A peaceful, comfortable retreat with amazing hosts

From the moment we booked our stay Katy took care of us and anticipated our every need. While we stayed, her and the amazing staff were always thoughtful and accommodating. Our unit was very clean and the pool area was a joy to be at and provided a relaxing place to chill. We would definitely stay again.

Very well equipped little apartment. It was clean and bright and a lovely place to spend the week. It had everything one would need for a week away. The place was very well thought out and the attention to detail did not go unnoticed. It was centrally located and walking distance to most places. Katy the owner, was quick to answer any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again.

Isla Mujeres Villa

This was our first trip to beautiful Isla Mujeres, but it won't be our last! Our stay was surprisingly better than we expected! Our villa was spacious, comfortable and very well appointed. Our host didn't miss a beat. The extra touches were so very much appreciated. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will back for certain.

Wonderful island for a honeymoon

We really loved our stay at Isla Retreats. Katy was very helpful and gave us some great recommendations. Definately rent a golf cart it is worth every penny. The island is a great place to ride around and hop off your cart at the many beautiful spots and awesome beach bars. We loved the food at The Mango Cafe and enjoyed hanging out at a little bar called Marley's. Definately go to the Punta Sur lighthouse and walk the path along the coast. We are looking forward to another trip to the Island!

Small but very nice

This is a small but very clean and well appointed villa. Owners/ managers are very accommodating and easy to work with. My only complaint was that I had no internet in my Villa. It was also in the middle of “Carnival” which made the traffic and crowds very busy and loud. I should have done my homework better. LOL. Overall a very nice property!

Relaxing Oasis

This property is exactly as pictured. The surprising part is the property owners. They are a wonderful family who treat you like family from the time you arrive until the day you leave. If you have any apprehension about this place, you’ll toss it out the window the moment you arrive! We felt so at home and so relaxed during our 2 week stay. Katy and her family are great people who put their heart and soul into this property and go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. The staff are in the same category- all beautiful people! We highly recommend Isla Retreats and will likely return! Thank you Katy, Robert, Dave, Mary and Terry and staff!

Fabulous Property!

Isla Retreats was such a wonderful property! So tranquil and relaxing! We split our week on Isla Mujeres between another property and Isla Retreats and would hands down stay the whole week (or longer) at Isla Retreats next time! Katy was so welcoming, responsive, and accommodating to all of our requests and even let us check out late on our last day! The room and grounds were immaculate and you really felt the attention to detail in everything. We opted to do taxis instead of a golf cart and the location was perfect - a short and inexpensive taxi ride to anywhere you want to go. Elizabeth did a wonderful job refreshing our room, and it was so nice to have the option of housekeeping services. We enjoyed the kitties and the beautiful sculptures and grounds. A fabulous place to stay - the only negative is that we didn't have more time! :( Muchas gracias, Katy y familia!

Good mid-island location that’s clean and well maintained

Check in was ok: we met the security guard at the entrance & introduced ourselves – he said nothing and walked us to our room. The apartment was nice, well appointed and very clean. There were no loungers on the patio as shown in the photos (& the website showed an old photo before the solar panels were installed) so one was smaller than expected. It was still plenty of room for us, but just unexpected & would recommend removing/updating the photo. The courtyard is beautiful and well maintained. The patio furniture was nice & well cared for. We were surprised to find welcome wine and ice cubes upon our arrival. The pool was hardly used by others while we were there and the water wasn’t heated unless someone was in it, which meant it was cooler than we would have liked. Another guest showed us how to turn on the waterfalls/heated water in the pool shed or we wouldn’t have known this information as well as a few other things (such as the resident cats fed in the common area & who beg at your patio door or windows each morning / evening plus the coconut water available in the refrigerator). A email address was provided for arranging our COVID tests & the person responded very quickly. The actual testers arrived over 1⁄2 hour late with the earliest appointment time allowed at 10:30am so it was a later start to our day than we would have liked. We’d pre-arranged a golf cart to be there on our first full day but was told the company had lost our reservation and arranged it for the following day. It was unfortunate to lose a full day of convenient mobility but we managed to get around anyway. Overall a nice place to stay on the island.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 March 2022
Thank you Laurie for staying with us at Isla Retreats. We will update our photo of the patio with the solar panels- we just finished installing them a few weeks ago - thanks for the input. We were surprised to hear about the temperature of the pool not being warm enough - it is heated and we haven't had any complaints. We will look into raising the temperature. We apologize about the cats - they are neighborhood cats (not resident) that come and go, are vaccinated, and loved by many. We provide fresh coconuts in the fridge as an extra amenity when available, which is why we don't advertise them. We love to share our coconuts with our guests when we have them. The independent medical teams and golf cart companies on the island are extremely busy, and do their best to adhere to punctuality. While we try to help coordinate the added convenience, ultimately these business are operated off-site. Thank you again for staying. - you were lovely guests. We look forward to the opportunity to hosting you in the future, and providing the 5-star experience that we always strive for. Katy

Amazing

Property is amazing and katy and her family are equally amazing. So much attention to detail was put in to this property. It is in the perfect location mid island and right across from a little store where you can buy drinks and snacks to enjoy in your room or out at the stunning pool/palapa area. Super clean room with all of the amenities, super comfortable bed, cold a/c, great linens/towels provided, smart TV, private balconies. This is paradise. Nothing more we could ask for. We can't wait to come back.

Lovely retreat on Isla Mujeres

We decided sort of last minute to go to Isla Mujeres between Christmas and New Year's, and found this lovely villa. Everything about the property is exactly as presented and described in the listing. We found the bed to be very comfortable since the mattress is a bit firm (in a good way), the kitchen is well-stocked, and the private decks are a great bonus. The only suggestion we'd have is to put the table & chairs on the Salina Chica side since the view is nicer. The staff is also wonderful and friendly, and they took care of a couple of small maintenance issues very quickly. The location of Isla Retreats is great. It's sort of right in the middle of the island, making access to both the north and south sides easy. Katy helped us rent a golf cart for one of our days, and it was great to take on a spin down the south part of the island and Sac Bajo. The rest of the time we took taxis or walked to local spots in the neighborhood. There are a number of walkable restaurants in the area. We found our favorite meals at some of small local places, including La Chatita and Kash Keken Chuc (in the evening they have a large menu of inexpensive local dishes). We had a nice breakfast one morning at Mango Cafe and walked across to the church afterward. It's definitely worth a stop. Chedraui supermarket is nearby, as well a lots of mini-supers. We picked up pan dulces, yogurts and fruit that we had for breakfast most days, as well as some extra sunscreen and hats since we'd forgotten ours. Overall we couldn't have asked for much better for our first trip to Isla Mujeres and hope to return. Many thanks to Katy for creating such a lovely place.

Amazing Isla Retreats!

We had a wonderful nine nights at Isla Retreats! Villa 6 was spacious with two private outdoor balconies and all of the amenities you could want and a very comfortable bed. There is so much food available at local restaurants that we didn’t really cook, but you could if you wanted to in the fully equipped kitchen. We walked to nearby Chedraui grocery store for supplies and there are also a couple of small stores nearby for fruit, veggies, snacks and drinks. We really enjoyed the adults-only facility with beautiful pool and palapa. It is so hard to find adults-only villas! Katy was an awesome host and made us feel completely welcome and at home and even invited us to her chihuahua’s birthday party :-) Rosa and Elizabeth were attentive and kind in their housekeeping. We met Katy’s Dad, Dave, one day and it is so wonderful to see the pride of ownership by this father-daughter duo. They have done a magnificent job with this retreat. This was our second time to Isla Mujeres and it won’t be the last. We love that the villas are located in a residential area where we enjoyed lots of walks and chatting with locals. It is a hidden gem away from the hustle of Centro but close enough for a quick cab or golf cart ride to town. We are walkers and were happy to walk to town as well, just a couple of km away. Thank you Katy for a wonderful vacation!

A retreat into heaven

The property is beautiful in every way. Villa 6 has three private decks. The interior space is simply gorgeous, and the bed is comfy. There is a full kitchen with everything you might need or want. The pool is the perfect size and temperature. The lounge chairs are plentiful. The location is perfect. Not in the busy downtown but only a short 10 minute golf cart ride away and in a neighbourhood with a few good food gems of its own! A small convenience store is directly across the property. Katie is a perfect host. She truly cares about her guests. We will be back!

Exceeded expectations

We arrived at Isla Retreats on the 28th of December (for 8 nights) where we received a very warm welcome from Katy making us feel right at home. Once you enter the property you know this is a special place, well thought out to provide a relaxing, tropical environment, in a convenient location. She briefed us on the island followed by a tour of the grounds and of our Villa (#6) which was immaculate, very well designed and equipped. Very comfortable bed, complete kitchen, large fresh water dispenser, everything you need and then some. Decks are accessible from each side of the villa which provided a great place to enjoy some downtime among the lush, tropical foliage and, being on the 2nd level, constant ocean breeze. Housekeeping: as good as it gets - the staff is very good and always willing to help, making it a point to ask if there is anything they can do for you. I have no complaints - just wish we could have stayed a few more days. Next time!
