"Mar Y Oro exceeded our expectations. The location was exceptional -the beach was pristine-with good snorkeling right there.at low tide it was best. The beach is huge, your stay includes beach lounge chairs and and umbrellas. The room (queen room with patio view) was bigger than expected with a smart TV. The walls in the bathroom (and some outside walls) were covered with shells-(plastic I assume) which very unique. A few were missing here and there, but no big deal. The breakfast was delicious and the dinners here and the so were the dinners-especially the seafood pasta which had as much seafood as it did pasta. The staff were helpful and helped us arrange a boat ride. A pick up and drop off to and from the ferry is included also. iWe would definitely stay there again should we return and highly recommend Mar Y Oro!"

"We largely enjoyed our stay. That said, echoing some of the other feedback, the property could benefit from a bit more repair and general upkeep.Sra. Carmen took very good care of us and was warm and attentive. At times, however, it seemed she was being pulled in many directions, which occasionally made it difficult for guests to fully maximize their time and experience."

"Clean room, daily room cleaning, filtered water. Mattress too soft. Location very quiet but a bit of a walk from beaches and town center. Kitchen that they didn't want you to use. Nice fruit salad but a somewhat basic breakfast. Beach chairs available for use. "

"There was new staff that were not up to the task for room keeping. We've contacted Cindy, the manager and she was responsive and made sure our stay was comfortable "

"Great house, great island, super friendly people, and the person helping us with the apartment while there, Robert, was super friendly and very helpful. He helped us with everything, the transportation to/from the airport, the golf carts, the fishing trips, the beach equipment. Was super attentive. Overall great apartment, very spacious, functional and clean. Thank you!"

"Robert took care of us right from the arrival at the beach until and took us in before check in time; to the the departure time. Great personal touch."
