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!

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 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.

Fantastic stay
The Marala Hotel was a beautiful location, with a lovely pool and great service from very helpful staff members. The food was tasty and they had enough suitable vegetarian options. The rooms were comfortable, and clean. It is quite close to the main road, so you can hear some traffic especially large trucks, but it didn’t really affect our overall experience. Beautiful beach nearby as well for walks.
