Staff very helpful, knowledgeable about the area. Room pleasant and clean. Grounds well kept, and pool clean and refreshing. Charming exterior with arches covered in bougainvillea. I would have only 2 suggestions- install a small chest of drawers in the rooms for longer stays, and a shade sail for mid-day over the pool.

I was very pleased with everything about this hotel. All of the staff were so helpful, knowledgeable and available. The location was PERFECT. I especially enjoyed my very comfy bed and the beautifully maintained landscaping and common area by the pool. There was a bit of confusion on how transportation from the airport to the hotel had been arranged. Edwin was professional and patient with me explaining the process in detail and clearing up my confusion. Overall, this place was AMAZING! PURA VIDA!!!!!

Clean room. The pool area was lovely the photos don’t do it justice. Just steps from the beach and many restaurants. Also they had a small outdoor kitchen with pots and utensils you could use which I wish I had known about before hand as I would have brought more groceries. Our room had a fridge, microwave and coffee pot as well. Everything was clean and well taken care of. We loved it!

Location of this place was awesome. So close to everything, beach, restaurants, bars, etc. Gaby, one of the hosts was super helpful. We had some noise issues during the first night, as our room was very close to the major road. Upon bringing this to her attention, she arranged for us to move to another room the next day. Place was clean and the pool was an added bonus. Thanks Mar Ray team.

The premium room is not premium. Very noisy and could hear kids fighting next door. Ceiling fan was so noisy we could t use it. But it is in a good location if you want to be in the thick of things.

I loved the location of Hotel Mar Rey. It was close to everything. The estuary was a 15 minute walk and that was the furthest thing from me. The pool is clean, the shared outdoor kitchen is great, and the staff is very friendly. The hotel is older but they do a great job keeping it up. I would stay here again!
