In short, this is not a good hotel to stay, it needs a full renovation, housekeeping should have towels for every room, rooms ...

Hotel Boutique Maree
People are very nice. Property it’s ok, I expected more bc all pictures they advertise, it’s a small hotel. Unfortunately the restaurant worked only in the morning for breakfast.
