Bare basics hotel. You cannot fault cleanliness or the happy staff at the bar. Jesse, Roy, Latavia we’re lovely, they really care. We were here for a week! Pool is functional but unless Roy is on the stage, no service! Suite was spacious but limited decor. Don’t plan on coffee, you have a machine but no coffee. Don’t drink tap water but they sell Costco 12oz bottles for $3! Bar prices are fair as is food but not a gastronomic honey hole. The WORST thing about this hotel was the Front Desk! Unfriendly, unhelpful, un knowledgeable, un welcoming, UN. everything a front desk should be! Awful from day one to day 8! Spend their time on their phones and preening themselves. I would give three stars it it wasn’t for the bar crew! Front Desk needs to go!

We stayed at the hotel for one night before we got on our sailboat charter. The rooms were large, very nice and clean. I liked the fact that we could walk to the shops and restaurants in Roadtown - only a couple blocks away. The food at the hotel restaurant was Ok but I would recommend trying the restaurants in Roadtown insted.

We had an ocean view room with a fantastic view . Room was larger than most American hotel rooms. Every detail was included in the room. When you first walk into the room air conditioning is already on we actually had to turn it down. Television already on with remote controls right there in front of the television. Room decor was fabulous. When we went downstairs for breakfast and dinner the food was out of sight. I learned the bread and all pastries are made on sight. This restaurant have all professional chefs and bakers. The quality of their food is simply elevated. One other patron described their hamburger plater which is also handcrafted that she felt like a kid in the candy store. After one week of eating at Maria's by the sea you do feel a sense of guilt for eating so well. My family and I highly recommend a visit to the BVI will not be complete without a stay at the hotel and dinning at Maria's by the sea and have anything on the menu. I especially enjoyed the rack of lamb and burgers.…

Hotel is by the sea, but there is no beach. Good location in Road Town, capital of BVI on Tortola. Everything in BVI is expensive. Very hilly country with few lush 'palm tree' beaches, but is sailor's paradise. Lots of islands to visit, bays with beaches. Staff in hotel are great. Small swimming pool and sun lounge area, hardly used during my 2 week stay Oct 2022 here for business. Food in hotel is good but pricey.

After 10 days on a sail trip we needed a nice clean room, centrally located to the ferry and great food nearby. Maria’s was a perfect fit. We obviously didn’t need a seaside view since we had been looking at water for past 10 days. Room was clean with a huge king bed, great shower.And unlike many of the pools we dipped in during our cruising , the pool was not hot tub temperature. They have a beautiful dinning room, both open air and enclosed, so we choose Maria’s for a long overdue breakfast and relax before catching our ferry back to St Thomas.I could see spending a few days here !

I would agree that the hotel was not as nice as presented but was still very nice, especially for a quick trip. Our room was nice and comfortable. The restaurant and bar were good and reasonably priced. The location was great. Not a lot of services offered on-site, but the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely stay again.

Four couples stayed the beginning of June. The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly! Great location! Could walk to many places. Will plan to stay again when in the area! Didn't use the pool, but it looked good.

Positive: They let’s us check in a little early. Negative: Staff not very friendly. No working internet or TV. When mentioned to them they say to unplug internet box in room and if that does not work, you’re out of luck. Warning: The jerk chicken wrap in horribly hot and we like hot foods. Wife was unable to take a second bite. Yikes!!! Mentioned this to waitress and she said nothing back. You just don’t get the feeling guests are welcome. We will not be coming back.

We stayed at Maria's the night before our sailboat charter and the night afterwards. There are many things about Maria's that warrant praise. The property is clean, modern and quiet and within walking distance of the St. Thomas to Roadtown Ferry. Seaside rooms offer a balcony with a beautiful view. Reception staff was very friendly and helpful, insuring a cab was waiting to take us to the ferry at 6: 45 am We ate breakfast and dinner in the hotel's restaurant.There is a large covered area facing the ocean. I highly recommend the rack of lamb- six chops that were delicious. The business center was a life saver, allowing us to print all required documents for re entering the U.S.

Our accommodations a Maria's by the Sea were first class! The room was spacious, clean, and freshly refinished. The king size bed was perfect with high end bedding. We ate at their restaurant and had an excellent meal served by Roy. We checked out at 11:30 but asked if we could leave our bags for later pickup. The staff helped us store the bags and let us sit by the pool until our evening appointment time. We were conveniently located close to shops and restaurants along the Roadtown harbor. A short distance from the ferry dock and the cruise ship docks. Maria's is first class and we highly recommend it when in Roadtown.
