Mayan Monkey Isla Mujeres | Social Hotel

Great

We stayed in the jungle room which was across the street from the hostel. The atmosphere of the main area and the jungle rooms is 10/10. Gorgeous place! The jungle room is neat, very private on the ground level. The low lighting feels like a cave in the room. Not ideal for getting ready but that's just preference. Overall enjoyed the room but i do have to mention there is a samuri type restaurant next door that does a supper routine that is very loud in the evening. If youre looking for quiet and a good sleep, this wont suit you. If you're out late and wanting very social, this works. The music from the main area is quiet but the bass speaker is set high so in the jungle room the sound carries and is loud until 3/4am. The bass from the neighbouring beach club is the same thing. We did want a good sleep and a relaxing vacation so this missed the mark for us. The beds are comfortable, the noise is just unfortunate. The food at the resort is hit and miss, definitely recommend renting a golf cart and exploring the rest of the island for food and adventure. No early check in option available here.

Our room was basic but clean - drinking water was available for free. Kitchen is shared kitchen. Location is not really close to anything walkable in terms of sightseeing so if you want to get around you need to rent a Golf cart at about $100-150/day. The wait staff were very friendly. All food in the area is priced at average/above average American/canadian restaurant prices so expect a rather large food budget unless you get to a grocery store (by golf cart or taxi) This property plays loud dance music until 12-1 am which can be heard clearly in the rooms with ocean views. The rooms come with earplugs but the music is louder than the earplugs can handle. You must not be bothered by that to fully enjoy this property. The beach is small but private and gorgeous.

loved the dining area under the trees!

- Expensive not so good food at hotel beach club - Beach was covered with seaweed which stinks - beer cans in water

The staff was the absolute best!!! Renting a golf cart was easy, walking about easy, relaxing on the beach so nice. The property is to the south of the island, so away from all the party scene, but still a great party vibe. We stayed a week and would absolutely stay again. A short walk from several great restaurants and bars. But seriously, try a golf cart for 24 hrs, go see the sun rise at the far south of the island, you won’t regret it. And make sure you say hola to Matteo and team, they are the BEST!!

We stayed in the private room with the bath tub and we were blown away! The room was great, and the view was beautiful as we looked out into the jungle. The only downside is that our shower never really got hot, I’d definitely stay here again.

This was a beautiful hotel. However, there are limited in-room amenities such as hand towels. If you're not looking for a fancy but comfortable stay, I recommend Mayan Monkey. Keep in mind that to get to the downtown, you'll need a taxi ride, about 150 pesos in each direction.

Found a big human hair ball on the bed upon entering the room. Bugs that bit inside room (very uncomfortable) and leaking toilet.

Good place if you want a close private beach and don’t mind loud house/techno heard in your room late into the night and no frills. We had a room closest to the beach, which was super convenient and beautiful, but also overpriced. A fancy backpacker hotel. Music stopped 12-1am-ish. Food on site was decent and town is a 10 minute taxi or bus ride away
