Marboka Hotel & Suites

Loved the location of this hotel. It's on the most gorgeous beach with perfectly clear warm water, protected by rocks so not too big of waves. Lovely restaurant on the beach which has an incredible menu and for very reasonable rates. The hotel staff at Markakoba are very friendly and personable. The rooms are large and spacious and it is LOVELY to hear the sound of the waves from your bedroom where the windows open.

I liked the simplicity. The Mexican feel and style. The staff are devoted to your comfort and enjoyment. Top them well, they deserve everything. Carlos at the front desk is exceptional. The man bring you towels, drinks and beach chairs is a gem. Remember to bring LOTS of pesos for the TAXIS. No one is taking credit cards anymore. They refused to take your credit card. They will only take cash. Uber is 1/2 the price and is paid by credit card. Pesos for tip. They may take 10-15 minutes but worth it. FYI- Uber won’t pick you up from the botanical gardens. The front desk will book excursions for you and taxis. Our rooms were cleaned every day and we left a tip on the fridge for them every day There is filtered water on every floor, which is super convenient The hotel itself is like a boutique hotel, and open air to the spectacular view I’m not sure if every room has a view but I think they do It has a very nice balcony and the price range dictates how large your balcony is. Ours was the least expensive and it was perfect. It had a fridge, a cooktop, fresh towels and cleaning every day good size room with two queen beds. The restaurant la Playita excellent it’s an open air restaurant in the hotel that looks out over the entire bay where you can watch Wales and the boats go by the Diverse harvesting oysters and all the different birds it’s really spectacular. The food is absolutely wonderful and the menu is excellent as well We realize four days into our trip that you can walk down to Zona Romantica I think it’s 1.5 km and about a 15 maybe 20 minute walk the bus stop is right out front 10 pesos and about five minutes into town Enjoy We will definitely be back

Breakfast and dinners were very good. Location is great. Wonderful view of the ocean from the lovely balconies. Easy to catch a cab into the old town for a visit or dinner but we still felt somewhat secluded from the busy downtown.

The location was nice as it was away from the center and quiet, like we wanted, but a really close Uber ride to town. we also walked along the beach a few times to get to town which wasn’t too far. The view was nice and the beach beautiful. A/C worked very well.

A pleasant surprise, very clean, recently renovated, studio style hotel with direct private beach access. If you want yo keep it simple and deal directly with the gorgeous ocean, yes yes yes. If your looking for amenities, not here. It’s very isolated in its feel so this is for beachside silence. Essentially it’s a no frills Mar Lindo, though there’s access to their beach restaurant. There’s no better place for beach access at this price. Night is breathtaking.
