Had a great stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful views from the room, room was very spacious, and nice pool area. Only downside is the driveway is very steep and since it’s on the side of a hill, there are a lot of stairs to get down to the beach/town area.

1 bedroom bay view

I had the 1 bedroom bay view unit. It was like staying in a nice AirBnb but inside a resort. Pros: The view was beautiful and the grounds were immaculately kept. The unit was very clean and had exactly what you would expect, nothing more and nothing less. It is up in the hills above the party areas of Zona Romantica, so the nights were pretty quiet and you could sleep with windows open. I didn't feel like there were many people there, so often, it felt like I had the resort to myself. Cons: Mostly the prices. The room charge is a little on the high end, but also drinks were pretty expensive. The spa services were incredibly high, so I did not use them. I think they're cheaper if you book direct with them. I had dinner at the restaurant once, and it was fine, but I had much higher-end meals with more imaginative cocktails off the resort at about the same price. To note: A very busy street crosses in front of the resort. To get down to ZR, you have to cross it. From there, you can walk along that busy street down the hill, which didn't feel super safe, or you can go down a very long corridor of steps. You could probably call an Uber, too. You're technically close to ZR, but the trek makes it feel like you're not all that close to the party. If you're there for the night life, you'll want to stay closer.

Lovely setting!

We had a wonderful stay at the Marcela Resort and Spa. Nobody in our group used the spa services but we loved everything about our suite. The layout was very functional and allowed us to have meals together as a family (8 people in total) and there were plenty of places where everyone could sit and relax either on our patio or at the pool. Having a dishwasher and laundry machines in the suite was so handy for a large group. Showers were a bit chillier than we're used to (hot water wasn't hot) but it just meant we didn't waste water! ;) The food at the Marcelita restaurant was exceptional and every staff member we interacted with were all very pleasant. Just be prepared to walk a lot of stairs! It was manageable for our group... however if anyone has mobility issues it would be impossible to get around unassisted. Overall, not the cheapest place you could find, but it was worth every penny for our family and exceeded expectations.
