Mark Warner Holidays Avis 403

Great location, 30 minutes from airport. 25 minute walk into local town . Rooms are larger than average and spread out throughout the grounds. Great swimming pools and surrounding deck area. All the sports and facilities are close to hand and the sea is shallow off of the beach. The only downside ( September 2025) is the bikes and bike kit are very tired and need replacing . At one point there were 20 mountain bikes out of action. If you want to Scuba Dive, InDepth are one of the best operators I have come across in 45 years of diving! Would definitely go back.

Fantastic support from all the Mark Warner team, who went out of their way to ensure we had a great time from start to finish. The activities were excellent. I really enjoyed the 2 morning walks and would love to have done more of these. Decor in rooms could do with a refresh but overall very clean, comfortable and spacious suite, with a lovely balcony and great views. The food was also of a really good standard.

The food was great, there was a really good variety of activities and entertainment on offer. Lovely pool, incredible views, good kids club with great facilities. We particularly enjoyed making use of the kids evening movie club so we could have a few peaceful dinners!

The facilities were comfortable and the food very good.

Excellent water sports and cycling teams.
Well organised sports sessions and informal coaching.
Some facilities showing their age but perfectly adequate.
Main downside was lack of water available for sports bottle filling.

Just spent 2 weeks at Paleros Beach resort. We have visited many MW resorts over the past 30+ years. We had never visited Paleros as we like sailing, and had always been told there is very little wind. We experienced good winds on some days. Enough for our level of sailing and certainly enough to get the RS catamarans moving.

With the addition of Padel & Pickleball to this resort, we decided to try this resort, and we're very glad we did! It is now our favourite of all the current resorts. Padel is particularly good, with 2 courts and a great social programme run by the Padel coach Phil, who was really very good! I'd go back for the Padel alone if Phil is running it. I did an Xpress tennis course in the 2nd week too which was well organised by Harry & Owen. Evan coached the classic course and he was also really personable. The whole rackets team were a credit to MW.

We also sailed, cycled & SUP'd, all of which were good.

Rooms were a better standard than some of the other resorts. We chose a family room for the 2 of us. The extra space was a godsend.

Breakfast & dinner were served buffet style in the main restaurant. The food was good quality and there were plenty of choices. The Greek restaurant & bar staff were nothing short of epic. So friendly and helpful; nothing was too much trouble. Alice (ops manager) was also very visible and always on hand to answer questions.

The local village was a 30 min walk and well worth it for a sunset drink or long lazy lunch. During the day you can sign out a bicycle and explore the local area. We also hired a boat with a skipper for the day from Dolphin Boats (outside Sirtaki restaurant in Paleros). Our lovely skipper Dimitrius, took us all around the islands from Skorpius to Meganisi and Kalamos, including lunch at Varga restaurant.

If I had one area for improvement, it would be relating to the Pickleball programme, or lack of it. Pickleball was very much an afterthought with no real tuition or socials, despite there being plenty of appetite for the game amongst guests the 2 weeks we were there.

In summary, this resort is great with plenty of activities, but equally plenty of places to simply sit by the pools and read a book, including an adult only pool. We will definitely be back :)

The Holiday Village was very well maintained and the accommodation, though dated, was very comfortable. The staff were delightful. There was always someone to ask if you needed help but they were also unobtrusive. For us, (over 70s), we could have done with a bit less noise from the disco and other evening events. The food was remarkably good given the price of the holiday. The beach and the view from the beach were beautiful. The food offering at the beach bar could be improved but the friendly staff struggled valiantly with what they had on offer.

Mark Warner are highly professional and organised. The hotel (Aeolean Beach -Lesvos) was delightful, very clean and all staff were very friendly & helpful. Been home 3 days and already booking for next year

There were a variety of activities on offer. The staff were generally helpful and knowledgable. The weather was great.
More intermediate windsurf instructors would be beneficial. The coach seat belts didn’t work and the driver was on his phone, which was disconcerting.
Overall, it was a very positive experience.

Flight and transfers really went well - I'd not heard of Enter Air but good leg room and efficient service, 4 staggered coaches so no big queues on transfers. Hotel and MW staff very helpful, friendly and the beach team were especially competent. Sailing equipment and support was of a very good standard just a pity only 2 Cats. Hotel food was of a very good standard, plenty of variety with lots of fresh fruit and veg. The hotel needs to invest in the sewage system as there are bad smells in some areas and in our room from the drains and the bathrooms are tired especially the showers (heads rather blocked and corroded). Some or the sun decks were broken and I had to ask the manager to take them away as they were dangerous. Overall we had a very good experience as the holiday worked really well for us and my two children aged 19 and 21 with like minded young people and a good night life for them in the local village.

There were 10 of us at Paleros during the last week of August - 2 grandparents, 5 adults, and 3 grandchildren (aged 6 years, 3 years and 6 months); the second visit for most of us. The temperature was usually around 30C+. Spacious, comfortable, clean and quiet accommodation with air conditioning. A good range of activities; one or more used by each of us apart from the baby (tennis, padel, pickle ball, sailing, kayaking, crazy sofa, keep fit, swimming -3 pools and sea, and cycling). Alternatively could just sit and read in the shade by the adults only pool. Equipment good although tennis rackets did not have vibration dampener unless requested and bikes suffered quite a lot of punctures. Spacious attractive grounds including children's playground. Childcare was excellent and appropriate for age. Food was delicious. The staff were brilliant from the top down or down up! The Lime photographers took lots of good quality photos. Short flight and transfer from airport to hotel. Small attractive town of Paleros - charming cafes and restaurant - about 30 minutes walk away along the coast.

We have been coming to Lemnos Village resort since 1996, just after mark warner started there. We love the place, the setting, the staff, the quiet, the island and its people.

Good facilities in the room although the finish was looking a little tired. The staff were excellent and the breakfast and dinner buffets plentiful and of high quality. The beach and water sports facilities were first class with great tuition. The children were very happy in the kids club and the evening film for them meant their parents could completely relax. Many boxes were ticked.

The holiday was excellent, staff to meet you at the airport, hotel was clean and tidy, food was great. Activities were fantastic with being able to do as much or as little as we wanted.
Negative- needed accompanying to the day boat trip, we were just left in the town car park with no idea where to go or where the boat was, then confusion getting on the boat as the owners insisted we should have tickets, when we did not as we booked at the hotel, all a difficult in another language.
Biggest gripe was the hidden main road between the hotel and the beach which is cleverly not in any photo or description of the hotel, this ment we couldn't let the kids leave the beach on their own, or come back ie from the toilet, and my hope of a beach bar near the beach is the evening didnt happen, as its right on the road. Our previous holiday to Corisca with Mark Warner 10 years ago had this and was great.
Was the holiday great , yes , Did Mark Warner have their usual high standards of customer service, yes , Do they look after you , yes . Will I go back to Paleris, no , the road and the not so fantastic beach ruined it for me I'm afraid

We had a simply fabulous time in Rhodes. It was hot, the wind blew and the food was great-not cordon bleu but fresh, tasty and no limits on helpings. As ever the plumbing was very “Greek”, the power and water stopped occasionally and the boats broke on a regular basis (not surprising when you see what they have to put up with) but it didn’t affect the overall experience. The cycling was the best set up of any MW we have been to-and we’ve been to them all. Most importantly our 3 children simply won’t countenance doing anything but MW next year. The only two things that need improvement are the completely non working WiFi in the rooms and the Adult pool actually being kept for Adult length swimming.

We have done lots of MW holidays and its a holiday format that just works for us. We booked late as we were unsure of our eldest sons availability to join us until only a few weeks before the trip. Booking was easy via website and a phone call; arrival in Greece was easy, the hotel arrival was rushed as we had welcome briefings within 15 minutes but otherwise the local staff, the MW staff couldnt have done more to explain what was available and when. Food was good, not top class but good quality and plenty of it. Would have liked more coffee options at breakfast though! Hotel room was nice, beach was great if a little steep to enter/leave the sea. Overall a great week.

First it is great that you have a number to ring which is answered almost immediately by a person! Booking is very simple especially if like us you have been before, all details are on line and all you have to do is update the ages of the children who you are taking. Our grandchildren had an even better time this time as they were afforded freedom and spent evening and lunch times with their friends.

Had a brilliant two week holiday in Greece, Paleros. Kids loved their gangs in kids club and we loved having time to relax and read a book by the pool. All the staff were great, friendly and helpful. We loved the entertainment in the evening too. All in all a great family holiday and we thought it was good value for money.

My only complaint is the rooms are a little tired. Our French windows were broken so they wouldn’t close properly. And the loungers by the pool are definitely on their last legs. It didn’t detract from our overall enjoyment but it would be great if the place could have a little refresh.

Returning to Kamari Beach so knew the lie of the land . There was unfortunately a rather nasty sewage smell coming from our bathroom which came and went but we did not let it ruin our week . We did report at the time . 2 teenagers kept well busy in their clubs during the week and friends made . Food on offer was of a decent quality and diversity. Regret didn’t cycle . Played tennis but padel seems to be the thing . Adult pool a big bonus . Mark Warner …’ does exactly what it says on the tin ‘ . Will return .

We spent a week at Phokaia Beech Resort and had a wonderful time. In our opinion this is definitely the best of the MW resorts and everything was perfect. Fantastic staff, delicious food….snd of course perfect weather. We had several spa treatments which were great. Will be back next year 😀
