The best mixologist in town!
Esther R on Jul 05, 2025
I had the pleasure of meeting an exceptional mixologist, Jose Guadalupe Zuniga Peña, at the Brunello Bar at Marival Luxury District Resort. Jose is not only a master of his craft but also a genuinely warm and engaging person. He’s an incredible listener, always attentive and present, making each guest feel valued. His talent for conversation creates a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, and his cheerful spirit is infectious. Whether crafting a custom cocktail or simply chatting, his service goes above and beyond. Jose made every visit to Brunello a memorable one—truly a highlight of the resort experience. Cheers to great hospitality!
Book it!

Second time at the Marival Distinct and just as wonderful as the first time. Miguel Dueñas, who was very accommodating, checked us in and offered an upgrade from partial to full ocean view with a butler and so happy we took his offer. The views were so relaxing and Hector Barroeta our butler was the perfect combination of helpful and discreet. Food and service were amazing. Especially liked that there were no wasteful buffets. The rooms were so spacious, clean and comfortable. Marival Distinct did not disappoint.
Incredible!!!

We've been coming here for 7 years and are "Platinum" members. We've always had a reason to come back as the staff is amazing. Mario takes care of us on the beach and makes us feel at home. He is literally the best. The properties are well taken care of and more beautiful every year. Now for the gimmick that makes this possibly our last year coming. We've paid for our membership which only leaves flight and all inclusive fees as the out of pocket expenses every year. The all inclusive fees have almost tripled since our last trip and have made coming here more expensive than booking through Costco travel or any other travel agent. I'm hoping they see how empty the resort was this season and do something about it. This has been my family's favorite destination for so long. Such a shame they went this route.
Awesome hidden gem.

The service was great and Lamberto was the BEST server out by the pool. He would bring us drinks before we even asked and he was super friendly with the kids! Also Emmanuel and Daniel were the best duo in the restaurant serving us great every night!!! This was the best trip ever.
