    Not a single thing to complain about.

    Everything was perfect! The hospitality, comfort, peacefulness, and location were better than expected. We always had cold A/C, warm showers, clean towels, and a comfortable bed. Our hosts were so kind. We will be back!

    We can not rate this place enough. The location is amazing and room was spot on. The owner Majdid went above and beyond with explaining the local areas and all the good spots to eat. They also have a great little cafe/restaurant attached that has an amazing breakfast. Would go back here in a heart beat. If it's avaliable then book it. You won't regret it!

    Nothing- it was perfect!

    Mahjid was exceptionally welcoming and kind, and spent so much time sharing places we could visit.  The room was perfect, the courtyard was lovely, and the breakfasts were delicious.  It was on a great street, one street over from the really busy main street, and more traditional.  A 5 to 7 minute walk to the beach. Simply a perfect location with a great vibe.

    Wifi was a 7/10, so working all the time but not really fast or a strong signal but gut enough for 720p YouTube.

    Very nice room, especially the big bed and AC as well as the well sized bathroom were highlights.

    If I’m looking to pick on something: They say they want to conserve water but they came into our room every day and changed the towels we hung up to reuse.

    They knew roughly when to expect us because the second we arrived someone came to let us in and show us our room and explain everything. As long as you look at a map this place was pretty easy to find as it’s on a main road. Walked from the ferry and it took maybe 5 min. Bed is SO comfy. The kitchenette was so useful, we used the fridge to keep leftovers and the microwave to warm it up later. The air con was perfect. Loved the soap and shampoo. They offer towels, umbrellas and chairs for the beach though we didn’t use it. The location really is perfect. We didn’t hear party noise at all at night but we’re just down the street from all the bars/restaurants/market. We got a great vibe from the place. We decided to dive with Squalo Divers and they are literally 1 min down the street so that ended up being even more convenient!! Hot Tip: apparently these sites don’t always reflect the availability well. Contact Madjid directly via his website to book if you want the best price and to double check availability!

    There were too many mosquitoes for comfort. We got many bites. My husband spent an hour clapping his hands and got 4 mosquitoes in our room. A friendly local recommended Off! Mosquito repellant.

    The host, Madjid, is the best! He is very welcoming and made great recommendations for where to go and what to do. He cooks a delicious, wholesome breakfast as well. :) The location is fantastic - quiet street super close to restaurants, shops, and the beach. Don't forget to bring cash! We stayed at a resort before this and spent most of our cash. This was the first place that requested to be paid in cash, but I didn't read carefully. Madjid accommodated me with PayPal, which I really appreciated. :)

    Wherever you go on the island, loud music is constantly blaring out from bars and cafes, and as the apartments are so close to many of these, you can hear it in the room until 1 or 2 am, which often made it hard to sleep. Fortunately we could sleep during the day instead, but I feel sorry for local residents who have to endure it all the time.

    The location is just a short walk from the ferry, Playa Norte, Playa Secreto, the market, shops and restaurants , and the east and west Malecons, so you don’t even have to get up super early in order to catch the sunrise as the beach is only 5 minutes away. The owner Madjid was so welcoming and gave us lots of advice about restaurants and places to go, even though we arrived an hour earlier than expected, and it was his day off! Everything we needed was supplied: fridge, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, a tank of drinking water, even beach towels and beach chairs (we have never had that before!). Housekeeping every day, even though it is an apartment not a hotel room, and spotlessly clean. Majdid runs the cafe too, open until midday, offering various different breakfasts, which seemed very popular with guests as well as other island visitors too. There’s a rooftop area above the cafe with table, chairs, hammock and shower - great for relaxing in the shade in the heat of the day if you don’t want to sit on the beach or in the apartment. There’s a limited number of things to do on Isla Mujeres and if we hadn’t been made so comfortable here, we would have tired of the island long before our five day stay had ended. Thank you, Madjid!

    Everything was perfect, no complaints at all

    Madjid was the kindest and most helpful host. When we met him he gave us a map of the island with loads of recommendations. The room is in the best location close to everything and was just perfect. It really made our trip staying here! The host is so welcoming with the cutest little cat. Monica who greeted us with our keys was also lovely and was waiting outside for us even though we were later than expected. Room was cleaned every day and WiFi was excellent too!

    Fantastic boutique hotel! The room is so beautiful and comfortable. It got cleaned every day and had a beautiful terrace. The best thing is it's location. It is super central to everything. Main bar/restaurant street is one block away, the north beach and ferry station just 5-10 min walk away but yet it is SUPER quiet. We slept wonderfully. Madrid was super kind and gave us a great introduction of the island with great tips and recommendations. As I had to work a couple of days, the wifi connection was very important to us and it worked perfectly. Best place to stay in Isla mujeres❤️

    I stopped writing reviews a while back because most just don’t seem real anymore. I make an exception here because the owner with whom we dealt, Madjid, provides such a great and thoughtful place to stay on the northern end of Isla Mujeres at such a great price. Perfect location (unless you want beach views) with great breakfast/lunch restaurant on site. Nice thick garden which gave privacy to our ground floor unit. I am a big guy and the bed was easily the most comfortable I slept on during our travels about the peninsula. Our room, which included a small fridge and kitchenette, was clean, spacious, and well laid out. The bathroom was a little tighter but had a nice large shower with good water pressure. Madjid was a pleasure to meet, very informative and helpful, but appropriately scarce. Wish we’d had a bit more time there.
