Sep 2004, Mr R Holding

Quite simply appalling, worst hotel ever stayed at.
Food bland and repetitive (twice a day for 7 days) ate out all week! Tiny drinks, waiting 15 minutes to be served, rude staff, a/c extra charge!, dirty room, cloudy un-maintained pool very deep, no good for children, shingle beach although told sandy, no entertainment, no courtesy rooms before departure, one shower in toilet with no locks.
Do not go !

Well this hotel was not great, but I have no huge moans. The pool was plenty big enough for the size of the hotel, and has children’s pool. The rooms were basic, but fine (shower wasn’t all that). You get what you pay for - it’s a cheap hotel, so it’s not too bad. The A/c worked fine, a very minimal extra cost. The food wasn’t great, we ate out a couple of times, just for variety, but wasn’t really expecting it to be great (it rarely is at cheap All Inclusive). The bar man was excellent, worked every hour god gave, and even kept the bar open late for us. We met a really good crowd of Brits, and spent most evenings with them. The beaches are only a couple of minutes walk, and there is one sandy and one pebble with water sports available. When we were there they were gradually doing up the rooms (at no disturbance to visitors), so I’m sure once they are all done, this hotel will be fine. After all a holiday is what you make it!

The biggest marathon is having the bottle to stay there for your allotted time.
The food is disgusting, no variation and little of it. My partner drinks whiskey, none available all week. Only one bottle of any spirit used in a day I drink Vodka , unfortunately so did a lot of other ladies and when the bottle was gone, it was not replaced until next day. No cocktails at all.
No snacks apart from little squares of pizza at 1600hrs only one plate full though so if you were not quick you missed out. No entertainment at all, Staff very rude, Ate out lots and drank across the road . Lovely bar down by sea nice restaurant too.
Give this one a wide berth.

Jul 2004, Miss J Hicks

The Marathon hotel lets the whole Island of Rhodes down. The food is absolutely disgusting along with the rooms and the service of all those that run and work in the hotel.
The only positive experience of the dreadful holiday was that it had a decent (small) pool.
The management of the hotel or owners is appalling and rude.
I personally booked a 7 night break with them and we had only spent 6 nights there ,when we returned to our room to find it had been stripped and all of belongings had been packed up and dumped in the hotel lobby. As apparently we should have been out of our room by 12.00 that day.
Not only did we not no what the hell was going on they first refused to let me back in the room to gather the rest of my belongings the they had failed to throw in with the rest of my belongings, including my daughters asthma medication and gold earrings and money.
When complaining to the owner whom is always at the hotel he shouted at my 7 year old daughter and I to get out of his office and not to check my bags in his room.
I would never return there again.
I was told there was children’s animation but all there was an empty room with a box of crayons (no paper) and a ball tent.
There wasn't any evening entertainment. The food was not catered for the kids what so ever and all the food was cold.
