Hi there.
There is so much info to sift through on here so I thought I would start my own thread and see if anyone has any good advice :)
I would like to surprise my boyfriend for his 50th and bring him to Isla. He will be recovering from a knee operation so minimal walking is best.
I think we would like to be near the beach/town… but you tell me? The island looks so pretty maybe its ok to be away from it a bit and taxi
now and then. if we arent close to town, then maybe we need access to a pool.
A private bungalow/appt would be great too. AC is a must I think. Budget is also a must so I am looking for a great deal in a nice, clean, funky
inexpensive place. Too much to ask?
I am thinking of a week to 10 days in March..
Thank you for reading this.
Any advice appreciated!!
ps- it is soooooo cold in British Columbia!! Sheesh!
We stayed in just such a place, the Playa Media Luna. It is right on the beach and has a nice pool. It is a short distance from the middle of town so you might want a taxi. The hotel has hammocks with each room so your BF could relax and enjoy the view. Here is the website: http://playa-media-luna.islamujeres.info/ Hope you have a great time.
Due to extreme climatic changes the World is experiencing at the moment, trying to predict the weather can be difficult because of local, on the day variations.
Most places now are seeing weather conditions well outside the norm.
The information below should be used as a guide only.
Here is the average weather for Cancun for this time of year.
Enjoy your holiday.

That should be warm enough for you :o)
thanks so much for the posts to both of you. YES looks warm... ahhhhhh warmth!
I would prefer to have a place with a wee kitchen to make the odd meal. Has anyone stayed at a nice, budget, clean ROMANTIC spot on the north part of the Island, or close to town?? So many to review and who knows if they actually look like the pictures or the discriptions.
Any advise??
Thanks again!!
Just five miles long and 1,300 feet wide, Isla Mujeres is a favorite among divers, snorkelers and vacationers who simply seek a tranquil break from the lively Cancun.
PLAYA NORTE, the beach that covers the northern end of the island is one of the Caribbean's finest and lures people from all over. Thatched roofed restaurants and beach bars, provide food and refreshments to the island's visitors.
Try to use just carry-ons...you'll get to the ferry quicker if you don't have to wait for your big bags. Lots of SPF! It's really easy to over do it. I was wishing I had brought an underwater camera. The reefs are beautiful and very alive.
There are many ways to get around Isla Mujeres. The most popular mode seems to be the golf carts. We were told we could rent the carts for $45.00 for the day.
Other modes of transportation were--bicycles, scooters, taxis and my favourite --by foot.
One Rental Place is Mega Ciro's for Golf Cart & Motorbike Rentals.Rent by hour or day.

I ate lunch at Brisa Mexicana during my one day visit to the island of Isla Mujeres in February 2006.
It is a large, brightly coloured restaurant located in the heart of the island's main town, Isla Town. I don't know the address, but it stands at the crossroads of two of the main streets in the heart of Isla Town, and has a bright yellow facade and a host of outdoor tables shaded by yellow and white Sol-sponsored umbrellas.
The restaurant is typically Caribbean. It is open-planned and has an airy feel. It is also decorated with a lot of plant life, so even when you are dining inside, you feel as though you are sat outdoors under a canopy.
The menu consists of numerous fresh seafood dishes (fresh fish, shrimps, lobster, crab), meat dishes (chicken, pork, beef, steaks) and Mexican specialities (nachos, tortillas, fajitas).
At the time of my visit, the bottled beers were part of a "2 for 1" offer, while other drinks included various cocktails and spirits, soft drinks and hot beverages. I opted for:
Camaron con Salsa de Tequila (shrimps in tequila sauce) - Cost: 95 Pesos
A plate of about 10 large shrimps served in a hot, tasty tequila-based sauce and served with boiled potatoes and salad. Good quality food and good value for money.
2 bottle of Sol beer - Cost: 25 Pesos
I took advantage of the "2 for 1" offer and enjoyed a couple of bottles of ice cold Sol, served with slices of lime.
Kind of like snorkeling in your friend's tropical aquarium, Garrafon National Park is one of the must-see attractions of Isla Mujeres. Go early in the morning to enjoy the park before the hordes of day-trip visitors arrive from Cancun. A mask, fins, and snorkel can be rented near the park or in town.

Q: Are there any grocery stores in isle de mujeres "Are there any food stores in isle de mujeres. We like to cook when on holidays."
A: "I have not been there, but with 11,000 people (or whatever) and a local hospital, you would think that the locals would have to shop somewhere...here are some references..."
