The room was very minimal, cold and lacking any ambience. No photos on the wall old chair in the corner and that is all there was to sit on. The chairs on the deck were dirty and uncomfortable. For the price a total disappointment. Only plus was location and the bed was comfortable. I would not recommend this for a Laguna Beach stay.

The Mara is such a gem. Ocean view from the balcony. Very relaxing. Had beach chairs and pastries in the lobby (might have been for the holiday) The staff was so kind and friendly.

The staff at the Mara were absolutely amazing. From the property manager Ruben and front desk reps Alfred, Eric, Adaili and the pup George. The floor staff were very helpful and nice. We had a very relaxing stay and enjoyed the personable conversations we had with everyone.

The staff were very personal and accommodating. Everyone from the front desk to the cleaning crew were so incredibly nice! My 78 year old father accidentally left his phone a block away at a coffee shop and one of the guys at the front ran to the shop to retrieve his phone so he wouldn't have to walk back. That was so thoughtful and appreciated. I definitely recommend this establishment.

My pet Vito was welcomed and that’s so important to us since we travel with him all the time. The staff was friendly. Rooms were roomie and clean. The pool and spa were well maintained. Clean towels were always available to us. We enjoyed the balcony and breeze that came in through back door. Agate beach was literally just across the street. So many wonderful restaurants and shops. We can’t wait to come back again!
