Staff and service was exceptional. I’ve stayed at 5 star properties from Monaco to Maui, and those properties were luxurious to the extreme, the service and staff at Marea were ‘above and beyond’. The villas are modern, each one has its individual pool, the kitchens are equipped for you to cook any type of dish, but we only made coffee, as the restaurant was a nice short walk from ours and again, both the food and service folks were absolutely fantastic and friendly as you’d hope for. The young lady managing it while we were there and her wait staff were super and accommodating. Even during a storm that popped up and knocked out electricity for a few hours, they kept our dinner reservation intact by using their outdoor ovens and grills!
But the entire time was restful and rejuvenating. The beach in this area is relatively secluded and it was so nice to take morning and evening walks without stumbling over others. They have a nice gym with a rooftop area for you ha stretching if that’s on your list of things to do. My partner is a Thai bodywork specialist and was particularly impressed with doing our stretches on that rooftop, with sounds from the ocean as a backdrop.
The property was developed by folks from Arizona with an emphasis on healthy, stress-reducing environment…and it shows, from the architectural design of the villas and property amenities.
If you want a restful, relaxing and pleasant vacation, go there. We are planning a return visit soon!
