The room was spacious and clean, and the piña coladas were delicious. The hotel clearly had its glory days, and the charm is still there, but it could benefit from some updates. There are cracked walls and windows, a leaky sink pipe, and the banister on the balcony of Room 1 needs immediate repair—it poses a real safety concern. A fresh coat of paint and general maintenance would go a long way in restoring its former splendor. While the food was good, prices are on the high side compared to other great options on the island. For the price of the rooms, a complimentary bottle of water would be a thoughtful touch. That said, the location, views, and overall atmosphere made it worth the stay—with a little TLC, this place could truly shine again. ##### Tanya Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### jacques 7 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Nice view. Building oldening (floor in the "suite in plastic/syntetic and bad state) ,nice beach but unpractical (very exposed to winds and rough sea and huge stones breaking your eels...quality/price non convenient. Staff friendly at the bar , less for the others ##### jacques Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 7 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The property is simple and nice. You can't beat the location! Being right on the beach was fabulous. There were plenty of beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas available and staff were eager and happy to set them up for us. Breakfast was included (fruit, eggs/omelet, juice, coffee) at the restaurant onsite. We did lunch one day at the beach bar and dinner one night in the restaurant. The food was average/good and seemed to be typical prices for an island. The staff were friendly and helpful. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie 1 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We particularly liked Mar Y Oro as it is in the center of the island and belongs to one of the most beautiful beaches, Playa Cacique. The Bellavista Suite we booked has the only best sea view room in the hotel and a large circular terrace with classic-style railings. Viewed from the terrace, the vast blue sea, blue sky, silvery beach, and tropical scenery are simply a paradise on earth! The food at Mar Y Oro is considered to be the best on the island. We ate all our meals here, and we witnessed the fishermen bringing the fish caught from the sea to the hotel, so we ordered a garlic Mahi Mahi dish for dinner. Served with coconut milk rice, it is tender and delicious, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth. The service staff here are very warm and friendly, and some can speak English, so there is no language problem. The hotel's decoration design style is unique, as if you are in a mysterious movie world, everything is charming and beautiful. ##### Katie Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan 29 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a lovely time at Mar Y oro. The beaches, staff and food were all excellent we will definitely be back.

The staff was super friendly at this clean hotel. Food at the restaurant is solid, especially given the limited good options on the island. The hotel is a bit dated, mostly outside of the rooms. I would highly recommend this hotel as the beach is great, close to the airport/port and store (not that the island is big to begin with). ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### steven 2 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Hotel is uniquely on one of the most beautiful beaches on the island conveniently located by the ferry. ##### steven Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ezekiel 21 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Beautiful beach and great island! ##### Ezekiel Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven 16 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful view, clean, GREAT STAFF! ##### Steven Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vicky 30 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Perfect stay, the staff is very nice, hotel is confortable, beach is biutiful, water is clear.
