We were hestant to go here, because of mixed reviews. Well we were so happy that we stayed in at Maria Del Mar. Every morning we awoke to a breakfast of coffee, juice, toast, and a fresh sliced fruit plate. The pool and gardens were kept in excellent condition. All of the help in the hotel and the restaurant were... more

Two of my girlfriends and I just got back from a 6 day stay here and we had a fantastic time on the island. The location of the hotel is great, just steps from the beautiful "North" beach. It is only a short, safe walk to the downtown area, although we ended up renting a golf cart from the hotel... more

Beware, Do not give a deposit, or pay in full until you see the accommodations. Horrible...no closets, shower not working no keys to safe, AC was going out, cracks between windows and doors...bugs galore. We gave a deposit for two rooms. When we got there, they wanted us to pay in full for both rooms before we could see them.... more

My husband and I just spent six days and nights at Maria del Mar, though we had the 7th night paid for. The Hotel is situated at Playa Norte (North Beach) and is but a 50 yard walk to a great beach. As advertised, we were given a room with one double bed and one twin bed, both of which... more

The hotel is great located right next to the beach. But we were unwelcomed by the owner who seemt to be fed up of receiving guests. The first room we had was located in a nice flowered garden, but it was infested by mosquitos. It had an old air conditionning unit which was so loud that we couldnt sleep (same... more

The small but cozy rooms were nice,you roll out of your room right on the beach (where you actually get charged for shade from palmtrees!!!). The beds are great. There's a fridge and cable tv in every room and the rooms are clean! We didn't use the pool since it was small, shaded and we had the ocean right next... more

If you are high maintenence and looking for a luxurious vaction, do not go here. If you are an adventerous, independant, easy going traveler - this place is great! It right on the beach. We paid $75 per night in the Tower sections. The balcony was wonderful - however, there aren't really walls between your balcony and your neighbors, so... more

This hotel is truly a great example of a mexican hotel - complete with the staff. We stayed the last week of April and had a great time. We stayed in the Cabanas so the pool was right off our balcony. The room was clean and the staff was accommdating even though there is a bit of a language barrier.... more

My husband and I first stayed at Cabanas del Mar in February 2008. You cannot beat the location -- right on one of the most incredible beaches in the Caribbean. We experienced OK customer service in '08, but it was terrible just a few weeks ago in '09. People behind the desk acted upset when I asked for a spray... more
