We loved our stay here. Room was very clean, beautiful and very comfortable. The bed was wonderful. The property is so beautiful and the pool was very nice and always very clean. Very central location. We loved that there is a brewery/restaurant right across the street and the food there is amazing! We highly recommend this place and we will stay here again when we come back to the island.

This place is amazing. Our room was well designes and very comfortable. I really loved the bathroom! The room has plenty of drinking water, a fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. The pool is really clean and very comfortable water temp. The staff are the best part. Everyone at Isla Retreats is so wonderful. The cleaning staff is exceptional! I am so sad I am allergic to cats because I really wanted to pet them! Katy is an amazing host, she even facilitated us having a golf cart delivered to the retreat. Amazing place!

Loved this quiet oasis in a slice of paradise!

We had an amazing stay at Isla Retreats! Our room was immaculate, the staff attentive and kind, and Katy was a fantastic host. She was easily available by text for any questions, recommendations, etc. and it made our stay in a new environment so much easier to navigate. I’ve already recommended this place to many people and plan to return soon!

Christmas getaway

Katy was wonderful with communication. The other staff were also wonderful. We were lucky as we got to check in a bit early and check out a bit later. Our room was very comfortble. It is a small quiet place to stay with a short golf cart ride to the north end. The cats on the property are sweet. We will stay again.

Absolutely AHHHHHHHmazing!

Our stay with Katy was perfect from the get go. Her place is so clean and it looks even better than the pictures! We slept wonderful in the comfy bed. We enjoy the kitties who roam around the property. We had morning coffee by the pool everyday which was a great way to start the morning. The location is great...lots of places to walk to or easy to get a cab ride to the beach. Katy is very friendly and super helpful. I would absolutely stay here again anytime! 5 out of 5 stars..highly recommend!

8/10 Good

Well maintained and landscaped resort

Great tiny resort, a short cab ride from the downtown area, but still within walking distance to several bars, restaurants and grocery stores. Rooms are very clean and well maintained. Check in was effortless and the information package provided prior to our arrival was very useful. Staff is very attentive and helpful. Isla Mujeres is a great spot for a laid back winter getaway. I would not recommend using Best Days for the transfer from the airport. Very unorganized and late on both the arrival and return trip.

Absolutely beautiful quaint property

Katy and her staff welcomed us upon arrival. The property is well maintained and clean. I loved the oasis type landscaping. We didn’t use the pool because we were constantly on the go, but it looked wonderful. Convenient to the grocery store and famous Mango Cafe. It is a trek to the downtown area, but we rented a golf cart. The island isn’t that big and everyone golf carts around to explore the island. Our room was perfect for 2 people and greeted us with a bottle of wine. This is the perfect place for a nice, quiet getaway. There are connecting rooms to accommodate a family. Thank you Katy!

Resort Living

It’s not that often that you get to say a place exceeds your expectations. But Isla Retreats does just that. First, Katy was fantastic and greeted us minutes after our arrival and gave us some tips and and recommendations for our first Isla getaway. Second, our room was spotless and maybe I didn’t read the fine print, but our room was made up every day! There aren’t very many VRBO rentals that can claim that. This is a small, boutique resort that feels as luxurious as many of the larger resorts in the Cancun area. Oh, and my wife fell in love with the cats that live on the property! 100% recommend!

The property is very nice and clean. It’s nothing close by so you have to get a taxi to move around. Every time I had to get a taxi I was charged differently 🤔. Property has a golf car but was rented when I ask for it. If you need to rent a golf car it’s better to do it with the property better price and convenience. Recomendable 💯.

We recently stayed at Katy’s Place through Isla Retreats, and once again, it exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we could tell how much care and thought goes into creating a relaxing and comfortable experience for guests. The space was absolutely spotless, and the attention to detail made the stay feel really special.From the way the towels were neatly and beautifully folded, to the complimentary bottle of wine waiting for us, and even the high-quality coffee provided in the room—everything was done with care. These thoughtful touches truly elevated the experience and made us feel instantly welcomed.The property itself is stunning. The grounds are immaculately kept and full of lush greenery, which added to the peaceful, tropical vibe. The pool was perfectly clean and incredibly inviting—an ideal place to cool off and unwind after exploring the island.Katy was a fantastic host from start to finish. She was quick to respond to every message, answered all of our questions thoroughly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Her communication was warm, clear, and incredibly helpful.This was actually our second time staying at one of Katy’s properties, and each time has been nothing short of wonderful. We feel completely confident booking with her and know that every stay will be clean, comfortable, and full of thoughtful little details that make a big difference. It’s safe to say that every time we visit the island, we’ll be

A Personal Touch above the Rest

My husband and I have been to Isla well over a dozen times in the past 10 years. Private, very comfortable, secluded and more than anything...the personal touch spoke volumes. The property is new and amazingly thought out. Although not ocean front and not in North Beach, there is a nicety of staying away from the crowds and hustle and bustle of North Beach, and returning to your home away from home for some serenity. Villas are designed around the landscape. Beautiful palms trees, landscaping and scenery. Ours was a smaller villa - not much larger than an upscale room in the U.S. but offering so much more. It is the first time in years I can recall having hot water for all those showering, incredible water pressure and the bed and pillows being as comfortable as home. The villa had a microwave (for those interested) and a frig (the first time I have seen one on Isla that had a cold water dispenser built in). I enjoyed the ability to sit outside our room during a rain storm, enjoying a nice breeze but not being rained on or blown away as one would be at an ocean side property. There is a pool, outside shower and outside restroom for those using the pool. Off to the side of the pool is a palapa with a bar, frig (to store your beverages for pool or outside activities), tables, chairs and a BBQ grill available for all to use. One of the nice things is this is not a large property, accommodating many. The "seal the deal" factor was and is Katy's personal touch. My husband and I have travelled the world and it is the personal touch that truly matters. A personal note was left by Katy in our room with a welcome bottle of wine. Katy is a hands on owner who makes herself available daily to ensure you have and want everything you need. She is friendly and truly cares. Her father it so much the same. They have raised the bar for property owners. New repeat customers earned. Thank you Katy and Dave!

Perfect Isla getaway

The location for this property is perfectly centered on the island. Nice parking area for golf carts and scooters. Beautiful foliage and incredible pool that was all very well kept. Some very friendly kitties kept us company in the courtyard area during our stay which was just an added bonus. Katy was absolutely wonderful and very easy to communicate with. We will be staying here again and again for our trips to Isla!

A wonderful retreat!

Everything was perfect. I loved all the high end finishes and little touches. This place was very thoughtfully designed and cared for. The tropical landscaping and pool area are beautiful. The housekeeping staff keeps everything very clean. I liked being away from the tourist area. Having a golf cart to get around makes touring around the island more fun but it is easy to catch a taxi anywhere you want to go. The bus into El Centro/Playa Norte also goes right past Isla Retreats. I liked to make coffee in the morning then walk across the street to watch the sun rise over the ocean. I also loved the lounge chairs in the pool. The owners were super nice and even turned the heater up a bit on the pool so it was more comfortable. (I was there on the tail end of hurricane season and got a lot of rainy weather during my stay.) I would come back here again!

Simply an Oasis in Isla Mujeres!

Lush, green, immaculate property and villas. The pool with waterfall was a double treat! Close to everything~the sea, beaches, a variety of restaurants and markets. Quiet residential area away from the noise of Playa Norte. The owner was extremely helpful with recommendations for everything from tours, restaurants and golf cart rentals to superb salon services, and artful shopping . We felt as though we had our own personal valet. We enjoyed a stress free vacation and made some awesome new friends ~ Our stay couldn't have been better! Thank you Katy & Dave & Vianka ~
