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!

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.

**"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!

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.
