We had a wonderful stay at the Marina. Our room felt brand new and was extremely clean. Large rooms and a full kitchen was great as we cooked nearly everyday. The cleaners were excellent at coming in and restoring the room to peak clean. Don’t miss the quiet beach just a few steps north of the property. We really enjoyed JPs bar and grill for excellent bar food and drinks.

The rooms are beautiful and the entire place is kept so clean! The view of the Marina is gorgeous! There are shops and restaurants steps away and the beach is less than a five minute walk. The rooftop pool, bar and gym facilities are very nice. Highly recommend staying here!

Can’t compliment this place enough. Amazing views, amazing staff. 5 stars all the way. Gustavo, Carlos & Morgan all helped to make our week long stay memorable. They helped arrange transportation, excursion bookings, and assisted with early morning arrival, storing our bags and getting us to the pool while our room was prepared for early check in. And Carlos even gave our daughter a pair of sloth stuffies on our way out on the last day. Area is pricey. But you get what you pay for. Thanks again, Marina Flamingo!
