A hidden oasis

10.0

This is a boutique resort that is highly cared for, modern, clean and serviced by some of the best hospitality staff in the business. A huge shout out to Tina at the front desk, she went over and beyond for us and made our stay super enjoyable. Brian, the world’s best waiter also deserves a shout out. The food, atmosphere, drinks, rooms are just all 5 star. The Infiniti pool with gorgeous ocean and beach views is a huge plus. Highly recommend this resort.

Relaxing and comfortable hotel, pool and restaurant

10.0

Wonderful hotel and staff!! This hotel was recommended to us by the tour we were taking and was a great experience. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The pool area was a highlight and beautiful place to take in the sunset. Also great to have a good restaurant on site. Only drawback was the noise from the road, but everything else made up for that. Would go back for sure!!

5 Stars!!

10.0

5 Stars!! We stayed at Marala Hotel during our week in Costa Rica, and it truly became the perfect home base for our trip. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we felt taken care of from the moment we arrived. Tina was especially amazing — she helped arrange excursions for us after a couple of our original plans fell through, and it made such a difference in keeping our trip smooth and enjoyable. The food at the hotel is delicious, and the drinks were just as good. All of the bartenders are amazing!!! Our room was spotless, had great A/C, and was a comfortable retreat after long, active days. The views around the property were an added bonus — peaceful, beautiful, and exactly what we needed. Marala had the perfect balance of liveliness and quiet, giving us a relaxing atmosphere. We are truly grateful we had the chance to stay here and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

What a great place! The bed & pillow were comfortable and the room was very clean. ALL the staff were amazing. They were all very friendly & attentive. Bryan, Kate & Jackson all went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The view (especially the sunset) was stunning! The food was great, too. We saw monkeys hanging around the trees on the property. We are definitely coming back to stay again. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Superbly accommodating, great views and awesome food

10.0

Awesome experience, excellent attention to detail, the whole experience is so peaceful and personalized. The staff is great! Tina made us feel like more than guests, she made us feel like true friends. Then the serving staff is just so accommodating, Brayan, Jeff and the girl from the bar listened to my cocktail inventions and my bar stories. Would most definitely recommend even a quick visit to eat or an extended stay.
