  A fun hotel great pool area

  I absolutely loved staying here. The main lobby is beautiful and a nice place to sit and relax and play cards. The pool area is nice and spacious with a great sized pool....only thing missing is a swim up bar but it ia very close to the pool for refills. The Mexican restaurent is the best although i did enjoy the buffet especially the pasta and pizza stations. So close to the beach and we had a lovely ocean view room. The daily cocktail was fun to try and others if you wanted them. I didnt like the local gin though and we werent vip. I used the spa twice which were both lovely expieriences and worth the money. I did find some of the shop people a but pushy and really had far too high prices so make sure u really haggle and shop around. The staff were all so lovely .... special shoutout to Christian the grounds keeper, Miss Almonte in the Mexican and the gentleman she worked with. We had a gorgeous private beach dinner for my birthday and it was worth the money and had a private waiter. The rooms are a i bit basic and could do with an upgrade but they are comfy and clean and a nice size. We had 2 issues that were sorted out very quickly and we didnt have to chase them. A really great reasonably priced hotel close to Sosua and Puerto Plata.

  Trip to remember

  This is our second year in a row at the Marien resort. It’s a smaller resort, but the pool, beach, staff, food and entertainment make up for it. Special shout outs to Bonbon, Luis, Joan, Aneury and Alberto for making this another trip to remember. Highly recommend coming to this resort, you will not be disappointed.

  Excellent Stay Again!

  We stayed at the Marien from March 8-15th. There were 4 adults. The 4 of us had stayed here last year and enjoyed it so much that we returned. We met another couple this time that we met last year, that also returned again this year. It was a nice surprise to see them again. The resort is very clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms were fine and clean. Housekeeping staff were good and reliable. We took the VIP option again this year which we thoroughly enjoyed. The resort was quieter this year as it has a new management company as of January 1st. They stopped booking rooms from January 1st until just recently. We ate in all the a-la-carte restaurants and the buffet. We had no issues of sickness among any of us. Food was all good. The beachfront at the Marien was clean. Unfortunately, further down the beach (Off of the Marien property) there was sargassum mixed with garbage, which wasn't the most attractive. You could still walk along the beach and stay well clear of it. Workers were starting to clean it up at some of these affected areas. The best spot on the beach for cleanliness and wind was the Marien. The pool was spotless. A few of the buildings are under renovation. There was no excessive noise or disruption because of this. As we were waiting for the bus to pick us up from the resort to return home, a bartender recognized us as he was dropping someone off for work. He came over and thanked us for coming to stay with them in the Dominican, which was nice. Would definitely recommend this resort.
