Na Balam is situated off the "main drag" so it is quiet and feels peaceful and secluded. The little beach is beautiful and was pretty much deserted during my stay. The rooms are huge and simply furnished. I had a room with a ceiling fan and felt no need for air conditioning. The bathroom has a stone shower with a... More

I've been to Na Balam many times over the last twenty years. Last trip was March, 2012 and it continues to amaze me; it's a private paradise that offers the best beach in the Yucatan. As a guest, you can be as private as you wish, or you can party as much as you wish. Proximity to town is an... More

This hotel has a great laidback feel to it and the lowrise nature of the building means it doesn't have an overwhelming resort feel to it, like some of the other places on Mujeres. The room was lovely and simple (blue tiled floor, all white paint and linen, good bathroom) although the AC did blast directly onto on of the... More

Located on the beautiful Playa del Norte of Isla Mujeres, this boutique hotel of 33 rooms is the place to go if you want quietness, a beautiful tropical beach that is hard to beat anywhere in the world, (if you know one better, please let me know) and good service from food and beverage to water sports and wrapping it...

Beautiful beach area, peaceful and comfortable location. Food was overall very delicious. Rooms were spacious however the bed was more like sleeping on a futon mattress. Our shower had hardly any water pressure and the water was cold, so it was hard to clean up. Power went out twice during our stay. Also, lighting in the vanity area was terrible... More

My wife and I stayed at Na Balam (5 nights by the pool and one night beach side). We loved the beautiful grounds and the beach location was perfect. We later found out from people that know the island that this is the best beach on the whole island. The pool side room was very nice for the price we... More

We just got back from six days on Isla Mujeres (April 23-Spril 29, 2012) staying at Na Balam and it was fantastic. We got the hotel recommendation from a friend and we LOVE smaller, more boutique hotels like this. We stayed in Room 1, which is a second floor room with a covered (read: shady... perfect for reading in the... More
