perfect
Pros:

I visited with a friend, and then again by myself. The staff were very helpful, and incredibly welcoming and warm and attentive. The dive shop was also great, offering me a quick refresher and taking care of me in the water. Receptionists were open, chatty and gave recommendations of local eateries and local beaches that we otherwise wouldnt have found..

Cons:

nothing

It was the best weekend trip I’ve ever taken
Pros:

This place has great vibes an amazing staff. It’s right on the beach there are baby turtles. The facilities are nice. It’s in an amazing location, family friendly, super relaxing.

Cons:

I would just add more hooks in the rooms to hang stuff on. I would line the walls with them because there’s not a lot of furniture in there and it’s a beach town.

Pros:

Una bellissima struttura nel centro di Isla Mujeres. Abbiamo usufruito della piscina, delle colazioni e anche di qualche lezione yoga (era tutto incluso nel prezzo che abbiamo pagato). Il personale è stato disponibile e la zona in cui sorge l'albergo è molto bella... Perché è proprio davanti una riserva naturale dove le tartarughe vengono a deporre (abbiamo visto tanti piccoli di tartaruga, è stato emozionante) ed è anche pochi passi da playa Norte. La consigliamo vivamente!

Cons:

Le stanze sono poco insonorizzate quindi quando un vicino rientra (ed è rumoroso come quello che avevamo noi) senti tutto, è come stare nella stessa stanza. In più avrei voluto avere qualche scelta in più per la colazione: ci sono solo 5 o 6 opzioni disponibili per chi ha colazione inclusa, quando in realtà sul menu ce ne sono molte in più. Ma chiaramente sono piccolezze rispetto al fatto che la struttura è molto bella. Però se devo trovare qualche malus sono questi due.

צוות בלתי נסבל, מתקטננים על כל דבר וגובים ממך כסף נוסף בצ׳ק אין בקבלה מעבר למה ששילמתם פה חדר קטן וצפוף ומלא אנשים עם מק
Pros:

מיקום טוב

Cons:

צוות בלתי נסבל, מתקטננים על כל דבר וגובים ממך כסף נוסף בצ׳ק אין בקבלה מעבר למה ששילמתם פה
חדר קטן וצפוף ומלא אנשים עם מקלחת ושירותים אחד בלבד שגם הם בלי ממש זרם
אנשים פשוט לא נחמדים ונכיר שאכפת להם יותר מהכסף ופחות מהחוויות שהות שלך

Posizione centralissima e bella struttura!
Pros:

La posizione è centralissima, sia rispetto a Playa Norte che ai principali ristoranti e servizi. Spettacolare i nidi di tartarughe nella spiaggia della struttura

Sin mas
Pros:

El hotel está cerca de playa norte, que es la zona de playa mejor cuidada en la isla .

Cons:

Para ser un hostal y tener habitaciones privadas la calidad precio es elevada, reserve espacio también para mí mascota 450$ por noche fue el cargo adicional,sin tener un solo detalle en la habitación para el perrito, no cuencos, no golosinas no nada..
Es la primera vez que no nos ponen nada por la mascota pero pagar solo para que el perrito de kilo y medio pueda dormir dentro de su propio transportin en la habitación.

Pros:

Great hostel in a really good location close to Playa norte, great beach club/ chill area in the hostel. During turtle season you can watch the turtles come on to the beach to lay eggs. Bathrooms always super clean.

Cons:

Some confusion at check in. I was asked to wait by one member of staff, she left and I was waiting 40 mins

volveria sin duda
Pros:

La ubicación es muy buena , los chicos de recepción siempre fueron muy amables , es mi tercera vez y es un ambiente muy tranquilo y todo en mi habitación estuvo muy tranquilo ( fui a mediados de julio) y no había mucha gente , lo recomiendo mucho, siempre me gusta regresar y hospedarme aqui :)

Cons:

Las sabanas , antes las sabanas y los duvets eran muy buenos ahora las sabanas se sienten como lijas hasta pense que tenia arena la cama, pero en realidad eran las sabanas que se hacían bolitas , y picaban , no se si cambiaron de proveedor de sabanas pero eran mejores las anteriores , de ahí en fuera todo bien

HOTEL NILU NI REGRESO NI LO RECOMIENDO
Pros:

Sin comentarios

Cons:

Desde el momento de la reservacion todo fue con mentiras me hicieron creer una cosa y al momento de la llegada fue otra y no solo a mi grupo de familia si no a otros huespedes que llegaron al momento que nosotros, los climas de la shabitaciones no funcionaban los baños fuera de servicio, nadie se acerca a dar una soluccion, los recepcionistas se hechan la bolita entre ellos y cuando la persona con la que tuve contacto desde la reserva aparecio solo dijo disculpas falta de comunicacion.. y si mucha falta de comunicacion porque para compensar la situcion nos ofrecieron el desayuno en cortesia cuando nos acercamos al restaurante nos hicieron esperar porque a las chicas de restaurante nadie les habia avisado y desconozian lo que le estabamos comentando, ya para la tarde del domingo se acerco una persona para decirme que si reserve por BOOKING que el reembolso de la noche que ya no usaria por la mala experiencia que lo viera con ellos. La verdad no se los recomiendo hay mucha desorganizacion falta de comunicacion poco profesinalismo lo que ofrecen el redes sociales no es nada de lo que hay realmente

Would not come back. Enough said.
Pros:

I liked the location and the proximity to everything. Aida was really nice at the front desk and worked to correct the mistakes Celeste caused. Every time I entered the hostel, she made sure to greet me with a smile. She even told me that Celeste must've not liked me to only charge me for the room key and no one else. She apologized and told me to allow her to make it better if I returned again.

Pedro, the Experience Manager was good also. He helped to solve my room issues and offered to refund me for 1 night.

Cons:

Celeste was a HORRIBLE front desk agent. She talked to me rudely and made negative comments about me in Spanish, not knowing I spoke and understood it very well. Even Aida overheard her while she was checking in other guests say rude things. I initially arrived early & was told my room would be ready at 3 pm, understandable. So I checked in, signed for my key and received my wristband to go in and out. She then told me that I could leave my luggage behind the counter and I declined because it was not in a secure area. Guests had the leisure of walking in/out at any time. I let her know I'd rather put my bags in my friend's room, who'd already been there since Tuesday. She then tells me I can't do that & it made no sense. Needless to say I left it in her room anyway, it was MY BAGS!! When I returned at 2:56 pm, she THEN charged me (and only me out of my group I later learned) $100 pesos for my room key. I questioned as to why that was not done during the initial check in phase, and she became sassy.

Now, I get to my room & she assigned it to another couple and made no effort to correct the situation. I was given another room but had to wait 30 mins for them to "fix something". 30 mins later I was told to wait another 30 mins to replace the AC. Eventually by 5 pm I was able to get into the new room. Pedro offered breakfast, but my room already came with that. So then he said he'd take one night off and refund me - STILL WAITING!!!

Then the icing on the cake, there was no hot water, nor was it luke warm. Call me Americanized if you want, but at least the Motel 6 and Super 8 have hot water. And I don't want to hear nothing about it's on a small island. I have traveled near and far and have never not had any hot water. Hot water kills germs, so that means the place is not cleaned well if they are cleaning with cool water. Sorry NOT SORRY.

I was literally over it at this point.
