We returned from our 2nd holiday at the Marvel recently. The hotel had received a fresh lick of paint over the winter (they had worked hard) and is spotlessly clean. When we were there, air-conditioning was a must, I don't think it dropped below 29 degrees! Well worth the 5 euros per day.
Arillas is a wonderful resort, a great beach, fantastic tavernas and 2 lovely bars. We particularly enjoyed every meal we had at Kostas on the Beach (especially the chocolate mousse!) and Costas at the Marvel kindly ordered in 2 lobsters and some huge prawns for us. Beautifully cooked by his mum - a memorable evening! Also, Perry (great cocktails - good luck with the baby), Kostas (thanks for humouring me with my record requests) and Hannah (charming) at the Coconut Bar are well worth a visit or two!
For hire cars, we got a good deal at Arillas Travel. The island is definitely worth exploring.
We will definitely be returning as it is such a friendly place. Can't fault it at all...just wish we could be going back there sooner.
