We picked Maru Maru because we were a large family group and they offered transportation to and from the airport for an additional fee. In addition, the hotel was very nice, had a very good breakfast buffet and a pool that the kids enjoyed. Was very clean and we felt very safe. Our flights were before breakfast was available and they kindly prepared breakfast to go for us, which was over and above what we expected. It is located in a walkable area of the city. If I return, I won't even bother to look at other properties.

Our Air conditioner in room 5 was terrible. For room 2 there was no mosquito net for the roll away bed and my daughter was made fun of for being ‘scared’ of mosquitos. We stayed the 17-18 and 24-25 and our first stay was great. The second one, not as nice. We did feel the Christmas Cheer and that was great.

My second time staying at Maru Maru- overall it offers bang for buck with location and room size. There will be hiccups with slowness of staff- for example my laundry order was delayed but I had to call 3 times until I was finally told it was delayed. Junior level Wait staff and front desk reception need more training in international hospitality. For example a smile from a customer is often met with an expression of dread. Would I book again? Yes because I know what to expect and the rates are competitive for similar properties in the area. Bathroom size is very generous as well as windows in the room.

Lhôtel est bien placé dans la vieille ville, pas très loin de la mer et des attractions touristiques principales. La chambre était spacieuse, la literie confortable et le service impeccable. Malheureusement, elle donnait sur une cour intérieure très bruyante vers 6 H du matin lorsque les employés commençaient leur service..
