Crowne Plaza Maruma Hotel & Casino
A casino floor and pool, fifteen minutes from the airport
About this hotel
Crowne Plaza Maruma Hotel & Casino pairs a proper casino floor with the outdoor pool and fitness center a family actually needs during the day, an unusual combination on this Aguamania list built more for parents who want an evening option once the water park day is behind them. Free breakfast and free parking are both included, and the formal restaurant on-site handles dinner without a taxi ride, though nuevo restaurant buffett Q'Rico sits a three-minute walk away for a change of pace. At fifteen minutes from La Chinita International Airport, it's the shortest airport run of any hotel on this list, useful for tight connections around the trip, whether that's an early arrival straight into an Aguamania afternoon or a departure day that doesn't eat into the last morning's swim.

Our take
This suits a family or couple who wants an evening option beyond the hotel restaurant once the kids are asleep, plus the convenience of the shortest airport transfer on this list. Families uninterested in a casino floor will find the same daytime basics, pool, breakfast, parking, at other hotels here without paying for that extra.
- ✓Book the airport shuttle or a taxi in advance if your flight lands late; the fifteen-minute run is the shortest on this Aguamania list.
- ✓Try nuevo restaurant buffett Q'Rico for a dinner outside the hotel restaurant; it's a three-minute walk from the property.
- ✓Use the casino floor after the kids are settled for the night, rather than building an evening plan around it upfront.

Why guests love itThe casino floor wasn't why we booked, but it became the evening plan more nights than we expected once the kids were down after a full day at Aguamania. Breakfast being included meant no morning scramble, and the pool covered the days we needed a break from the water park's bigger crowds. Being fifteen minutes from the airport made both the arrival and the last-day departure noticeably less stressful than other stays we've done in Maracaibo.
