The Boat House Cancun, hotel in Isla Mujeres

Located conveniently in the center of Cancún, The Boat House Cancun has air-conditioned rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge.

It’s labeled as a “bed and breakfast” but they only served coffee and tea in the morning. Not a big deal for us but would have been if we were counting on it. The room is very small but served its purpose fine. Not a lot of sound barrier so people up later in the evening and earlier in the morning talking were easy to hear. But people were overall respectful. The “private bathroom” wasn’t truly private. Shared with one other room. Wasn’t a big deal for us but I think that’s because the other room wasn’t occupied. It could have been a problem if we needed to shower quickly in the morning to get somewhere at a specific time, but we didn’t. You did have to leave your room and use a key to get into the bathroom. We also had to pay extra for 2 additional pillows (4 total) and for a blanket (our bed only had a sheet on it). It wasn’t a big fee, but I feel that having a blanket on a bed is pretty standard. Great stay for the price point, but if you want a true B&B with a true private bathroom, you might look elsewhere.

Xtabentun Hostal, hotel in Isla Mujeres

Xtabentun Hostal is well set in Cancún, and features an outdoor swimming pool, free WiFi and a bar.

I liked the swimming pool layout, the guests, the staff, the bar downstairs, the location, I liked how close it was to the La Palapas park, I love fish and there's a place there that sells a nice fish dinner with rice for great value. I liked how central it was to everything, I took the bus to the beach. I liked that the crowd was more mature. I liked the cleanliness. I liked the bathroom.

    Very nice facilities and great location: in town but not along the main street (which would be very loud), straight line walk to north beach in a few minutes and a less than 10min walk to the ferry. The hostel grounds and shared facilities are very nice and everything is recently done up and well looked after. The dorm beds are very comfy even if a little bit claustrophobic.

    Great location. Hostel backs onto the beach so you have great views. The morning activities were great- I did yoga and Tai chi. Blackout bunk curtains and comfy beds.

    The property was beautiful. Upon arrival, we got upgraded to a higher end room with a kitchen and private bathroom. The king bed was very comfortable and the room had fantastic air conditioning. The hostel is in an excellent location, around a 10 minute walk from the ferry and within 5 minutes of the beautiful North Beach. I loved the daily schedule of fitness classes and Spanish lessons. I felt very safe and the front desk staff were extremely helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

    Great location, lovely room, decent hot shower, super comfy bed and the safe even had a charging point inside so we could leave phones and other devices on charge safely while we were out. When we arrived, we spotted that the window on our room didn't lock - we let the reception know and they moved us to another room without issue rather than waiting for their handman. Staff are all lovely too, we extended our stay as we liked it so much.

    The room has an amazing view of the beautiful carribean sea and is in a great location. It's safe to swim on this beach and it's lovely to walk up and down Playa Norte. Sunset right here is also a bonus. This room had an amazing shower and bathroom equipped with a hair-dryer.
