“Loved the location, staff was kind. Room was great but could have minor improvements for major comfort.”
+We enjoyed the room and the proximity to the beach a lot! We were right in The middle of everything and that was amazing.
−We asked them 4 seperate times to clean our room and it wasn’t done. We stayed 2 nights and our room never got clean even though we saw the cleaning staff outside and talked to them. The positive is that the hotel made it right at the end. Also Unfortunately our bathroom door simply did not close and we didn’t like the lack of outlets.

“You worst hotel I have ever been to, don’t get close to it!”
+The locating is near the beach
−Everything else it is horrible Here is the email I wrote to them after my stay and their response: Dear Management of Marea Sol Hotel, I am writing to formally express my deep disappointment regarding our recent stay at Marea Sol Hotel on [29-30 sep] (Confirmation #[MS00365245005], booked under Etai Inbar). We booked this stay specifically to celebrate my fiancée’s 29th birthday during our road trip, but due to severe communication lapses, hidden fees, and intolerable room conditions, our experience was completely ruined. Several critical issues occurred before, during, and after our check-in: Unresponsive Customer Service: Prior to arrival, I reached out via message to verify the bed configuration shown in your listing. I received zero response prior to arrival; only when checking in did the front desk agent casually acknowledge that she was just then seeing my message. Lack of Fee Transparency at Check-In: The front desk agent asked if we required a parking spot, presenting it as standard check-in assistance rather than a paid amenity. Only upon signing the paperwork did I discover an undisclosed $25 charge added to our $148.88 room rate. This fee was never communicated in advanc

−Couldn’t hook up to WiFi and called front desk. She said “keep trying” and that is not an answer! It took at least 7 or 8 attempts for me to finally get on.
