I spent an entire week with a friend and our 18 year old daughters at this beautiful all-inclusive. Since it was spring break and 95% full, we were not able to get a free upgrade- but I'm not sure we would have been any happier or more comfortable if we had. We loved the location and the layout of this unit, which was perfect for the 4 of us. Room service was good and the balcony a favorite spot for hanging out. The beach concierge and food/drink service were excellent. We spent almost every day enjoying a private cabana. Note-at least during the week we were there, the Marival Residences were mostly occupied by adult groups and families with children. The teenagers did use the shuttle service to go visit friends at the Marival Hotel & Suites, which had more people their age (and the club scene, more beach activities, etc). That being said, we were glad we chose to stay in this unit and enjoy the best of both worlds! The upgraded food and the amenities were worth it. We utilized every part of the resort from the pools and jacuzzi to the spa. Carrie was extremely responsive with questions and checked in on us frequently, both before and during our vacation. I would absolutely recommend this rental and would definitely consider going back in the future.

Everything was perfect! We loved our room, the pools were amazing and the beach setting was fantastic!! Viktor was our beach waiter and he was amazing!! He's a hard worker, smiles and seems to enjoy what he does. He is a huge asset to the property. In fact, everyone, that works at the resort, went above and beyond. Thank you, Carrie!! We hope to go back sometime soon.

From the moment we expressed interest in the property Carrie was the most phenomenal host. Quick to respond, very pleasant to interact with, and knowledgeable about the resort. The resort was beautiful, with great staff, excellent food and drinks, beautiful beach access and poolside lounging. We were even lucky enough to get a free upgrade to a villa for our family of 4! A definite must return, especially for the adults!
