Marigianna Apartments

Arrived quite late at night and the taxi driver showed us to our room. Dumped the cases and went to the bar for a night cap to be told we would have to move room in 3 days as that's not the room we have paid for, OK no probs, had no offer of help to move our cases etc. Talking to other guests it's a common occurrence, some even being put in apts down the road which were practically uninhabitable. There is no courtesy room you can pay for on your departure day so bare that in mind when looking at flight times. The apts are in a nice quiet location with a great cocktail bar at the end of the road juniper bar. The rooms are quite spacious, with kitchenette that's very basic, could do with a toaster. No hairdryer. The shower is good and hot but typically greek so floods the floor.( some rooms have a shower over a bath). The mattress was like concrete but I slept quite well on it. Fantastic pool area, very well maintained, as are the grounds, plenty of sunbeds too. Staff are welcoming and friendly, good food too. If you've opted for B&B you only get 1 choice of drink and 1 choice of food, extra had to be paid for. As a previous review has stated don't run up a bar tab, payg. Again other guests had pre warned us of this. All in all I would stay here again as the apts and surrounding area are lovely as are the staff. Sissi has great restaurants and bars and is the perfect place to hire a car and go exploring as its central to most areas.

Small peaceful quiet location set a little back from the harbour. So always sunbeds, never queues at the pool bar. Fabulous clean pool side toilets. Small apartment (not being negative just factual) I think this is typical in Greece basic too and for Self catering there was a kettle, fridge, with small freezer two hobs and couple of saucepans. Didn’t matter to us as we ate out mainly and the pool food bar is lovely with great cocktails. There’s tonnes of restaurants around even tho sissi is small, with a fabulous t shirt shop round the corner, and two supermarkets. We had one air-conditioning unit in our one bedroom apartment which worked fine however we kept the bedroom door open so that the air-conditioning would flow into the lounge area where our children slept. Everything worked well, but the shower water does go all over the bathroom floor. No big deal as dried the floor mat out on the line daily in the sunshine. Lovely cleaners. Manos and Skye always busy and friendly. Billy was too until our friends queried their tab at the bar, then he started pointing his finger at us all, started smashing stuff at the bar and got very angry & defensive. Us Brits like an itemised bill and are used to seeing one. Not just numbers written in a book. No maliciousness intended. Overall this is a lovely setting but we won’t be coming back because of Billy and how he made us feel. This is a shame as doesn’t reflect on Skye and Manos who are wonderful. 2 family’s of 4, 4 adults 4 teens. Stayed for 12 nights. Ps we arrived at midnight to our keys left in a pigeon hole, no air con, I know it’s charged daily but would’ve been a nice gesture to have on for when we arrived. We also went out to local bar for bottled water after dumping cases.
