What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The location is amazing. Directly at the beach and sea with nice clear water. They have great places to chill. The hotel is built into a real jungle. The food is good but the included breakfast could be a bit bigger and more versatile. Maybe more fruit added to the pancakes and French toast. All in all it was a perfect place with very helpful staff.”
“This was an AMAZING EXPERIENCE! We are from Palm Beach, Florida. And our expectations were big, definitely they exceed it From the check in and the wonderful attitude from ANABEL and CHRISTIAN and the way they solved in no time our questions and requirements, they give us all the information was needed for our stay in Isla Mujeres. Thank you guys so much again!! Our room have an amazing view, was spotless, and includes a great espresso machine thank you LORENA for keeping it so clean during our stay. Amazing Staff Amazing hotel with the perfect vibe! Amazing restaurant (delicious food and drinks) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Miguel at the beach club restaurant gave us some of the best service we’ve ever had. He remembered my boyfriend and I, remembered our orders, and went above and beyond to make our experience special. When we asked about tequila, he shared his own recommendations and introduced us to things we never would have tried on our own. Miguel was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what he does. His attention to detail and ability to create such a personalized experience truly set him apart. He wasn’t just a great server, he was one of the highlights of our entire trip. Thank you, Miguel, for making our visit so memorable! ⭐”
“We didn’t stay here but came to the restaurant and to spend and afternoon. We had the BEST day. The food and drinks were great. The water so blue. Kids had a blast. Our server Julián went above and beyond. We walked to the peer and he brought us our drinks there and had the BEST attitude. Will come back again!”
“Lovely hostel with great activities. Really recommend the breakfast. The highlight was Miguel who greeted me so warmly every morning. Miguel made the effort to learn my name and make sure everything was perfect with my experience!”
