I loved the location of Hotel Mar Rey. It was close to everything. The estuary was a 15 minute walk and that was the furthest thing from me. The pool is clean, the shared outdoor kitchen is great, and the staff is very friendly. The hotel is older but they do a great job keeping it up. I would stay here again!

Close to it all

Hotel Mar Ray was a neat little hotel with a great pool area and decent sized rooms very close to beach and all bars, restaurants and mini supermarkets. Enjoyed our stay although it is getting a little dated which we weren’t concerned about.
