Love this hotel! Great location! Within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The pool is fantastic with beautiful view and a great beach..although not swimmable..but you can walk around the corner to Playa Norte beach…about a 5 minute walk. What is great about this boutique hotel is that it is quiet and private but close to everything. We booked a king Oceanview room. You can hear the waves from your room if you open your slider. We were on the third floor at the end. Room #30. The room was very spacious with plenty of drawers and storage for your clothes. A nice size refrigerator that stayed really cold and great A/C that operated by remote control. Which was great if you are in the bed and need to adjust. You have to climb steps to your room which did not bother us but they have someone carry your luggage for you..so that was great! Great maid service. Cleaned our rooms every day and replenished towels. You are given a card to exchange for beach towels everyday. Pretty nice beach towels. This hotel actually has 3 pools. One larger and smaller pool on the ocean and a third one in the center of some garden view rooms. We were at the hotel during the tropical storm so the bar at the pool was closed for most of the time but we had a few nice hours and the bar was open and we got a delicious margarita. Only con..no internet or WiFi…due to the weather. We will definitely be back.

“Can't beat it..... unless you just like to sit in your room!”

This place perfectly checks all the boxes for us! It's close to the action, but from our balcony is was silent, just the wind and waves.

This place perfectly checks all the boxes for us! It's close to the action, but from our balcony is was silent, just the wind and waves. We had one of the jacuzzi suites, plenty of hot water, we used it a lot. Note that if you've got a balcony, the tile out there is slick when it gets wet. This place isn't the Four Seasons, so don't come expecting that. House keeping came in daily and cleaned up our room, floor was clean. We don't need the bells and whistles, and who goes to Isla to sit in their room..... Most of the employees were wonderful, especially the young woman at the front desk. I say most, because we had one older man working the front desk that gave us such a hard time about wanting to exchange towels. Bro, it's a towel, is this really worth the hard stance. Not a big deal. This leads me to my only suggestion, after my experience and reading other reviews, y'all just need to get some more beach towels, it's a simple fix:) Love the location and yes we'll be back!

“Quaint hotel on a quiet cove and nice beach”

We recently spent three nights at this hotel while we explored and relaxed on Isla Mujeres. The hotel is well located on the north east side of the top of the island, meaning it is well placed for the famous Playa Norte and accessing the restaurants and bars in town, but quiet and secluded enough on its own beach cove, which while you can’t swim there, affords a peaceful retreat from the crowds. It’s like having the best of both worlds - great access and tranquility. The hotel has a nice pool looking out to the sea and comfortable rooms, albeit leaning to the more basic side. A couple of observations: - There is no breakfast facility here, but lots of good places close by - Coffee Break and Oh My Brunch were both good. - While there are coffee machines in the rooms and one near the reception, they only offered single use polystyrene cups when we were there, which is very disappointing given the need to protect the island’s ecosystem and environment. - The tv has a couple of Spanish language channels, which is fair, and the “smart tv” functions (ie Netflix) didn’t work. Not a major point, as we were out exploring all the time. - The reception staff could be friendlier and more present/visible, especially as they make you wear a plastic tag/wristband to ensure only hotel guests use the facilities/for security reasons. We saw the hotel cat at the door more than we did staff members!
