Welcome to Isla Mujeres
Just eight miles offshore from Cancun is the enchanting island of Isla Mujeres. This magical place has pristine beaches, a laid back vibe, and excellent snorkeling. The main restaurant and entertainment area is around Hidalgo Street in the Centro (town center) area located at the northern end of the island by Playa Norte. However, you can find great hotels spread throughout Centro, the Mid-Island Bay Area, and the Sac Bajo as well. Here are the best hotels in Isla Mujeres for every budget!
Where to Sleep
The Top Neighborhoods
CENTRO / PLAYA NORTE
This is where everything is happening on the island. Hotels, restaurants, beaches and more. This is at the northern end of the island and most places are easily walkable.
MID-ISLAND BAY AREA
In the center of the island, the Mid-Island Bay Area is where the various residential “colonias” are, but there are also a number of rentals here. This is a nice area for people who want to immerse themselves in local culture and pretty much live where most locals do. Not near the beach though and you’ll have to take a taxi to go to the restaurants and beaches in the northern Centro / Playa Norte areas.
SAC BAJO
A lovely beachfront road along the island’s western shore with condos, a few luxury hotels and rental homes. Excellent views of the Caribbean with a mixed bag on beach quality. Like staying in the Mid-Island Bay Area, you’ll have to take a taxi to go to the restaurants and the popular beaches in the northern Centro / Playa Norte areas.

Staff Picks
Casa de los Sueños
Staff Pick – My all-around favorite Isla Mujeres hotel is Casa de los Sueños. As its Spanish name implies, it is truly a “house of dreams,” with breathtaking rooms and spectacular views. I always have a great time kayaking and snorkeling while I’m there.
Located in Sac Bajo
Boutique Hotel Bahia Tolok
Staff Pick – Boutique Hotel Bahia Tolok is another favorite of ours. I thoroughly enjoy its charming rooms with design touches that reflect the island’s heritage. It’s a refreshing place to relax on a hammock by the pool or take a kayak out on the water.
