Beautiful place with a bohemian style, great food, great location, we were able to travel to Manuel Antonio and Jaco since the hotel is located pretty much in the middle of both. The staff were amazing, very helpful. I would stay here again ❤️

The hotel had a beautiful view and a good restaurant. Parking was good. The monkeys came to visit during check in. They were all over the place. And Tina, our host, was very nice and helpful.

A very cute, chic and modern boutique hotel. The hotel itself only has about 11-12 rooms and then they have a lodge a little further down the property. Nice infinity pool & free breakfast every morning was awesome with nice selections as well. You also get a welcome drink upon arrival!

The hotel was beautiful and the staff really friendly. Amazing breakfast too. The only thing is the road just in front of the hotel, there is traffic that we can ear everywhere in the hotel. Overall we had a wonderful stay there.

The infinity pool was really breathtaking with the ocean view in the background. It was a really relaxing atmosphere with great food options and drinks. The staff was super helpful and accommodating for any requests. The staff spoke both English and Spanish. We even loved the onsite cat!

We had a wonderful experience!

This hotel is a piece of paradise…the grounds are beautiful and pristine. The food and drinks, top notch, rooms clean and comfortable …but it’s the people who work there that make it even more special. Everyone there was polite, professional and absolutely helpful…one in particular was Tina. She made our stay absolutely wonderful…from booking tours, procuring taxi rides…something as simple as providing us extra towels…because of her we will absolutely return to Costa Rica and book The Marala Hotel.
