The Mara at Laguna Beavh has been beautifully remodeled. We had a great stay this week! We walked across the street to the beach and could easily catch the trolley for free to go downtown! The staff was amazing and the view from the rooftop was fabulous!

Had a plumbing issue and the sink stopped up so we needed to move to a different room, but it was very convenient on the same floor just down the hall. It’s a beautiful rooftop looking out over the ocean. Staff was very helpful.

Awesome corner room with its own balcony. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The only negative thing is that if you want to get onto internet for the TV channels i.e. Netflix such you need to have your own account information to sign into the apps, we didn't know about that so we weren't prepared for it.

This was hands down the most amazing stay we could have asked for during our last minute vacation. For this place to have only been open for 2 weeks from the time we checked in, it was smoothly operated and felt like a finely tuned instrument. The check-in process was seamless and we were able to park, pay for parking, and walk into our room in less than 10-15 minutes. We were greeted at the lobby by Ruben who is an amazing host that helped us navigate Laguna as if we were locals. With his advice we were able to enjoy the things around us that were only 3-10 minute-long walks away from our location. Everything was so conveniently placed around us and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Thank you Mara! Thank you Ruben! We hope to see you soon again!

A lot of trouble checking in. Told me room would be ready at a certain time but it took almost 2 more hours. Then they checked me into a dirty room. I came back. Waited a while longer. Then they said my room was ready, so we went up and the code don’t work. Waited more. Finally got in. The room was not impressive. Won’t be staying here again.

The staff went above and beyond in every way and that I appreciated. On the other hand, the shade didn't properly privacy, you could see straight into the room. The sink was cracked so water was everywhere and another sink leaked in the floor. The lamp i slept next to had cobwebs and the internet didn't work. I shared this with the managers and they never got back to me. Hopefully they were busy improving if not hope this review helps
