"I loved, loved this hotel and will return if possible! The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating! . The property is beautiful and as it appears on the website.. The front desk staff was very helpful. There is a wonderful coffee shop with modern atmosphere and great food. I had an issue with lack of hot water in the shower.

"Having never stayed in San Pancho before, we found everything about Marii Hotel to be serene! From a gracious check-in (and holding our bags due to arriving early) to immediate assistance when one in our party got sick, the friendliness found in this quaint 8 room spa-like experience made us truly relax! A salt-water pool, wonderful cafe, and detailed attention to eco-friendly, this visit provided peace and rest!"

"This is a small hostel on the Main Street of San Francisco (San Pancho). Great front desk staff, very helpful. Very clean and a beautiful communal space. Further from beach than most places but still easily walkable and a great location. Breakfast is fresh fruits and a nutty bread (delicious), tea, coffee and other juicy drinks. We had a room with private bathroom and air con. One negative: Window opens into hall, not outside and our window didn’t have a lock on it... Maybe others...
