Nice place to stay in Isla Mujeres

We've visited Isla Mujeres a few times, and this has been our favorite place to stay. It's perfectly located—close enough to walk to shops and restaurants, yet far enough from the busy center to feel relaxed. The beach is just a short stroll away, and there's a golf cart rental right next door. The ferry is also conveniently less than a five-minute walk. We only rented a golf cart for one day to explore the far end of the island. The room was clean, spacious, and well-stocked with everything we needed—beach towels, coffee, drinking water, dishes, utensils, toiletries, and more. We'd definitely stay here again.

Amazing stay!

My husband and I had a perfect stay at Villas San Miguel and our unit (Palenque). Check in was easy and smooth and the unit was just as described. We loved waking up to the sounds of the ocean every morning! We also loved how there was a parking lot on the property for our golf cart (that we rented with their help), that the villas had 2 pools, had purified water for us in the unit,and the comfy bed. The location was perfect and we would absolutely stay here again!

We loved Villas San Miguel, can not wait to return! The grocery store is around the corner, the property sits on a small sea wall, morning sunrise with coffee is absolutely priceless. Quiet area in evenings. So close to all the shops, restaurants, & few blocks to the beachside. Dreamy vacation came true.

Wonderful casita located within walking distance to everything. This was our second stay at Villas San Miguel and we’re already looking to book again! The staff is so kind and go out of their way to make your stay perfect. The casita is clean and has everything you need. The beds are very comfortable. The showers are the best we’ve experienced in a rental. We love this property and always look to stay here if there’s availability!

Perfect stay

This was a last minute trip and it could not have been more perfect! Abdiel at the front desk was really nice and helpful. The pools were great to dip into after the beach, the view of the ocean was lovely, and the AC and showers were nice to return to. Only minor suggestion is to have a bit longer bed, as one of us is over 6 feet tall :) We can't wait to return and stay at this exact place!

We stayed at the Palenque room Friday through Tuesday. Check in was easy and we were greeted upon arrival to the hotel. The room was clean and we felt safe while staying here. The staff was always attentive and helped with any questions. The view was spectacular from our room. Walking distance to places to grab a bite to eat and close to all shopping areas. 10/10 recommend if youre having trouble deciding where to stay. Also close enough to walk to/ from the ferry.

A/C worked great and it was in a great location....close to North Beach and all the night life on Hidalgo and Centro. I enjoyed the view from Palenque and being able to hear the waves at night. I will definitely return to Villas San Miguel!

2021 Isla Mujeres Trip at Villas San Miguel "Palenque"

I had always heard about staying at Villas San Miguel on Isla Mujeres from friends, how much fun the island is, that everything is reasonably priced and the people are so friendly. All of this, I found, is 100% true. We stayed in "Palenque" and Abdiel took care of making sure everything was very accommodating for us from the time we arrived to assuring our safety of our room to making sure we had enough fuel in our cart to scheduling an in-house covid test for our return home. This villa is situated in the center of everything, walking distance to the ferry and restaurants (too many to experience in only 1 week), and close to the market to buy groceries, if needed. I believe any of the villas would be great to stay in and both pools were crystal clean also. I give this villa a 5-star review and would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet adult-cation to stay here.

Wonderful Stay

We have almost finished an eleven night stay at Villa Palenque at Villas San Miguel on Isla Mujeres. It has been a tremendous stay. We would totally recommend this villa. It has a balcony with a wonderful view of the Caribbean Sea and we sat here enjoying the ambience for many hours. People wander past along the Malecon walkway but the only noise is the sea. It is shady by midday which is essential in the heat. Some of the units do not have a sea view. I recommend paying extra and getting one. The unit has a well equipped kitchen with a large fridge and freezer. This is a spacious studio unit with seperate large bathroom area. The supermarket is 2 minutes away and we used this a lot for supplies. We also ate from many of the local vendors around the area selling their street food. All good. The main beaches, Playa Norte and Playa Centro are a short walk away but it was always pleasant to return to one of the two pools here away from the many day trippers who crowd the beach in the middle of the day. If this place was closer to our home in New Zealand we would be frequent visitors.
