Marianna Studios

wow!! wot a lovely place. very clean and friendly! not far from the beach. spent 10 nights there, was fab, would highly recommend.

I was impressed by this place for its tranquility and friendly staff. The rooms are spacious and neat and have a balcony.Kitchen house ware is provided for those that want to prepare meals in the room. All amenities are available including a swimming pool. Prices are cheaper until the 15th July and rise a little (45Euros) until the end of August. Marianna and her family are very gentle and helpful. You cannot go wrong with this hotel. It is on the main road to Tigaki beach but still within walking distance to the water.

Just had a week at Marianna - have been to many greek islands and the mainland and this is the best accommodation for standard and price. The rooms are spotless and the maids clean every day except Sunday. The staff are the friendliest and nothing is too much trouble, every request is handled with enthusiasm and a smile. Vassili and Maria can,t do enough to ensure your time at Marianna is memorable. Will definitely visit again and highly recommend.

The second time I have stayed in these appartments. Was greeted with a friendly face and made very welcome considering it was early morning. Maria the owner and all the staff were great throughout the holiday as Malia can be a bit of a crazy place, but it was nice to sit at the hotel bar chat with all the other guests and Maria and bar staff who made sure I was safe all the time, during the day the first question was always how was your night you have good time. Nice pool area to relax around during the day and i was surprised how warm the water was very relaxing, good place to start the day of with a breakfast, which always went down a treat. I had read a bad review on here and was a bit concerned so when I was there I had mentioned this to Maria and she explained what had happened which was a completly different way that it comes accross on here I wont go into detail but her son was the one hospitalised by these guys and people should not judge this hotel from them few comments, I will deffinately be going back next year and am already looking forward to it THANK YOU ALL AT MARIANNA

A fantastic holiday made special by the excellent hotel staff.
It was our first holiday to Kos and certainly it will not be the last.
Rooms were lovely clean and everybody very friendly.
Great weather, nice pool, good food, excellent resort and location of the Marianna.
Now we been we can understand why a lot of people are in love with this
holiday destination. Marianna has a lot of repeat guest too and we met a lot of nice people during our stay there.
Loved every minute of it and can’t wait to next year.

just got back from marianna appartments i would recommend the marianna nice peaceful location yet only 5-10 mins walk to malia night life, the owners are friendly and helpful rooms bright and clean, pool and bar area brilliant the food was excellent, maria especially ia very kind and considerate nothing was too much trouble id go again anytime, we had a brilliant time thanks to all, a big thank you to maria for being so patient with one of the girls i took on holiday

I went to Kos Tingaki and stayed at Marianna Studios for 1 week in September this year.
In general great place to stay for couples and families, clean tidy and quite central to beach, restaurants and big supermarket up the road.
The pool is clean, apartments basic but have all that you need, fridge, cooker, wardrobe, beds etc. The maids came and cleaned everyday giving fresh towels which was good
Dont book any excursions with the tour operator Thompson or First Choice, go down the road and book independently yourself with the locals. Do the 3 island cruise its great. Dont do the Bodrum Turkey visit as the Turks are dirty [--] and try to force sales upon you.
Overall great resort nice friendly people I would give 8 out of 10 for this holiday
The only downside is the smokers. Even though smoking is suppose to be banned officially in Greece, the [--] still smoke!!

I loved Tingaki, Kos. It was a brilliant holiday. I really enjoyed it.
I loved going in the pool and staying around the hotel in the day-time because the staff were very friendly. The 'First Choice' rep (From Swansea =P) was very nice and helpful.
Then in the late afternoon I tended to go to the internet cafe (To go on web cam) which was almost next door to 'Hotel Marianna'
My favourite place in town was the Australian bar which we caught a horse and cart to most nights.
Really friendly people there to. Especially Colin from Wales again. (A lot of Welsh people move there =P)

I have been to Tingaki before and to other Greek Islands. Tingaki is the only resort I have ever returned to !! That should say enough. The place is quiet, relaxing and a great place to wind down and also a great base to explore the island. The Marianna appartments are typical Greek. Basic but spotless. Not a cockroach in sight. I went with my wife and daughter (age 12). The appartments are split by a sliding door to give a little privacy. There is a double hob and a kettle. I took a toaster and some toasty bags in my luggage. LOL. The water in the shower was always hot and it never ran out. The aircon is expensive 48 euros a week.I spoke with couple who has problems with the electricity supply in that it kept cutting out. They told me the rep was hopeless. No such problems for me though. Make sure you turn the lights off when you go out (including the veranda) because if they are left on the power trips out...typical Greek !! The beds are like wood mind. The staff at the hotel are great. Stella on the snack bar and Maria on reception speak great English and are always very helpful. Don't be afraid to ask for anything. The prices in the snack bar are a bit on the expensive side but the breakfast is OK. You would probably get better & cheaper at one of the many taverna's but its wether you can be bothered to walk !! The pool area can be a little cramped on the right side as the walk way is narrow although everyone seemed ok with it. It is nice and clean. It does close at 7pm. The rules are you don't take your own food to the poolside. It seemed to me that as long as you bought the odd thing from the snack bar they didn't bother. I imagine it could get very expensive with a couple of children. Tingaki is a great place if you want nice food and a quiet holiday. It seemed as though everyone in the resort remembered us from last year ! My wife is a very strict veggy and every restaraunt catered for her making dishes not on the menu. I would thouroughly recommend these appts and Tingaki. Didn't give it a 10 because of the greek level of accomodation. But i doubt you'll get better for the price. If your thinking of booking the Oasis down the road (same sort of prices) DON'T. Have a read of my review from last year. The owner is a miserable beggar!! Cliff Devine x
