Room pleasant and clean. Grounds well kept, and pool clean and refreshing. Charming exterior with arches covered in bougainvillea. I would have only 2 suggestions- install a small chest of drawers in the rooms for longer stays, and a shade sail for mid-day over the pool. ##### Lesley Marie Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Robert 18 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Best Location for your visit to Taramindo.

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!

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 11 Mar 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 30 Nov 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 ### 8/10 Good #### John 14 Oct 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 ### 8/10 Good #### Kelly 18 Jan 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 #### Frank 12 Apr 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 16 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Was a great stay.
