We got their last available room, even though there looked like there were other rooms available. The room seemed clean at first sight but on our first night we woke up with ants in the bed. There were ants crawling all over the floor, in the bathroom and when we looked in the fridge it was full of ants! The... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. 10days, great location, right near the beach (you are practically on the beach) We stayed in the Castle rooms and would really suggest them. We were in room 1, right above the buhos bar, i could use the buhos wifi internet in my room which was great. (the restaurant/bar always closed early and was... More

I must say that based on some of the mixed reviews here, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. So I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Maria Del Mar was an exquisite hotel -- which makes their rates an incredible bargain. Here's my feedback: -- Our room (a 2nd floor Cabana room with a view of the sea from... More

The price is right and more than fair for this very simple room right on the beach - we really enjoyed our couple of nights here. If you need luxury and are desperate for air conditioning, superior breakfast etc., look elsewhere. Here, it is clean, simple, charming decor, lovely courtyard, superb location and - did I say it already -... More

We have stayed at Maria del Mar three times over the last 9 years. Although we stayed at Aluxes Priviledge and Hotel Ixchel the last two times we visited Isla Mujeres, visiting Mari del Mar in January 2012 showed us that it is still the representative Isla property. No glitz or glamor, just a comfortable, friendly hotel on Playa Norte... More

We have been to Isla many times over 20 years. We love the location (Playa Norte) on Isla's finest beach, and near enough for an easy walk to town. Usually we stay at Na Balam (our favorite hotel on the island), but they had been booked when I was scheduling the trip. So, I reserved online at Cabanas Maria Del... More

My family and I stayed at Maria Del Mar and enjoyed ourselves. I really wish they didn't charge for chairs and towels. I think it could easily be included in the price of the room. The continental breakfast is fine for any early start. We have been to this lovely island many times and know of alot of places to... More

This is what it is - a three star hotel :-) The room in the new part was clean but very hospital-like. They give you only one towel per person (a big one - no small ones for face/hands) and another one as a bath mat. Beach towels are available but you have to make a deposit and sign them... More

Hotel is worn out and doesn't meet even minimum price/perfomance standards. The bathroom is so small you can barely turn around. No internet in the rooms. You have to pay extra for beach towels and many other things that are free in other hotels of the same category. They just have sort of good position and they try to rip... More
