Maria’s is a great place to stay! They provide free coffee, juice and toast/french toast daily. Buho’s is the beach bar connected to the hotel with direct access to the beach. You can rent golf carts right outside the hotel and there’s a fruit stand with fresh coconut/pineapple and massages on the beach! Always a great time!

Desayunamos en el restaurante BUHOS un par de días. Fue lo más bajo de estas vacaciones. El servicio al cliente es pésimo, especialmente el de la mánager de Buhos, que no tiene trato y siempre está de mal humor. Esto contagia a todos los meseros. Ella necesita mejorar su trato con los clientes.

The hotel is in an excellent location, right in front of Playa Norte, which made it very convenient to enjoy the beach. The property has beautiful gardens that create a relaxing atmosphere. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The only downside was that the rooms felt a bit outdated and could use some updating. Overall, it was a pleasant stay thanks to the great location and beautiful surroundings.

Breakfast tickets are silly-wrist band should suffice. Softer pillows needed. Check-in process could be more efficient-clerk made separate trips to the back to process credit card, then retrieve paperwork, then keys, then towels.
Guests next door were caring for the several stray cats by feeding them and bringing them inside their room at night. We had cat vomit on our patio table twice during our stay. Upon arrival we did not have hand towels or wash cloths available in our room. Insufficient lighting in rooms.

The staff was not great, the room was old and in need of refreshing. All of the electrical switches for lights and plugs were ancient. Yellowed, looked like someone smoked in it in the past. The tile floors had lots of chips in them. I really didn't like the transition from bathroom to bedroom. It was very tall like 8 inches from one floor to the other. It was treacherous at night. The cleaning staff was great.

We really enjoyed our 7 days at Maria's. This is one of the older properties near/on the beach, but privately owned and they take pride in it. The room was clean and everything worked as it should. Give the hot water a minute to reach the room and it will actually be too hot if not careful. We had a ground floor Cabana room near the pool and loved it! Nice outdoor private patio, good wifi and convenient for coming and going. The grounds are well kept by a gardener we saw almost every day. Room was cleaned almost every day, towels every second day and linens once during the middle of the stay. Seriously, who changes towels and linens daily at home? Plenty of filtered water offered in coolers in a little rotunda by the pool with a palstic pitcher and some glasses provided in our room which we then placed in the little fridge we had. Safe also worked well. If you wind your way to the beach side of the property there is a little gate to access the beach directly.

Room was dirty upon arrival. There was a plastic bag with something in it found under the bed. Rooms are very outdated and poor lighting. The hotel grounds are beautiful and well kept. The staff at the front check-in are not eager to help. We waited for a long time for anyone to come to the front reception desk. We found someone around the corner and they waved us away and proceeded to come to the front desk minutes later. You have to pay to use beach chairs..

Upon checking in, there was no one to greet us due to lobby renovations (which we were not warned about in advance and created a very hectic experience). On checking into the room, it had the strongest smell of mildew of any place we have ever stayed, and we could not stay for health reasons. We found other island accommodations, but the hotel declined to refund any money for the nights we didn't use. We were disappointed by our experience here.

The Cabanas are the best rooms to stay in, you are close to the pool, and not to far too the beach.

If you want to be on the beach, have great service and no worries then this is the place to stay. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are cold and you can go on your porch and look at the water and listen to the waves, while coconuts fall from the trees. We stay here every time we come to the island and are NEVER disappointed! The friendliest and most trust worthy staff, who goes out of their way to make feel at home.

When we arrived we checked in and were then informed that the hotel was closed for renovations. We were put in another hotel farther from town on the third floor with no elevator. (We had specifically booked ground floor accommodation as my husband and I have mobility issues.). This is terrible business practice. I feel we should be compensated in some way.

Our room was basic, but for the price and location it was great! The lady who cleaned our room was AMAZING, we did tip her everyday too so that could make difference. The “other staff” was dismissive and really didn’t care if we were there or not. Remodeling so pool is a no go but there is an optional pool down the road we never went ocean to nice and close.
Lots of restaurants and bars around the area and best of all walking distance to the amazing taco trucks! Highly recommend to try them they are all a little different but all very good. We normally stay at Ixchel and LOVE it but price wise couldn’t turn down a cheap quick trip. We rented chairs from the people right down the way for one day then were told about local place to rent the Tommy bahama chairs (that we never sat in always in the water). Had a massage daily by Anna and her team (down by ocean to the left) $50 a day! Love isla and taking morning ride on the golf kart around the island. I would definitely stay here again regardless of the staff caring or not.

A short stay in Isla

A very good place to stay for your trip to Isla! Very walkable distance from shipping and a lot of dining options. You can rent a golf cart directly from the front desk as well. The only thing to be mindful of is that they don’t have any beach chairs so you will have to pay to sit on the beach on average about $25USD a person which includes food (to a specific limit) then you pay the difference if there is one. But the chairs are right on the beach! The food on the beach is also very good and a lot of healthy options (not just burgers/pizza).

Good location, close to good food places, convenient stores, bars and of course the beach. Very accommodating, we arrived and our room was ready so they let us check in a little early. If you rent golf cart through the hotel it is very convenient and always have parking in front of hotel.

Perfect location on the beach, the pool area is amazing!! Basic budget hotel, clean and comfortable, the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because, the water pressure in the shower made it very hard to shower and wash my hair, there wasn't a blow dryer in the room as stated in the description, my husband went and asked if they had one I could use, but it only blew cold air, they give beach towels that you can trade in every other day, same goes for towels in the room.

There is nobody at the front desk, they are always in the back. You can actually hear them. You call them and they pretend they cant hear you. When they finally show up, they are extremely rude. They dont have wifi in all the buildings. They dont change towels unless you ask them. Good location, terrible servicr.

The property’s garden was beautiful and well-maintained, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The staff was very kind and helpful throughout our stay. While the rooms are a bit outdated, they were still comfortable and functional. The only downside was the towels, which had an odd smell—improving their cleanliness would definitely enhance the overall experience.

Short stay

You can’t beat the location, and the rooms are decent sized although a bit outdated. We didn’t realize we would be across the street from the main hotel when we booked, which made it difficult to get to the pool. It would have been nice if they had a foot cleaning station between the beach and room, as it became tough to keep sand out of the room.

Disappointing customer service experience

We stayed at Cabañas Maria del Mar, and the experience was disappointing — especially due to the terrible customer service. After spending two days at the beach, I kindly asked the front desk if we could get some fresh towels since ours had been heavily used. The receptionist told me, “That’s not my job, that’s the housekeeper’s responsibility.”

Even after I explained I understood that, and was simply asking for help as part of basic customer service, he flat out refused. No willingness to help, no effort to find a solution — just a cold “no.” I don't know his name but he was a local of the island

This shows a complete lack of empathy and customer care. Where is the hospitality?

Also, the nightly rate does not match the quality of the rooms. The pictures online are very misleading. The cabins look nothing like the ones advertised. The condition of the rooms is far below expectations and absolutely not worth the price.

I wouldn’t stay here again, and I don’t recommend it. They seriously need to improve — especially when it comes to how they treat guests.

Great location on Playa Norte. Traditional Mexican decor, older property. No wifi except near pool or lobby. Reception staff OK, not overly friendly. Did not offer beach towels, also even though they run the business of the chairs and umbrellas on the beach no discount offered for one week stay, so $450 pesos per day. Got my croc sandals that I forgot at the pool stolen. Continental breakfast OK and friendly staff

If you are looking for a clean place to crash after a day at the beach, with walkable bodegas and restaurants and street food, this place is for you. It’s very bare bones; the wifi sucks, the pool (while nestled into a beautiful, quiet, tropical garden) is warmer than a bath, and you’ll hear your neighbor. The shower pressure nearly scalped me, and all the linens are stained (most likely rust from the laundry). The staff was very nice, and they all spoke English better than my Spanish. They offer a free breakfast, which includes gas-station coffee, “juice,” and toast. But the beach is RIGHT THERE. Just walk outside and stumble right in. It checks all the boxes for a frugal, no-frill stay.
