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 Marala Hotel is a beautiful boutique hotel with incredible views, an amazing restaurant, fantastic bars, and two gorgeous swimming pools. The sunsets are something that you see in movies. The staff was so kind and went above and beyond to make our stay so special. There is a troop of Capuchin monkeys that would come through the property at least once a day to eat fruit from the trees. They were great entertainment. We got to visit a sister property for a day on the beach, called Marenaz Oceanfront Resort, which was lovely, with a nice pool, restaurant and bar. We would definately stay at the Marala again.

Was a good property. Only downside was the Wi-Fi on our tv stopped working and the water shut off for almost 12 hours while they fixed the issue.

**"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!
