While the hotel is not explicitly marketed as family-friendly, many families choose this hotel as evidenced by guest reviews. Families appreciate the spacious rooms, the varied buffet food, and the beautiful hotel gardens. However, some guests have noted that the hotel can be quite busy and noisy during peak hours due to the number of families with children.

After spending a week at Marbella Elix, I am pleased to share our experience. Although our stay began with some minor drawbacks, the staff, particularly the general manager demonstrated exceptional dedication and promptly addressed all our concerns. We were delighted to find that the hotel now offers proper oat milk coffee, thanks to their responsiveness. Throughout our stay, the entire staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, making us feel truly cared for. A highlight for our family was the star gazing event at night, which my daughter thoroughly enjoyed. It's the small things that make a big difference! Thank you for making our stay enjoyable. We leave with happy smiles on our faces.

The hotel is stunning and the staff are exceptional but as a couple without children the screaming kids ruined it. The pool and buffet areas are far too small and incredibly noisy and busy. My partner is a school teacher and we have no choice but to go away during school holidays so we were expecting children but we didn’t think them banging on our door and running down the corridors screaming at 11.30 at night was acceptable. The other guests are mainly entitled well heeled brits. We paid for a swim up pool and this gave us some privacy and peace but came at a cost. Lovely hotel but too busy

Fantastic stay. We upgraded to a suite which was fabulous, well worth the money and the absolute correct choice when traveling as a couple. That said, the beach is amazing. The resort is fantastic, service friendly and efficient. Would stay again, especially if we had children. Although the food at the hotel is great as well, Don’t be afraid to step off the property and try one of the beach tavernas for lunch!

The hotel is great, a little hard to get to but definitely caters so families not couples so we would not go back. There are small children running around every corner of the resort.

Great hotel with a beautiful unspoilt bay. Couple of things to note: It isn't advertised as a family hotel but roughly 80% of families had children. Something to be mindful of when booking if you are child-free. The Marbella Nido is the sister hotel in Corfu, we stayed there last year and found the experience to be superior. The hotel is a 90 minute drive from Preveza airport, taxi's cost 160 euros each way. The buffet food is good, there is enough variation to not feel bored. It does get incredibly busy with people queuing for dishes during the core hours. We ended up going for breakfast at 10am and dinner at 9pm to ensure it was a bit more peaceful and more likely to get a space to eat outside. The busier hours felt somewhat canteen like. There is a wonderful beach bar at the far end of the bay with frozen glasses and ice cold Mythos, would recommend: Chelidoni Beach Bar. The owner was a chemist so the beer is well conditioned. We thought the gardens at the hotel were really beautiful and well maintained. The exercise lessons and spa were sub - par for a five star hotel. Overall we really enjoyed the week, weather was perfect and the water is as turquoise and beautiful as the photos.
