Very nice resort despite aging facilities. Food is great especially at la carte restaurants. Italian restaurant Amalfi is exceptionnal at this price. Rooms need some renovations, air conditionning, patio screen, door handles etc but its still ok as long as you don't pay full price. One important thing missing is internet access in the rooms. Only one public access in... more

Our third time to Marival (last one was 3 years ago). We tipped bartenders regularly but still received small amounts of alcohol. If I go back here, will take my own bottle to add as it gets old standing in line a second time to add alcohol. They indicate they offer room service but I would guess it is only... more

Stayed at the Marival some time ago so this will be brief. This is a wonderful place for children as there are many activities. The food was okay. Our room smelled like mildew horribly and I am not that picky. Hence, why i sprayed it with perfume before I slept on the pillow and sucked it up. Kids loved the... more

It was our first time in Marival Resort and we had REALLY ENJOYED my stay there. It is just place for relaxation (The beach was clean and the food exelent). We visited all restaurants a la carta, but it is better to make the reservations before your arrival or after check in, especially if you want to visit mexican or... more

I will say that while we spent this vacation with a large group of people, of which several has serious problems with the resort, my boyfriend and I didnt encounter anything nearly as disasterous. (i'll only speak of our experience) I agree there was an overabundance of Mexicans visiting the resort, greatly outnumbering us. Didnt bother me much other than... more

We stayed at this resort 5 times, every November until this year. We decided to go foa change of scenery and have snow vacation in Colorado this Thanksgiving. Marival is a PERFECT resort for families with small children. Peaceful, spacious, with lots of activities for everybody. Kids' Club is good, food is good, and the specialty restaurants are extra value... more

I would like to say that the Marival was as pleasant as the first time I went in 2005. The entertainment has gotten better. I noticed Americans and Canadians working in the Resort. The food was good as our family are not picky eaters. We have never gotten sick. I have teenagers and small child and there are activities for... more

This was our 4th visit in less than three years, and LOVED it just as much. It is a perfect retreat for my sister and I, who are interested in doing nothing more than lying out in the sun from 9 am to 5 pm, and eating practically gourmet food. The pools are wonderful, as are the swimup bars. We... more

Just returned from a one week stay at the Marival. This was our second time at this particular resort, first time being three years ago and boy have things changed. Due to the economy in the U.S. and the threat of swine flu, U.S. tourism has declined and as a result, as we were told by some of the staff... more
