This is a beautiful property with lots of space and plenty to do, within the resort for childern and adult. Although the hotel is in middle of nowhere there are many transport/transfer from the hotel at extra fee. Plenty of food but not enough option for to meet different dietary requirements, few issues with ants bit ones reported to reception desk it was sorted. Staff are amazing and very accommodating.

First I wouldn't use Expedia again. Paid £20 extra per night compared to booking direct with the hotel. The hotel is clean and has good amenities. Food is good. Staff are friendly. There isn't much in the local area. Two small beaches in very close proximity to the hotel. It can get a busy noisy at night due to the entertainment but otherwise ok.

Avoid. Awful. Cheesy. Painfully remote location. Bad music and freakin’ loud. Wi-fi service spotty at best. No porter service and lots of steps. In fairness, food wasn’t bad, but lacking healthier options (no restaurants or nightlife nearby). Definitely NOT a four-star hotel as it claims to be (wonder who they paid to get listed as four stars). Their description says it’s “elegant” - - there’s nothing elegant about this place. Hasn't been updated in a while. Decor a lá Fred Flintstone (Yabadabadoo baby!). Ants, mold, and leaky bathroom flooded our room. Weak water pressure. Kettle in our room was dirty. They put us in a different room, but same basic problems. We had had enough and wanted to leave. They refused to cancel the remaining four nights and still charged us. We checked out anyway, however extricating ourselves from this joint was an ordeal. Taxis unavailable and Uber not allowed there. Two hours sitting out front with Hotel California lyrics in my head…You can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave... We had to call a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend to rescue us and deliver us to back to civilization in Corfu Town.

This review was made in hopes it warns others to book somewhere else and not waste their money or the hassle we went through. When we arrived we did not have the best vibes of the place. We were told that during our entire stay we get a total of 2 a La cart nights to book. They had weird hours to book these as a customer service person had to do this. We tried to book the one called olive and were advised it was fully booked during our entire stay and we could not. The other Italian one would be on our last night. It’s a bit ridiculous that you aren’t guaranteed to be able to have these dining experiences despite it being included. Also most more desirable things were not part of “the all inclusive”. Example if you wanted anything above a coffee was “extra”/ slushies extra. Those were the minor issues with the 1 star resort. The huge concern is the room condition. We got the “nicer room” and it was sea view. From the moment we walked in we noticed it was dirty. Red smudge stain on the couch. Black mould on sink and shower. One bed didn’t have a fitted sheet but both were covered with long, black human hair (as if not cleaned from the last guest), dirty counter (could smear brown with wiping hands on it when checking), dirty floor, walls, etc. the list goes on. Dirty stained towels, pillow cases. I went to ask to switch rooms and they apologized and agreed. The next room was just as bad! We left. They were difficult with getting a refund despite promising us. It took over 1MO

Wonderful stay...
After booking this stay (for the pictures and price), my wife started looking at reviews. A lot of the reviews were horrible and we were thinking about canceling. We stuck with but were prepared for the worse... But everything negative we read in the reviews was just NOT TRUE! The staff is so helpful, friendly and fabulous with kids! The food offered was really diverse and tasted great. It was an all inclusive buffet. Plenty variety daily and in our 10 day stay there were at least 6 options daily that didn't repeat. Of course the basics like fries, pasta and salads are available daily! The deserts are great and the Tzatziki is the BEST! We also had a chance to eat at the 2 a la carte restaurants for free 1 night each. The Menu's we chose here were superb and a few steps up from the buffet The Pool area was great and the sports and animation team are constantly offering something to get active in. There is a wonderful beach near by with great sand and the water is only knee high for about 50 meters which is perfect for smaller children to play and the Water is CLEAR! There are also a few restaurants close by if you do want to eat out. The only trouble are the Taxis and Busses to get away fron the Hotel. But that can be solved by getting an inexpensive rental car from Enterprise right there in the main building of the Hotel. I could say much more but I am running out of characters. Mainly thank you to the staff of the Mareblue for a great vacation and relaxing atmosphere!

Pleasant stay
We had a lovely time at the Mareblue. Location: the hotel itself is quite remote but the views across to Albania are stunning. There are two local bars and a Taverna but beyond that you have the hotel. Kassiopi is a beautiful village that is 4miles away - a cab is circa £13 each way. Rooms: the rooms are dated but functional. Ours was a family room with two bunk beds in. It was a little tight for our needs but we didn’t spend a huge amount of time in it. Food: the food was very good at each meal, there was always plenty of variety and the food was always hot as turned over regularly. The restaurant had particular pinch points when it was busy but you were still able to get a table at peak times. From a drinks point of view you only get certain things on all inclusive - the local beer is awful, lacks any kind of taste and is basically fizzy water. Recommend checking out the local bars for better local alternatives. You can also pay for other drinks at the hotel. Staff: Everyone working at the hotel works really hard and are really friendly. Entertainment: The entertainment is uneven - we had some really brilliant stuff - the Greek night for example was awesome, but some of it was woeful. The animation team aren’t always very visible. We were there for 12 days - and given the location that was too long and we should have stayed somewhere a bit less remote but the hotel and its facilities were great.

Excelent place, always clean and tidy. Staff always smiling and polite, from housekeeper, restaurant staff, reception, etc.. Food was top, always fresh nice. Hugely impressed, given the number of people there. Very organized during breakfast and lunches, again, impressed. At evening there is always something to entertain your children and family. My daughter kept saying she wants "Kaspar magic" show again and again. haha Made some friends while staying there. I will come back again. keep it up, my family loved it.

Would avoid
Very poor service from staff, started with the receptionist who was very rude and dismissive. Other staff such as waiting staff and chefs were rude, both overtly (shouting) and covertly (microagressions, grunting). Some staff were very pleasant, I wish more were like them. Guests were ogling and staring, very uncomfortable for my wife and me, definite undertones of racism. We left a day early because of these experiences and when putting in a complaint the admin staff did not believe us and dismissed the behaviours. We also had ants in the room and one night a lot of flies had invaded our bathroom. Support staff who helped with this issue was very kind.

A mixed stay
A very mixed stay at the Mareblue. The site and location are lovely for a relaxing, quiet break. Within the hotel, the daily meals are absolutely fine and there is a wide enough variety to cater to adults, but there should be more options for younger children as this was very limited (we have no children, but could see parents struggling with the options available). The drinks menu is superb and varied, there is no limit to orders, but the constant overuse of plastic cups is really poor when we should be limiting single use plastic the hotel seems to embrace it! Evening entertainment was different every day and the quizzes were fun to join in with. As the world moves to working from different locations, we booked this break as the hotel offered wifi in all rooms, this turned out to be completely untrue. There was no wifi in our room, we were told a multitude of different stories as to why, which wasn't particularly helpful and the every changing reasons (lies) really did lower our ratings of the stay. We were offered the chance to use other parts of the hotel at times to do work, but this is not ideal and the wifi in these areas was between 2-5mbs at times so no video conferencing capabilities, so be careful if you need to do some work from your vacation or if the weather is bad and you want to stream online content like Netflix etc.

Disappointing and won't be going again. The rooms were not cleaned but only tided once every two days. Only the towels were changed - the bed sheets were not. The duvet had no cover and was stained in various places. My husband and I got the ick sleeping in the bed. The food was repetitive and hardly any traditional greek dishes - which is a shame. The pools were cold (not heated). The staff were all short tempered and simply wanted to get rid of you. It rained on our fourth day and there was no electricity in the rooms for 10 hours except the main building and lights on the footpaths. Everyone panicked and were charging their phones at reception. You have to pay for the wifi which constantly disconnects so not even worth it - terrible! They don't have a designated beach so you have to pay extra for sun loungers and an umbrella. For the price paid, it isn't worth the stay. It is also quite far from the town centre and they only have buses twice a week (which takes 2 hours!). Finally, a ridiculous amount of mosquitos. The hotel does nothing to help - we couldn't sleep for 3 nights and our bodies are bitten everywhere. If you wish to stay here 4 days is enough as the above makes is boring, dirty and simply unsatisfactory. Not the experience you would want in Corfu.

Enjoyed our stay. Hotel has sensible measures in place for COVID-19, masks inside and temperature checks. Staff are working hard and place is clean. Mosquitos have been a major problem during our stay and the hotel would benefit from trying to put more measures in place to help combat this, as this can make for an uncomfortable evening. Especially around pool bar/entertainment area in evening. Take repellent with you/citronella. Area is lovely, quiet with a cocktail bar at the beach 2 minute walk away and a taverna a similar distance, mini market at hotel, car hire, and a place to book trips. Both beaches lovely and recommend the boat hire with North Corfu boat hire, who are right on the beach, you can take the boat out yourself and they give tuition and great way to explore some of the other little beaches close by and visit a taverna. We enjoyed the food, rooms adequate and shower room was great. It would be good to see less plastic used as every drink is disposable plastic cup and maybe more heavy duty reusable would be better. We enjoyed our stay and I would return, pools lovely and did not feel overcrowded. Entertainment typical hotel style, the two Male entertainment team did a good job though and were friendly. Food had plenty of choice and was pretty good. Taxi service for local villages 12 euros to Kassiopi and there is also Acharavi which I think is similar cost. The hotel run shuttle to both these villages for 5euro and 15 to Corfu Town.
