We stayed in the castle section, which I recommend. Get the odd-numbered rooms, as they have a better view. We were in room number one and it was great. RIGHT ON THE BEACH. Be aware, service at this hotel, restaurant, and bar is pretty lousy. I highly recommend paying for everything on Isla Mujeres with pesos. They mark up everything... more

My wife and I were on our honeymoon in the Riviera Maya and we wanted to visit Isla Mujeres again because that was the very first vacation we ever went on together. We took the public bus from Playa Del Carmen up to Cancun, the Ferry across to Isla and then we hoofed it from hotel to hotel trying to... more

We stayed at Maria del Mar because I'd seen the property on and earlier visit. The location and beautiful courtyard garden caught my eye. The reservation process was difficult with pages of personal information to fax. We chose to skip that process and hope a room was available when we arrived. There was (unfortunately). Checking in was no problem, the... more

What a nightmare! We booked one of the "castle" rooms, which on their website looks like minimalist-cool white rooms with lucky bamboo and a chic style. Upon arrival the "porter" eyed our luggage, chose the smallest suitcase, led us across the street to their 2nd building, past a filthy open kitchen, up some steep stairs and into a tiny room... more

I chuckle at some of the previous reviews. Please remember you are traveling to MEXICO, and a relatively small town at that. Do NOT book here if you are expecting to be pampered, or even for everything to happen as planned. Our 2nd trip to Isla, stayed here for the location, a group of 4 friends. Booking was detailed and... more

I just returned from a week's stay on Isla, and stayed at Cabanas Maria for 4 nights, and Posada del Mar for 4. I much preferred Cabanas Maria. After reading reviews here before my trip I was expecting the worst from the staff and even considered changing hotels, but I am very glad I stuck with it. You get what... more

I have never been to a hotel with such bad service or with staff who had such disdain for their guests. My partner and I were forced to pay half our money in advance to secure the room and a small discount and so were unable to leave without losing our money. Otherwise we would have checked out after the... more

My wife and I have traveled to Isla Mujeres 10 times now and stayed a many of the hotels on the island. From $65 a night to $200 a night. A few years ago, Maria Del Mar was a nice hotel for the price. Now it is overpriced for what you get. You are now paying for location and not... more

The web site shows rooms, which really do not exist. The rooms are dark, primitively furnished and not clean. The hotel is a " rip off ". You are asked to pre pay for one towel $35.oo, you could buy four of them ! Then you buy your safe security box lock ! Not finishing paying ? NO....now you sign... more

We just got back from Isla[7th trip] and enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is clean and tidy with nice balconies for outside seating. Buhos bar on the beach in front of the hotel is great. Also try the Sunset Grill which is just a short walk up the beach. Unfortunately we will not be going back to Isla... more
