"Do not pull in the driveway to check in, it's extremely small and hard to maneuver you car. I almost got stuck trying to leave because the driveway is so narrow. I stayed at Marea Sol and had a wonderful time, just park in the lot around the corner. Location is great, directly across from Main Beach."
