    Perfect spot for 3 nights on Isla Mujeres
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Deluxe King Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Higher room requires several stairs (just be aware if you have an injury). No breakfast or coffee included, but there is a little cafe attached (and plenty of nearby options!)

    Wonderful host greeted us upon arrival and gave advice about activities and restaurants on Isla Mujeres. Perfect location near walk street and beaches but still quiet (because the rooms face away from the noise). Comfortable bed, strong AC, nice design of room. Free water refill. One block to walk street. Three blocks to west beach (our preference) or north beach (everyone else's preference). Free bag storage before or after stay. Really recommended!

    Best location. 1 street over from restaurants, bars, shopping. It is not ocean front which for us was ok. Walking distance from ferry AND beach. Has beach chairs and umbrellas for use. Very safe. Host met us and gave us the 411 on Isla. Super nice guy. Small breakfast place in front. Try the green juice.....Overall great value, good matress, good A/C, good hot water, extremely clean, great location.

    We can not rate this place enough. The location is amazing and room was spot on. The owner Majdid went above and beyond with explaining the local areas and all the good spots to eat. They also have a great little cafe/restaurant attached that has an amazing breakfast. Would go back here in a heart beat. If it's avaliable then book it. You won't regret it!

    Wifi was a 7/10, so working all the time but not really fast or a strong signal but gut enough for 720p YouTube.

    Very nice room, especially the big bed and AC as well as the well sized bathroom were highlights.

    If I’m looking to pick on something: They say they want to conserve water but they came into our room every day and changed the towels we hung up to reuse.

    They knew roughly when to expect us because the second we arrived someone came to let us in and show us our room and explain everything. As long as you look at a map this place was pretty easy to find as it’s on a main road. Walked from the ferry and it took maybe 5 min. Bed is SO comfy. The kitchenette was so useful, we used the fridge to keep leftovers and the microwave to warm it up later. The air con was perfect. Loved the soap and shampoo. They offer towels, umbrellas and chairs for the beach though we didn’t use it. The location really is perfect. We didn’t hear party noise at all at night but we’re just down the street from all the bars/restaurants/market. We got a great vibe from the place. We decided to dive with Squalo Divers and they are literally 1 min down the street so that ended up being even more convenient!! Hot Tip: apparently these sites don’t always reflect the availability well. Contact Madjid directly via his website to book if you want the best price and to double check availability!

    There were too many mosquitoes for comfort. We got many bites. My husband spent an hour clapping his hands and got 4 mosquitoes in our room. A friendly local recommended Off! Mosquito repellant.

    The host, Madjid, is the best! He is very welcoming and made great recommendations for where to go and what to do. He cooks a delicious, wholesome breakfast as well. :) The location is fantastic - quiet street super close to restaurants, shops, and the beach. Don't forget to bring cash! We stayed at a resort before this and spent most of our cash. This was the first place that requested to be paid in cash, but I didn't read carefully. Madjid accommodated me with PayPal, which I really appreciated. :)

    Owner was very friendly and helpful, as soon as we arrived he took the time to provide some information about the Island and recommendations. The place is located 5min walking distance from one of Mexico's most beautiful beach Playa Norte. There's also lots of cute shops and restaurants right around the corner from the hotel. We highly recommend to visit Isla Mujeres and stay at Elements of the Island.

    Great place, near center but not noisy like in the main street. Owner is really great and helpful person. They have own cafeteria with really good breakfast. I think it was the best choice for us. Thank you for this experience.

    Wherever you go on the island, loud music is constantly blaring out from bars and cafes, and as the apartments are so close to many of these, you can hear it in the room until 1 or 2 am, which often made it hard to sleep. Fortunately we could sleep during the day instead, but I feel sorry for local residents who have to endure it all the time.

    The location is just a short walk from the ferry, Playa Norte, Playa Secreto, the market, shops and restaurants , and the east and west Malecons, so you don’t even have to get up super early in order to catch the sunrise as the beach is only 5 minutes away. The owner Madjid was so welcoming and gave us lots of advice about restaurants and places to go, even though we arrived an hour earlier than expected, and it was his day off! Everything we needed was supplied: fridge, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, a tank of drinking water, even beach towels and beach chairs (we have never had that before!). Housekeeping every day, even though it is an apartment not a hotel room, and spotlessly clean. Majdid runs the cafe too, open until midday, offering various different breakfasts, which seemed very popular with guests as well as other island visitors too. There’s a rooftop area above the cafe with table, chairs, hammock and shower - great for relaxing in the shade in the heat of the day if you don’t want to sit on the beach or in the apartment. There’s a limited number of things to do on Isla Mujeres and if we hadn’t been made so comfortable here, we would have tired of the island long before our five day stay had ended. Thank you, Madjid!

    The shower water pressure is so-so but that is often the case in Mexico.
