Marea Sol Hotel

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The room and floors became increasingly dirty do to no housekeeping services during our stay from 11/11/25-11/13/25. The hotel allowed us to check-in 3hrs early! The lobby staff was non-existent until i texted the Manager (?), after which the front desk seemed to always be staffed. The coffee shop was excellent, as well as the location. Very quiet and comfortable. "
