Hotel mit tollem Pool und Blick aufs Meer
Der Pool war ein Traum, das Personal sehr freundlich und darum bemüht, es den Gästen schön zu machen.
Das Essen im Restaurant ist sehr gut und es gibt viel Auswahl.

Muy buen lugar para pasar una noche. Solo cuidar el tema de aire acondicionado sería genial.
Muy linda la vista y la piscina con vista al mar
El aire acondicionado no tiene buen mantenimiento, no enfriaba bien.

For us, the best place to stay in Esterillos – beautiful, cozy, and highly recommended!
The Marala Hotel is situated slightly elevated above the main road, surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful vegetation. From the hotel, you can enjoy a lovely view of the nearby sea.

In our opinion, having a car is…

Absolute aanrader. Top boutique hotel!
Zeer aangenaam onthaal, vriendelijk en flexibel personeel. Kleinschalig wat verblijf ook persoonlijk maakt👌

Payment & property

Paid when you book, not at the desk.

Rates include the taxes and fees we can read.

The property may take a card at check-in for incidentals.

Please inform of your expected arrival time in advance. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details in your confirmation.

What we’d check for you here

How many rooms they will hold at once, for how long, and on what terms.
That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.

Questions about Marala Hotel

What time is check-in and check-out at Marala Hotel?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Marala Hotel allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Marala Hotel?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Marala Hotel have a pool?

Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.

Is breakfast included at Marala Hotel?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Does Marala Hotel have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Can I book a block of rooms at Marala Hotel?

The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.

Does Marala Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Marala Hotel?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
