This small boutique hotel is so sweet. The grounds in the courtyard around the small backyard-style pool are so pretty with all the flowering trees. The exterior patios on each room are large and with nice wooden furniture and hammock. The inside of the rooms are very dark and plain, but this is not a resort - it's just a small quirky, legit Mexican hotel. Check in was a bit long, but I would definitely go back, and recommend, this hotel in a heartbeat. The location on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world is absolutely unbeatable...and the nearby restaurants are amazing!

Great location on one of the most beautiful beaches of the world - North Beach on Isla Mujeres. Cabanas Marias is NOT a 5-star, all inclusive resort if that is your kind of thing. However, Cabanas Maria's Nel Norte IS a very relaxing, clean, comfortable and affordable option with a great location. We come back every year and are never disappointed.

This hotel is lovely older hotel right on the North Beach. Not super fancy….but so nice to b so close to the amazing North Beach. Has a real Mexican Caribbean feel. Beautiful gardens too. Service wasn’t perfect but was responsive. If you are looking for just a chill place to relax at a reasonable price, this is a great place

perfect location. Easy walk to beach, restaurants, night life, ferry terminal. The hotel was quaint and clean but a bit rustic. Had some issues with bathroom plumbing that were rectified quickly by the staff....... but had no hot water for showers. Overall for the price, the location and premises were better than average

We stayed at Cabanas Maria del Mar for 15 nights. Our room was impeccably clean, the property’s gardens are gorgeous and the proximity to the beach cannot be beat. The beds were very comfortable, our room was spacious and the refrigerator was a good sized bar fridge. The shower was a little weak but we managed. I highly recommend!

The gardens, pool, tile patios with tables and rocking chairs were very nice....Easy access to the beautiful beach and clear blue water. It was a crowded beach but the rooms were quiet. We had access to fresh water from the water color near the pool. The hotel provided beach towels, the beach lounging chairs were 450 pesos a day to rent. Complimentary breakfast -coffee, juice and toast. The staff at the hotel and restaurant where we got our breakfast were all very nice.

I was assigned to the Castle building, there is no WiFi, it is veeery noisy, you can hear the noise from everywhere. The guy who assisted me at the registration was kind of angry, sad, bad mood, I could not tell, but the way he talked to the customer was not polite. He is one of the natives from the island, however, there was a young tall guy very polite and nice when helping or responding to questions. It is a great location though.

This is an old hotel just off the beach. The rooms are small but adequate. The little patios face a lush garden. The bathrooms have been restored. The rooms are somewhat dark but we pulled back the curtains. There is a remote for the air conditioner and a little refrigerator for drinks and left overs. Free breakfast (toast, coffee and OJ) at Buhos on the beach was all we needed. Some could walk to shopping; however, we chose to rent a golf cart to see more of the island. Periodic December rain dampened our trip somewhat. But it was good to get away.

Wouldn’t Recommend
My room was so dirty. There was stuff all over the counter tops, the walls were blackened with dirt. There was debris on the bed. The room was so loud I couldn’t sleep at all. No way to lock the room from the inside, so I felt super unsafe. The garden at the property was gorgeous, and there’s sooooo much potential. They also have great beach access, but they close it at 5pm, so it feels borderline useless. This could be an amazing place if they would just clean it, get some WiFi, and work on better customer svc.

The property itself is ok, but the price has increased significantly. I've stayed there five times in the past, and was given a room that wasn't as nice this time. Due to the potential government shutdown in the USA, we had to leave abruptly to get back to the states. I asked for either a refund or a credit to use another night, which was denied. I was a repeat customer, but now I'll choose to stay elsewhere.

First and last time staying at this property. The room was extremely dirty with a 1900 old box TV in the room. I then told the front desk that the tv in our room didn’t work. Since they held 150 dollars for accidentals and I didn’t wanted for them to claim that the tv was working. They brought a newer flat screen, but just to find out there is no cable 😂. Anyways we didn’t go to island to watch tv so it was no Biggie. However the lamps, lights, walls, mirrors, blankets and pillow cases were extremely filthy. It was discussing. I brought it to their attention and nothing was done. The shower curtain had black mold all over it. This hotel is located in a very good location. However i feel as they are very cheep whoever owns this property. The pool access closes at 5pm. That’s a huge problem at that time I’m still swimming and enjoying playa Norte. So if it’s after 5pm and you want to get back to your room. You will have to go all around the block to get into your hotel. This is a huge disadvantage on this property. We will never stay here again. I don’t recommend this location. So overall the property is Dirty, expensive and not beach friendly.

This was our third time starting at this property. It is right on the beach in Playa Norte. They include a free continental breakfast which was nice. The restaurant is also in the gorgeous beach and a nice way to start the day. Employees are friendly. Yoga, massages, chair and umbrella rental, golf cart rental also available right there. There is also a nice pool where we hung out after the beach a few nights and made our own cocktails. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and air conditioned. Only negative was no internet in the rooms but they did have it at the pool and at the restaurant.
