What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Culinary Experiences

Every meal we had at Marival Distinct was absolutely fantastic! We especially loved the Omaggio restaurant where the breakfast was exquisite. Our server, Phillipi, remembered our drink orders each day and made our experience feel personalized. The dinner options were equally impressive; we thoroughly enjoyed the varied menu at the Sky Lounge. The quality of food surpassed our expectations, and the ambiance was perfect for family meals.

Fantastic Kids Club

My children had an absolute blast at the Kids Club! They were kept entertained with arts and crafts, games, and themed days. The staff, especially Maria and Jocelyn, made sure everyone felt special and included, which allowed my wife and I to enjoy some quiet time by the pool. It was great not worrying about the kids; they looked forward to every moment spent there!

Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

Our two-bedroom suite was incredibly spacious, with a fully equipped kitchen and a lovely living area. It felt more like a luxurious apartment than a hotel room. Daily housekeeping kept everything spotless, and room service was always prompt. The very nice private pool right outside our suite was the icing on the cake, making our stay even more wonderful!

Impressive Spa Experience

The spa at Marival Distinct was simply amazing. I indulged in several treatments that provided the utmost relaxation. The atmosphere was serene, and the therapists were highly skilled. I felt rejuvenated after every visit. The facilities were clean and tranquil, making it easy to unwind completely and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The hotel has a stunning open-air lobby and a beautiful pool area, making for an inviting atmosphere.
