AVALI, Mar-Bella Collection

Great place, lots of activities, every member of staff work hard to make your holiday great. Staff were great with children and kept them engaged. Cleanest beach. You don’t need to fly to the Caribbean for it

First time at Marbella and it was wonderful. Single parent with two kids and a stress free holiday! Made even more special with the photographers Anaida and Silviu from Photo Hotel. Amazing photo shoot that’s created special lifelong memories! The bar and grill restaurant was amazing and all the staff there were brilliant. The animation team entertained the kids in particular a shout out to Bara!!

Another great stay at the Marbella. Beautiful hotel, great food and drink and the animation team especially Josu and Bara are fantastic and make every day fun and exciting! The aqua dance every afternoon was a big highlight for the whole family, we will be singing and dancing to the songs for the rest of the year!

We had a great time, Josu and the animation team made the days and evenings so enjoyable for my kids, especially the mini disco.

We stayed at Marbella in June and whilst the hotel itself is very nice we unfortunately didn’t have the best experience. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and the food is great. The kids pool is very good as it’s shallow enough for little ones to paddle/play and the water park area is good fun. The bad experience for us was that the room we were allocated with was awful. The room was dark and cramped and the “garden view” was overlooking a small courtyard and into several other rooms balconies. There was only one children’s bed set up despite it being a booking for a family of four. This we could have put up with but as we were on the 4th floor, the noise was unacceptable. These rooms are below the main bar and in the evening we were disturbed by the constant noise of chairs scraping across the floor. This went on until 1am and started up again at 8am. The reception staff were unhelpful and didn’t help us with a new room until my husband got British airways involved. We were then given a suitable room (which was lovely and much more what we thought we had booked) - but had to spend 3 nights with no sleep in the room on the 4th floor. The hotel is aware of these noise complaints and still allocate these rooms. They would be much better suited to being repurposed (for example only being used as courtesy rooms when checking out). If we had a suitable room from the start of the holiday this review would be very different. Or even if the reception staff had responded fairly (and not laughed in my husbands face!) when we made our complaint. I would like to say that we had excellent service from Danica who worked at the kids pool - she was always friendly and couldn’t do more for you. Also, huge shout out to Sam from the kids club who made our sons feel comfortable and kept them entertained with lots of fun activities (it was also great that they could be out of the sun during the hottest part of the day). My top tip for anyone looking to book is to make sure you upgrade your room from the start to avoid any issues.

Beautiful place, good services, but entry into the water at the beach is not suitable for babies/children at all.Was great to have a private pool. Staff was friendly. I enjoyed relaxing massagefr Charoula

We returned from Marbella over 2 weeks ago and are still dreaming about it. So much so, we have already booked for next year. We are a family of 4 with two boys aged 11 and 14 and although the resort probably caters better for younger families, we loved our stay. The lads loved the waterpark, we loved the beach, there really is something for everyone. I found the buffets a little busy but the à la carte restaurants great. We also took full advantage of the sister hotel Avali, especially the wonderful Stia reataurant there. The staff are so nice, allowing us a later checkout which really made the most of our last day too. Can’t wait to come again next year.

The staff created a happy and relaxed atmosphere, very welcoming. We would like to mention 3 employees that made our stay so enjoyable Marina , Polina from the cocktail bar and Konstantinos Goulami. The staff and service in the Deck was also excellent. We gave feedback during our stay which was both welcomed and acted upon. Great experience, thank you

Just back from a delightful stay at the Marbella, Corfu. We booked an inclusive plus package with Jet 2 and had a wonderful time. It was our second stay, and going inclusive plus did not disappoint, and neither did the hotel , the friendly and efficient staff, or the mini resort which the Marbella is. Excellent and varied high quality facilities in beautiful landscaped grounds. We would definitely recommend a stay here and inclusive plus represents superb value for money as does a stay in this classy hotel.

The hotel is beautiful lovely spot. Food excellent good variety. Fabulous staff. The Aqua fit every morning is good fun. Great team.

We’re just back from a week at the resort and had an absolutely incredible time with our 1 year old and 4 year old. The facilities are great and it’s so good having the water park on the site. The entertainment team bring so much to the resort and the kids loved them- big shout out to Josu for all the energy he brings to all the activities as well as Lucy and the rest of the team. The childcare was also fantastic with both girls settling into the creche and kids club with Hannah, Sam and the team…. It was a battle to get them to leave at the end of the day! Will definitely be back

Hotel was amazing! A group of 19 of us came for 40th birthday celebrations. Mixture of adults and children of all ages and they cater for everything. Food was great, rooms were lovely and the hotel was very well kept. The bar staff at Belvedere was amazing especially aikaterini and Theanw. The children’s entertainment was excellent and we couldnt thank josu enough for the daily entertainment with his team! Thanks so much we’ve have the best 10 days!

We are absolutely delighted with our stay at Hotel Marbella on the beautiful island of Corfu! From the moment we arrived, everything has exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier here. The hotel itself is lovely — well-maintained, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our room is comfortable, clean, and has everything we need for a perfect holiday. The food is excellent, with a wonderful variety of dishes on offer. The fresh fish selection in particular stands out — a real highlight for seafood lovers! But what truly sets Hotel Marbella apart is its incredible staff. Every single person we’ve encountered has been friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. A very special mention must go to Christina from Guest Relations, who has gone above and beyond to make sure our stay is perfect — she is a real asset to this hotel. The animation team deserves a huge shoutout as well! Bara and Josu are absolutely fantastic — full of energy, fun, and enthusiasm. They create such a great atmosphere and make sure guests of all ages are entertained and smiling. We looked forward to their activities every single day! If you are thinking about visiting Corfu, don’t hesitate — Hotel Marbella is the place to be. We will definitely be back!

The animation team have been fantastic, they provide fun for all the family. Great hotel with great entertainment.

Third time to Marbella and best yet. Animation Team definitely a massive improvement. Highlight of the holiday for my son, was the pool dancing with Josu, fantastic. See you next year.

Superb group, my children have been enthralled and entertained every night, from face painting to mini discos, these guys have the lot. We have dance routines to go home with and pottery pieces which won’t take pride of place on the mantlepiece! We will be back

We absolutely loved every moment of our stay! From the very first day, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. What truly made this experience unforgettable was the incredible animation team. Their enthusiasm, professionalism, and ability to bring people together created a fun and vibrant environment for guests of all ages. A very special thank you goes to Vinci, the Animation Manager, who does an outstanding job leading the team. His passion, dedication, and genuine care for the guests can be seen in every activity and every show. Vinci has a remarkable talent for creating memorable experiences and making everyone feel included and appreciated. The hotel itself was excellent, offering beautiful facilities, comfortable rooms, and a relaxing atmosphere throughout our stay. Everything was well maintained, and the service was outstanding. The staff were always friendly, attentive, and willing to help, making us feel welcome from beginning to end. Thank you to Vinci and the whole team for making our vacation so enjoyable. We left with wonderful memories and cannot wait to come back. Highly recommended!

Great experience with the animation team, especially Iris

Very impressed with MarBella. Lovely hotel in beautiful surroundings. Difficult to fault anything, would highly recommend, especially for families.

We have had a great 10 day holiday. The animation team was fantastic. They put in so much effort and really made the pool days enjoyable for the kids. Great hotel for young families.
