Wonderful experience at Maroma. The facilitiy was beautiful, from the main lobby, to the rooms, to the landscaping. Staff were so friendly and helpful, going above and beyond, many of them knowing us by name towards the end of our time there. A few I would like to shout out in particular are Alexis and Carlos (waiters at oceana), Margarita (hostess at oceana), Omar (kayak tour guide), Franco (pool concierge), and Marcelo (primary concierge building 16). Food and drinks were great, so was our spa experience. Le Labo toiletries in our room was an unexpected perk. The main pool is great, not too loud. Unfortunately, we did not spend much time at the beach, due to there being large amounts of sargassum. That said, the staff was constantly working to clean it up and doing all they could to try and make it nice. Read less

I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about this resort! While the property itself is beautiful and the food is consistently delicious, what truly keeps us coming back is the incredible staff. They treat us like family and make every single day feel extra special. A heartfelt thank you to Roger, our concierge, who checked in with us daily and made sure anything we needed was promptly taken care of. On his days off, Bramdon, our longtime favorite pool attendant turned fantastic concierge, continued that same level of exceptional care! At the Barefoot Grill, Ruben is truly the BEST! Every day we enjoyed fantastic lunches and even afternoon snacks! Thank you for always going above and beyond!! Juan Mora also took wonderful care of us during the Tuna Lunch, at Oceana, and at the Rock Lobster Dinner, so delicious and thank you!! I also have to recognize my favorite staff in the Lobby Bar, Carmen during the day and Jessica at night. You both have been wonderful to us since our first visit to Maroma! You make every visit a joy!! Poolside service was outstanding as well, we were never without a drink (or water!) thanks to Alberto and Balbina, who took such great care of us. At breakfast, Alejandro was always happy to see us and made even breakfast lots of fun!! Evenings were just as memorable, with amazing dinners each night. One of my favorites is always Himitsu, where Jesus prepared absolutely delicious sushi. Thank you, Rodrigo, for checking in with us throughout the week. Our meals were delicious!! And finally, it’s always a pleasure working with Janet, the wine & tequila concierge, such a great addition to the experience! We are already looking forward to our next visit! Read less
