Isla Mujeres

How many people, ages, expectations? Need a little info.

Most likely just me and wife.

Slight chance + 11 year old kid.

Personally I always stay in little airbnbs. But I don't need to be fancy.
If you like hotels I would likely Stay at Mia Reef or privileges.

I figure I'm going to have a cart anyway, so location doesn't mean as much to me.

Secrets resort just opened up there actuall

I'm all about the cheap shanty apartments. Nothing like a $45 full apartment. More money for other stuff.

Most I've spent was $100 a night getting a Penthouse in the south of the island.
Sometimes I stay on north beach.

Last month I stayed near Mangos, on Jesus Ross near Chedraui.

We stayed at Privileges 2 years ago, and not that its a bad place, but I would probably rather rent an airbnb or something more private. Beautiful area, but too many people around. Norte beach is always packed from the people from the ferry. We had more fun riding around on the golf carts finding hidden bars than anything else. Hell we found ourself part of a locals birthday party at a place similar to Piccadilly in the middle of no where. Highly recommend getting the shrimp ceviche at soggy peso and stopping for drinks at the drunken donkey.

Exactly. Though on the last trip I found out there is a service like an Uber Eats that will bring you food from any restaurant on the island. It was pretty cool. It was 9:30 and I didn't feel like going back out and was hungry. Ordered food on the app. Put in my address, like 45 minutes later I was getting a notification that the guy was there.

They do groceries as well. I always hit up Chedraui and get a ton of their bread and some tortillas and make lunches with my left overs and have breakfast on the days I don't go to Mango or Lola Valentina for breakfast.

I just use the app. Put in entire units and aC. Then look for ones in my price range.
I don't get the cheapest but I get on the cheaper side.
I usually stay away from the tourists areas.
Though the Malecon apartments were nice they were loud. I like staying away from the beach so I get quiet nights. Though the streets are always a little noisy.

I recommend getting the "mapchicks" app for isla mujeres. It list every restaurant and bar and gives info on each. Plus has info on activities and things.

I would also join an isla Facebook group. You can find plenty of rentals and good deals in the groups if you Facebook.

The map chick's app is a one time payment but I use it extensively every trip there.
