Isla Mujeres guest houses

Matthew was an amazing host and his hospitality is really what makes this a great place to stay. Being a boutique hotel, we felt we had truly personalised service, as Matthew went out of his way to get to know us, stop and have a friendly chat and offer special little touches. He also gave us some fantastic recommendations, the kind you don’t get from larger hotels, which made all the difference. The room was beautifully beach-chic, clean and well presented, with everything we needed for our stay. The only down-side was that the room faced a relatively busy road traffic-wise which meant my light-sleeping wife couldn’t sleep-in (but didn’t really bother me). The hotel is somewhat out of the town centre which is perfect for anyone looking for a little more seclusion from other tourists. It’s a short and pleasant walk into town and to Playa Norte, and also cheap to travel around by taxi, which Mattew is more than happy to organise for you. In fact, the money you’ll save staying here over one of the beach-side hotels is more than enough to cover the cost of several taxis (at 50-100 pesos a trip, it’s very cheap!) and leaves you some spending money for good food and restaurants. The hotel also has the unique feature of being next to a disused airport runway which makes for a unique morning jog! There is also a beautiful view over the whole island from the rooftop terrace. We highly recommend a stay at Icaco Island Village. Thanks for everything Matthew!
