The best area to stay in Santa María is typically within the town centre, particularly around the main plaza, Plaza Mariscal López. This central area is the heart of Santa María, offering easy access to the town's primary attractions and amenities. You'll find the main church, the Jesuit Museum, and several local eateries and shops concentrated around the plaza and along the adjacent streets. The layout is quite walkable, making it convenient for exploring on foot. For couples seeking a relaxed and culturally rich experience, staying near Plaza Mariscal López is ideal. You'll be steps away from the Jesuit Museum, which houses a significant collection of Guaraní-Jesuit art, and can enjoy leisurely strolls through the plaza in the evenings. The convenience of having dining options close by also adds to a stress-free trip. For solo travellers interested in history and local life, the town centre provides a practical and engaging base. You can easily visit the historical sites, interact with local businesses, and experience the day-to-day rhythm of Santa María without needing to travel far. ### When is the best time to go to Santa María? The best time to go to Santa María is during the cooler, drier months from April to September. This period avoids the intense heat and humidity of the summer, making it much more comfortable for exploring the area. The lower rainfall also means outdoor activities are less likely to be interrupted. Couples looking for a pleasant and comfortable visit will find these months ideal for enjoying the local attractions without the discomfort of high temperatures. It's superb for leisurely strolls and exploring the Jesuit ruins nearby. Families travelling with children will also appreciate the milder weather, as it makes sightseeing and outdoor play much more enjoyable for everyone. ### Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia? You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Santa María. ### How much is the nightly rate at a Santa María hotel? Prices for hotels in Santa María often vary, but you can find a great deal from £42 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate. ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Awa Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Encarnacion-Hotels-Awa-Resort-Hotel.h15363309.Hotel-Information) - [Carnaval Hotel Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Encarnacion-Hotels-Carnaval-Hotel-Casino.h12599683.Hotel-Information) - [Class Apart Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Encarnacion-Hotels-CLASS-APART-HOTEL.h33289926.Hotel-Information) - [Mandala Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Encarnacion-Hotels-Mandala-Hotel.h27658956.Hotel-Information) - [Sun Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Encarnacion-Hotels-SUN-HOTEL.h42340209.Hotel-Information) - [Trinidad Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trinidad-Hotels.d6141611.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Encarnacion Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Encarnacion.d6141802.Holidays-City-Breaks) - [Visit Encarnacion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Encarnacion.dx6141802) - [Jesús Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jesus.d6353265.Holidays-City-Breaks) ## Other language versions ```yaml hreflang: x-default: https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels fi-FI: https://www.expedia.fi/Santa-Maria-Hotellit.d553248635975867967.Matkaoppaat-hotellit en-KR: https://www.expedia.co.kr/en/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels zh-CN: https://www.expedia.com/cn/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels en-JP: https://www.expedia.co.jp/en/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels pt-BR: https://www.expedia.com.br/Santa-Maria-Hoteis.d553248635975867967.Guia-de-Hoteis en-US: https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels en-TH: https://www.expedia.co.th/en/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels th-TH: https://www.expedia.co.th/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels de-AT: https://www.expedia.at/Santa-Maria-Hotel.d553248635975867967.Reise-Angebote-Hotels it-IT: https://www.expedia.it/Santa-Maria-Hotel.d553248635975867967.Guida-Viaggi-Hotel en-GB: https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels en-TW: https://www.expedia.com.tw/en/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels es-AR: https://www.expedia.com.ar/Santa-Maria-Hoteles.d553248635975867967.Guia-de-Hoteles fr-CA: https://www.expedia.ca/fr/Santa-Maria-Hotel.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels de-DE: https://www.expedia.de/Santa-Maria-Hotel.d553248635975867967.Reise-Angebote-Hotels en-ID: https://www.expedia.co.id/en/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels vi-VN: https://www.expedia.com.vn/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Huong-dan-du-lich-Khach-san ar: https://www.expedia.sa/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels en-IN: https://www.expedia.co.in/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels es-ES: https://www.expedia.es/Santa-Maria-Hoteles.d553248635975867967.Guia-Viajes-Hoteles es: https://www.expedia.com/es/Santa-Maria-Hoteles.d553248635975867967.Guia-Viajes-Hoteles ko-KR: https://www.expedia.co.kr/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels nb-NO: https://www.expedia.no/Santa-Maria-Hoteller.d553248635975867967.Reise-Guide-Hoteller sv-SE: https://www.expedia.se/Santa-Maria-Hotell.d553248635975867967.Reseguide-Hotell en-PH: https://www.expedia.com.ph/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels es-MX: https://www.expedia.mx/Santa-Maria-Hoteles.d553248635975867967.Guia-Viajes-Hoteles ja-JP: https://www.expedia.co.jp/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels zh-TW: https://www.expedia.com.tw/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels en-CA: https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels en-IE: https://www.expedia.ie/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels da-DK: https://www.expedia.dk/Santa-Maria-Hoteller.d553248635975867967.Rejse-Guide-Hoteller nl-NL: https://www.expedia.nl/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Reisgids-Hotels en-AU: https://www.expedia.com.au/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels en-SG: https://www.expedia.com.sg/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels en-NZ: https://www.expedia.co.nz/Santa-Maria-Hotels.d553248635975867967.Travel-Guide-Hotels ```
