**"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!

Very beautiful property. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Met the owner and he made great recommendations for sites to visit. This is a perfect location with a short drive to many sites without the crowds. We had monkeys visit our balcony the last morning! Amazing ending to a terrific stay! Highly recommend!!!

Since the hotel only has ten rooms and a couple of bungalows it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The staff knew our names and room number which made it a more personable experience. The view was amazing, the grounds were perfectly landscaped rooms were clean and the food was absolutely delicious. The price of the rooms and food were great. Oh and the location was right in the middle of two of the most popular watches in the area.

Beautiful hotel! We stayed in the suite and the views are amazing! Also the monkeys coming to visit on our balcony everyday was a plus. We met the owner, and he was so nice and hospitable. He offered us rides and the staff was so nice and helpful. The restaurant at the hotel was also the most delicious. The pool was beautiful with a great view. Everything here was amazing. I cant recommended enough.

Macaw's, monkeys, great service and a view.
We had an amazing stay. The staff was very friendly, including the owner Aamit, who is passionate about service. The pool bar was a fun place to start. The restaurant and food was terrific. If possible try to stay on Friday for the soulful band. The view was great and the rooms were peaceful. The beds were very comfortable. We saw Macaws from the balcony of our very large room, and monkeys every day at about 4 pm. Enjoy. We would definately go back.
