“Comfortable spacious condo in a tranquil paradise” This place has everything you need. We sought an island getaway "off the beaten path" and found it at Casa Bendicion. Owners are meticulous about everything. Jose was great. The grounds were spotless! The condo clean and stocked like a home. Too many good things too say here..we want to come back every year. Thanks again Connors.

“Quite wonderful” So having been to Isla Mujeres before, I knew what I wanted and that made my search a little easier. I personally wanted to be away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, I wanted ocean front, a beach, a pool, space and relative quiet. With this rental we got all of the above, with spades and it made for an exquisite vacation. Vanessa was helpful before we arrived and had we need her help during the stay, I'm confident we would have received it. We booked airport transfer and ferry tickets ($98 total for a return trip) through Happy Shuttle and we rented a golf cart for the week $300 ish) and both worked out perfectly. We were met right outside the airport doors and provided with our ferry tickets. We had private transportation (though that may have been because it was a relatively quiet time to visit) in a new vehicle and both the greeter and the driver were professional. Once on the Island, it was a short walk to the cart rental and they were ready and waiting for me. The plane touched down in Cancun at 12:25 pm and we were in our unit by 2:30, it could not have been smoother. Once we arrived at Playa Del Mar, we introduced ourselves to Israel the manager and he walked us through the unit. It was spacious enough for up to 8 people but there were just the two of us so it seemed palatial. Unfortunately the AC unit and ceiling fan in the master bedroom were not working and that was about the only disappointment of the entire week. However the temperatures were steady at around 83/84 degrees which was heavenly but not oppressive and leaving the bedroom door open, kept it manageable in there. Of course we had the option of using one of the other bedrooms but the bed in the master was extremely comfortable so that was the only place to be. Walking out of the sliding glass doors we were ten steps from a gorgeous pool, 50 steps from a perfect small white sandy beach, 65 steps from the beautiful water and 90 steps from the long dock from which I happily fished each day. We did not feel a drop of rain the entire week and there was always a heavenly breeze which meant you never felt overheated. I think during our stay, no more than 10 other people were present and that was totally fine with me. To our immediate left was the Izla hotel with a nice bar and restaurant and next to that was the famous/infamous Ice bar a very popular destination for tourists from the mainland and a variety of vessels (some very luxurious) started arriving in the early afternoon. However while they were clearly NOT tea total cruises, they did not bother us at all and our private little piece of heaven stayed that way throughout the week. The building to the immediate right was under construction, but the noise was nothing consequential and the workers did not start before 8:00am any morning. As stated, we were there strictly for R&R and we certainly got that. We stocked up with an abundance of goodies from the Chedraui grocery store so that we could enjoy breakfast (some days) on the patio and late afternoon and even later night drinks on the lounge chairs by the pool, on the beach or on the bench at the end of the dock, it was perfect!! I have stayed at all inclusive resorts before but that really isn't necessary or desirable on Isla as there are so, so many tremendous places to eat and drink regardless of your budgetary restrictions. Isla Mujeres is also the safest foreign place I've vacationed at and I'm very fortunate to have traveled extensively. I strongly suggest you get out of downtown and explore some of the places elsewhere on the island and if your Spanish is even remotely serviceable explore some of the tiny eateries in the backstreets in the center of the Island. This is where the locals live and eat and there are some true gems. Of the more established restaurants, we had incredible breakfasts at North Garden (near Playa Norte) and at the Mango Cafe (more centrally located but still easy to find). We also had amazing dinners at the Sunset Grill (the most delicious Grouper dish I've ever eaten) and the very elegant and unique Rosa Serena's where they pay real attention to detail to ensure you have a great experience. In addition, we had great casual lunches at Caribbean Brisas and Madera Food and Art on the back side of the Island and some of the art and craft pieces they have for sale are truly beautiful so it is well worth a visit. Rikki (female) will explain all her organically sourced work in great detail and it is worth seeing I promise. Isla Mujeres is not pretentious in any way, but it has amazing people and some breath taking beauty. If you are looking for opulence and luxury everywhere go stay at Villa Rolandi and don't wander offsite but if you do that you will be missing out on an absolute treasure of an Island. It is a place that has captured a piece of our hearts and we intend to return again very soon. As a tip, iIf you want to buy some of the gorgeous shells that are for sale everywhere, you can pay hundreds of peso's in the more touristy areas, but if you venture on the the back side of the Island (open ocean side) or down Carretera Sac Bajo (the dead end road down to Dolphin Discovery also the road our beautiful unit is on) you will get some amazing bargains. In these places, you can buy the exact same beautiful shells for as little as $1 US or roughly 20 peso's. These local vendors are just trying to make a little money to get by but they are the salt of the earth and even if you don't buy from them, they will still smile and wave at you as you go by. Thank you Vanessa and Flipkey as well as the wonderful people of Isla Mujeres for allowing us to create some amazing memories!!

“Excellent time in Condo 403” If you are looking for quiet and peaceful this is a fantastic place to consider. The condo is fantastic, a/c in each room, bedrooms are great, 3 balconies, kitchen while not great is more than adequate. We had breakfasts in condo, about half our lunches and only cooked a couple of dinners - would like more dishes, cutlery if we had cooked more dinners as it is only outfitted with service for 6 and there were 6 of us, so it meant doing dishes after every meal. Beautiful, receding balcony doors for a complete open feeling looking out onto the Carib Sea. The building itself has a little gym, not great equip but enough if you are needing a workout. Pool area is fantastic, great size pool and nice hot tub. Beach area only good for lounging in the chairs/lounges, not conducive to swimming in the ocean in front of the condo are nearby. We went snorkeling once, nothing to see, and the sea floor in that area is mostly sea grass with sand/mud. Laundry facilities in the building are only for owners of the condos, but we just took ours down to the closest launderia, about a 5 min golf cart ride, and it cost 12 pesos per kilo, about $6 for a weeks worth of laundry for my wife and I. The condo is located in an extremely quiet area, would strongly recommend you rent a cart for the entire time, while seeming pricey at $50/day it was well worth it. It took us 12 mins to get from the condo to the "downtown" area for all the shops/restaurants and the North Beach. Every 2nd day we would load up our cart for the day and go to a beach club on the North Beach and spend the day there and walking into town for shopping lunch etc. The other days we would hang around our pool for the day. Evenings we would cart into town, or other restaurants close by, for dinner. Never a problem, as you were anywhere on the island in less than 15 mins in your cart. We did rent a "larger" cart, as we had 4 adults 2 kids (12 and 9) and it did go faster than the smaller carts.

“The Ideal Island Get-Away” We've had the pleasure of an annual holiday to the magical Isla Mujeres for the past few seasons. The feeling of joy on my return to Casa De Las Cupulas from the highway seldom matched at any point in the year. Memories of days lounging at the pool, and watching the sunsets from the roof are some of my favorites. Between the home's layout, interior design, top notch cooking and the attentive home owner, Case De Las Cupulas is the "real deal" in Island Luxury getaways. I have visited this remarkable villa with different groups and the home seems to perfectly suit all needs. David, the owner, does an excellent job asking for exactly what our party needs, and stays in contact thru out your stay to assure your stay is a wonderful experience. Amira the cook prepares the best breakfasts and lunches on the island. Make sure to try the orange liquor french toast! Overall, I would recommend Casa de Las Cupulas to all who seek rest, relaxation, attention to detail and luxurious comfort.

“Great place” Wonderful place on the quiet, southern end of the island. Property owners, Gary and anna are on-site,are gracious hosts and very nice people who will help with any questions that you may have or with any arrangements that need to be made. Rental units are essentially a large efficiency apartment with all the bottled water and other other basic essentials that you will need. Small pool is great for lounging.We rented a scooter in lieu of a golf cart and had great fun. We would rent again and may even do so next year.

“very relaxing and private” We would recommend for anyone who likes to get away from it all

“Villa Tranquilla was perfect for our group!” Before and upon arriving Vicki was fantastic! Very helpful and just all around wonderful to work with. All of her recommendations we spot on. We were a group of 4 couples so we rented the entire villa and it was perfect! It was so nice get together in the main living area or retreat to our bedrooms when we wanted more quite time. There wasn't much of a beach and the water was rough on our side but it was fine because the villa was only a mile away from the north beach in town so we would just walk or hop in the golf cart we rented from town. Some of us are runners and had no problem feeling safe enough to go out for morning runs around the island. One morning we ran down to the south tip of the island and had breakfast which was great! Never once did we feel unsafe or threatened and by the end of the week we almost felt like islanders. The only thing that was not so good was the water pressure wasn't the best in the master bedroom which made it tricky for showering and flushing the toilet and the sun could've came out a bit more, but other than that it was great! If you're looking for a place to accommodate 8 adults comfortably, this is the place. If you are used to an all inclusive luxury kind of vibe then this is not the place for you. But if you have a group of friends/family that like to have fun and be on your own if you want then Villa Tranquilla is perfect! We will definitely return in the future!

“Hammock heaven!” My husband and I and our 2 adult children were very happy with our stay at Casa Tranquila. The casa was clean and comfortable and the outside space upstairs was fantastic. We loved the hammocks and spent a lot of time reading and relaxing in them. We were close enough to town that we could walk there in 20 minutes. We felt very safe walking and never had to wait more than 10 minutes for a cab. Being close to the air strip was not a problem, we never heard any air traffic noise. The casa is right on airport Road which is fairly busy so there was some traffic noise, especially in the front bedroom. The weather was perfect and being on the windward side we always had a wonderful breeze. We were warned that few places take credit cards and we found that to be true. Don't even think about travelers checks because nobody will take them! One small snag was that our cell phones did not work on the island, so when we arrived, we had to ask our cabbie to call Vicki to meet us at the casa to check in. Our favorite restaurants were Mango Cafe for breakfast/lunch, Lola Valentina's and Limon for dinner. Try the Hibiscus margaritas at Limon, wonderful! We had a great time and hope to return to Isla Mujeres soon!
