Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
We booked at Cabanas in a Tower floor room and we loved the veranda. Others in our group booked an upper floor tower and a castle room. Our last visit we stayed in a second floor Cabana room. All of these were great! We had a king size bed, flat screen tv that we never turned on, shampoo, bar soap, mini fridge, small safe, and some clothes hangers in the room. Rooms are spartan and that is what we like at this price point with this location! As long as it stays affordable we will continue to book at this little hotel! The gardens are gorgeous with multiple different flowering trees and plants, and palms too. The side walks are liked with conch shells with harbor tons of baby geckos! We used the pool a few times and they have updated the lounge chairs since two years prior. We had such great neighbors that we enjoyed conversations with and hugs goodbye! We didn’t partake in Buhos for the basic breakfast. All of the employees were kind and helpful. We rented beach chairs and umbrellas 100 peso per piece in front of the hotel. They are associated with Las Hamacas next store which has chair/ umbrella rentals at the same price point. Marvin from Las Hamacas spoiled us rotten was is a great asset. We also rented golf carts twice from them in the lobby for $65 usd/ day. We loved our stay and would return again!

Maria Del Mar is a wonderful hotel in the heart of Playa Norte. The hotel is situation on the best stretch of beach. Absolutely gorgeous crystal blue water!! Rooms are good, clean and beds are comfortable. The rooms around the pool have these large amazing balconies. Best value in Playa Norte. Front desk staff are extremely attentive and the lovely folks who work the resort ground and the cleaning crew are just the nicest! Very comfortable and safe hotel. Close to restaurants and shopping.

After a 2 year hiatus we went last minutes while Omicron was beginning to slow down. Close to the beach, restaurants close by. Beach access was lovely - but there is no free beach club access. There are lots of beach clubs close by though. Hotel felt a little neglected on arrival, but it was clear they were putting lots of effort into grounds cleanup etc during our second week. Beds are small, but we managed. Water pressure and hot water were good. Loved our balcony. Desk kindly ensured we had side by side rooms which was nice too.

You are really trading price for quality here. The beach and water are beautiful. However, it is the hotel aspects you aren't told about in advance that count. When we arrived, after 15 travel hours there was no water...not in the sink tap, shower or toilet. That was rectified the next day. You cannot flush paper in the toilet. Soiled paper must be wrapped and put in the wastepaper basket for the maid. Drinking water is out in the hallway in an old style office water cooler. "Continental breakfast" is only a cup of coffee, glass of orange juice and two pieces of toast at a restaurant across the street. Anything more, you pay for. The pool is very small. You have to pay for beach chairs. The rooms are very basic, but clean; staff friendly but they have little to offer, no fault of theirs, and no staff on duty after 11; hotel locks at 11 and you get a key to enter through a gate. No phones to call the desk. Wifi only at the pool, and that's iffy. TV only Spanish stations. Loud thumping music late at night from restaurant across the street. Given you have to eat and pay in restaurants, and the small town and its shops are dismal, you spend the same amount of $ as if at an all-inclusive top notch resort. It's not so much false advertising as incomplete information. So, as along as you know what you're buying into..... We won't return.

Only positives are proximity to the beach and the pool which is set if a beautiful garden thou very small but quiet. The room is basic which I do not have an issue with but toilet was barely flushing and shower temperature was hard to control as it went from burning hot to cold, bathroom sink was barely draining. A/C and ceiling fan worked not sure about the tv as it was ancient. Wi-fi only by the pool or swings restaurants. On two occasions I overheard customers claimed they had no water in their room at all. Breakfast included consisted of coffee, juice and two slices of toast but you could order more off the menu. Short walk to other bars and restaurants, taco stands etc No ice machine, insulation is poor as I could hear neighboring alarm clock. No water/soft drinks provided in the refrigerator, room was cleaned daily. $50 penalty for loosing key to the safe or loosing your wrist band. I don’t think I would stay there again as after a long day on the beach I prefer to come to comfortable working facilities. Beach is EXTREMELY busy, chairs are gone by 11am, with more ppl coming in and just laying on towels. Renting lounge chairs w/umbrella is $27 a day (3 bottles of water back), golf cart is $75 a day.

Bugs in the bathroom, no cell service in rooms, no wifi either. I booked 10 nights via a third party site and after one night asked to cancel since I didn't feel safe because I literally had no cell service. There is only wifi in the restaurant and lobby area.
Only good thing about this hotel is the location and it was fairly quiet.

My family and I spent 9 days at Cabanas Maria Del Mar. I have to admit, my first impression wasn't so great. The hotel had some major miscommunication with Expedia that affected my reservation. I was please to see the hotel personnel Guadalupe and Armando worked to resolve the issue and went out of their way to make sure I had a good experience with the hotel.
The property was well maintained, beautiful, and not to mention beach front location next to the best beach on Isla. The gate to the North Beach, on a sunny day, showcased the brilliant colors of the Caribbean. Walking the grounds, it's not hard to find beauty in every corner. Our room, even though seemed bare, but had good air condition, was kept really clean, and the bathroom was nice and recently updated. I even liked the hand carved headboards. We spent our days roaming Isla so we weren't in the room very much, but coming back to it at night, it always felt like home away from home.
At first, I really thought the personnel were not very friendly but only came to realize that they were warm and welcoming once I got to know them. Perhaps they may not smile as much as most Americans, but that is not a shortcoming in any way. I think it's important to keep an open mind and to keep the communication flowing. For my family's case, everything worked out so perfectly. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Cabanas Maria Del Mar.

I understand this is a budget, older property. However, certain things I expect even from budget properties is cleanliness and a at least a little maintenance. This hotel is in a great location and has a distinctive old world charm that could really be made into something special with a little elbow grease.
First of all, cleanliness was an issue. The ceiling in our room was covered in cobwebs that when the ceiling fan was turned on would blow around the room. Stains on the bedding, even a blood stain on the lanyard for our room key.
Maintenance wise, we could see daylight around the window A/C unti in our wall and this let mosquitoes into our room.
We brought up all issues to the front desk and they were a little apathetic, they were understanding but said there was nothing they could do about it.
The pool water was never clear, so opted out of jumping in.
On the bright side, the location is perfect and once again the charm of this place could really be capitalized on with a little work!
We rented a golf cart from the hotel and their rental rates were reasonable.
Also their restaurant, Buho's was a great little beach bar with pretty good, although very basic food.

They have a spot by the terminal to rent golf cart however. They require you to return the golf cart at Maria Del Mar hotel, which is 20 minutes away.
The staff LIED about taking me back to the terminal where we rented the golf cart.
After dropping the car off at the hotel they as requested, they told me there’s no one to take me back to the ferry terminal and the lady just walked inside left us stranded at their hotel, there’s no taxi or other transportation!

I check every room for bed bugs local or afar. The only bugs in the room that I experienced at Cabanas Maria Del Mar were the dead ones in the light above the bathroom sink. Lol ... we enjoyed our stay there.
