Rocamar Hotel Panoramico Isla Mujeres

“What a gem this hotel is!”

This quaint hotel right on the ocean was a gem! It is extremely clean and well-maintained. It’s super convenient to the ferry, restaurants, and shopping. The pool overlooked the ocean and the courtyard was very welcomimg, with its rocking chairs and tables for gathering with friends.

“Don’t overlook this solid, clean hotel!”

After many, many visits to Isla Mujeres and stays in hotels as well as small casitas, our group of two couples opted for Rocamar because of its location on the malecon and its walkability to the beach, cafés, shops and restaurants we love. We requested second floor rooms and were squared away quickly despite a midnight arrival thanks to Jesse. A very quick room change was effected by 1 pm the next day for our travelling companions who had requested a king bed, and I’d say it was a fabulous upgrade to Room 18! If you’ve stayed there you’ll know why. Many thanks, Alma. A few thing took some getting used to but were quickly sorted. Bathrooms have glass walls but full privacy is ensured by pulling draperies over exposed areas. Stand far back as you adjust your shower temperature where you like it — hot water there is HOT. Our housekeeper was Kandy, a sweet woman who left everything gleaming each day around 11 am in our case. She provided extra towels and even some “Cloro” so I could get a stain out of my new white tee. We made sure to tip her everyday, even her day off, for her pleasant demeanour and friendly conversation. It helps that my Spanish is good. I’d say the hugest plus of Rocamar are its balcony views of the Caribbean Sea and the waves rolling in. Coffee and sunrises just naturally go together here. The sun moves to the southeast by lunchtime, so we would often spend our early afternoons by the small pool or the outdoor tables under shady canopies. The pool was clean and uncrowded; other guests were pleasant and respectful. Our single complaint was handled swiftly by the desk when a family had their small children in the courtyard running and shouting at 1 am. A definite bonus for us was the hotel cat, Misha, a clean spayed female dilute calico. She befriended us and spent most nights on our bed sleeping. She meowed to go out and returned in the evenings after dinner! There may or may not have been tuna involved. :) I hope all guests are accepting of her if not completely mad about her as we are. Look past a few dated things that could use paint. New pool umbrellas would be great but we know they take a beating with the constant onshore wind. We most assuredly will return to Rocamar for what we feel was an economical, safe and comfortable stay.

The hotel itself is very basic. The room was clean. Bed was comfortable, very little style, nothing fancy. The location is amazing. You can walk everywhere! The rooms have fantastic ocean views. You cant get closer to the ocean. Went to bed listening to crashing waves was the best. It has a nice small pool. It was never loud or crowded while I was there. Be very careful when you get out of pool. Steps are VERY slick. I took a nasty fall. Bruised but thankfully not broken. If you need fancy amenities and room services this place is not for you. If you just want a clean room in a perfect location it's perfect for that.
