My wife and I were guests in Bungalow Ii at the beginning of the month. We hit the perfect weather, co-guests, lack of bugs, name it. The pictures on the web site are true. The resort is on one of the "world's" best beaches let alone the Caribbean. The staff went out of their way to make guests feel comfortable.... More

This is a great place. We have been going here almost every year for some time now. It has one of the best beaches in the islands. Great accommodations, right on the beach. The restaurant is one of the best in the islands. Lots of water sports and side trips are available. Staff always friendly and it is nice to... More

This was my second year here. Previously, I'd been here for my friend's 40th birthday. This place couldn't be more relaxing. If you're looking for the polar opposite of Atlantis this is for you. I immediately fell into a pattern of: breakfast, beach, fruity drinks, sunset, dinner, scrabble, sleep and repeat. The quaint main house has a restaurant and bar.... More

This is the greatest place to visit. I have been all over the Carribbean and this is by far the best. Our Villa was great while the kids bunked in a condo next to us.The Resturant was excellent and service was outstanding.

When were planning a vacation in the Bahamas we wanted go to a somewhat isolated place that had beautiful beaches, but relatively few people, and where we didn't have to cook. Cape Santa Maria was the perfect place for us. We landed at the Stella Maris airport and Shervin (Smitty's Taxi) was waiting to take us to the Resort. When... More

Dear sbrownfnp, Greetings from Paradise! It was a pleasure meeting you and thank you for the great review. I understand your comments regarding the meal plan. I often recommend the Modified Meal Plan which includes breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is served until 11am and dinner starts at 6pm, so often only a light snack is needed for lunch. I also... More

Our vacation at Cape Santa Maria was perfect! The beach, the villas, the food, the staff were beyond our expectations! We even shared hugs with our favorite staff upon our departure. We will definitely return, hopefully for many years to come! Our thanks to the wonderful people we met!

In February I completed what I believe was my 10th trip to the Cape. I flew there with friends in my Cessna 340 twin. CSM is not Atlantis or anything like--not even a pool. On the other hand it is the closest a traveler can get to something approaching a Pacific Island resort. What this place is about is tranquility.... More

Dear JL 1278, Thank you for the kind review. The Cape is such a great place for private pilots and Stella Maris Airport has everything you need. It is a port of entry with Customs and Immigration right on site and has fuel readily available. Congratulations on your 10th trip! Have you signed up for our new Loyalty Club? If... More

When we arrived at the airport, I saw scruffy bushes and sand. To say the least, I was disappointed. After our taxi cab ride with Smithy's (Shervin is the BEST!!!)
