The variety of the dinner menu was another point of concern with several reviewers mentioning that the options were repetitive and lacking in diversity over multiple evenings. Issues with overcooked meat and limited menu changes were commonly mentioned. Additionally, the dining facilities were often described as noisy and crowded, detracting from the dining experience. Some guests also found the dinner schedule too restrictive with service ending at 9 pm sharp, leaving late diners with limited options.

The obligation to pay extra for drinks, even with a half-board package, was a recurring frustration among guests and several noted poor organization and slow service in the dining room. Overall, while the dinner experience at Marina Elite has its strengths, it appears that there are significant areas in need of improvement, particularly in terms of food quality, variety and dining ambience.

The beach is celebrated for its pristine white sand and tranquil atmosphere, making it a favorite spot for sunbathing and relaxation.

Parking
Marina Elite offers several advantages when it comes to parking, making it a feasible option for car-using guests. A significant plus is the availability of free parking within the complex. Despite this perk, reviews indicate there's a limited number of parking spaces, which can sometimes be insufficient given the number of visitors. The parking areas themselves are secure and closed, an appreciated feature for those prioritizing safety.

Some guests reported that parking spaces were always available and conveniently located near the apartments, though others noted that the spaces could be far from the reception area. The parking arrangements are considered a luxury by some because of the added convenience it provides in an otherwise challenging area for parking. However, the small size and limited number of spaces can be a point of frustration, as people sometimes have to search extensively or even negotiate with security for a spot.

The facility's private parking is secure, but finding a place can sometimes involve maneuvering through a small garage or open areas located a bit further from the hotel. Overall, while parking can be a hassle during peak times, the benefits of secure, free parking options make it a manageable aspect of staying at Marina Elite.

Business
Marina Elite offers a generally well-maintained hotel environment, which some have identified as a great option for business stays. The availability of a supermarket on site and a bike workshop are practical amenities that could be advantageous for business travelers who also enjoy cycling.

However, there are notable concerns that could impact a business visitor's experience. The WiFi service, which is critical for working remotely, was deemed poor and administrative tasks such as obtaining invoices were inefficient and frustrating. Meal times appear to cater more to vacationing tourists, potentially clashing with the schedules of business guests.

Despite these challenges, some guests have still found it to be an ideal location for a work trip, highlighting its business-friendly nature and facilities for bike storage and maintenance. Nonetheless, improvements in WiFi and administrative efficiency would enhance the overall experience for those traveling for business.

Families found the pool facilities enjoyable with kids particularly happy with the swimming areas. The pool bars, especially with Hector mixing cocktails, added to the enjoyment of the poolside experience. However, there were a few comments about the pool areas being too busy at times and the size of the pools being somewhat small for the number of guests.

Overall, the outdoor pool facilities at Marina Elite were a highlight for many guests, offering well-maintained and pleasant spaces to relax and enjoy their stay.
