All of the staff were so helpful, knowledgeable and available. The location was PERFECT. I especially enjoyed my very comfy bed and the beautifully maintained landscaping and common area by the pool. There was a bit of confusion on how transportation from the airport to the hotel had been arranged. Edwin was professional and patient with me explaining the process in detail and clearing up my confusion. Overall, this place was AMAZING! PURA VIDA!!!!! ##### Tanja Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Kyle Dec 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The hotel is nice with a good location.

The pool area was lovely the photos don’t do it justice. Just steps from the beach and many restaurants. Also they had a small outdoor kitchen with pots and utensils you could use which I wish I had known about before hand as I would have brought more groceries. Our room had a fridge, microwave and coffee pot as well. Everything was clean and well taken care of. We loved it! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/da94788a-3f74-463d-982e-3ed8bb32ae39-1771170392502.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Angela Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris Dec 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was clean.

So close to everything, beach, restaurants, bars, etc. Gaby, one of the hosts was super helpful. We had some noise issues during the first night, as our room was very close to the major road. Upon bringing this to her attention, she arranged for us to move to another room the next day. Place was clean and the pool was an added bonus. Thanks Mar Ray team. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b0953786-8631-4aba-9b76-37e668fdda1a-1770078713163.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sayeed Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Norman Mar 11, 2026 The premium room is not premium. Very noisy and could hear kids fighting next door. Ceiling fan was so noisy we could t use it. But it is in a good location if you want to be in the thick of things. ##### Norman Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Pavel Nov 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A great little property with pool and parking. Little noisy at night because it is wedged between 2 roads. A lot of bars 🍸 and parties all around. ##### Pavel Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea Nov 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We especially felt safe, with friendly staff and felt like it was an oasis inside the city. Beautiful gardens and pool with a perfect location. Highly recommended. Cannot think of a single negative. ##### Andrea Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### John Oct 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### John Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank Apr 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The rooms were very clean and furnished nicely, having back door access to the pool area was great ##### Frank Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stanislaw Feb 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Was a great stay. Staff were awesome! ##### Stanislaw Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Kelly Jan 18, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities We picked this hotel do to the location, location was good and we were kind of in the middle of everything from the beach, shops, and nightlife. As others have stated the noise is pretty loud at night. Not so much the music from the clubs but from the noise of cars and motorcycles racing up and down to street on each side of the hotel. I do believe that if we visit again we would probably pay a little more and be beach front. This is a no frills hotel, very basic, no restaurant or bar. But it is clean and everyone there is very friendly and helpful. ##### Kelly Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victora Feb 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Perfect place to stay at, cute and comfortable cheap hotel, very friendly and helpfull staff and in the middle of everything ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9C60A5DD1EF55F8CCF87F66BB5F7D41E20C7685F1739247883370.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Victora Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Oxygen-Jungle-Villas.h6042557.Hotel-Information) > - [Arenal Waterfall Lodge Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-GreenLagoon-Arenal-Waterfall-Villas.h1823811.Hotel-Information) > - [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Los Héroes](https://www.expedia.ca/Arenal-Hotels-Hotel-Los-Heroes.h27665247.Hotel-Information) > - [Leyenda Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Carrillo-Hotels-Hotel-Leyenda.h8449845.Hotel-Information) > - [Azul Hotel & Retreat ](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Azul-Hotels-Azul-Ocean-Club-Hotel.h6776980.Hotel-Information) > - [Good Life Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Good-Life-Lodge.h31807555.Hotel-Information) > - [Sueno del Mar Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Sueno-Del-Mar-Beachfront-Bed-Breakfast.h40075604.Hotel-Information) > - [Zen Garden Tamarindo - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Zen-Garden-Tamarindo.h39165706.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > - [K-Rae's Irish Pub and Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-La-Vista-Montana-Resort.h36025832.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Samara Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Hotel-Samara-Beach.h1312337.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport ](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > - [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > - [Socialtel Nosara](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Selina-Nosara.h32620956.Hotel-Information) > - [Stunning house - your oasis in Samara, 3 minutes to beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Stunning-House-Your-Oasis-In-Samara.h39531946.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Luna Liberiana](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Luna-Liberiana.h109466879.Hotel-Information) > - [Thermomania](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Themomania.h105813865.Hotel-Information) > - [Sibu Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Rustic-Lodge.h10561215.Hotel-Information) > - [Clandestino Beach ](https://www.expedia.ca/Parrita-Hotels-Clandestino-Beach-Resort.h4770434.Hotel-Information) > - [Casa Nelly](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Casa-Nelly.h39137563.Hotel-Information) > - [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > - [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury Sky Penthouses 3-6BR Condo-Hotel at Oceano Jaco](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Sky-Penthouses-3BR3BTH-At-Oceano.h12093587.Hotel-Information) > - [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > - [Arenal Waterfall Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Green-Lagoon-Wellbeing-Resort.h6000473.Hotel-Information) > - [Cabinas Los Sueños Fortuna de Bagats](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Cabinas-Los-Suenos-Fortuna-De-Bagaces.h38435588.Hotel-Information) > - [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > - [HOSTEL MAKTUB](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Rita-Hotels-HOSTEL-MAKTUB.h103265968.Hotel-Information)
