We really enjoyed our quiet stay at Marala. It was very clean, the room and bathroom were large and the entirety of the front of the resort offered amazing views. The restaurant and bar offered great selections! ALL the staff, front desk, waiters/waitresses, kitchen, housekeeping and bar tenders were kind and courteous. We would stay again!

Staff was wonderful during our stay. We would stay there again. We were able to leave our luggage there after check out and pick up later after a tour which helped us out a lot. The food was delicious from the restaurant
