Marina Del Mar Resort? More like Last Resort– BED BUGS, RUDE STAFF, AND OVERCHARGED!
If I could give zero stars, I would. Marina Del Mar Resort was the absolute worst part of our vacation. The place is extremely run-down and clearly neglected. We tried to salvage the evening by going to the bar. Only to be met with rude, dismissive bartenders who openly complained about the number of guests and refused to serve most people. We sat there for over an hour and were only able to get one drink. It was clear we weren’t welcome.
We gave the pool a try next, but it was poorly lit, had a weird vibe, and felt downright unsafe with some of the other guests. We eventually returned to our room, hoping to call it a night, but within 15 minutes, I started itching. I told my friend to get up immediately. We turned on the lights and discovered we were covered in bed bug bites.
We packed up and left the property by 10 p.m., ending up at a hotel in Homestead that was a quarter of the price and spotlessly clean. Honestly, it saved our last night. It was only 30 min away-we were up till 2 a.m. Washing our clothes and scrubbing our skin off to make sure we didn't bring bed bugs back.
To make matters worse, the property also overcharged me by $40, and when contacted, they flat out refused to refund it. No apology, no help.
Avoid this place at all costs. Unless you want to bring bedbugs back. If I'm able to attach pictures, I will upload the bites. It is absolutely unreal.
