Latest reviews on Santa Maria's beaches

Chankanaab Beach

We had a pleasant time at the beach, enjoying snorkeling and the excellent service. The fish and shrimp tacos were delicious. However, it is important to note that bringing cash is advisable. Our food and drink bill, which was initially $85 in US dollars, ended up being $155 when charged to my credit card. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about it as I had signed for the transaction in pesos. If you plan on using a card, make sure to check the exchange rate beforehand to avoid any surprises. It turned out to be a rather costly day, which was unexpected considering how positively I felt about it initially.

Playa Uvas II

This resort is perfect for a tranquil vacation, offering a cozy and private atmosphere. It's not all inclusive, which I personally appreciate if you're not into drinking. The resort is well-maintained and pleasant, with excellent housekeeping. The location is fantastic, with a beautiful and extensive shoreline for snorkeling.

Isla de Pasion

The beach is really nice with crystal-clear waters and stunning beaches that are perfect for shell and coral hunting. As soon as we got off the boat, we spotted some needle fish swimming right by the dock. The food and drinks were amazing too! The only downside is that some parts of the beach have a lot of sand fleas and no seeums, which can be quite bothersome and may prevent it from getting a perfect rating.

Playa las Rocas

This stunning beach is an ideal destination for a day trip. The crystal-clear water is simply breathtaking, and the views are absolutely stunning. It's the perfect spot to unwind and appreciate the natural beauty of the island. What's more, the best part is that it won't cost you a dime to enjoy a day in paradise.
