Mauricio Ochmann appears as Ricardo in early episodes before being replaced by Manolo Cardona.

Telemundo's slogan in English-language ads for the show was "The heat of Acapulco, the passion of a woman."

During the show's last month, June 28, 2007, Marina's time slot (which included one soccer pre-emption and an encore of the finale) averaged 577,000 core adult viewers (ages 18 to 49), an 18 percent increase over the year before, when Tierra de Pasiones aired during that hour, according to Nielsen Media Research.
