Marea Sol is in an amazing location! We parked in a safe location when we arrived and didn't get back into the car until it was time to leave. The rooftop views are stunning. Staff~ John & Leilani were friendly and helpful. Well definitely go back to Marea Sol.

The staff were polite and kind. The only thing I had a hard time with was that we paid for a room and then we had to pay for a daily parking fee on top of the hotel fee. I just think it is like double dipping. The parking is hard to get in and out of at the hotel. Park in the back parking lot it is much easier.

Rooms are really nice and cleaner than some of the more expensive hotels around and location is great. Pool is the size of a hot tub so if you want to swim, this is not the place. No Internet connection to the tv, so unable to connect to Netflix, etc.
