It's easily very good at half the 165 dollar a night rate. The "high season" made it more expensive but it still was almost deserted. Rooms were very clea but small and cheaply furnished. There is a nice pool waterfront restaurant and a bar to watch football. This is not happening or fancy but it is clean safe and overpriced... More

My husband and I always stay at Maria's when we're in Roadtown. It's a beautiful, simple hotel and we really appreciate the fact that it has a very local feel to it. And we love the food which is also very much according to local tastes and not pretentious. the rooms are very clean and we always make sure to... More

Marias is a short walk from the ferry dock and the main shopping street, saving you $$ on cabs. Clean, spacious, comfortable rooms all overlook the Sea. The food is very good, served in an outdoor dining room, a wonderful way to have breakfast in the mornings! Locals sit and play checkers in the lobby. Grab at drink at the... More

Maria and her staff always go the extra mile to make you feel at home and comfortable. It is very close to the Roadtown BVI ferry dock and a short walk to the main marina and the downtown. Coffee is there for your pleasure in the morning, and the rooms a very clean. I stay there annually for a boatshow... More

Maria’s by the Sea If you are headed to Tortola in the British VI and shopping for a hotel I highly recommend Maria’s By the Sea. It is not a typical tourist hotel but rather a hotel in the heart of Road Town just a short walk from the Ferry Dock and the Marina. When I am there I am... More

BVI is more limited than other islands with its selection of business hotels. If you want to go sailing, that's a different story. Maria's is within walking distance to most offices in town, it is right on the water and offers wi-fi in the rooms and lobby (although intermittent service). The hotel lobby and restaurant area are not great, hot... More

Maria's By The Sea is located in downtown Road Town right beside the main government complex and just 2 minutes walk to the ferry terminal. The view across the Drake Channel is priceless. The rooms are quite large & very clean. However the furniture is tired. The rooms are over-priced for what you get and there are few amenities, but... More

This was our second stay here and again I would recommend this hotel to people starting or ending a charter. It is close to shopping food and the sail charter bases. The room was clean and the A/C worked fine. Breakfast was good. The little bar served great drinks. Last time we stayed on the water side and would suggest... More

Maria's is clean and comfortable, but not much else. Spartan and basic with comfortable beds and AC that works, and slow and indifferent service. The view IS lovely, and serves as good inspiration for whatis out there. Good for Businesspersons or lawyers who have to attend Commercial Court nearby. Good for ferry travellers too. More

I stayed at Maria's by the Sea for two nights on a business trip to Tortola. This is a no frills, business hotel, quite unlike anything one may be accustomed to in North America. However, given that most of your day is likely to be spent away from the hotel, this should not be a problem. The main things required... More
