Client comments and reviews

Maroma was a real highlight, the room and the service were both exquisite. Breakfast on the patio overlooking the sea was perfect and the spa was out of this world. I cannot wait to go back! - OF (July 2014)

Maroma was super, we had a lovely room and really just relaxed and read. - RS (November 2006)
