Reviews for Hotel Club Marina Viva
Review 1:The hotel appears to connive in (even perhaps own?) an adjacent nightclub which puts out intolerable decibels of noise until 2 am on a Saturday night. No one would sleep in a room facing or near to this noise source. The coffee in the main dining hall is excruciatingly horrible, coming out of those auto-machines that seem designed deliberately to eliminate the taste of coffee altogether. So easy to remedy. . . .
Review 2:Good location and facilities, and staff were prepared to adapt to a noise problem by finding different rooms.
Review 3:Front desk staff lacks in service mentality and professionalism. Lots of kids and noisy from discos and activities.
Review 4:Great restaurant with friendly staff
Review 5:Old and nasty blanket, no blanket cover only sheet poor, simple breakfast Not enought parking place Poor English knowledge of personal
Review 6:Very Close to Airport Convenient exit to the sea Good dinner Nice area
Review 7:We stayed for one night before taking the ferry home. Check in was very late - we arrived at approx 1pm and they couldn't tell us when our room would be ready - only that it would def be ready by 4.30pm. I think this is pretty late - most other places you can check in by 2pm. No wifi in rooms, no lifts - tough when you have a lot of luggage. Room pretty basic - very very musty smelling. Only one small bathtowel each - no hand towel or hair drying towel. We had very early start the next day (5.00am) and the bar opposite partied on until 3.30am - this was obviously not the hotel's fault and apparently they tried calling the police several times to no avail. On the whole we were very happy that we only had the one night there!
Review 8:Most of the staff
Review 9:Impossible to sleep. Even upon request no room was available which provided some protection against the music coming from "various" night clubs. Consider to amend hotel description in that respect
Review 10:pool
Review 11:Generally, the hotel needs a serious refurbishment because you feel like you have traveled back in the 80s. There is no air conditioning in the room and no hairdryer. Although the towels are clean, they smell like hospital. No wi-fi in the rooms, only at the reception and at the bar.
Review 12:The hotel is right on the beach. Its garden is very well maintained and rooms are clean. The staff is very helpful. There are many events in the evening. Prices in the bar are ok.
Review 13:Very thin walls between the rooms. Lot of children . Bring earplugs .
Review 14:-Excellent location near the beach- Friendly staff if you speak some French . Transport from the AirPort worked well. Clean room. Rooms in the reception building with garden view to recommend (more quiet). Breakfast buffet was very good.
Review 15:Had a triple room booked only two beds made up. Only buffet available for evening meal.
Review 16:Convenient to the airport had an early morning flight. Plenty of restaurants close by so don't have to have buffet Staff on check in friendly and helpful.
Review 17:Great food, everyday something different. The hotel had a big area eg. pool, bar, stage. There was something every night such as dances, games etc. Right by the beach which was great.
Review 18:At times it felt as if we were in a kids summer camp, as there were multiple groups of children with their own agenda and program, which interfered with people who were there just to rest and do their thing. Staff were young and energetic and tried hard. However, the evening entertainment felt it could be a little better/diverse. Do something about Internet!!! It is pathetic that one has to sit in a public area to get a signal. I am often working when on holidays, and it is important for me to have Internet available. At one point I couldn't even login into WiFi as it had max number of users logged in. Not acceptable.
Review 19:We had a renovated room with soundproof windows and an aircon. Room was cleaned daily, change of towells, each 3 days a change of linen. The room was fresh and quiet, inspite of 2 weekly disco nights across the road. We could sleep with no problem. Food was great! Good variety and excellent French quality. Chef did an excellent job. Included wine was extra bonus. The pool was a big plus, especially on days when wind was too strong to stay at the beach. The complex is very green and is well kept. Staff are friendly and mean well. Excellent concert of a local band one evening. I'd certainly recommend this place but but only as a 3,5* facility.

Review 31:We arrived late at night by ferry from Nice and we followed the roadthat the hotel is on. However it said that the hotel was about 6km fromAjaccio. We went as far as 10km and could not find it. We went back intothe city to try and find a 'local' that could advise us as towhere the hotel was. The man told us we had been on the right road butdid not know the hotel. We went back again and after 15km found arestaurant that was still open (near midnight) and he knew the hotel andit was still a further kilometre to go. Eventually we found it, whichwas difficult in the blackness of the night, with virtually no decentsignage to let you know that the hotel was there. The following day, wedid an accurate distance check back into Ajaccio and it was 16km. Thisshould be noted on the Booking.com website.
Review 32:It was a busy hotel but it was away from the 'maddening crowd'of Ajaccio.
Review 33:there are a club and bar next to the hotel that make a lot of noise so if are not big fun of dancing and you want to sleep early it very difficlult to do that there are no air condition and you cant open the windows becausse of the noise there is no fridge in the hotel so you cant bring your drink or somthing to eat
Review 34:the location was good its close to the beach anf the swimming pool the room was not that bad
Review 35:Many night clubs arround, noisy in the night, although not all the time. We need to stay with the doors shut but still we heard the music.
Review 36:Location is excelent, the place nice, restaurant very good., with a varied menu, expecially the dinner. Very close to the beasch,easy to get to Ajaccio.
Review 37:There were no air conditioning, no fridge, no tea/coffee facilitiesin the room. There were not enough sunbeds and parasols at the beach.Thestaff was young, unkind and unskilled, almost nobody spoke English.Excursions were in French, it was difficult to understand what time wehad to return back to our bus or ferry from city tour. There were nodeffinite time of room cleaning, it was difficult to plan the day,especially to relax in the afternoon, we were several times woken up bythe room maid for cleaning. There were no change of bed sheets during 9nights of our staying.
Review 38:Location is great. The hotel has their own sunbeds and parasols. Dinnerwas delicious, free red or rose wine. Bus stop, shops, supermarkets,cafes, restaurants and small port are at the walking distance.
Review 39:-No air-condition... got very humid in the room - A lot of Antz in the room... had to change and then it got better. - Lot of family´s ... if you want a calm and quiet hotel with peace by the pool... choose another one
Review 40:-Good location -Nice buffé both for breakfast and in the evening -Nice pool and close to the beach
Review 41:Sadly you cant eat at all in the rooms because the second you do antsarrive and never leave. It's quite noisy at night until midnight andmy room didn't have air con so the combination made it tricky tosleep but it wouldn't stop me from going back.
Review 42:Loved the beach/pool. Water was so warm you walk in no problem butit was still refreshing. Great service with air port transfers. Cleanersclean very thoroughly each day. They seemed to have loads of familyfriendly activities. Also had a tour booth and a masseuse
Review 43:2 nightclubs surround the hotel complex, which, depending on which room you get, can make it very difficult to impossible to sleep at night. The music lasts until 6am. The first night we stayed in a room in which we could hear the vibrations of the bass from the nightclub across the street. Until 6 in the morning. We were lucky enough to relocate to a different area, and it was quieter, although..... ...there is also a bar in the hotel complex which plays music until midnight every night! So it was still difficult to sleep early. The rooms are a little stuffy and the curtains smell like must. No fridge in the room.
Review 44:Good breakfast, great location next to the beach and there were lawnchairs and umbrellas provided for the clients of the hotel on the beach, which is a big Plus! Within walking distance to good restaurants. Good ambiance as there were plenty of activities and animations every day.
Review 45:No air-con, wi-fi or fridge at the rooms. Staff speaks poor or no english. No typical lunchbar at the hotel. Rooms look very old, the balconys had no privacy, and its possible for the neighbours to view directly into your room from their balcony.
Review 46:Located at the beach. Free sunbeds at the beach and by the pool. Both hotel and gardens look very nice. OK breakfeast.
Review 47:We were kept awake one night by a neighbouring disco. The room was a bit basic, but everything worked well. A limited amount of English was spoken, but we did seem to be the only English guests.
Review 48:The staff were very friendly courteous and helpful. The meals were excellent. Clean sheets and towels. Comfortable beds. Excellent swimming pool. Close to beach, easy access, sea swimming.
Review 49:More like a beach club or holiday camp than a hotel. We were required to wear wrist bands throughout our stay! Rooms v basic for the price..

Review 54:Nothing
Review 55:Everything was perfect, except the weather.
