Review by hotel critic
Staying at Mara was a unique experience during our jaunt along the Adriatic coast. The highlight? A sea view room complete with a spacious balcony, where I could unwind and take in the stunning sights. The outdoor patio offered plenty of relaxation spots, perfect for sunbathing or mingling over a cold beer - essential for any travel enthusiast. Housekeeping kept our room immaculate, while the front desk staff were always on hand with valuable assistance. I appreciated the wheelchair accessibility features, a nod to inclusive design. Breakfast could use a bit of a boost. While the dining staff were attentive, offering just pastries and cereals felt lacking; a bit of scrambled eggs or bacon could elevate the meal. This hotel strikes a reasonable balance between luxury and value, especially with amenities like a seasonal outdoor pool, restaurant, and beach access. It's an easy choice for a comfortable stay along the coast.
