Not that clean anymore compared 2017- facing parking lot and a parking entrance on 2 sides- despite a huge nightly rate, I asked for another room but was told that as I had not booked thru the hotel directly, they could not offer me another room. Not impressed and not going back!

We hope you will reconsider and give us the opportunity to showcase a great stay for you. Should you decide to rebook with us, please contact us direct and we will make every effort to accommodate all your requests.Sincerely,Mark BibbGeneral Manager

Check in was terrible.... the front desk ladies were focused on many other things and I stood right in front of them for 15 minutes before they even greeted me. No smiles and a terrible attitude. I will say that Matilda made it right when i checked out. She apologized for the two other ladies and took excellent care of me. The hotel should really know how important she is to operations.

I would 100% stay again
This is an outstanding boutique hotel, beautiful from the curb, even nicer inside. Our suite was in excellent condition, extremely well-appointed, very clean, everything you need to cook, ice maker, daily service, friendly and attentive staff. Really the only complaint- it would be nice to have a smart TV for music, Netflix, etc. Also, the hotel should not permit people to run out to 'reserve' pool lounge chairs with a towel or book at 7am when they have no intention of going out there until 11am- you are either there using the lounger or not.

Wonderful and helpful staff, super clean, comfortable beds, and great location.

Absolutely loved Santa Maria Suites. The staff was exceptional and helpful. The rooms were so clean. Everyday the staff came in to tidy up rooms and they wipes the bathrooms down daily. Every afternoon they dropped off new coffee k-cups, chocolate and ice cream bars. The pool area was clean and had plenty of seating. It was the most perfect weekend!!

A gem of a find
If you find a room don’t hesitate to book…I was also hesitant bc of price. Keep recommending this spot to others. Super clean and thoughtful layout of room, bedside included reading light and charging ports, lighting buttons. Walkable to the old town and 2 major temples. Enjoyed the rooftop twice and had others meet us there. Firepit drinks and snacks were great!

I reserved two suites for an end of summer family getaway and could not have made a better choice. The property is impeccably maintained and well suited for couples and families. Modern updates abound as the interior spaces are designed and equipped with contemporary furniture and amenities throughout the two floor suites. Santa Maria is a private oasis in close proximity to the beach and Duval Street, however our quality time was as much spent on the property as it was visiting nearby attractions. If the home-away-from-home experience is what you're looking for, this is the place for you! Pure bliss.
