The staff were wonderful! The restaurant served so many delicious choices and the chef was very accommodating to tweeting our needs. Full service bar. Gorgeous view of the ocean from the beautiful pool. We liked being away from Jace which is very lively. Our room was a bit tiredā€¦wobbly toilet, pin holes in the curtains, no safe for valuables. The floors outside our room, that led to the steps was extremely slipperyā€¦needs some treading to keep us safe from fallingā€¦this is a very humid environment!

**"Wonderful Stay at Marala Hotel!"** We had an incredible experience at Marala Hotel. The staff went above and beyond, especially Cruz and Scarlet, who made our stay unforgettable with their exceptional service. The rooms were spotless, the views were stunning, and the overall atmosphere was so relaxing. Highly recommend this place for a peaceful getaway in Costa Rica!

Very beautiful property. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Met the owner and he made great recommendations for sites to visit. This is a perfect location with a short drive to many sites without the crowds. We had monkeys visit our balcony the last morning! Amazing ending to a terrific stay! Highly recommend!!!

Since the hotel only has ten rooms and a couple of bungalows it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The staff knew our names and room number which made it a more personable experience. The view was amazing, the grounds were perfectly landscaped rooms were clean and the food was absolutely delicious. The price of the rooms and food were great. Oh and the location was right in the middle of two of the most popular watches in the area.

Beautiful hotel! We stayed in the suite and the views are amazing! Also the monkeys coming to visit on our balcony everyday was a plus. We met the owner, and he was so nice and hospitable. He offered us rides and the staff was so nice and helpful. The restaurant at the hotel was also the most delicious. The pool was beautiful with a great view. Everything here was amazing. I cant recommended enough.
