The staff were very helpful and kind. The room was very spacious, and the balcony was an added bonus! Being from the U.S., I was surprised to learn that there is a fee per person per day for the pool and a separate fee for the beach too! But overall, a great stay!

Lovely property in a beauty location overlooking the sea. Kind and helpful staff. Big clean rooms. Comfy bed. My ONLY request/recommendation would be to have some small diabetic non-sugar option available for breakfast - cheese, ham, egg - anything non-sugary. Otherwise, a perfect stay!

Hotel Mara Ortona
Hotel very nice, rooms very clean and modern with electic shutters on the patio doors to the balcony. We were on the 5 floor with inland view. Busy main line very close but seemed to stop running at night, so not a problem. We stayed for two nights only as we were traveling on by car to Sorrento. Was some what taken back that you had to wear swimming caps in either of the pools, so we didn’t bother. The beach was loverly and swimming in the sea was excellant, really warm during our late July stay. Sun beds and the pool incur an addition charge, for the length of the stay and you keep the same ones given to you by the life guard. Breakfast was good. Hotel location is a little isolated and would probably be best suited as an all inclusive family holiday. Lots of kids entertainment. Free WiFi was a little weak

With an ocean view room, this property is amazing
A little close to the railway line but if in a room facing the ocean, no noise issues. Great staff. A little expensive for what you get. Watch the added resort fee of Euro 40 each to use the pool & pricate beach facilities etc
