It was my first time to Isla Mujeres and it wont be my last. First of all, the hotel's location is…read moreperfect! Super close to the ferry and a 5 min walk to the bustling Hidalgo street. The property itself was so beautifully designed and clean. Since our trip was during covid, the hotel had several cleaning and screening processes when we got there. Now the part that made me really want to write a review... The was a tropical storm that was supposed to hit during our 1 week stay, the owner had their daughter, (family run hotel) take us to get food from the grocery just in case we couldn't leave the room. Offered us another nicer, newer room if the sounds of the winds bothered us too much (Our original room faced the ocean). Literally the most kind and accommodating people ever! My partner and I came here to celebrate our 1 year anniversary and his birthday and we had mentioned in passing to their daughter while on grocery run and when we got back, came to see a dozen roses, chocolates and a card in the room. Long story short, amazing experience, will come again.

I'd give this hotel a solid 3.5 star rating. It is nothing fancy but perfect and well priced for a…read morestay in beautiful Isla. I have stayed in many different rooms including garden, partial ocean view and on my latest stay a King Ocean Front Room. I have been staying here for 3 years. During my current stay, as you can see from the photos, my view was partially obstructed. There was a lounger out front of my room however I never got to use it due to it being taken by other guests the entire stay, not a huge issue. My room was never cleaned during my stay and I was there for 5 days. One day, a maid came by and gave me clean towels and took my trash. That is unacceptable and disappointing. Also, some sort of construction was going on and I was awoken to it or other loud staff every morning. Again, unacceptable. The staff also seemed to take a keen interest in what was going on in my room, to the point I could hear them outside my room snooping. The owners are lovely people and we come here to go fishing with Keen M, highly recommended. I hope they see this review and implement some much needed changes. If so, I'd happily update my review to 4.5 stars next trip.

Firstly, the hotel location is perfect- just two blocks away from the beach and three blocks around the corner from the main "downtown" street Calle Hidalgo, where the restaurants, bars, and shopping are on the north end of the island. The hotel is all ground floor, so it's super easy to get around with luggage. I felt completely safe in the hotel and there was plenty of street parking for golf cart and scooter rentals. The hotel rooms and grounds are beautiful, clean, comfortable and quiet. Our room had functional AC and hot water every day/night. The room also had a back patio with a laundry line which was really convenient for hanging wet beach clothes and towels! The spa, pool, and gym amenities were all top notch. The massage we got there with Gibran and Zely was completely relaxing. I truly couldn't recommend this property enough. Finally, the hotel management staff was so hospitable, friendly and helpful. Alex and Wendy made us feel so comfortable and helped with all of our needs. We ended up checking back into the hotel after a bad Air BNB experience and were so happy with our decision. Hotel Paradise Suites is simply amazing and I cannot wait to return and stay there!

In past stays on the island, we rented a golf cart and due to the location of this property, did not need to do so. Fantastic location. The front desk was closed, when we arrived, and had to get an on-site spa masseuse call the hotel manager so we could check-in. Once we connected with the manager, things went very smooth. We arrived to the room, we realized that It had two queen beds rather than the king bed that we reserved. Spoke to the manager and she advised that the rooms with king beds had broken ac. Special note- the manager, Alex, communicated very well, attentive to our needs and offered excellent customer service. She was impressive. The room was clean, large, with all accommodations "as advertised." We were impressed with the cleanliness of the room. It had a mini kitchen, medium sized fridge, and nice closet. The facility offered beach towels in addition to bathroom towels. The towels were of high quality and nice. Our first night, we experienced the ac not cooling well, notified Alex and she promptly addressed our concern and we were very happy. The pool was clean. Spa was not working. Area outside of our hotel room was clean and well-groomed for a tropical type setting. Love the occasional iguana's roaming freely through the area as this contributed to the positive experience. We understand that the price point of this hotel is on the lower end. Based on this we rated it as 4. The hotel is in a fantastic location. Do not expect luxurious accommodations. We would stay here again.

We only stayed here one night, then moved to the glamorous house she rented for the rest of the week. As we approached the hotel from the street, I realized it was SO close to the beach, very nice view and not noisy at all. The lobby area was clean and spacious, with a restroom right off the main room, as well as an area to leave your luggage (not secured). My room faced the beach. The patio had 2 chairs, just right for sipping your coffee before you head out. My room was clean and spacious, with two beds. I noticed, however that the door I thought would have been the door to enter, actually just led to an open space and I don't believe you can get to the office that way. So I came and went thru the sliding glass doors off the patio. The hotel has a nice pool and bar area. They even have a spa with outdoor massages (an enclosed area just off the pool). The bar area also serves as a restaurant but I didn't dine there. Like other reviewers, I didn't have hot water. Thankfully it was only the one night. The lobby staff's pleasantry was hit or miss. There was no one to help you with your bags. But if you're only staying one night and plan on being in the ocean most of the time, it will be alright.

They couldn't be more accommodating -so friendly and really bent over backwards to make sure you had a good time. The waiters in the restaurant were so fabulous especially Nicholas. Every morning he greeted us so warmly and treated us like old friends. Breakfast was simply fantastic from the fresh squeezed orange juice to tropical fruit to custom eggs and pancakes. The view and the peacefulness of sitting in the morning drinking coffee looking out at the sea and the beach was perfection. The aesthetics of the hotel was completely Zen-like and relaxing. Just an elegant simple spa like feel. I was relaxed from the minute I walked in the room. We stayed in the junior suite with plunge pool and I highly recommend that room. Having your own pool with a view of the beach and the ocean through the palm trees was just spectacular. I love the minimalist Decour everything was really comfortable and well done. The elevated yoga studio is really something to experience. The instructor was incredible and the 90 minute class was really a work out while being relaxing too. I took advantage of the Lotus spa and got a 90 minute massage with facial for US$85. It was one of the best services I received and I can't imagine being more relaxed. The private beach area is just perfect with the elevated platform beds and waiter service. I felt so pampered and my husband and I just could not get enough of that ocean water. So crystal-clear and well-maintained. It had such a relaxing atmosphere not at all the party scene I was afraid of. Definitely got a little loud at night with the nightclub next-door but the cement walls kept it manageable and not too troublesome Definitely take advantage of the golf cart rental and take a drive to the South point. See the shell house and the sites at the end of the island. Well worth it. The entire experience at NaBalam exceeded our expectations. We saw a few other hotels and locations and I think this is the best spot on the island. We can't wait to come back we're already planning our return. Romantic, relaxing and just perfect.

It was convenient to charge everything to the room and the menu variety and fresh ingredients could have one eat every meal onsite. The vegetation, decor and attention to detail like raked sand makes this a special, friendly and relaxing place to stay.

The sushi rice was mushy, sweet, and vinegary. The fire dessert tasted bad. The coconut ice cream was actually okay. So was the cracker thing they brought first. The fish from the fish and chips at the beach club was the juciest fish I ever had. The ceviche from the beach club was almost perfect. I drank the juice at the end. The drinks to get are the Pina Colada and the Miami Vice. The breakfast food from Sabor is pretty good. They don't have good gluten free substitutions. The bread that I got when I asked for it tasted weird and was hard. The yogurt toppings they have in the jars next to the cereal are stale. The parfait cups are good. They had beef fajita one day and it was amazing. The orange juice is good and fresh. Their poached eggs are acceptable. And I always got a hash brown. At the pool bar/restaurant, the nachos were perfect. We got to do the Mexican dinner at the beach club. It was not good. It was just bland and boring. I do think the all-inclusive is worth it. I jumped to food so let me go back to check-in and rooms. Check-in was kind of annoying bc we waited 30 minutes to get helped. They have 3 computers and some of the other guests can be pretty entitled, asking for a lot of different things and what not. They also didn't offer anything to make up for that even though we commented on it. There was a bellboy handing out champagne and wet towels. The room was pretty nice. It could use some rugs but otherwise pretty modern. We got an ocean view and there is a huge living room area that we didn't need. I would have liked to try room service but didn't get the chance. I don't know if anyone else mentioned this in their reviews but the hotel's beach club is on Playa Centro even though the name has Norte in it. That seems like a lawsuit (Mexico?) waiting to happen. So if you want to see the nice Norte beach, you need walk through a few other places on the beach. It can get tricky bc the beach cuts off at the corner. But a lot of people were doing it. There was a very rude gringo at the pool one time who was yelling at a staff worker. Nobody stepped in which pissed me off. I walked over to the staff worker to offer my complaint and support. I saw the gringo around in the days after but he didn't act that way again. But I sure was mean mugging him.

Update: After posting this review, I was contacted by the Assistant Director and met with Javier at…read morecheckout. He was professional, genuinely apologetic, and handled the conversation the way a hospitality manager should. He listened, acknowledged the issues, and de-escalated appropriately. It's clear he's been trained well. I want to give credit where it's due. My complaints about Andres stand, but Javier restored some of my faith that the hotel's leadership understands how guests should be treated. I really wanted to like Privilege Aluxes. Isla Mujeres is beautiful and we were looking forward to a relaxing few days. Unfortunately, this hotel made that difficult at nearly every turn. We booked a four-night stay and were placed in a suite that shared a wall with what I can only assume was a nightclub. The music was deafening, going until 4am one night and around midnight on others. Not exactly the peaceful beach vacation we had in mind. We were also told a complimentary bottle of liquor would be delivered to our room. It never came, and we never bothered following up because by that point we had bigger concerns. At check-in, we let the front desk know my wife has a gluten intolerance. They wrote it down. That was the last time anyone seemed to remember. Every restaurant on the property tried to serve her items with gluten. Staff could not tell us what was safe to eat and confidently told her certain dishes were fine when they absolutely were not. She spent most of the trip eating chips and guacamole because she was genuinely afraid of getting sick. For a resort that specifically asks about allergies, the lack of communication between the front desk and the kitchen was honestly dangerous. The most frustrating part came when we tried to extend our stay by one night. The acting manager, Andres, quoted us $800. I showed him the hotel's own website listing the same suite at $662 and a standard room at $451. He shrugged and told us we should book online if it was cheaper because he could not help us. So we booked through Expedia. The next morning we were told we had to leave the property for three hours between checkout and check-in, despite this being a continuous reservation at the same hotel. We could see rooms listed as available online. When we brought this up, he claimed nothing was open. It felt like retaliation for not paying his inflated rate. No offer of late checkout. No early check-in. Not even a suggestion to use the pool or beach while we waited. Just be out by noon. I calmly explained that our experience had not been great and that this could be a chance to turn things around. He was completely uninterested. On top of all this, the bartender at the Playa Norte beach club was rude every time we interacted with him. The service overall felt undertrained and indifferent. I do not write reviews like this often, but I would hate for someone else to spend this kind of money and walk away feeling the way we did. There are other hotels on Isla Mujeres that will treat you better.
