Marpunta Resort Alonnisos

Very accommodating hotel and very relaxing. Super friendly staff especially Zois and Dimitris! I had cut myself, and within seconds the staff treated it, and made sure I was okay. Pleasurable and satisfying experience. Will definitely come back!

Resort lovely embedded into nature at the oceanfront, in the trees, with amazing viewd to the ocean. Dimitris the Front Office Supervisor being the all round talent, a lot of energy and hearty hospitality and customer orientation.Thanks for your care and making us a great time! Thanks also to Joe the General Manager - and: we made it on the ferry ;) 5 star hospitality by Dimitris 5 stars location & cleaness 3-4 stars on programm/activities, but that's a personal flavour

We have just had the most amazing two weeks ever at Marpunta Resort. If you are looking for peace and relaxation, then look no further than this hamlet of paradise on the island of Alonnisos. The journey, although long, was an adventure and each section was timed perfectly. We were met at Patitiri Port by the lovely Christina of Albedo Travel who expertly handed us over to Joe the hotel manager. Our room was lovely and very clean, we especially loved our shower (it was so big). We had everything we could need for our stay. The rooms are located up a steep hill, which at first seems daunting, but the hotel provides a buggy service to take you up to your rooms (or down to reception) any time up until 11pm. Often Dimitris (Front Office Supervisor) would arrive in the buggy with the biggest smile on his face to pick us up. What a lovely lad, so friendly, helpful and polite. Breakfast was amazing, there was so much choice and the staff were very attentive, friendly and cheerful. The pool area was very clean and well equipped, there were plenty of sunbeds and they were so comfortable. The pool bar was there for drinks and snacks when needed and Mario would very kindly carry your orders to your sunbed for you. I would like to say that Georgia, in the pool bar, makes the most amazing coffees and frappes. Every evening at 6:30pm we took the hotel free minibus to Patitiri Port and we were picked up at 9:15pm to be taken back to the resort. The mini bus driver Simon would tell us about his stories and experiences working around Europe, he is such a nice, friendly person, we often shared some funny stories. The Assistant Manager Joe is an amazing man, so kind, patient and respectful, nothing is too much effort for him and this is reflected onto his amazing team at the resort, there is a perfect blend and harmony with the staff. Mark and I miss you all very much and cannot wait to return. Thank you to everyone at Marpunta Resort you are all amazing and helped to give us such wonderful memories. PS, Thank you for giving Mark the most delicious cake on his birthday xx

The worst holiday experience I have ever had in over 50 years ! This is a beautiful island, exception views and a lovely looking hotel, great reception and housekeeping staff but that is where the positives end sadly. The General Manager just does not care about anyone but himself and is just so rude but the assistant manger Jo and Zois do and are holding the hotel together. The service and food in the restaurant are non existant, if you want to eat you have to clear your own table and set it yourself., the tables every night were full of used plates. The food was always so cold and service terrible. If you want a drink good luck it took over an hour to get service and when you got your glass of 180ml wine it was 125ml at the most but charged 8 euros. Nothing is open following your meal, there is a beautiful inside bar and seating area as is was cold on an evening but not open, neither was the outside pool bar We booked this hotel for our special anniversary and were so disappointed. After 6 nights we could stand no more as was just spoiling our holiday so we contacted Jet2. Jet 2 were outstanding and moved us to the sister hotel Skiathos Princess which was just outstanding, amazing staff, food and service which is what we were expecting from Marpunta. Marpunta is a beautiful location it just needs to deliver the same standards as their sister hotel which is possible looking at their reviews last year, and please stop with the excuses people are paying good money for a terrible experience.

Marpunta is a wonderful place I have to thanks Dimitris who gave me the opportunity to upgrade which i really appreciate and I thank all the staff who made me feel like at my home. I hope to come back very soon. I enjoyed my stay here at Marpunta and can't wait to do it again!

This Vacation had been booked since November 2023 and we were looking forward to a lovely stay after such remarkable reviews ! The location was amazing the room was small but spotlessly clean Front of House worked tirelessly and to make up for issues elsewhere ! We were aware the location was a good thirty minute walk into the port so we booked the Vacation half board to avoid walking into the port or arranging a taxi to and from the port Reminder this Hotel is Four star and based on previous reviews our staycation should be exceptional ! The Hotel welcomed various guest from European Countries Evening Meal Help yourselves to aTable if you can find one Clean and Laid Out for Service, We may get around to you ordering a drink with your meal if you are lucky and if you are drinking wine the size of the glass presented to you for the price. If you don’t mind moving plates to one side of your table you may have a table quicker but don’t expect to have the table cleared for you to eat ! Looking at the amount of staff there was a problem : the amount of and ability of the staff working within the restaurant! The issue were exacerbated with the restaurant being busy ! We were greeted with a buffet style meal. On the surface looking good to start but very cold.Plates were small same size for starter and mains, One positive sweets had the same plates but portions controlled by the staff to avoid shortage by greedy Europeans First Evening Meal of our Vacation and still no drink with NOT even water presented Trying to obtain a reasonable drink we visited the Pool Bar this was closed but according to the Hotel Information it should have been opened until 11pm ! So we retired to our room after having a long day travelling and keeping an open mind this would improve the following day with the breakfast service unfortunately we were so wrong with our expectations! Breakfast from 7.45 am we were down for 8am looking forward to the amazing views and the breakfast ! The views did not disappoint but the breakfast did again short of staff tables not ready and drinks service non existent if you required a reasonable turn around for drinks you had to present yourself and ask politely for the drink you wanted. The Gentleman serving the drinks seemed less than Happy to say the least Regarding the Breakfast Food certain elements were missing Toaster for example ! Food selection looking good but Luke warm to say the least By the time we were leaving Breakfast plates were amounting up on the tables reducing space for peoples chance to enjoy Breakfast After this we decided we needed a rest on the sunbeds around the pool but towels weren’t available until most mornings until more towards lunchtime rather than 10am ! This theme continued and we witnessed quite a few people complaining at the main reception but they were presented with apologies like ours for example struggling to recruit staff and train so early in the season and we will improve going forward being

This is my second visit to this amazing resort, and my husband and I were not disappointed. If anything, it was even better than last year. The hotel is clean, quirky and vibrant . It has modern aspects alongside traditional Greek values. The staff are superb. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the eagerness to fulfil your holiday wishes is ever present. From the delightfully chatty and smiley Adriana on the reception, to the hard-working Dimitris and Nikos on the Pool bar, the cleaners, restaurant staff and everyone around were always there to help. The restaurants had a vast array of superb food, my particular favourites were the moussaka, followed by the most delicious baklava. Truly exquisite. The excellent hotel shuttle bus helped us to venture out to the Old Town and Patitiri and the Amani 180 Spa came and collected us from resort. All of this made for a superb holiday experience . So if you’re looking for a relaxing, tranquil, aromatic holiday in truly stunning surroundings with clean ocean waters, I highly recommend this hotel. Thank you to all, I’m going home truly relaxed and refreshed. Xxx

Just back from a week staying here and it's a great place but few things to know... POSITIVES -The closeness of the pool and the beach is amazing -you don't have to be up early for a sunbed and if your not using the bed they clear it ready for the next person -The rooms and hotel in general is very clean. -They have a few amazing members of staff. NEGATIVES/TIPS -"The Hill" is a monster so if you have mobility issues I would not consider here.. There is the option of a buggie but there are hills and steps to get to all areas of the hotel. -Pool closes at 7pm- in July the sun is still out till 9.. It would be nice to be able to be out in the sunshine a little longer. -Evening buffet is from 7-9, so that's why everyone leaves the pool around 6.. Its a very short amount of time for evening sitting.. And they really want you out of there by 9pm. -The other restaurant is open till much later but this is not part of your half board (well we were told it was but then when we went was told it wasn't!) and is overpriced. -communication is very hit and miss. -Bar was way overpriced... For a €12 Aperol you would expect a huge goblet of a drink, but it was a small glass of wine size.. Also if your going to charge €3.50 for a can of coke, don't give me a call with 65c on it and a warning that it should not be split from a multi pack. -Bring your own entertainment, there is nothing in the evening, that's not a bad thing. -I would also recommend getting the free bus to the town and back to stock up on booze, treats etc as you will save yourselves a fortune. There is no shop on site so you need to head out.. Generally a great place, but as I say there were some things we wish we knew before we went.
