The water is pretty calm, so no putting up with massive waves. The pelicans stay a good distance away. There's so many options in staggering distance from this beach for bathrooms, cantinas, drinks, shade, whatever. This is the top end of isla mujeres (island of women.) The other end of Isla Mujeres, across the island from this beach is the easternmost point of Mexico! This beach is free. It's not associated directly with any hotel or restaurant, so anyone can come here, and they do.

One of the prettiest beaches I have ever been on. It's located on the leeward north edge of the…read moreisland and doesn't have huge waves. Shallow waters make it a perfect beach for enjoying both sand and surf. Many boats will pull up to this beach as well and people will get off and wade up to the beach restaurants/bars. We had minimal seaweed when we were there. Many of the beachfront hotels offer umbrellas and beach chairs. You do not have to be a guest of the hotel to use the umbrellas/chairs. They will charge approximately $150 MEX per chair and umbrella. Pay in Pesos. It cost us $450 for all three. That's only about $23 USD for all day so it's very affordable. The only downside is the constant flow of vendors selling everything from massages to trinkets, to beach towels. Don't be surprised if you see various forms of fully armed Mexican law enforcement. Bottom line - Beautiful beaches, soft sand, and perfect water. What more can you ask for.

Guru is a regular of mine when visiting Isla. It is the perfect place to relax on the beach and has…read moreexcellent service and facilities. The prices are fair and they provide everything you need to have a great beach (or pool) day. Their signature drink is a favorite of mine. I also enjoy their tuna tartare and guacamole, perfectly seasoned. Give them a try for low key, laid back relaxation.

The GURU beach club is in a great location and the overall service and food are good. However,…read moreguests should be aware that the club includes a SUGGESTED TIP on the RENTAL of beach beds. While tipping for service and food makes sense, it's unclear why a tip would be added to a simple bed rental, since no service is actually provided for that charge. For this reason, guests should double-check their receipts before paying to make sure they are only tipping for the services they actually received. ---- El club de playa GURU está en una excelente ubicación y el servicio y la comida son buenos. Sin embargo, los huéspedes deben saber que el club incluye una propina sugerida en el alquiler de las camas de playa. Aunque tiene sentido dejar propina por el servicio y la comida, no queda claro por qué se agrega una propina al simple alquiler de una cama, ya que no se brinda ningún servicio adicional por ese cargo. Por eso, se recomienda que los huéspedes revisen bien su recibo antes de pagar para asegurarse de que solo están dejando propina por los servicios realmente recibidos. ---- Le beach club GURU est très bien situé et le service ainsi que la nourriture sont bons. Cependant, les clients doivent savoir que l'établissement ajoute un pourboire suggéré sur la location des lits de plage. S'il est compréhensible de laisser un pourboire pour le service et la nourriture, il n'est pas clair pourquoi un pourboire est ajouté à la simple location d'un lit, étant donné qu'aucun service supplémentaire n'est fourni. Pour cette raison, il est conseillé aux clients de vérifier attentivement leur reçu avant de payer afin de s'assurer qu'ils ne laissent un pourboire que pour les services réellement reçus.

Central beach! This one isn't as nice as the North Beach…read moredown the way. This way it's situated leads to you facing away from the sea to face the afternoon sun. This beach is also a lot busier- it's the one that's closest to the ferry terminal, so you get a bunch of touristas who are looking for the first beach, not the best beach. There's plenty of restaurants and bars along here to keep anyone busy. The beach is well-kept, but full of hawkers and touts, people who wanna pester you to see if you wanna hold a monkey or a lobster or something. The nicest thing about this beach is you can look out on the waters and see the Hotel Zone of Cancun. Picturesque! If you go cutting through any of the restaurants or bars, you can access this. Nobody owns the beaches in Mexico, so you can walk where ever you wanna on this beach! The restaurants will let you use their restrooms if you buy a shot.

We ended up at a dead end where a friendly guy let us know we couldn't go any farther. That's when we noticed we discovered a restaurant perfectly situated near the water, and it turned out to be exactly what we were looking for. The setting is absolutely stunning. Picture crystal blue waters just a few feet from your table. It's the ideal spot to soak in the island vibes while enjoying a meal. The only small downside was the occasional vendor stopping by to sell something or sing, but they weren't pushy, so it didn't take away from the experience. I ordered the agua chile, which was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying, loaded with perfectly sautéed shrimp. To top it off, I enjoyed an ice-cold Michelob Ultra--such a refreshing pairing. We only had a few hours on the island, but we couldn't have picked a better place to eat by accident. Chimbos delivered delicious food, great service, and breathtaking views. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Isla Mujeres!
