Dec 16, 2024Miss this place
This was the most amazing resort in Puerta Plata, perfect in size, not a large resort. Staff was amazing all friendly. I was going here for about 8 years every Christmas and New Years when it was Be Live. Then last year they changed ownership and to its current name Marien Puerto Plata and it went downhill fast. The food went from an A+ to a D- the staff went from smiling all the time to looking like they didn't want to be there anymore. All the staff I met over the year said it just wasn't the same atmosphere. This is the first year we are going down the beach to Emotions and I'm sure it will be difficult because of all the great memories we had at Be live. My whole group is going to miss it as they all came with me over the years. I hope I hear good things about them in the future to bring me and my group back.

Great Vacation, we’ll be back!
We had an excellent vacation at the Marien. Our housekeeper, Orphelina was outstanding! Her skills and service were absolutely amazing and her attention to detail was out of this world. She deserves a day off! The food was good; all 3 a-la-carte restaurants were delicious, we couldn’t choose a favourite. The buffet was average, as expected but we never went hungry. There was always something for everyone. We also enjoyed the Snack Bar for lunch. Great burgers! All of the staff were great. We were always greeted with a smile. Our air conditioning unit leaked a bit in our room often causing a small puddle of water on the floor but that was minor. With the extreme outside temperatures and cool indoor temperatures, condensation was to be expected. The beach patrol and security guards were great and kept us feeling safe and kept the vendors from bothering the guests. The resort was very clean. The grounds crew and pool crew did an excellent job keeping things tidy. We had a great trip!

Great vacation
We had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Marien in Puerto Plata, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The customer service team deserves a standing ovation—every staff member went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. People working there that is what make a hotel special A special thank you to Javier, who helped to organize an unforgettable picnic right on the ocean—what an incredible experience! Captains Joel and Danny and the rest of the staff were always cheerful, friendly, and dedicated to making us feel welcome. The food was good, great variety of meals, and the entertainment team truly stood out. Wilian did a fantastic job selecting the perfect shows to keep us entertained every evening. Rikki and his dancers were amazing, and the magic show left me completely amazed! The hotel itself was very clean, and while it is a bit outdated, any issues were resolved promptly. I also had a wonderful time playing tennis with Junion (apologies if I misspelled his name)—he made the game so much fun! The only drawback was the beach, which could use more attention in terms of cleaning. Since it was the rainy season, there was more debris than usual. That said, everything else about the stay was absolutely fantastic.
