Marini Seaside

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Marini Seaside? It’s actually tucked away in this perfect spot where Faliraki bay curves toward Kastri beach – not right in the middle of Faliraki’s party central, but close enough that you can walk to everything in about ten minutes. I mean, when you’re staying in Faliraki, you usually expect to be right in the thick of the noise, but this place gives you the best of both worlds.

The hotel itself has this Mediterranean charm that doesn’t feel forced or overly polished. The rooms face the water, and honestly, waking up to that view of the Aegean never gets old – even after a week there. What I really appreciated was how the staff seemed to know the area inside and out. They told us about this little path that cuts down to a quieter section of the beach where the locals go, which you’d never find on your own. The breakfast setup overlooks the water too, and they do this Greek yogurt with local honey that’s… well, it’s the kind of thing that makes you realize how different real Greek food tastes compared to what you get back home.

Here’s the thing about the location that the travel sites don’t really capture – you’re positioned perfectly between the busier Faliraki beach scene and the more secluded Kastri area. So if you want to join the beach volleyball games and grab a drink at one of those beach bars, it’s a short walk. But if you want to find a spot with clearer water and fewer crowds, you just head the other way. Parking isn’t an issue if you rent a car (which you should, by the way – Rhodes has too much to see to stay put), and the road connections are actually pretty good for getting to Lindos or even Rhodes Town. The 9.9 rating makes sense once you’re there for a few days. It’s not just about the room or the view – though both are solid – it’s more about how everything works together. The place runs smoothly without feeling sterile, the location gives you options, and the staff genuinely seems to care about making sure you know what you’re doing with your time on the island.

Reviews

• Emre from Turkey – 9 June 2025 (10/10)

  The rooms are located behind a beach restaurant, so you can eat and enjoy the beach conviniently. The beach is very big, not really crowded. The hotel has umbrellas and beds on th beach. The owners Matias and Irini are wonderful people, always welcoming. The best thing with the stay was sharing of the happiness. The owners, the staff, kids, guests even the cute dog Denis was super happy. We will definitely come back in the future!
  
  What could be improved: If you are looking for a super silence at the beach, the beach club next to the hotel has a full day DJ. It is not really loud, we were not disturbed, even enjoyed it.

  The staff were so friendly and welcoming. They were so helpful and generous, nothing was too much for them. Our room was so nice and the food was delicious. If you are a dog lover, they have a beautiful little dog called Denis. We will definitely be back ❤️

• Alina from Germany – 27 May 2025 (10/10)

  Right on the beach, saves a lot of time if you are not the kind of person who just stays on the beach all day. Very friendly and kind-hearted owners, clean, large rooms, nespresso machine, good location, free beach beds.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing major

  What could be improved: All was good.

• Olya from Germany – 22 October 2024 (10/10)

  We were amazed by the hospitality of the hotel owners – Mattheos and Irini.
  And of course by the hotel itself, its location, cleanliness and comfort of the rooms. The hotel has a restaurant with very tasty food and drinks. The hotel owners were very responsive and nice. I wish further prosperity to their family business!
  
  What could be improved: we liked everything about this place!

• Sergei from Russia – 16 September 2024 (10/10)

  Perfect place with perfect owners who are willing to help you in any question you have. Always ready to call a taxi or to tell where and how to go. Which boat to take, which places to visit! Great experience! I was confused at first with a lot of positive reviews but after being here for a week I can totally guarantee you that it is totally deserved. Good beds and pillows, astonishing breakfasts and great restraunt near the hotel (owned by same people).
  
  What could be improved: Wi-fi connection could be a little bit more stable. It was just okayish

• Alexandru from Romania – 5 September 2024 (10/10)

  I loved everything. The staff was super nice and the location was perfect. Easy access to multiple attractions (Anthony Quinn Bay, Rhodes city, lots of other beaches) because it's near the main road.

• Eustace from United States – 1 September 2024 (10/10)

  The couple who own the Studios couldnt have been friendlier or mite helpful. Their adjoining restaurant was so good we ate ALL our meals there. They even arranged a van ride to the port for us and got up extra early to make sure we had breakfast before deoarting!

• Ajla from Austria – 31 August 2024 (10/10)

  It was an amazing holiday experience at the Marini Seaside! First of all, the hosts and the whole staff in the restaurant plus on the beach were super friendly and so nice. That made the whole experience even better!
  The rooms were amazing – super modern, very clean and provided you with all the necessities in the bathroom. What topped it off was the great view – directly to the sea. It’s a little gem among large hotels, yet it absolutely competes in terms of luxury and comfort!
  The breakfast was a la cart and offered nice variations of food, the best coffee and the nicest staff to serve it to you. It was a great start to the day to eat breakfast with a beautiful sea view.
  The beach was amazing, Marini Seaside offers free sunbeds to their guests including beach towels, the nice young man at the beach provided us with drinks and snacks throughout the whole day. The water was so clear – no rubbish, no sea moss or anything alike.
  All in all we can highly recommend this place for a stay in Rhodes, especially because the hosts do everything, to make it an unforgettable experience!!
  
  What could be improved: Absolutely nothing, that we could complain about!
