Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort & Villas

This quiet, sleepy, friendly, quaint beach resort stole our hearts at first sight. Our breath was taken away by the beach views, the powdered sugar like white sand, incredibly clear turquoise waters, amazing sunsets, and over all how chill it was. My favorites were the early morning beach walks with tons of shells to collect and the screened in porches. We were adopted by a very happy cat and dined in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner. I recommend the Boil Fish for breakfast, a local favorite! They also cooked three whole fish we caught reef fishing to perfection. That charter from the hotel was a great way to spend a vaca day on the ocean. All of the other guests were super friendly and the regulars were helpful with where to go. We will definitely be back, hopefully sooner than later! I haven't stopped recommending it to others.

Lovely resort in quiet locale. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Beach is the prettiest I have been on. We have been twice and will continue to come back. Our favorite tropical locale.

The Cape Santa Maria resort was absolutely perfect. Amazing beach and water; wonderful accommodations (stayed in a villa). Absolutely wonderful resort crew who made us feel welcomed, and provided great service. Fishing guides were awesome!

Amazing beach! The cottage room on the beach was well equipped and spacious. We enjoyed spending our evenings on the screened patio watching the sundown and listening to the sound of the waves. We spent a relaxing 5 days. The staff was friendly and helpful. I hope we will come back again.

Beautiful place with wonderful people... We've been to some beautiful beaches in our lifetime, but Cape Santa Maria now tops our list. If you're looking for a chill, relaxing vibe, this is where you want to be. We'll definitely be back.

Cape Santa Maria Resort at the north end of Long Island may be challenging to get to, but so well worth the trip. Being a professional pilot, I am well-travelled in the Bahamas and Caribbean, and understand that remote island infrastructure is often less than perfect. This is certainly not the case with CSM Long Island. The desalinated water was some of the best I've tasted anywhere. Our electrical power never flickered, nor did the high-speed Wi-Fi internet. The ice machines were clean and always full of fresh ice, the gift shop stocked with well-suited quality garments and sundry items. The premises were clean and orderly, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The bar and restaurant a**osphere were a "10" for a dreamy tropical vacation. The menu was varied and with rotating specials - the meals delicious, as were the cocktails from the bar. All of the accommodations are just a few steps from one of the finest beaches in the world. Facing west with the Trade Wind breezes from behind, makes for very a calm sea. The sand is a fine white powder great for walking, tapers gradually in depth as you enter the water, and free of shells (easy on the feet and safe for the children).
