 10 day break on half board. Would recommend the whirlpool rooms, as the sun goes off the beach and pool at c. 5pm at this time of year so we retreated to our room and enjoyed the wonderful views from our balcony whirlpool. The rooms are all sea facing and are tidied twice a day with bottles of water provided. There is a kettle and a coffee machine with pods. Cream portions provided, but room service will also bring milk. The shower is good and the beds super king sized. Food is lovely, both buffet breakfast and dinner and of good quality including vegetarian and vegan choices. Plenty of choice. The only minor drawback is that drinks are a bit pricy at €11 for cocktails and €8 for a glass of wine and we would have ordered more had they been a bit cheaper. But there are 3 tavernas to the left of the hotel as you face the sea. €3.50 for a large glass of wine in the far left taverna. Also a shop selling lager and bottles of wine. There is a small gym with views. I had a lovely 1 hour massage on my second day to help me relax at €63 with the 10 % discount which was a lovely treat. Room service is excellent, whatever you order arrives in minutes in the golf buggys. Although the hotel is on a hillside, just set off walking and a buggy will normally wizz by and pick you up by the always cheery staff, or you can call for one from your room phone. The infinity pool area is lovely, with plenty of sunbeds. The pool isnt heated which means it is a little chilly, but it is quiet and great for swimming lengths with most fabulous view of mainland Greece. There is a pool bar with lovely staff. The beach is just across the road, but not a problem. Sun loungers, umbrella and towels are provided and the sea is warm and calm this time of year and crystal clear. Drinks can be ordered from the hotel via a button or walk a few paces to the taverna next door. The beach is pebbly so swim shoes make it easier to get in and out of the sea. The hotel is lovely to relax in, but if you feel the need to get out and about, a coach/bus service from in front of the hotel takes you north to Corfu town in half an hour (allow 20 -30 mins to walk to the green bus station from Corfu town to return). A 5 min bus ride south goes to a small uninspiring town, but there is a pharmacy and some shops, you can also walk here in 30 mins along the road. Go further and you reach Cavos, which is just tourist souvenier shops, sports bars and burgers, so not worth the trip. The hotel reception will organise a hire car for you from Enterprise. We found the roads poor with numerous potholes, so didnt enjoy driving around Corfu. If you like walking there is a road uphill next to the Marbella Corfu sister hotel next door which takes you up into the mountains. Follow Google maps on your phone to walk the Corfu mountain trails. There is a lovely quaint village half an hour walk uphill with a taverna and small shop and one of the oldest olive trees in Greece at about 900 or 1100 years old. Beautiful views. We had a couple of days of rain this time of year, but it only rained for half the day, so we were able to get out for a walk. If you visit Corfu town the marble pavements of the old town can be slippery and beware the steps of McDonalds are like glass as I slipped over. Thank you to all the lovely staff for a wonderful holiday including Achilles, Athena, Catrina, Georgious, Theodore and lovely reception, bar, pool, buggy and room service staff, you are all a credit to the hotel.

My wife and I recently stayed here for two weeks and had a lovely time. The hotel and accommodation were very good and the food was very nice (especially the food in the a la carte restaurant which was exceptional). The manager and her deputy (Amaryllis and Achilleo) seemed to be permanently on duty and over seeing everything that happened on the premises, their passion and dedication for all guests to experience a truly memorable stay is so contagious it permeates throughout all staff in the hotel. Lots of hotels say their staff will meet all their guests needs, but this hotel is the only one we have stayed at that truly delivers on that promise. A special mention must also go to Panagiotis who looks after all the guests needs and wants around the pool area, he is so friendly and helpful and is always looking for ways to make your stay even more enjoyable. In all honesty, the only negative observation I could make is that in the evenings after dinner there is nowhere to go to enjoy an after dinner drink and the warm summer air outside, so most evenings we had to either go to the 'sister hotel' next door (which was very nice) or go to the Taverna on the beach just opposite the hotel. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending this hotel to anyone that wants a break with that something special, and where you really will be spoilt. Congratulations to Amaryllis, Achilleo and the whole team at Marbella Nido.
