This is the PERFECT location for a group trip! We each had separate rooms, but spent our time lounging in the common spaces. I personally loved the views relaxing in the hammocks and had a blast with our group in the treehouse. The location is central to many of the late night clubs which suited us well. Great food is across the street (get the breakfast burrito at Estel's!) or walkable in any direction. The water taxi stops right across the street. Our deluxe ocean view room was bright and clean, exactly as the pictures show. The staff was so friendly with any questions. I highly recommend Maria's for groups or individuals who want a home base to hang out, but also want to spend much of their time exploring all the island has to offer.
