The property is in a great location! It was as advertised & had everything we needed. Check in was a breeze. Parking was a little rough for us, but that's because we have a full size lifted truck so we couldn't take advantage of unloading in front of the resort, but we used our beach wagon & it worked out just fine. Stay Mareni communicated with us every morning to see if there was anything we needed & even offered fresh towels & trash take out. The resort amenities were definitely an added bonus. Sometimes the pool & lazy river was over flowing with kiddos, but still enjoyed them whenever we wanted. The boardwalk truly has just about anything you could want, all within walking distance. Restaurants, live music, gifts shops ( definitely recommend the gay dolphin, you will get lost in there..lol) amusement park rides, parks, & photo op spots galore. It has something for everyone. When your ready to kick back & relax, the resort offers some areas with comfy lounge chairs, beautiful greenery, & music from the tiki hut. The balcony during the day you can catch a song here & there, but overall it's pretty peaceful & the lights from the sky wheel don't bother you. It's a great little place to get away. I would definitely stay here again!
