Guest Reviews

• Alvin (10/5): - The property is on one of the nicest beaches anywhere. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The cottages are right on the beach. The cottages are well thought out for a family of 4 with 2 double beds and 2 singles.
• Jose (10/5): - Wonderful
• Jose (10/5): - Excelente
• Michael (10/5): - Staff was wonderful. Grounds are well-maintained and clean. Rental cars were available on-site. For those who are new to snorkeling or have kids, there's a good spot at the gut at the northern end of the property if people aren't fishing there. Snorkeling's also good at the Columbus monument's beach, a short drive north of CSMBR.
• James (10/5): - 100000000/10 stars. A true tropical paradise and we felt very taken of …. we did not want to leave. Will try to go back every year. Every picture is like a postcard but still doesn’t do the property justice. Lots of great new friends and adventures.
• ROBERT (10/5): Wonderful! - We had a lovely four night stay in this idyllic spot. The beach is perfect - amazing white sand with lovely clear water. A real opportunity to get away from it all and a long way from the crowded tourist hotels of Nassau. Many guests return and I can understand why. Our two boys (10 and 14 years) loved it too.
• Carlene (10/5): - This property is absolutely beautiful! Hardly anyone on the beach, very laid back. Not everything is perfect, our safe didn't work, could only lock door from inside villa, they didn't have the proper tip to inflate our floaties, but you have to remember you are in a remote area. You also have to remember you are on island time!! No one is in a hurry. We loved this place and will be back.
• Jennifer (10/5): - Exceptional setting stunning beach and super relaxing
• Christine (4/5): - Schöner Strand
• Nelson (10/5): - Beautiful beach , wonderful place to enjoy peace and relax ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
• Mario (8/5): - Fantastic location. The staff sometimes rude
• Jose (10/5): - Lugar paradisiaco!!!
• David (10/5): - This gem is amazingly tucked away from the world offering elite hospitality and endless activities. I am definitely visiting again, I highly recommend.
• Peter (10/5): - Definitely one of the most beautiful beaches of the planet! The water is crystal clear, diving is amazing and everybody is so friendly.
• Ibrahim (10/5): - Staff was excellent, food great and most importantly rooms were clean.
• Sven (8/5): Top Lage, Meer und Strand traumhaft - Die Lage und der Strand sind traumhaft 😊 Die Einrichtung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen… Zimmerservice und Sauberkeit war mässig.. aber der Strand und das Meer sind einzigartig 👍
• Matt (10/5): - Amazing
• Unique (2/5): No GRACE given - This trip was accidentally booked to Bermuda and we are visiting the Bahamas. I am still waiting to see if they will issue a refund. It's a shame that I am being penalized for an error made unknowingly. We never used their accommodations so it's pretty upsetting that I'd have to pay almost $500 for an unoccupied room.
• ryan (10/5): - Absolutely incredible place! The water is breathtaking. The staff is responsive and very sweet. Great food. Highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a relaxing gorgeous get away.
• Joseph (10/5): - It was all good
• Sherry (8/5): - This place was a remote paradise! Great service too. Only 2 critiques: the food is just ok. The no see ums will bite you to pieces at sunrise and sunset. I hate Deet but that and coming inside are your best options.
• jonathan (10/5): - Spectacular all around !!
• Armando (10/5): - Beautiful and pristine location with super friendly and nice staff made this a superb experience. Loved the fact that even at what seemed to be a peak season, the number of people was minimum giving at times the impression that you had the place for your family only. We will definitely return.
• Stanley (10/5): - A hidden paradise! Best beach we’ve ever visited. Lots to do! Matt and all staff are wonderful! Also Nadia, Jasmine Stephanie and Stephanie. Food was great! Lots of fish to see on beach.
• Sarah (10/5): - AMAZING! Never seen water like that in my life!
• Daniel J (10/5): - Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Meals were excellent. Wonderful excursions. Hard to believe settings like this still exist. Beautiful beach and totally uncrowded.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We loved the secluded nature of this resort. It was rare to see more than 10-15 people on the beach or in the water at any given time, and plenty of hours when we had the beach to ourselves. Activities like kayaking, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and biking were free, with complimentary rental of helmets, paddles, life vests, and snorkel masks/fins. There were other tours and activities available for a fee. What you can't see from the photos is the excellent snorkeling available and the unparalleled glimpse you'll get of the Milky Way each night. I count both experiences among the best of my life. Our villa was spacious, comfortable, and everything (from furnishings to fixtures) looked like new. We enjoyed cooking in our villa kitchen, making our own frosty beverages, and watching Netflix/Amazon Prime Video each night. The resort makes their own drinking water, and there are small markets and cafes on the island if you want to eat in your villa/bungalow or away from the resort. While we were there, many fish/seafood dishes on the menu were not available, but this is typical on islands that depend on local catches and imported goods. Every dish we enjoyed was delicious and well-made. For those who are prone to mosquito bites (early in the morning and sunset/night), the resort provides insect repellent.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Cape Santa Maria Resort is simply paradise. The property is beautiful, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The beach and water are the best we've ever seen.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The view from your room is awesome!!! Step out of your room onto the beach and into the crystal clear water. Very nice staff, will be returning.
• Lisa (10/5): - Wow was the first word followed by simple disbelief when so first saw the beach. The photos do not even do it justice. The hotel itself is simple, but each room features beach views and when the beach is that stunning you don't need much else. The hotel also offers many activities and tours. It is perfect for those who are looking for a low key, relaxing holiday, away from the hustle and bustle of Nassau. Lastly, the staff were just incredible and we shared many laughs. A home away from home. We will be back.
• Romain (10/5): The place to be - Excellent emplacement sur l’une des plus belles plages de l’île. Très bonne nourriture. Prenez un happy hour sur la terrasse du bar face au coucher de soleil. Gentillesse des serveuses. Très grand bungalow avec salon extérieur. A ne pas manqué escapade en bateau à Sandy cay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Stranden vid Cape Maria är otrolig vacker. Sanden är vitpudrig och vattnet relativt långgrunt.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Splendido resort con spiaggia e mare da sogno,bungalow sulla spiaggia con veranda protetta da zanzariere utilissima contro moschito terribili
• Verified traveler (4/5): - first the good stuff: amazing views, perfect beaches, intimate vibes, friendly other guests after that: service is below average, attitude from the waiters. villas are clean but could use an upgrade. biggest issue is the food. there are no other restaurants on the island so you will be captive to a limited menu with very high prices (plus mandatory 15% tip and 12% vat). everything is over cooked (i.e. well done) presumably because it's not fresh
• christian (10/5): Paradis pour robinson - Personnel serviable et souriant.... attention auxpiqures de puces de sable quand le soleil se couche .... idéal pour le bonefishing en famille
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The beach is gorgeous with the soft white sand and clear turquoise water. Resort is very quiet and peaceful. Staff are very friendly and helpful. There are kayaks and paddle boards as well as basic bicycles for use. If you need shopping and night life this is not the place. Wi-Fi was very limited. Snorkeling was disappointing as access is based on the winds and not much to the reef.
• karine (10/5): Superbe endroit , idéal pour se reposer! - Endroit magique, très beau, très serein ( attention pour les amateurs d ambiance le soir , il n y a rien ) , parfait pour le repos absolu. !
• zac5 (10/5): Splendida spiaggia - Bella spiaggia splendido mare,camere confortevoli e ampio patio protetto da zanzariera e con ventilatore a soffitto,assolutamente necessario se no le zanzare ti divorano.personale gentile ed efficente
• Július (10/5): Možno najkrajšie more západnej pologule - Najkrajšia lagúna akú sme kedy videli. Hotel je skôr jednoduchý ale personál je srdečný a to prostredie vynahradí všetky drobné nedostatky ako že v rezorte ani na ostrove nie je okrem kúpania sa čo robiť.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Sleeping steps from the beach, in a beautiful, cool bungalow, the only challenge was choosing between the activities. Kayaking, snorkeling, fishing, and sightseeing all try to temp you away from simply walking on snow white sand and swimming in crystal blue waters.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Stunning beach/water - The beach and water are amazing. Cottages are a little dated but very comfy with a great screened porch. Food was very good and everyone very nice. Service was spotty in that orders were not always correct and pace was a bit slow at times. Like more than typical carribean slow. Being a bit proactive in ordering helps a lot. Would definitely go back.
• Rob (10/5): - Fabulous...
• Thierry (10/5): Magnifique ! - Emplacement exceptionnel. Plage magifique, eau cristalline et sable fin comme de la farine. Abritée du vent, ce qui est très important ! bungalow face à la mer, top!
• Doug (10/5): Outstanding View - Bungalows open right onto the beach and have a generous screened in porch. Food was excellent in the restaurant. We intend to return.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Week at the Cape - Beautiful place, rooms right on beach Staff was excellent; Beds could be more comfortable Weather was not good
• Darren (10/5): Great Place! Great Views! Understand the staff - My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and we had a blast! The room was great and the beach was perfect. Lots of activities could be done. We are adventurous and didn't do guided tours. We explored on our own and did a over 6 mile Kayak to monument there. Overall we had a great time. I would say that we were disappointed at the staff at first. The staff seemed very displeased with the people staying here. As we dug deeper into why with the great bartenders they had there (Kelly and Jay) we realized that the added gratuity to all dinners etc was split between EVERY WORKER on the site. That meant housekeeping, gardeners etc. Which we didn't think that was fair at all. If you stay here be sure to tip the waitresses and bartenders more. We did and we had a great time with crew. They took care of me and my wife and were very pleasant. Take time to get to know them. We liked the management at first but we kind of saw through their "fakeness". Several times my wife and we would talking to them and they just plain ignored questions that we asked. Rating the management on a scale of 1 to 5, we would give them a 2.5. This is a family friendly place and we made several friends. We are from Texas and almost everyone there we met were from Texas. A couple from France stayed next to us. We DID NOT care for them. You will meet a lot of foreigners here. As for Local stuff to do Deans Blue Hole is a must Plan to snack or go grocery shopping as their menu is super expensive!
• Július (10/5): The only place in the world where we came back. - The beach is the best we have ever seen anywhere. The resort itself is excellent with very nice staff. Ak to náhodou bude čítať niekto zo Slovenska.. Ľudia ak je pri výbere letnej dovolenky pre vás rozhodujúca pláž a more, choďte na toto miesto. Nikde na svete sme nevideli takú krásnu zátoku.
• Milene (10/5): Lugar maravilhosos! - Lugar perfeito para casais e famílias que querem tranquilidade. O acesso à ilha é um pouco complicado, mas o hotel e a praia são incríveis. Todos os quartos são ótimos com vista diretamente para beira da praia. O Resort oferece caiaque, stand up paddle e snorkell para os hóspedes.
• Xavier (8/5): 1 semaine au paradis - L'emplacement parfait des chambres et de cet Hotel !
• Thiery (10/5): Le Cape Santa Maria : merveilleux ! - Petit paradis malheureusement accessible en taxi par une route défoncée ! Tout le reste est au top, personnel, équipements, nourriture, etc.... Nous étions au bungalow 11. La baie est magnifique, et le sable ........ Je recommande
• Verified traveler (8/5): Alles perfekt - nur das Essen... - Alle perfekt. So, wie man sich einen Bahamas-Aufenthalt vorstellt. Nur das Essen könnte besser sein.
• Viviana (8/5): Vacanza a Long Island - Siamo stati in Agosto nell'Hotel Cape Santa Maria a Long Island. Il posto è magnifico, su una splendida spiaggia incontaminata. Il bungalow, a due passi dal mare spettacolare, è carino e confortevole. Lo staff è molto gentile e disponibile. I prezzi sono abbastanza alti ma è comprensibile per il posto in cui si trova. Pecca: noiosa la presenza di troppe zanzare che aggrediscono a qualsiasi ora, nonostante l'utilizzo di vari spray antizanzare.
• alessandra (10/5): Albergo in posizione unica - Posto meraviglioso , resort direttamente sulla spiaggia , spiaggia veramente bella direi supera molti atolli delle Maldive, unico difetto sono sole le zanzare
• Abel (6/5): Nice neach - Not too bad for the price. Beach is incredible. Food was unpredictable and inconsistent. Ask for anything different in your food and you may or not get it. Would not go back.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Resort veramente buono. Posizione incantevole sulla spiaggia.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Petit paradis marin ..... et personnel au top - Superbe lieu pour profiter de la Mer ..... Personnel toujours souriant et à l'écoute du client .... On a l'impression de dormir les pieds dans l'eau
