You’d be better off sleeping on the beach. Absolutely terrible. Front desk lady is one of the worst parts of the trip. I read the reviews and thought ehhh maybe people are picky. No really heed the warning and DONT stay. Can’t emphasize enough- DONT STAY

We booked 3 nights and had to move out after the first night. The room was very small but clean. The biggest problem was the balcony as the door wouldn’t open. Also there was a solid 5 foot solid wall for the railing The tv didn’t work. When we asked at the front desk if we could move & the clerk said “no” The housekeeper said there was a room for us to move to

Do not be fooled by the pictures... unortunately it was not as great as it seemed. PROS: Close Proximity to Ferry, Restaurants and Playa Norte CONS: The rooms were very close to each other and you could hear babies crying,banging and slamming of doors -Bathroom was extremely small- barely enough room to sit down in toilet -bathroom had a very bad smell - like sewage -A piece of hair was found under bed sheets -The room had only 1 bed, there was no chairs or small table

This property is located within walking distance of all the attractions on the north end. That’s all I can say good. The rooms are certainly not what is pictured. Very uncomfortable bed, only provided with a sheet. No blanket or quilt. Only given 2 towels for a 6 day stay. Requested new towels 2 days before we were given towels with holes all in them. No wash cloth or floor mat. Cold showers as well. I will not stay here again or recommend this hotel to anyone else.

Do not stay in this hotel. There was no water in the hotel entire period of the time we stayed in there. Went to the beach and came back with wet clothes and no water to shower, or toilet can’t be used either. Such a horrible experience. Had to buy 5 water bottles each at $5 just to get by. Ughhhhh.

We just needed to unexpectedly crash for one night. This did the trick. It is close to everything we needed, AC and shower were working and it was OK for the price. It is very clean. We did not have hight expectations for 60USD/night.

The property was inexpensive at $110 CAD a night, it was clean & the staff responsive when I asked for a blanket (there were only sheets) & toilet paper. It was close to the beach & restaurants. The pictures are not representative of the space. It is very small & some of the lights do not work. One morning we had no water & the next - just cool water however at least we could shower. Our view was of a cement wall however we did have a balcony.

People are very kind, helpful. If you want a big resort, this isn’t for you, but if you want a clean place to stay across the street from the ocean, this is it, you are in the middle of everything, walking distance to everything. We had a private room with a large balcony. I stay last week and am headed back Wednesday for the rest of my trip. I love the island , the waters are absolutely beautiful, the locals are great.

The only nice thing was drinking water in the lobby. Room smelled toxic, like sewer entire time. Beds are full size, hard. All linens stained. No shampoo body wash, just one bar soap. No hair dryer, no bathroom shelf like advertised. Sliding glass outside to little balcony but you can see the outside. Most Electrical outlets do not work. Very noisy especially when raining, the rain guards create so much noise. One sheet to cover. False advertising!!!!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Low price is not worth it. Place is filthy. Dirty room, dirty sheets, dirty towels. Front desk tried to say it was oxidization, but other hotels in area that I’ve stayed at don’t have this issue. Pictures on web not accurate at all. Rooms are tiny, with absolutely no amenities. Place is cheap and location is great, but that’s the only good thing. Inoperable bathrooms. No manager on site to address issues. Place was inhabitable and hotel refused to refund our money without us being able to stay one night of our 5 night booking.

The room was extremely small, almost cruise ship size. The only window that opened was to a communal hallway so it couldn't be used. No matter how many times we asked for our room to be cleaned, it was only done 4 times in 10 days. There is not a single chair in the hotel in case you wanted to sit down. If you happen to be on Isla Mujeres and needed a place for 1 night it would be ok, but if you are staying for any lenght of time there are many better options available.

I stayed at this place before. It was totally clean. This time the ceiling in the shower had mold and the plaster was peeling. The towel racks looked crappy because of the color peeling. Yes this is small property but still should be taken care of.

Location was great. Close to coffee shop/breakfast, all restaurants and to beach. Room was clean and enough space. We were greeted with a smile at the front desk and check in process was simple. Doors to rooms are very thin. It would be nice if sliding glass doors open to outside sitting area.

Me gustó que mi habitacion tenia varios detalles y sin problema me asignaron otra. Es una habitacion con lo básico para dormir, pero a ISla no vas a un resort, vas a disfrutar de la Isla!!!! Serviciales, a 2 cuadras del ferry, a 1 cuadra de transportes. Muy cerca de comercios, comidas. Caminando a playa norte. Todo muy cerca y centrico! A 2 cuadras del oxxo, y justo al lado de un SIX para comprar cualquier cosa. Repetiria sin pensarlo en mi proximo viaje!!! Gracias!!!
