Had a great stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful views from the room, room was very spacious, and nice pool area. Only downside is the driveway is very steep and since it’s on the side of a hill, there are a lot of stairs to get down to the beach/town area.

The Marcela resort was an amazing destination in itself, with great food and beautiful surroundings, and a great pool area. It was relatively easy for two able-bodied people to walk to the Romantica Zone and back, as long as you are ok with a little exercise. The staff was exceptional, especially Oscar! I hope we are lucky enough to come back again!

The location was great for anyone willing to walk uphill a little bit--easily walkable to all the restaurants and the beach, but just up the hill, so it's more peaceful and quiet. Facilities were great and very spacious, with the only negative being 1 of our 3 bathrooms didn't have shower curtains. The staff was super helpful and nearly always accessible via Whatsapp!

Doug

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
My wife and I prepaid for an 8 night stay at Marcela and left after 2 nights to move to a different hotel and different part of town. Positives: friendly staff, large room more like an apartment than a hotel room, outstanding views of the city (we booked the top floor suite), reasonable kitchen. Negatives: Way too many steps to get down to the beach and food shopping, you must be in very good shape and willing to climb - we found it too inconvenient as I had a sore back, laundry worked but made loud noises and sounded like it was on its last legs, shower drain did not clear so water was a few inches deep by end of shower, communication with staff only through WhatsApp not ideal, noisy environment around the hotel while we were there, hotel pool excessively crowded. Overall nice large room and a great view, but because of location and lack of amenities we decided to go somewhere else

Ok not great. Pictures better than reality.

The hotel is ok. We actually came on this trip to see if we wanted to stay here for Thanksgiving and are choosing another property instead. It is just not very polished, the pictures are definitely better than the reality. There were some noise issues as well as the rooms are all connecting rooms and the space underneath the door is quite a large gap as well as the doors being thin. One night the noise from a neighbor property was like a night club from about 3am to 5am. There was also an issue with the keys one day and they texted us - which was great but we had to leave dinner and uber back to the hotel because otherwise there would be no attendant on property and no way for us to get the new keys. Luckily our dinner wasn’t too far away. I wouldn’t say that we would refuse to stay here again but just think there are better options.
