Pros:

No tuve la oportunidad de permanecer en el hospedaje
Porque se me quería otorgar una habitación sin los servicios de regadera y baño , porque eran compartidos .

Cons:

Que se especifique realmente y con claridad los servicios
Yo leí correctamente lo que había apartado y se me negó , la anfitriona quería darme otra habitación por mayor costo, decía que le pagara 1800 , y que ellos me regresaban el depósito , y no accedí , por esa razón cancele y perdí la mitad de mi reservación.

Pros:

The most-central location in Zipolite -- EVERYTHING is right outside of your window. You can to the beach, barefeet, in a minute. The host/staff are amazingly kind. The bed is luxurious. The room was very large, with a lovely balcony. The water in the shower has a good flow, and is never cold (even though there is no hot water, but believe me, you will never want to have hot water in Zipolite!).

Cons:

The central location comes with excessive noise on some nights. I used noise canceling headphones, which did the trick, and also, after a few nights, the noise actually didn't bother me. But if you are sensitive to noise, to avoid disappointment, I'd recommend booking a place away from the town center

Exclente ubicación, precio y calidad
Pros:

El personal súper amable y atento. Las habitaciones muy amplias, bien ventiladas. La ubicación es excelente en la calle principal de Zipolite y a una cuadra de la playa caminando.

Cons:

Creo que las almohadas pueden mejorar y el baño tener un poco más de luz.

Agradable lugar, ok para una noche, un poco caro.
Pros:

La ventana que da directo al adoquín, la decoración y el espacio en la habitación. Excelente trato de parte del personal.

Cons:

muuuy calurosa la habitación. Si bien tiene ventiladores, por el precio de la habitación, deberia tener aire acondicionado.

Pros:

We loved our stay at MareaViva! The location was very central and close to everything. The staff very nice and attentive. The fans were sufficient to keep us cool in the nigh and the spacious kingsize bed was a nice bonus. We saw some other people complaining about the night the birds in their reviews, but honestly we considered that part of the ambience and their funny squacks made us giggle if they happened to wake us up. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper or easily annoyed. Would definitely stay here again when we return!

Super nice and cosy
Pros:

Very well stuffed outside kitchen on your balcony, that was fantastic. Confi Beds and really nice owners. Big room with enough space.

Cons:

You need to know that there is no door to the bathroom.There are no thick curtains to darken the room. For us it was totally fine.

Nice place close to the beach.
Pros:

Killer location close to the beach and many restaurants. Pleasant staff, clean facilities. Mosquito nets around the bed were a great touch.

Cons:

There is a bar close by, but it wasn't as loud as I thought. Used ear plugs as I normally do and everything was fine.

If I could give Marea Viva 12 out of 10 I WOULD 🥹
Pros:

It is honestly the most magical, serene place starting from the minute you walk through those lovely green gates. The garden is like your own personal jungle with beautiful flowers, lots of little tables + chairs to have your coffee in the morning & the occasional iguana! Also, don’t miss Latta, the super chill cat who enjoys all the pets 🥹
I booked us the Superior Room & 10000% recommend; you won’t regret spending a little more to get the best room in the house - it is huge & cool for the most part, with lots of light, a beautiful balcony & a hammock to relax in. A mosquito net around the bed is super helpful & the light falling over the bed during the evening is beautiful.
The location is quite literally perfect & the interiors are gorgeous; also, every little thing you could think of is accounted for - towels/face towels/little soaps, SO clean, an extension lead (!), & of course the most useful little refrigerator in the room. Genuinely my dream room & I wish we could’ve stayed forever!!!
Last but not least (& most importantly); Elvia is the absolute BEST. From the minute we arrived, anything we needed she sorted for us, including when there was an issue with the wifi & shower. She would also regularly check if we needed anything extra but at the same time we felt like we had so much privacy to enjoy a tranquil stay. We could not have asked for more wonderful customer service & feel so lucky to have had such a wonderful time at Marea Viva - this is honestly due to her incredible work. THANK YOU ELVIA!!! We will be back 🩷

Cons:

NOTHING bad here at all, just some things to be aware of:
The WiFi in Zipolite generally is quite weak (including bars / hostels); if it isn’t 100% or goes off, it is not the fault of Marea - it’s everywhere.
There is a ceiling fan & a (great!) floor fan as a lot of places in Zipolite don’t have aircon. It can get a little warm during the night but on the most part it is very manageable!
It is technically a family home; there is no shared kitchen but Elvia is so wonderful if you need anything, including providing us hot water every morning for a little cup of tea 🥹
The noise from the street is loud but bring earplugs (proper silicone ones) & you’ll have a perfect night’s sleep!
This is Zipolite guys; switch off, relax & go with the flow… & book Marea Viva!
