Excellent spot on Playa Norte -- year after year I am so grateful to stay here. The team at the hotel is amazing, as is the the team on the beach. Chepo has been our server year after year and he's incredible. So attentive, fast and friendly. Great hotel, great location

Good enough
Pros:

Nice hotel, but the photos of the beach are a bit deceptive because Playa Norte is a public beach and packed with people. There are also several beach clubs / restaurants around that start playing music at 8 am. We stayed 3 nights at the Ixchel. The hotel itself was very good: definitely not 5 star, but very comfortable. We upgraded to one of the larger rooms with a kitchen and sitting area so that we could get a balcony. The balcony was heaven! The room itself was spacious and clean with good storage space for our clothes, a comfortable bed, dual sinks, and a nice shower. But be aware that the two sides of the hotel straddle a road that ends at the beach, with a small pool on either side. The hotel has a bunch of lounge chairs on a marked off section of the beach, but the chairs are packed together like sardines and there is really no way to get away from other people. So, if you are looking for a quiet getaway, this is not the place, but it was very pleasant, and Isla Mujeres, with lots of good little restaurants, is fun for a few days, but I suspect we won't be going back.

Another great vacation at Ixchel Beach Club
Pros:

We’ve been coming here since 2014 to escape the cold Michigan winters and are never disappointed. Well appointed rooms and an unparalleled location just steps from the ocean. Special shoutout to Edgar who quickly sorted out our room request on our first day; Hugo, for the accommodating and excellent service at Kalak; and Mauricio, property manager extraordinaire who makes it all look easy.
Thanks for a wonderful trip!

Best spot in Isla
Pros:

We had the best time at the Ixchel. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We loved Julieta in the restaurant. So sweet to us. The hotel staff does an incredible job at keeping the entire property pristine. We really appreciated the large water coolers in each room. We were able to fill our water bottles easily. The hotel is seriously in the best location on the best beach and walkable to everything. Can’t wait to go back!

We can't wait to come stay with you again!
Pros:

We absolutely loved our time at Ixchel Beach Hotel! We came down to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The staff knew we were coming to celebrate. Upon arrival we found a complimentary bottle of wine in our room with a beautiful towel display on our bed of swans kissing and making a heart shape. What a warm welcome! We chose Ixchel because one of the friends traveling with us was here not long ago and loved it. We are so glad we came and look forward to visiting again. This hotel has the best location on the island. How lucky are we to walk out and right to the beach? Not only that, they helped with chairs and umbrellas. All included. The food and drinks were great and inexpensive. It was clean and well maintained. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Wonderful Isla Mujeres/Ixchel Hotel
Pros:

I love this place. We always stay at this hotel, excellent place, location and beach is wonderful. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Our favorite staff member is Cheppo. He always greets us as old friends and takes good care of us while on the beach. We never have to worry about anything because Cheppo is always there. I can't wait for my next trip to Isla Mujeres and to Ixchel Hotel.
