Ixchel staff never disappoints. Rooms were clean, beach was perfect, but the best part was the care we received from the staff. Juan and Adriana at the front desk bent over backwards to make our anniversary special. Charley and Chucho were at our beckon call down at the beach with food and drinks and a smile. We love Ixchel and its staff!

Great location and a little rough around the edges
We stayed here for serval days coming from Cancun all inclusive just before. Location is great, near all the restaurants and everything was easily walkable. We are not beach/pool lounge people, honestly the was way to much commotion of people just in the the beach in front of the hotel...
We stayed here for serval days coming from Cancun all inclusive just before. Location is great, near all the restaurants and everything was easily walkable. We are not beach/pool lounge people, honestly the was way to much commotion of people just in the the beach in front of the hotel and the loungers were packed in like sardines. The beach is beautiful. We spent most of the time in our patio and enjoyed that. Often you heard loud music but nothing that stopped me from sleeping.
My two negatives: first, there was a chair in our bedroom that the foot stuck out 3 inches from the edge of seat. Not easily seen in the dark or early in the morning. Pretty sure I broke my toe on the chair. Please get rid of this chair or out it in a different spot that is not high traffic. Second, I stopped at the desk specifically to ask about dinner reservations. I was given a recommendation and ensured he'd handle it getting set up at set time. The restaurant had no reservation and said no one had called from the hotel. It was not a great experience for our anniversary dinner. Part of it was my fault in not verifying, though don't tell me it's all taken care of and not do it or let know why it couldn't

We have been coming here for 18 years. We have tried other accommodations but came back. The staff truly care about their guests and it is always a beautiful time on the beach.
If you are looking for a place, that is accommodating, whether you are traveling solo, with a couple or with the entire family, this is the place to stay. Plenty of fun during the day and nice and quiet in the evening. We look forward to coming back soon!

This was the very best way to stay on Isla Mujeres. The location is perfect; right on Playa Norte and close to all the restaurants and bars. The hotel itself perfectly matches the vibe of the island. Even though its two decent-sized buildings it still feels like a boutique and not a resort. It’s modern and understated in a good way. The rooms seem to be fairly recently renovated and had everything we needed. It was so nice to have a full kitchen with a full size fridge and plenty of glasses and even a toaster.
We paid extra for an ocean front suite (room 1-210) and it was worth every penny! It was a corner room with a balcony that wrapped from the pool to the beach. It’s hard to beat sitting on the deck overlooking one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. There were always chairs available for us at the beach (no charge) and the staff was always very helpful and friendly. We ordered lunch on the beach ever and the food is surprisingly great (especially the fish tacos). And at night it is so quiet and peaceful. Our room was so close to the water that the only sound we could hear were the gentle waves lapping on the sand. A little slice of heaven. One minor critique is about the chairs. Both the loungers on the beach and the chairs on the balcony are pretty uncomfortable. I know they’re durable and weather-proof but some chairs with cushions would be an even better experience.
There was one bummer: On our final morning we discovered a *dead* cockroach in our room along the sliding glass door. 😬 The obviously must spray for bugs because it had died and it was the only one we saw in the four nights we were there. And it’s the tropics, so there’s only so much they can do, but I wanted to point it out in case you have an unhealthy fear of those things (like I do).
But I still give it 5 stars because our overall experience was incredible!

It's FCFS for the beach umbrellas, which was fine because it's a small hotel and if you make it out by 8am-9am you get a decent seat. We had a wonderful time and we will definitely be back!

We enjoyed the pools, restaurant, & bar, and the beach there is gorgeous. Great location, only a short block to fun restaurants & a churros stand, my favorite!

We just stayed four nights in two different one bedroom suites, both of which were very nice, well equipped full apartments more than hotel suites. The property consists of two different buildings with two different pools, one of which is heated and has a small restaurant, and the other has a bar. The layout was a bit confusing at first because they’re separated by a wall. We ate two meals at the restaurant, and enjoyed poolside cocktails, everything was well prepared and served with a smile. The hotel’s beach club is a bit small and can be crowded but if you would like to explore more of playa norte and other clubs just walk north. We tried both Buhos beach club( closer) and Guru club at the snorkeling lagoon, both very close by, offering different experiences ( Guru is fantastic/ very private, great cocktails, food and service and more upscale, Buhos has a wonderfully huge palapa hut, which houses a shady casual restaurant and bar with swings in the sand) and there are many more nearby to try. They are quite affordable too- $25 bed/umbrella ( for two) with similarly peiced food/drink minimums. Many good restaurants to choose from very nearby too. Everything is walking distance including the ferry.

Great location, beautiful 1 bedroom unit with kitchen. We were on the first floor and while originally a bit disappointed not being on a higher floor we came to really love the first floor. We could still see and hear the ocean from our well-appointed patio but we could also walk right out the sliding doors to the pool and beach. Very handy. The staff was friendly, the service on the beach for chairs and food was excellent. The only reason I am not giving this 5 stars is because there was a very loud party one night at the rental facility on the beach which had blaring techno music until 4 am. We were up all night. I cannot recommend this place for families with children because of this. I understand these types of parties do happen often. The hotel should be up front about these and try to do something to mitigate the noise.

My husband and I spent two weeks at this lovely hotel. Our room was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable, as were the pillows. We made breakfast a few times and the kitchen was stocked (skillets, plates, etc) well for this, also. The staff is great. Martha at the front desk is a treasure. We were having trouble with the WiFi after the first of the year and she just took our phones and corrected it! I had a minor accident on Hildago and Fili and Erika took such good care of me. We were always able to find chairs available whenever we went to the beach. I can highly recommend.

Great place and perfect location.
Hugo at the bar restaurant is so nice and helpful. Great place all around. Perfect location for the beach and right on the main street for the restaurants and bar. The beach is so calm and beautiful. I hope to return someday in the not distant future.
