Positive: The grout around the tile in the bathtub should be cleaned or redone, as well as the caulking in the bathroom. Outside of that the room was nice and clean. The nets were quite helpful as the balcony door was opened when we arrived and there were mosquitos in the room. The location was in the midst of vendors. Easy walk to the market, Restaurants (Lukman, Beach House and Emerson Spice), the beach and ferry.
Negative: The balcony door was open so the room had several mosquitos. The grout made me want to scrub the tub. The breakfast choices were a bit odd.
Summary: The location was great for excursions, AC worked and I slept well each night.

Positive: I have been to MaruMaru twice in different years. I was so happy to come back after many years. Khalfan at the front desk helped us check in earlier which was so helpful after a long trip. Mohammed at the restaurant is wonderful. The entertainment is excellent! I really enjoyed the views and the facilities. The price is a bit expensive but in reality the location is amazing. Thanks MaruMaru staff!
Summary: Will be coming back
