Isla Mujeres is a small island off the coast near Cancun. It is very laid back, and we have been able to completely relax after a rather stressful couple of weeks. We haven't been here very long, but already are so 'at home'.
The marina is lovely. It only has space for a handful of boats, but it is also a small hotel, so there are lots of people wandering around. It is one of the prettiest properties I think I have ever seen, with little nooks and corners scattered around, and muskoka chairs strategically placed beneath huge coconut palms. The pool is completely shaded too, which at first seems odd. But when you think about it, it is such a brilliant idea...with temperatures in the high 90s and humidex over 100, nobody wants to be in the sun.
There's a movie theatre with a huge projection screen and air conditioning, a games room and book exchange, bbqs and grills, and a fully equipped kitchen which we are welcome to use. Two outdoor showers with giant shower heads are my personal favourite.
Brightly coloured tiles decorate everything....tables and counters, walls, and of course the staircases.
And the staff are fabulous. Every day someone comes by to make sure everything is OK, and they will all go out of their way to make sure that everything is perfect.
Love this place already. I may never want to leave!!
