Marea Sol Hotel

Marea Sol Hotel

8/10 Good
"Perfect location right across the street from beach. Walking distance to wharf, boardwalk, arcade, bowling, restaurants etc. definitely family friendly! Comfortable bed, fridge, bathroom good size! Wish they had microwave in king size bedroom. Cafe on site a plus! Pool was very small. Check-in staff was rude-seemed she was very overwhelmed; she said a few things that was uncalled for. There were a lot of people checking in at once and only one person at front desk. Given key card for a room that was still being cleaned by housekeeping. Would definitely stay again given the location and amenities."
