Hotel Marina

Norte Grande


Near the Terminal Pesquero, this high-rise hotel feels like a peaceful retreat from the big-city bustle. Rooms are spacious and well equipped, and the best have balconies with waterfront views. There's a good restaurant here and a small beach just a short stroll from the hotel.
