Had a wonderful 4 night stay at Izla Hotel! The room was just as pictured, and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was spacious, and the shower was great! There are 2 restaurants on site, but we only ordered breakfast 1 morning at the rooftop pool. The food and service were good. The rooftop pool is 21+ at all times, while the main pool is open to all. Both pools have bars. The drinks were kind of expensive (I saw someone pay $21 for a Titos and soda) , but there is a 2 for 1 happy hour in the afternoon/evening. I only had 2 issues - some of the front desk staff wasn't very helpful. The first night, the woman at the front helped us with a dinner recommendation, and even called to see what time they close. A few days later we had other questions and the person at the desk was absolutely no help. It felt like they weren't even willing to hear our questions out before saying no. The 2nd issue was that we ended up being charged more. They said it's because of the conversion rate, but $80 is a pretty big difference and that didn't really make sense to me.

Shame on the management and reservations team at this hotel! We were confirmed by the hotel via email way ahead of our trip that my room would be connected to my friend's room (they had the presidential suite). However upon arrival that connecting room wouldn't be available for my first night but was supposed to be available for me the rest if our trip. So on the 2nd day I packed all my stuff and went to the registration desk to get the key to the connecting room and all of a sudden that room was not available! Spoke with the manager who didn't have any good rationale except "it's just not available there's another person reservation in that room now". So basically they sold that room for a higher price to another individual! Unacceptable! So I had to stay in my original room for the rest of my trip and was not close by to my friends! This hotels staff is also rude, extremely SLOW, unhelpful, and sub-par to many other places I've stayed. My room did not have a refrigerator, no robe or slippers. The coffee maker was crap! And the website is extremely deceiving (pictures are not accurate representation). Some of the pools were cloudy. There are a few pro's to this place and I will list them below: All the rooms face the ocean in some way, this hotel is on quieter side of island which is nice if your not looking to be woken up all night, but that does mean your about a 15 min drive from all the fun stuff (beaches, excursions, shopping, dining). There's a few walkable places to eat near the hotel. The food at the hotel was ok, nothing impressive.

Quesadilla was AMAZZING

The staff was amazing and very welcoming!! The beach was absolutely STUNNING! The hotel is situated on a more quiet part of the island and it was so peaceful. We stayed in the king ocean view with a balcony tub and the view was to die for!! Very clean, lots of space and the soaps were Bulgari!

Amazing snack , drink and great view

Eduardo, Alejandro and Roberto are amazing at this hotel ! Must see at the rooftop sky lounge or in the cafe for lunch or dinner ! Great service and accommodating. We did try the nicer restaurant that starts with an N on site but wasn't super impressed but I will say the portions were very large , the service staff was amazing , the ribeye was just not as flavorful or impressive. I would definitely go back and try it again though on my next visit . I love this hotel it is my favorite to stay at when I visit the island !

Disgusting manmade beach
Indra Z.

We came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We request to do something but the woman in front desk (Griselda) was completely uncooperative. After 4 days of annoyance we decide to buy some stuff for our snacks. Sadly our experience in this hotel hasn't been good and the food and service is poorly executed. The staff here at the Izla hotel has zero hospitality and poor training and somewhat rude. I'm not expecting anything, just to put the truth out there(our experience). The poorly manmade beach could be at least clean. They don't even say good morning! You have to ask several times for something, you're practically ignored; they bother you in your room even with the DO NOT DISTURB button. We wait for almost an hour for every bill. They allow strange people smuggling protected sea animals right on the beach. We experienced some brutality of "fishermen" killing the caracoles and starfishes right in front of us, to sell them, and when we call the staff they didn't do anything ! All they say was "that's how people here make their living" Other guests didn't seem bother by this activity and that was shocking! We still have some days left here and I'm trying to interact the least possible with the staff, since they're not helpful or respectful. For sure we won't be back. I know is not the Four Seasons, but it's not a cheap hotel either. Actually is expensive, they charge you in advance 15% tip on everything even when the sold and service is bad. It has a lot of potential but it's staff needs a lot training in hospitality. And at least basic training in customer service! And yes, is, I think it's normal to expect a better service because you're paying to rest, and enjoy. Not be disturbed. We were ejected from the pool. (That actually is constantly murky, visible debris.) For drinking our own beer and eating Cheetos. After enduring people smoking next to us, when is suppose to be a not smoking hotel. El capitán de meseros totally rude, said that this is a consumer place, therefore to be there you have to consume their products. Or go do it in your room. After I got sick from their food/ or drinks the house keeping didn't clean up the toilet. Not even the shower, and request to be clean twice! Is there anything good about this place? Yes, the bed is comfortable and the room is nice with AC. The moisture is horrible. The room floors are constant damp. You have to clean after you, or request cleaning more than 3 times! To me, not worth it to pay that much money. I'm so done with this place and it's staff. But still have some days here, so I gotta spend it in my room avoiding rudeness form the employees or out of the premises. The language barrier makes it harder, particularly for my husband (American). I'm Mexican and my first language is Spanish. So I understood when they were being mean to him. To use the beach beds you need to pay extra 50dlls! Maybe we just had really bad luck. I'm VERY dissatisfied and disappointed of the treatment we got here.

Izla Hotel erroneously double charged me for a stay in June 2022. Hotel staff investigated and confirmed by email that they owed me the $1800, but management never processed the refund and soon after began to ignore my calls & emails. A year later, they still have an extra $1800 from my stay. With so many other options available for your stay, why risk this type of management behavior on your vacation?

Worst "beach"

DO NOT STAY HERE! The room was nice. That's about all the nice things I have to say. We were swindled into a "deal" for a room with a private mini pool and beach access. The mini pool was always dirty, still, freezing cold water, while the beach was the same access as anyone to their nasty excuse for a beach. It's a man made beach. When you go in the water it squishes like mud or slime. It's ironic because if you go to the North side of the island, Playa Norte is one of the top ten beaches in the world. There's absolutely no reason why anyone would or should stay there. Any of the hotels right on Playa Norte are similarly priced and waaaayyy better. The drinks from the bar were insanely priced, I spent over 800 pesos on 2 drinks. Our shower had mold growing everywhere and I had to ask 3 times before they kinda cleaned it. This hotel is not worth it at all considering all the options on North Beach where the nice beach, restaurants and night life are actually at.

Checked into Izla Hotel for two nights. It's a beautiful hotel! As soon as you enter they greet you with a non-alcoholic drink (usually a fruit), check in then they help you up to your room. The rooms are very BIG! Our room had two queen beds, and the restroom was huge! It has a walk in shower, and the restroom had its own little room. Security box, ac, tv and room service. They have two pools. One on the rooftop for adults only and the downstairs pool is for families. Both very nice! The beach is BEAUTIFUL! During this season we had it all to ourselves. We enjoyed the cabanas. They have great drinks! Our server Russell was awesome. He made me drinks off the menu. Passion fruit, tamarindo, and strawberries. All super fresh with natural sugars! The REAL deal. I recommend asking for him. Last, the food is a hit or mess. Some plates are delish and others are okay.

Me enjoying the hotel restaurant.

Wonderful boutique hotel on the fabulous island. This hotel was great. The staff were amazing, and went above, and beyond to be accommodating. The entire hotel was spic & span! The pools were amazing, and the little small beach was nice as well. They have two pools, and two bars. One upstairs for adults only, which has a beautiful view of the water! This hotel is wonderful for a nice getaway with a special someone. Very grateful & blessed for Izla Hotel- Thank you!

View from rooftop

Place is amazing. Great room, pools, food and staff. I will stay here again whenever I return to Isla.

Beautiful hotel 15 minutes away from downtown Islas. Service was awesome. I would definitely stay here again

Sunset rooftop deck

Amazing experience for our family! From the moment we arrived greeting us with cocktails to numerous conversations at the front desk up until departure, they were so helpful and kind! It was truly a luxury resort, complete with massages for our family at poolside with guacamole and cocktails, haircut, manicure's and pedicure's, and spectacular food! The brunch was fantastic! And the prices for everything, including dinner, are reasonable. Daniela at the front desk was so nice. Ilisa was so sweet and gave great care in the spa/ beauty salon. Oedaloa was great and my daughter fell in Love with Vincente cause he was so dang charming. Other great staff that deserve recognition are Roberto, Monica, Sharanye, Karen, Andrea, Osvaldo, Ixchel, Juvenceo Salgado, and Juliana in the gift shop.

Isla Mujeres

Casa de los Sueños (House of Dreams): Must book if you are looking for a reasonable boutique hotel!…read moreIt is located next to a private residence and also the 5-star Impressions Hotel (Hyatt). Once you stay here, you have options to rent bicycles (complimentary) and golf carts from here. I highly recommend getting one of the golf carts from here, as they book out fast. Otherwise, you will have to go downtown to rent them for an hourly rate or daily fee. The hotel has a relationship with Kin Ha beachfront restaurant, which is below the hotel. It is not connected, so you must travel down the stairs and cross the side road to enter the Kin Ha beachfront restaurant for complimentary breakfast (any entree with one simple coffee or juice). You can also lay out at their beach club, which has complimentary kayaking, snorkeling, and paddleboarding (tipping recommended). The rooms are grand and colorful. The pool and ocean views are amazing. There are 13 rooms in this boutique hotel. I was advised that the best rooms here are Grace, Love, and Serenity. You must notify the front desk if you want your room cleaned. Otherwise, you can request items/amenities (even a beach towel) from the front desk. Some other things to note here are the laundry room and jewelry/hat store. The options are a bit limited compared to downtown. Why Casa de los Sueños? This isn't just a place to sleep--it's an integral part of the island (Isla Mujeres) experience. There is someone always to greet you in the lobby. I felt safe throughout my stay here.

Hotel La Joya is absolutely perfect!!!…read more Location - it's off the beaten track and not located in the Playa Norte strip area, but that makes it so much more special in my opinion. Taxi rides from the center were 78pesos each way. Rooms - we stayed in room #1 which I picked specifically after viewing all the rooms on their website. Our room featured a private balcony and view of the whole property. The wifi signal wasn't always strong in the room, but who needs internet 24/7 on vacation!! Grounds - the grounds were beautiful. Everything from the pool, sun deck, private beach cove were everything I could ever hoped for! Staff - super awesome and willing to accommodate our requests. Our first night we were too tired to venture out and find food so we ate at the hotel. The chef brought our dinner to our hotel balcony which made it that much more special. Every night they made sure we had what we needed, more wine glasses, wine opener etc (we kept bringing back bottles each night lol). They were more than happy to call us taxis when we needed them at specific times. Prices - at $100 a night it's more than affordable!!! We are already planning our next trip back, that's how much we loved this hotel and the island on the whole!!!

You wouldn't think it is a resort looking at it from the outside. Okay well I was still wing a little optimistic about the place. We arrived and it is is all open. Nothing glamorous about the entrance. There is one check in desk with one person. The wait was long to get checked in and to our room. It is old you can tell but for me that's not too important as long as the customer service is on point. We got shown to our room and the room was so refreshing it was cold and clean. The mini bar was all inclusive big plus. We got the room facing the pool. Very nice view the pool is pretty big. Not so new but still nice. Food: It usually is buffet style but that was closed and that sucked!!!! You had to order off a menu and the staff wasn't quite on point with the service only but a few were. In the morning they come to you with a cart full of fruit yogurt oats granola and pan dulce sweet bread. However they don't announce what else they have on the cart. We missed out on homemade juices. Pretty upset by that. We only knew because we saw someone drinking a green cleanse drink and so we asked. The food from the ceviche hut was good it's not heavy just right. But our server had the worst service. Was a little on the flustered side maybe overworked but he also was knowledgeable on the areas around the hotel which he should be. Staff: There a few good nice ones and the other few just plain rude. The hotel lacked a lot of supplies and food. No ingredients for mojitos, no straws, no plastic cups, or other things that a hotel should carry. They close all the bars and restaurants at 7! Really what is that. However the room service staff was great they went above and beyond. We complained and the only thing to make us feel better they put flowers on the floors maybe on our anniversary or honeymoon. But that was not good enough. I would not return to this place again nor will I recommend it to friends. This is more for older couples who want no noise or a party seen. It is a quiet place to relax.

We have loved our stay here! We got the all inclusive package and they seriously keep the food and…read morethe drinks coming all day and night!!! You definitely get your money's worth here.

We really tried for 3 nights to see the positives over the negatives. We arrived at about 8-9 pm and were walked to our room (not the beautiful ocean view room we booked) and were left without any communication- (what the WiFi password was, where the front desk is, who to contact if we had a problem- you know, normal hotel stuff). We were not given the room we booked until we expressed our frustration that the hot and humid bathroom was separated from the room by a very hot and humid hallway, the sliding door did not lock unless 2 people pulled it together and locked it with some creativity, the wiring in the outlets and fan in the ceiling looked like they were going to light the place on fire . We went to have breakfast the next morning, and ordered food - the listing on Bookings.com says "breakfast included in the price of the room" we got charged for breakfast. (The breakfast they include is a "continental breakfast" toast, butter, jam, coffee, juice- while everyone else around you eats eggs and potatoes from the menu). If you want to carry a block of wood on a rope with 4 keys on it so you can fumble through the keys every time you get to your door, then you should stay here. We basically would have to bring a big enough bag to the beach for a place to keep the keys . The staff is very suspicious of you if you decide to put your food bill on your tab so you can pay it all at the end. They kept bothering us to make us pay for the whole 5 days at the hotel even though they already had my credit card info. They thought we were going to leave without paying (because other people have done that to them) so we were treated like we were going to steal from them. The ironic part about it- the first day we were there- our bags were dug through by the cleaning staff. There is no safe in the room - and this is not our first trip out of the country- we kept all of our passports/cash/credit cards/phones, etc on us at all times... so nothing that we noticed was missing. It was obvious to me that they had been in my bag, because the way they zipped it is not the way I ever zip my bag- two, too perfectly placed zipper loops right on top- nope- I zip both zippers all the way to one side so the zippers aren't visible. Nothing was missing- so I didn't complain- what would I say- they were allegedly looking for stuff to allegedly steal? If you don't speak Spanish- DON'T STAY HERE! I understand enough Spanish to know the content and subject of the conversation... Many of the employees speak English to you, but when conveying the message about you/your room/your food to each other - in front of you, they speak Spanish. Even the owner -Ana- speaks English to your face, but when another employee (who also speaks English) brought our tab for the food- they spoke in Spanish about our bill/us/our situation . Very rude. Bottom line- there are much nicer places to stay- for less money, where you will be given better service (anything is better than no service at all!)

Horrible hotel stay!! This hotel has terrible hospitality!…read moreWe stayed here a week and let me tell you, don't waste your money here! Staff is very rude. The owner, Keen is even worse and will not address problems you may have. Hotel is due for a major remodel. We tried to order drinks and food at the pool bar several times and could not get service ever. I don't know why they even have a bar, which is tiny and falling apart. The continental breakfast consisted of 2 plates of rotting fruit, a juice box and some type of stale bread. Was terrible! The towels they give you for the pool are so old and thin and barely covered half of our chairs. Also several of the beach umbrellas were broken and the staff was never around to fix them or change them out. They don't maintain the outside landscaping well at all. The lobby restroom was not clean and you could hardly fit inside to use the toilet as you are shoved up against a wall. They have several animals at this hotel and the barking dogs were quite annoying early in the morning when we were trying to sleep. I think they belong to the staff that lives there because we complained and they were very annoyed by our complaint and did nothing.
