The hotel is a bit older and needs a little updating but we had a great stay due mainly to excellent staff, particularly Heather but also Hayden and Adali. They made sure everything worked out well for us.

We had a wonderful stay at Mara. Our room was nicely decorated and clean with a very comfortable bed. The pool and rooftop patio had lots of nice outdoor furniture and the patio has a view of the ocean. The staff provided excellent customer service, very friendly and went above and beyond.

Had a plumbing issue and the sink stopped up so we needed to move to a different room, but it was very convenient on the same floor just down the hall. It’s a beautiful rooftop looking out over the ocean. Staff was very helpful.

Awesome corner room with its own balcony. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The only negative thing is that if you want to get onto internet for the TV channels i.e. Netflix such you need to have your own account information to sign into the apps, we didn't know about that so we weren't prepared for it.

This was hands down the most amazing stay we could have asked for during our last minute vacation. For this place to have only been open for 2 weeks from the time we checked in, it was smoothly operated and felt like a finely tuned instrument. The check-in process was seamless and we were able to park, pay for parking, and walk into our room in less than 10-15 minutes. We were greeted at the lobby by Ruben who is an amazing host that helped us navigate Laguna as if we were locals. With his advice we were able to enjoy the things around us that were only 3-10 minute-long walks away from our location. Everything was so conveniently placed around us and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Thank you Mara! Thank you Ruben! We hope to see you soon again!
