This was our second visit to this wonderful hotel, and once again, it was brilliant in every way. It's the staff that make this hotel stand out, they literally go above and beyond to ensure everything, from start to finish, goes just right. Special thanks also go to Maria and Frenkli at the beach; they were attentive to our service. Valentina at the bar served our drinks with charm and professionalism, always making sure we were well looked after. Denis, Dimitris, Esmerelda, Eleanor, Eirini, Maria, and Kiriaki made every meal special because of their warm and thoughtful service. Of course, they really made a difference in their jobs. And Chef Ornella outdid herself again! Her dishes were just special, flavors and presentation that make every meal special. One could feel the passion of food with literally every single bite. Overall, this second stay was as nice as the first. We did notice that Indigo, which was open for breakfast on our first visit, wasn't open for breakfast on this visit. Also, we missed seeing the profiteroles on the menu, a favourite of ours. It would be great to see these return in the future.

I don’t know where to begin with this hotel! An absolute hidden gem we are so glad we stumbled across! Originally booked at the king Jason zante who cancelled our holiday last minute and left us with no holiday and not much time to book an alternative, after days of searching Instagram we came across the Elix Mar Bella and all I can say is thank god the king Jason cancelled us!!!! The hotel , view, scenery is all absolutely stunning!! Prosecco on check in, and shown to our suite with a beautiful private infinity pool! The room was thoroughly cleaned daily, not a single ounce of dirt! We had the signature life package and so our mini bar was repelled daily and then house keeping would come around again at night to see if you needed anything at all. The bed is extremely comfortable, seperate sofa area. Huge double wardrobes! The pool was just incredible!! We stayed here most of our holiday!! Pictures just don’t do it justice! The food was beautiful at the restaurants and at the buffet! Always hot. Lots of variety! Just beautiful! We had several lattes and cappuccinos - Bean to cup coffee with steamed milk- no cheap artificial coffee machine coffee! We had a pizza at the beach bar one day which was massive but they boxed up what was left so we could take it away! The ONLY thing I could possibly nitpick at if I had to find a negative was the kids 🤣 as a childless couple, the screaming children next door or at the buffets teamed with the child who would get up and run riot at 6am in the room above us- not great! Shame it’s not adults only / have a seperate area of suites for adults only. The hotel is honestly the most beautiful we have ever stayed in, the holiday the best we have ever had! It will take so much to top the Elix mar bella!! We have serious holiday blues!!!!

Superb hotel in a fabulous setting. The rooms and communal areas have a contemporary feel with high quality furnishings. All staff are polite and friendly. Although the pool and beach were great, we also spent some time exploring the local areas such as , Parga and Sovito which were easy...

Superb hotel in a fabulous setting. The rooms and communal areas have a contemporary feel with high quality furnishings. All staff are polite and friendly. Although the pool and beach were great, we also spent some time exploring the local areas such as , Parga and Sovito which were easy to drive to from the hotel. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Elix, especially at this time of year.

Wonderful experience from start to finish! From the welcoming drink and personal check in to the farewell. Decided to go AI and it worked for us . Loved the dine around experience especially at the Indigo !! Well done Niko and all the staff who welcomed us every lunch time. The hotel is exceptional with wonderful staff who go out of their way to make your stay a memorable one. Quick mention to Irene at the lounge bar who always brought us evening drinks with a smile! We had a corner room with stunning views across the sea to Corfu and Paxos. The views are truly outstanding. Highly recommend the hotel. Hope to return one day. Great team! Keep up the good work !!

Reading other 5 stars reviews on trip advisor, I was expecting that our stay would be wonderful. Also, having experience of 5 stars hotel in London as a negotiator for rack business rate, I was expecting the best. No way ! this resort is not a five star hotel, not for the services, food, facilities and entertainment. Location on the top hill of the karovastasi beach and panoramic views were wonderful but far from anywhere. Rooms acceptable for the space and position and the private pools. The view from the bathroom on the balcony and beach priceless! Gardens well kept. However room furniture was cheap, toiletries craps, with soap dispensers like in a Premier inn hotel, toiletries and mini fridge drinks replenished once a week and really cheap. One bottle of water among two people for the whole day, ants on the table, one uncomfortable chair in the room for one person, one old sofa bed and a bath tub with no safety bars to aid you out and rather slipper without a mat. . Pool with too much chlorine and very cold water. One day no bed was made and cups washed. One day water missing. The welcome pack was crap, three hard red apples which you couldn’t eat and a bottle of cheap wine, no biscuits or other fruit or cakes as experienced in other hotels. Pillows were very uncomfortable. No ironing board either. No shuttle bus to a nearest centre, once a week on Thursday to Parga only for 7 people at the price of 25 euro each. Trips outside to explore the area terrible expensive. Lift funicular area closed in the evenings so you could not go down the beach path to other tavernas in karovastasi beach. Dangerous if you took the path through the woods. Buffet Restaurant very small for the number of guests. Food inedible most of the times, with overgrilled tough beef, pork or chicken, no green vegetables available and repetitive Menus. No nice seafood like prawns, sea bream or sea bass or lobster or any beautiful cooked fish, more like a canteen than else. The restaurants alla carte had to be paid extra and not so wonderful either. Cheese or delicatessen variety very poor, just few slices of Gouda, Marsdam or Emmenthall, feta. Staff helpful when they could but the whole things was chaotic. We couldn’t wait to go back home. Our last evening meal was awful. The cherry on the cake was to be asked to pay for the coffee in the morning at breakfast! . The weather didn’t help either and people were all crammed inside the restaurant, with crying toddlers or babies. No lights available in some areas, especially around the large swimming pool. In my opinion the hotel lets a lot to be desired. The management doesn’t understand what customers want from holidays and the hotel is not good value for the money paid. We certainly would not go back.

Stunning hotel! This hotel was beautiful. My room was great with its own pool. The food was great! My husband loved the tennis court and the instructor! The beach activities were fun and great touch . I went back to the uk telling everyone how beautiful this place was
