Hôtel Marinca & Spa

Beautiful hotel with some of the best views ever. From the minute you walk in, you are overwhelmed by the panoramic views of the Corsican mountains and the view of the harbor. It is so nice to have a beautiful private beach. It is very well maintained and staffed. This place is not cheap by any means, but you get what you pay for. Would highly recommend.

Positive: the beach (although a lounger on the beach was 30 euro for half a day), boat service to Propriano Negatives: truly out-of-place, tacky and cheap decor throughout the hotel, complete with awful synthetic uniforms for staff. Unhelpful novice front desk staff. Unpleasant shower experience with low-flow rainforest head that sprayed large volumes of water throughout entire bathroom. Odd room layout with uncomfortable and cheap-feeling synthetic leather sofa. All furnishings felt low-quality. The Worst Negative: truly awful meal at beach restaurant with very undercooked sushi rice, very overcooked/tough lobster, and bland 180 euro fish (!!!!) that served 2 people. I would not recommend this expensive hotel staffed by uncomfortable-appearing poorly-trained staff with very expensive unappetizing food and a strangely furnished room. It was the opposite of a luxury experience. Next time will stay in a less splashy hotel with more warmth, authentic quality decor and better food

We had an amazingly relaxing break at the Marinca. The view and surroundings are beautiful, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the rooms very comfortable (apart from the open showers which make it hard to avoid drenching the bathroom!). The various pools are stunning and although it was high season, did not feel too crowded. The private beach was great for a cocktail late afternoon. The food at breakfast and dinner at the "Paillotte" was consistently good, and the tasting menu at the "Verriere" was delicious - all of them with a wonderful view of the sea. All in all, we had a wonderful time and could not fault it - we will gladly come again!

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel Marinca and Spa the first week in October. Our experience was wonderful. The location and setting are perfect for anyone visitng the southern part of Corsica. The hotel is beautifully designed, with all areas clean and well maintained. The private beach is beautiful as well, with secluded coves at either end. I want to particularly mention La Verriere restaurant, which was a highlight of our visit. Chef Romain Masset is clearly deserving of his reputation. The dishes presented and the care of the resturant staff were outstanding and memorable, with a creative and delicious tasting menu utilizing local ingredients in keeping with the best Michelin starred restaurants that we have enjoyed throughout Europe and the US. This restaurant should be more prominently listed to let anyone travelling to Corsica be more aware of what a gem this is. The staff at the hotel and spa were also top notch and accommodating to any of our needs and requests. For example, a noisy fan in the AC system in our room was fixed within less than an hour or two after we reported it to the front desk. The hotel is situated on a hillside, with stairways which may make getting to the beach difficult for some guests, but the upper areas are easily accessible and an elevator is available if needed to the upper pool deck. All in all, our experience at Hotel Marinca and Spa was just what we were hoping for and more. We highly recommend staying here, and especially recommend dining at the unforgettable La Verriere restaurant.

This is an extraordinary hotel. It is a family run five star resort and spa with its own private beach in the South of Corsica. Just an hour from the airport. And 10 minutes to the bustling Propriano by car or buy water taxi with the always helpful Chris. Arriving to the hotel, we were greeted by a team of professional and smiling valet parkers. All of them -Coco, Roman, Liam and Clemente were fun and made our arrival seamless. With no stress! It really is an incredibly nice way to arrive at your destination. The hotel is contemporary and elegant, with interesting touches from theFar East. Everything that we did whether it is the spa, or at reception every person that we met was friendly and professional and clearly invested in making our holiday a success. We both loved the beach restaurant. Heavenly way to take a break from swimming and sunning. To say a ‘beach restaurant’ is misleading - there were two top class sommelier-Victoire and Matteo at hand to advise and assist. We drank delicious organic Corsican wine. I am sure I have left somebody out and I’m sorry because I really wanted to say thank you to the entire hotel staff, we felt very looked after and very card for!

This place is so very special , it is probably one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff are attentive and friendly , they take time to get to know the guests and they are patient when you try to speak French ( they helped me learn also by saying words in French then repeating in English and allowing me to practice my response in French) The décoré is outstanding , the food is so good and they recommend other equally good places to eat off site. The hotel is by the prettiest beach in a gorgeous bay , if the beach is not your thing there several pools you can spend your whole holiday here visiting the spa beach and the pools . The gym is small but I had no need for this and there is a delicious herb garden used by the kitchen for meals. This place has a calming and magical feel and you can tell that a great deal of effort goes into every single detail. Even when things go a little awry ( such as reservation issues ) they fix things quickly and ensure the guests are duly looked after with minimal inconvenience. I would def return her again.

Beautiful quite property with direct access to private beach. Staff were great and very professional and helpful.
