Marina Hotel

[JennyD]

We just got back from a fabulous week at the Marina Hotel. Arilas was just as wonderful as we remembered from May. The marina is a very nice hotel and the staff were wonderful. Thanks you very much for making us so welcome

Hello Jenny,

Did you see the apartments that belong to the owners of the Marina Hotel?

My sister & brother-in-law decided to join us at the last minute when we were over a few weeks ago.  We managed to get them booked into the newly built apartments and they were fabulous, the seaview from the terrace if fabby too, just perfect for taking breakfast with a view!!  Talking of breakfast, the owners have thought of everything when fitting the apartments out, even down to a coffee maker & toaster!

Oh how I wish I was having sunday breakfast at the Marina tomorrow morning served by smiley George!

Hi Jenny.We are staying at the Marina Hotel for the first time in June.Can you tell us what the rooms are like.The rest of the hotel we know about and the staff.Really looking forward to staying right in the middle of things instead of having to walk back to the apartment.Glad you had a good time,most people do.

Hi
We had a room on the second floor which was on the road side and it has a marvellous view from the balcony along the beach. Of course the rooms at the front are the best with the large balcony and facing onto the beach. The rooms were a fair size with twin beds and plenty of storage space. There is air conditioning for which there is a charge of 30 euros a week. They also have a ophone system which means that you only have to pay 40 cents a minute to ring the UK instead of joining the long queue for the payphone. If you are ona B&B basis the continental breakfast is fruit juice fresh fruit salad toast jam etc and cornflakes or you can pay an extra 3 euros for a full english. Breakfast on the terrace was a joy every morning. The rooms are very clean. Our bathroom was very small and it was a hand held shower and the water supply was abit hit and miss. I have to say though that it was spotlessly clean and I know you just have to expect this in Greece. It would not stop us staying their again as the family was so lovely and the food in the evening was terrific.

hiya carol, i just jot back on the 8th august and this is my first post!!! i have never stayed at the marina hotel but to be honest with u i wouldnt of thought u could hear the late night music as the marina is a little down the road and they close the doors so u cant hear the music.

Hey Aly, yes u did see me and my mum but i just couldnt pluck up the courage to come over and say "hi im Marie!" yes im blonde now Dimitris kept tellin me i need a new picture on here so when i get them developed ill be sending him 1 2 put on for me. im sorry Aly im loud but still very shy!! and i didnt no if u new me off the forum! i cant remember if i have ever spoken to u!!

Eileen the post holiday blues: im fine this year infact it was quite a relief to get home, IAM NEVER GOING AWAY WITH A 2YR OLD FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE! i love Arillas and the people there but she spoilt it something proper! i miss Hana and Kostas in the coconut so much, i always do, and i always cry when i have to leave them!    and the thought that i might not be able to go bak next year upsets me even more! im tryin my damn hrdest to make my mum come bak but shes movin house and might not be able to come and although its a very friendly place i couldnt go on my own (any1 want to babysit me 4 2weeks     ) id be 2 lonely im not a person that does much alone thats why i respect those of u that can do that!
anyways enough of the babblin'

Oh dear Marie, it is very difficult with a two year old...tell me about it, I had one with me for 3 weeks.

Your young yourself and just want to get out there and enjoy yourself for your fortnight without the responsibilty of a toddler needing constantly watched and entertained.  

Maybe by the time next year comes you will be able to talk one of your friends into going with you.

If those of us you 'know' post our dates for next year then perhaps you can book to coincide with us and we can all, ha, ha, babysit you for a couple of days each!

thats just it Eileen she wouldnt let us entertain her she didnt want to no anything or any1 she would throw stuff on the floor just to make my brother pick it up and scream down the place if anybody else dared to touch it!!!
i dont think i could go away with my friends i can only stand them for so long and 2weeks none stop is way to much!!    
  thanks for the offer Eileen but, i would never impose myself on any of u thats why i didnt say Hello to Aly.  im hopin that we could spend 1week in maybe may and anoter in July at Dimitris' place then all we have to worry about is bookin a flight really. then i still get my two weeks there just split up!!  im a clever girl ive already thought about it all!!

anyways i gota go and wash me hair ready 4 work

Hi Marie, sorry we missed each other that evening in Brouklis, but maybe next time/next year???   Its dreadful being back isn't it, I'm currently on the hunt for a disgustingly cheaper than cheap flight end of Sep!  Anyone going to be there?  Sorry Dimitris, I may be on my way again     .  Arillas is sooooooooooo addictive.
