Everything is great in this place. The rooms, the location, the staff. The only thing I might say it can improve is the pool, it’s very small for the amount of people staying, I couldn’t even use it because it was full of people. Other than that it was quite a great experience

It was a beautiful property. Perfectly located and nicely decorated.

Amazing hotel. We LOVED the location. The design is just beautiful but what makes it the best hotel in the area is its staff. We truly appreciated all of them. Amazing pools. The rooftop one has an incredible view. We also strongly recommend the Sunday Drag Brunch which was so much fun. Food is also top notch. Thank you for a wonderful time. We will be back.

Beautiful hotel with a phenomenal view of both the city and the bay. The accommodations were outstanding, beautifully furnished, and luxurious. Delicious food served by the restaurant and staff that go out of their way to accommodate any requests. The pools were clean and a perfect temperature. Less than a 10-min easy walk into old, colonial PV. Can’t say enough good things about Marcela Resort & Spa. Hated leaving and look forward to our return.

Big comfortable beautiful room Amazing views and cool pool Staff was awesome

Quaint. Well appointed rooms. Good breakfast. Attentive staff.

Great breakfast and the views were amazing. The upstairs pool was exceptional

This hotel was exceptional at every turn and I can't wait to go back. For all of the people working there - from wait staff to musicians to the concierge, to front desk and even cleaning staff-everyone was friendly, competent, and warm. People did their jobs well, and went above and beyond. One morning they ran out of a cereal my son liked, and someone ran to get him more from next door. Waiters and waitresses learned your coffee order after a few days. Staff also had a great command of English, putting non-Spanish speaking guests at ease. The pool area is perfect; yes, a little crowded during spring break weeks, but large enough that groups could spread out. There were mostly families there, but some couples and older groups as well. Some older guests told me that they have been coming to this hotel for years - that says a lot! The grounds are beautiful! It feels like a botanic garden and the peacocks & iguanas are exciting to see. Beds are comfortable, and great value getting a full apartment. Views were stunning! The property is large enough that you can enjoy different activities, but not so big that you feel you are getting lost or in a tourist bubble, as with some all-inclusives. The hotel leans into its Mexican identity, which is wonderful! The programming/evening entertainment (including Mexican night) was fun and enough to give guests (including tweens and teens) fun things to do (karaoke, casino night, dance performances, cultural shows etc) where they might feel like they have some independence, but within the safety of the hotel grounds. The hotel is so close to the airport, the commute was a breeze. Getting an uber from the hotel to town (as a solo mom with 2 kids) was safe, inexpensive, and quick. The food was excellent and varied. Breakfast was delicious, and the beachside cafe was our favorite. Pool games, including volleyball, water aerobics, poolside ping pong and crafting, were fun and well-attended. We'll definitely be back!

This hotel was the best hosts, supporting us through everything when our flights were delayed!

This was by far the most beautiful resort that we have ever had the pleasure of staying at! The room was phenomenal with a view of the ocean, facilities were updated and clean, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was ENORMOUS with a gorgeous walk-in shower and I love that the toilet was separate in a small room with a door. The decor was very well put-together so the aesthetic overall was incredible.
