Marpunta Resort, Santikos Collection

Amazing stay in Marpunta Hotel The most amazing paradise. We stayed early August the hotel was full and still very quiet as so spaced out. We did Bed and breakfast - you could pay 30 euros for buffet style dinner which was amazing ( children 12 euros) the staff are truely magic and cannot do enough to help. There are no near by restaurants to just walk to from the hotel but they do have a free shuttle service which takes you to the local town at various times of the day. This may not be on the website but they have daily pilates, yoga, paddle boards, kayaks, tennis courts, a restaurant by the pool where the food is fantastic. We did a two centre holiday with the second part in skiathos which is better if you like some shopping! You can book all of this yourself online - no need to use a holiday company, we used seajets for the island transfer, and if you contact the hotel they will pick you up, very recommended

Beautiful place, with 2 beach accesses. Calm and nice aesthetics. Unfortunately it seems that they recruit only trainees and all people were polite, lacks of professionalism. Seems that a ship without captain. Breakfast also basic. Moreover, the cleaning every 2 days was not expected at this level of hotel that they present online!

We just enjoyed 2 weeks with friends just finished at Marpunta Village. Each time we have been here it gets better and better with the beautiful landscape, relaxing pool with those incredible beaches. This place is so very special, the resort is absolutely situated in green surroundings with stunning views all around. We decided to come back and bring family friends. We too have travelled with Jet2 on a couple occasions to Skiathos and Alonissos, and our views of the resort are pure opposite from others who like to moan and complain on every little thing. The teal and orange coloured rooms we each received were very comfortable, welcoming, cosy, well renovated and maintained, clean and quiet. We enjoyed the sea views in the mornings from our balconies with our friends. The meals are excellent and in no way repetitive as some suggest! The 4 of us loved each selection of each day's buffet at breakfast and dinner. Fruits, fresh baked goods, omelettes made any way you want. The service staff in the restaurants and pool bar always had a smile and we certainly felt welcomed and nothing else. The difference is we got to know the staff not mentioned by titles. That's when you know you had a wonderful stay with the people who treated us as they really appreciated our business and stay. You are welcomed as family members not just guests, that comes from Joseph Rodriquez the assistant director of the resort. Stellios the restaurant manager made our anniversary dinner special and our server Sofia and Cassandra at Achinos sea side restaurant. Delightful staff celebrated our special day with tremendous service and delicious meal. Kostatsina and Georgia pool bartenders were such a joy to talk to. Really friendly and made my husband some great cocktails. Also with the always kind and attentive Abraham pool attendant, who helped us with our umbrella at the pool. This is how you enjoy a holiday, get to know the staff by name not by titles, who do work to please every guest that allows them to serve. These mentionings of Marpunta staff wouldn't be complete without sharing the professional and tremendously hospitable assistant director of the resort and the reception girls at the desk. Trust me, if you need information about the resort or you need to plan your trip around Alonissos, the reception girls and Mr. Rodriquez are more than ready to service your every need. With more than enough activities and recommendations of places to go and do around the Island. Mr. Rodriquez and the girls arrange our arrival and departure transfers with Albedo Travel who do represent Jet2, so there is someone in Jet2 here on the Island and her name is Christina Georgio with Albedo Travel. She and Mr. Rodriquez has great communication with each other. Through her, he gave us all of the departure instructions and luggage handling. And now for Mr. Rodriquez, who is the absolute epitome of great hospitality as well as a true scholar with a great positive and energetic attitude. Before

Beautiful location, excellent staff, great food, room and public areas spotless, great pool and beach areas, nice gardens, excellent service from airport to resort and return, just a shame about the steep climb from the main resort areas to the accommodation. Not sure that the golf buggies are the safest solution?

The Marpunta resort is located in a quite location on the island, rooms are well equipped, clean and tidy. our room was at the top of the resort with sea views from the balcony. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. A la Carte and pool side snack bar was also very good. The pool and pool area is superb. However the private beaches are pebbly and not the best! The hotel does provide s Free 3 times a day shuttle service into town. which is a great service if you are staying B&B or just need to get out and about. as mentioned by other guests there is a very steep climb from the pool/restaurant area back to the accommodation which could prove difficult for anyone with mobility issues, however the hotel does provide a welcome golf buggy to transfer guests to and from your room. Overall enjoyed our stay at the marpunta only negative is the site and gardens are looking a little "tired" and in need of some refreshing

Where to begin - Felt like the resort had already shut for season. Many of the staff miserable. Lounge bar was closed until two nights before we left (stayed 2 weeks). After dinner- you had no where to go but back to your rooms. It Felt like boot camp. For the jet 2 star advised it was no where near. Food was repetitive, and very disappointing. For such a beautiful spot, so much could have been done to make this stay memorable. Yoga? What yoga? We were given so little information on check in. Staff lacked motivation, and didn’t want to be there. To add insult to injury, I gave the keys back this morning saying we had already settled up. The manager rushed over saying 8 euros, 8 euros! I calmly confirmed again we had settled. He said to the receptionist 8 euros and you never know!! 3,500 pounds were paid for this exclusive resort and were made to feel like we were dishonest. Also we were unable to get water supplies until we got our car but were told we could only buy from restaurant when open. For anyone else- stay in the town where you will get a much better service. Jet 2 - you need your guys in there assessing the resort or you will have a lot more complaints. Anyone thinking of booking - honestly, just don’t . It will be interesting if this review gets any acknowledgment- only the ok ones seem to .
