    So glad we did this!
    After riding around on a golf cart in the hot sun, there's really nothing better than cooling off inside the Ice Bar. Admission gets you two drinks and one shot. It's so fun to hang out inside... ice sculptures and cups/shot glasses make the whole experience so fun. You can go in and out until you've finished your allotted drinks. A wonderful thing to do as a hangover cure! Don't miss it.
    Hi Heather, First of all thank you for visiting us during your stay at Isla Mujeres & thank you for writing us your opinion Heather. We are so happy to know that you had an awesome time in the Ice Bar. Hopefully, we can see you back soon! Best Regards, Ice Bar Team

    Cool experience, worth the $18 if you’re in the area
    The experience itself was pretty cool. The room is small but for $18 USD, we got entrance + 2 drinks and a shot! Only disappointment was that I paid for our photos to be emailed to us and never received them. I’m not really sure how to get in contact with them so I guess I’m just out that $8 or so and the photos.
    thank you for you visit

    Unique Attraction
    Don't expect anything lavish but it is fun and a great way to cool down from the heat. I read a review where someone complained that it was touristy. Of course it is!!! The price was less than $20usd & you get a few tickets for drinks. They give you a fur poncho and then you walk inside a large freezer full of ice sculptures. You can take a shot out of an ice shot glass if you'd like or grab a beer. They take a picture & you can purchase that if you'd like as well. I think everyone should see it.

    Unsafe food handling
    Sat in the restaurant yesterday and watched some chicken being prepped. The chef took a large piece of chicken breast and cut it up. He then proceeded to just wipe the cutting board and his knife with a cloth and then cut up veggies for a salad......all on the contaminated cutting board and without ever washing his hands. Beware people! Your chances of getting sick at this restaurant are very high!
    Hi There Hope you ok.... Sorry to hear that.. I will see who was working that day i will fix it.. Hope you can give us another chance King Regards

    Completely ignored by staff
    I tried to go to the ice bar. I read The sign and according to that they were open. I parked, walked in and it seemed maybe the sign was wrong because there was no one in there except staff. I asked a man working 3 times not 25 feet from me if they were open. He completely ignored me and then he and his coworker started laughing. It was embarrassing and humiliating to try to support their business but be treated this way. No idea.
    I'm very sorry for your experience, we hope you can come back and repair your impression of us.

    Amazing Freezing Experience
    Great experience I enjoy the difference in temperature going from 90 degrees to extreme cold. I love the attire that was provided and the shots in the ice bar also helped kept the body warm. I stayed for about 15 minutes and enjoyed the experience very much.
    Thank you very much, we are happy that you had a fun time there

    Never again
    I guess the novelty of an ice bar impresses some people but we were not impressed. The staff was rude and the food was gross. We had this included in a boat tour and we decided to go hungry instead of eating at this place. Gross is the only word I can use to describe this place.

    Tourist Trap
    What a tourist trap. They wouldn't let us peak inside to see if we wanted to go. Two of our party went and said that the drinks were so watered down, and it was totally a tourist trap. They even wore fur jackets that smelled like sweat. How gross!

    Do not go here
    Went with wife and 2 friends. The bar is very small. We were the first people in the bar and within 10 minutes one of the pieces broke while I was standing next to it. I touched it, but had no weight on it and did not do anything abnormal. I caught it as it tipped over and it then fell apart in my hands. The owner approached us like a crazy woman and demanded money or she would call the cops. We had already given her $52 and had only had half of a drink. The drinks were terrible also. They had 4 options. They were super sweet and pre made. In all of the owners replies she says 99% of visitors leave with a great experience. Going by reviews, only 53% gave the highest rating. It is not impressive or welcoming even if you dont have the type of experience that we did. Rent a golf cart, cruise the island and explore the beaches and small shops in town. Beautiful island, terrible establishment.
    hi, do not come back please, you thinking you are in the gym ?.... went to remove the sword inside of a wall made of ice.... breaking everything... and i am the crazy ? be an adult please , act in a public place like one kind regards

    Very Rude Lady at the front counter!!!!!
    The ice bar itself was wonderful and something to see. But way overpriced! It was 15.00 and included one drink, but there were 8 of us and 6 of us do not drink! The rude Lady Manager at the counter who worked on Thursday July 11th. 2019 would not give us a discount and that was Ok, But she was so rude to us we almost left without going in. So we just paid so the kids could experience this. There was a buffet going on for the people who got off the boat tours,or anyone who decided to pay but we decided to get the quick menu due to our time back to the boat which was, burgers, fries, burritos and nachos! The load of people from the boat had boarded so there was no one in this restaurant at this time but us 8 and It took them 1 1/2 hours! (yes I typed this correctly ) 1 1/2 hours for the fast food service! we wanted to leave numerous times without our food but felt bad for our waiter who was apologizing numerous times. This place needs to replace the lady who was at the counter. She was so rude to all of us! many customers will not return due to her! I know I wont! too bad cause it seemed like a nice place to be.

Brought here by a snorkeling tour. (Not a cheap tour either) very disappointing!! The staff wasn’t very friendly, the food wasn’t good at all, no taste, meat tasted like it was just boiled in water. The drinks only colored water. The ice cream stand very dirty. Asked for a drink, it never came. Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Definitely wouldn’t have paid to eat here!

My husband and I visited the Ice Bar on our honeymoon in August 2018. We placed our hands on the second story deck railing to take a photo, and the railing gave way, sending us both to the ground below. Our injuries were severe and we are still suffering to this day. One of the owners arrived at the hospital and refused to pay for any part of our care. For your safety...we recommend veering clear of this property!

Tourist trap is a little unfair! Nobody is forcing you to go here! $10 entry including a beverage, $15 for entry with 2 beverages and a shot! We didn't last long enough to finish the second drink so slipped off to the beach and pier for a few awesome photos! If sub zero temperatures and beverages are your thing, get in here and enjoy it like we did. If moaning is your thing, don't bother!
