B&Bs in Isla Mujeres

Location is excellent! Room was spotless and daily cleaning offered. Great communication from the owners. Smart TV with Netflix, Disney+, etc. Working AC and fridge in the room. Balcony with sunbeds. Swimming pool. All Perfect! Great stay.

This property on Isla Mujeres is named as a hotel, but it feels more like an Airbnb or hostel. It’s essentially a shared house with individual rooms, each with a separate key. To rate this place fairly, one must compare it to similar accommodations in the area, though most reviewers (including myself) likely don’t have the chance to benchmark it this way. The Positives: The location is unbeatable – central, on a quiet street, and close to everything, including the best beach on the island (I explored the entire island during my stay). The Ultramar ferry is also just a 10-minute walk away. The artistic paintings on the walls make the property easy to spot. The owners/hosts were very welcoming and helpful, and check-in/check-out was straightforward with excellent communication. This adds a personal touch that enhances the experience. The Negatives: While the stay was enjoyable overall, there were some issues that left room for improvement: Ground Floor Bathroom: Unfortunately, this bathroom had a persistent bad smell, likely due to the shower drain being connected directly to the sewer. The water pressure in the shower was also low, and the temperature was just warm enough. Room Cleaning: While the room appeared clean at first, a glance under the bed revealed otherwise. A bit more attention to detail would make a big difference. WiFi Issues: Initially, the WiFi wasn’t working, and we were told the internet was down across the island. However, after some persistence, the local service provider fixed the issue. Multiple Keys: Navigating six keys to open three doors (including a private bathroom not directly connected to the room) might bother some guests. Upgrading to electronic programmable locks, as seen in other Latin American accommodations, would streamline this process and modernize the experience.

My husband and I stayed at Casa Alkimia Oceanfront for 2 days (then stayed at the other Alkimia House in town the other 2 days).The host Andrea greeted us outside and was very warm and welcoming. We were welcomed with 2 shots of tequila in our room! He showed us around and gave us wonderful tips and suggestions for our time in Isla Mujeres. The room was beautiful, simplistic with a breathtaking view of the Oceanfront. The cleaning staff was super nice and attentive. We we gave her our fresh caught Tuna fish and she was very grateful. Nothing like waking up to the sound of waves. The pool & view from the rooftop was amazing. There's also a nice sitting area in the front to enjoy. Overall, we had a great time. Highly recommended, 5 stars! Gracias por todo!

The location is very convenient, we were able to walk from the ferry with our very large over-packed luggage. During our stay we had no need to rent a golf cart, scooter or bike. Casa Alkimia is perfectly located, by foot, to Playa Norte, restaurants, cafes, street vendors and shopping. The modern, boutique hotel is well kept and very clean. We stayed in Room 6. The balcony is large and overlooks the street with a great view of the city. The bed, linens, towels and toiletries are all high quality. Giovanni met us when we checked in and was also onsite daily during our stay. Giovanni deserves 5 stars on his own!

A nice small family hotel in a good location nearby many goods restaurants and laundry. Also Playa Norte is only a short walk. The beds were comfortable and the staff was very helpful when we needed something. They enabled also early check-in. There was also drinking water available all the time.

Swimming pool, friendly owner, bike rental

We all loved Dora ( the dog) she came to collect the cheese tax everyday from us and we were happy to pay up!! The owner was really nice and helpful, the location was excellent. We took advantage of the terrace everyday.

The hosts were lovely and accommodating. The room I had was small but perfect for one person with a nice bathroom and a little desk. The little pool area is a nice place to relax. I was able to store my luggage until my flight. Location is only 15 min on the 12 peso colectivo bus to the public beaches and it is a very economical place to stay. The shared spaces are comfortable and stylish.

Beautiful shared space with the pool and a lot of plants. Room with direct access to the garden. Very nice hosts, taking much care of the property. Good location in the center of Cancun, but in a quiet place.

Just stayed for a night before flying somewhere else but it was not bad. The pool looked nice even that I didn’t use it. Wifi worked very well. The reception was very friendly.
