Looking for a romantic getaway, my boyfriend and I chose Isla Mujeres for its seclusion and laid back reputation. After spending days reading reviews online I picked the Ixchel Beach Hotel (on the North Beach), keeping in mind some of the negative things other people had said in their reviews. When we got off the ferry we made the mistake... more

We spent 4 days at the Hotel Ixchel, in a standard oceanview room. This hotel is perfectly situated on the beautiful Playa Norte. You cannot ask for a better location. It is within 1-2 blocks of town and many restaurants and bars. The staff at the hotel are very nice, attentive and extremely accomodating to any requests. Each building has... more

Overview: We loved the hotel, loved the island, loved the staff, loved the view ... it truly was perfect. In depth: We booked two ocean front, two bedroom suites through Travelocity three months early. A week before we left, we checked the hotel Web site and found out the suites were almost half price. Travelocity charged us a $25 fee... more

Well it's been a week since I returned home from my first trip ever to Mexico. I stayed at the Ixchel Beach Hotel in Units #2407 and 2408. I was there with my mother and my aunt for a full weeks stay. The rooms were magnificent. (Spacious, beautifully decorated, extremely clean with all the comforts of home) The Master room... more

We made a 2,5 week trip through Mexico and started in this hotel. We expected it to be quite luxurious but it wasn't really. It was ok but nothing special. The rooms are big but the bathroom is really small and the beds quite hard (which I normally like but these gave me pain in my back). On the other... more

We have used Vacation Rental by Owner several times for vacations in Mexico and have never been disappointed, once again we found a great place on one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen. We stayed in units 403 & 404 and the views were fantastic from sunrise to sunset, we saw more of the sunsets but did... more

This was our first vacation in many years. We had a basic hotel room that suited us just fine. Next time I would probably book through another site or directly from a condo owner because I think that we overpayed by going through travelocity. Better to go with islabeckons.com and get a room with a balcony for a better price.... more

As the other reviews state, this is NOT a hotel. You are paying the mortgage for someone who may or may not take care of their condo. We were originally put into room 301 which was fanstastic and we we would have been very happy with our experience. Then they woke us up early on our 2nd day and told... more

This is a fine apartment complex. It is not a hotel. The units are large and sparsely furnished. The modern furniture looks pretty cool, but doesn't really fit the beach. We had a penthouse suite, which I wouldn't spring for again. Get a regular room on a lower floor. The penthouse is on the seventh floor. Lots of elevator usage... more
