Marea Boutique Hotel

We spend 8 wonderfull days there. Staff was very nice and helpful. I recommend all the food in restaurant because it was delicious! For me this facility met all expectations.

The staff was just amazingly nice.

I’d be lying.

It was such an incredible experience staying just a few steps away from the beach. When browsing places to stay, I didn't see anything else like it within the same price range. The staff were so warm and friendly (I'm not sure why some reviews say otherwise. Perhaps it's just a language barrier?) The hotel and staff were very accommodating in terms of our vegetarian diet and packing our meals for our late check-in and early check-out (We booked half-board). We received bottled water in our room everyday. The rooms were cleaned thoroughly daily. It's true that the hotel is in a quieter location but we really appreciated how peaceful it was there, especially considering the fact that we visited the island during the peak season. We were also pleasantly surprised that there is a small spa on the property and tours could be booked through the hotel or at the diving centre just next door. Everything was very convenient for us. Overall, the stay exceeded our expectations and we were sad to leave.

No complaints, but some suggestions would be to add a soap holder to the shower, a drying rack for swimwear and to include some more vegan/vegetarian options on the half-board menu. Note that there are sometimes water and power disruptions which, if I'm not mistaken, is a problem for the whole island, but I think the hotel has a back-up power supply so the power would kick back in within a few seconds. We were never really inconvenienced by it.

It was a gorgeous little place. Quiet, great staff and adored the house dog The little restaurant had beautiful pizzas

It was all positive

The Hotel is average with no facilities.

No much to do in the place.

Beautiful n clean. Perfect location

The bed very uncomfortable n hard.

Friendly staff. Owners always around, so you could talk to them. Probably the best food we ate at this restaurant during our stay comparing to all around the island. Location directly at the beach. Quiet place. Clean rooms. AC working in the room.

Nothing to do much around (but it might be perfect who want's just lay down on the beach and do nothing). Rooms could be renovated.

Everyone was super friendly.

It was all great.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool was beautiful and clean, the views were beautiful. The breakfast is good, but having the lack of variety makes it boring after 2 days. We can’t have the same breakfast everyday.

No fridge in the rooms and when you ask for ice, they sell a few cubes for KSH2000. That was ridiculous. Shower has no doors separating it from the toilet, the whole bathroom is always wet. It will get stuffy. Sometimes there was no water or it would go off while in the shower. Same as electricity, back up takes time to kick in. Also on the bill, an extra item was added and the gate guard wouldn’t let us leave for the airport regardless of explaining they added an item in error. We asked they call the manager and they didn’t, ended up paying for something we did not consume. Rather you pay everyday to avoid conflict.
