Stayed with family · For friends and family

We picked Maru Maru because we were a large family group and they offered transportation to and from the airport for an additional fee. In addition, the hotel was very nice, had a very good breakfast buffet and a pool that the kids enjoyed. Was very clean and we felt very safe. Our flights were before breakfast was available and they kindly prepared breakfast to go for us, which was over and above what we expected. It is located in a walkable area of the city. If I return, I won't even bother to look at other properties.
