For the cost it’s not worth it.
While the hotel looks okay there are many faults we found during our stay. We actually reported these to the hotel and was told - thank for these - no apology- no offered to correct in a way. I normally don’t put up reviews but for the price we paid for one night I was so disappointed. The welcome at reception felt very cold- no music in the lobby receptionist made it feel like we had kept here there to check in (we checked in around 5pm). 2. Room is lacking any 4 star touches - you provide a kettle and cups but no coffee station. According to 4star standards this is a basic inclusion. 3. Shower had only luke warm water - 4. The back of our bedroom door is so warped it looks terrible. 5. The toilet seat is loose and when you sit on it your slide to the side so you have to hold on almost. 6. The beach lounges there is no care loungers scattered everywhere so many broken ones etc. 7. The general feel of the hotel is there is little care - in the railings all the ropes are loose or missing. 8. Door to the patio needs oil or something it scrapes so loudly when you open it. 9. Hairdryer is old, it has almost no power so it takes forever to dry your hair.

Beautiful property on the sea near Ancient Olympia. Rooms are very large, restaurant and pool bar have excellent service and food. There are mature, stunning flowers all around the property. Really lovely, peaceful environment.

We enjoyed our 3 day stay at Marr Dei Suites. Initially we booked for 2 days but decided to stay an extra day. The hotel was extremely clean and the staff very attentive. From the time we checked in with Tsia. The interactions with the staff at breakfast , to the staff at the pool our stay was perfect. We looked for something quiet and with a private beach so we could relax as a family and spend more quality time together - for us this was perfect We enjoyed snacks and meals at the pool bar /restaurant and enjoyed driving through the olive fields to Amalias for some other dinner options Other larger towns are near as well Special thanks to : Panagotis and his coworker The very polite lady working at the pool bar. I’d recommend highly

Great views and beach! bad food and sketchy drive
The plus side: 1) The rooms are spacious, modern and clean. The beds are comfortable and the a/c is excellent (much better than the standard Greek hotel). 2) The hotel is in a beautiful location. 3) The beach is phenomenal. 4) the breakfast was amazing--huge variety of delicious food and decent coffee. The downside: 1) overpriced. 2) the road up the hotel is not well-marked, and driving with your own car is not advisable. The final stretch of the first access road is a steep dirt road covered in large stones. The second access road is perched on a cliff. If we had arrived after dark, I'm not sure we would have found the place. 3) we did not have a good experience with the staff. It felt like every interaction was a conflict-waiting-to-happen. It was not an good situation for a multi-generational family or families with young children. The stairs were difficult for my mother-in-law and my youngest child. The staff seemed very unsettled by the presence of children--they had odd rules about the pool (kids are allowed in the deep pool, but not in the "hot tub" (not hot and connected to the pool). They were super strict about towels--one per day, per person, NO EXCEPTIONS! 4) the restaurant was not very good and seriously overpriced. Over the course of four days, we tried just about every option on the menu, and all were sub-par. this is to be expected at a hotel restaurant. however, this is a real problem when there are no other options available.

Amazing sea views but one small disappointment
This hotel was for the most part incredible. The staff were very friendly and greeted us on arrival with a welcome drink of a refreshing glass of orange juice. We'd been driving for a while so it was very much appreciated. Our room was amazing with a mind blowing spa, and had an amazing front porch where we could sit and watch the sun set. We could also walk down to the beach which was great & had an amazing view. We hit the pool for a swim and cool down, unfortunately it was a windy day so we didn't stay long but the bartender at the pool bar was very pleasant & skilled. Dinner was fabulous and I highly recommend the food. The only downside was we needed to head off at 8am the following day to get to our next location, and although breakfast was supposed to be served at 7:30, by 8am no hot food had come out at all so we didn't have a good size breakfast & had to stop for something to eat on the way. Other than this we enjoyed our stay at the hotel and if we had more time in this region we would have stayed a few nights.

VERY DISAPPOINTING !
On arrival we were charged an extra 450 euros due to a booking error . I had called the hotel and Expedia to make them aware of the booking error. Expedia had made notes on their booking and hotel staff had notes on the reservation too. We were to pay an additional fee that I was fully aware of and the fee was agreed to be 200 euros. Instead when we arrived it was an additional amount of 450 euros. There was no compromise on their part, no upgrade and no trying to please the customer. When asked to talk to the manager we were told we would need to make an appointment. When they offered to make an appointment, the manager was only available 3 hours later. Very unprofessional. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!

Hidden gem with gorgeous views and private beach
This was my first time at this hotel, but it definitely won't be the last. This is an absolute gem of a boutique hotel; all the rooms are suites with sea view (remember, this is the Ionian Sea, not an ocean, so we can't call it ocean view), the beautiful pool is a very short walk away, and the wonderful private beach only a few meters further away. The rooms are super modern, super clean, and super comfortable, the huge balconies offer gorgeous views of the sea and amazing sunsets, and the kitchen whips up wonderful specialties made with fresh local ingredients. This hidden gem, tucked away in a remote spot, is perfect for a relaxing vacation.

Outstanding
This hotel is located a bit out of the way on the coast of the Ionian sea near Pyrgos - as you drive down the increasingly rural roads, you wonder if there is really a hotel at the end, but in fact, there is, and it is a beautiful modern facility, with great service. We stayed one night on the way from Nafplio to Kefalonia and it made a great stopover. Room was modern and clean and the restaurant was also very good. The beach is beautifully set among the rocks and not at all crowded. Keep in mind that the nearest town is a bit of a drive, so I would not plan on walking from the hotel to any restaurant.

Lovely hotel right next to fabulous quiet beach
Fantastic quiet and small hotel in remote location. Beautiful quiet beach - possible to get an umbrella at any time of day. Lovely shallow water and nice sand, great for children. The hotel also has a fabulous good sized pool, jacuzzi and children's pool, which were also very quiet - an absolute pleasure to spend the whole day between there and the beach. The breakfast buffet was very good with a large selection and there is a nice restaurant as well as a bar by the pool. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The suites were a really good size, very nicely furnished and kept spotlessly clean. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and will be returning there ourselves.

Nice hotel on a hill
Had a delightful stay here for two nights. The property is on a hill with a lovely view. The pool is clean, but in need of a bit of work and landscaping. The beach was clean and had plenty of chairs. The room was also clean and extremely quiet. The restaurant was great. Ancient Olympia was only 30 minutes away.

Wonderful surprise on the coast
My 18 year old niece and I recently stayed at Mare Dei and had a delightful time. The property is somewhat difficult to find but when we arrived - the view and property were beautiful. And the staff went above and beyond in being helpful with directions. The beach and water were convenient and relaxing. If you are traveling to visit Olympia - this is a great resort to base yourself from.

A fuir si vous voulez des vacances grecques !
Nous avons réservé cet hôtel car c’était le seul 4 étoiles dans la région. Et bien grosse déception. En plus d’être un club de vacances bruyant et bourré de Français, les installations et chambres sont basiques et vétustes. Aucun produit de soins dans la salle de bain, si ce n’est un gel tout en un fixé au mur. Plage caillouteuse nécessitant des chaussures de bain. Aucun service sur la plage, vous devez installer vous-même votre chaise longue, sans matelas. Linge de plage prêtés contre caution de € 10.- pièce, mais linge vétustes, comme dans la chambre. Belle vue depuis la chambre « avec vue mer ». Petit-déjeuner correct et varié, mais dans j e salle contenant 150 personnes en même temps, bruyante et sans aucune intimité. Nous nous sommes trompés en réservant cet hôtel, car c’est tout ce que nous fuyons d’habitude !

Kleines Hotel mit eigener Bucht
Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Panoramablick auf das Meer. Im Zimmer hätte ich mit etwas mehr Ausstattung gewünscht. Es wirkte etwas kalt und war durch fehlende Möblierung sehr hellhörig. Der Kühlschrank war nicht verbaut und machte daher ständig Geräusche. Vom Frühstück hätte ich etwas mehr erwartet. Die Preise sind völlig ok, Abendessen bekommt man im Umfeld besseres.

Hotelanlage hat uns sehr gut gefallen, aber sehr abgelegen und trotz GPS-System nicht einfach zu finden. Nicht gefallen hat uns das Angebot zum Abendessen. Hier stimmt unseres Erachtens das Preis- Leistungungsverhältnis nicht. Bei Münchner Preisen, erwarten wir auch entsprechende Qualität und entsprechenden Service. Beides war nicht gegeben. Zu teuer für das Gebotene.

Εξαιρετικό ξενοδοχείο, άριστα εκπαιδευμένο προσωπικό. Πολύ καλό πρωινό. Αρνητικό: απαράδεκτο οδικό δίκτυο έως την είσοδο του ξενοδοχείου. Η οδήγηση, ειδικά βράδυ, μπορεί να είναι επικίνδυνη. Εκτιμώ ότι αν το κράτος εξασφαλίσει σωστό οδικό δίκτυο, η εμπειρία των πελατών θα είναι άριστη.
