Tropical island activities and quaint shops

Tropical island activities and quaint shops, Isla Mujeres

 Earthtourist Says:  Beaches are child friendly, with whites sands and shallow water without big waves. Snorkeling can be learned safely, or more experienced swimmers can take any number of snorkeling or diving tours available. Hanging out on the beach and soaking up the sun is another option.... 

Hotels  

Pac na hostel: Hostel life

Pac na hostel: Hostel life, Isla Mujeres

 Earthtourist Says:  I didn't stay there this time, but checked it out for future stays. I walked through the facility and talked to the front desk attendant and found it clean and friendly, with many internationalities represented. It sits on the opposite side of the island from the ferry... 

Vistalmar: Basic accomodations in an excellent location

Vistalmar: Basic accomodations in an excellent location, Isla Mujeres

 Earthtourist Says:  When I stayed here I was felt very relaxed and the balcony overlooked the public beach and park area as well as part of the boat docking area. It was a few steps from restaurants, and the shopping district. It was very inexpensive to stay there. 

Restaurants  

The Mango Cafe: Hey, this IS a Caribbean island!

The Mango Cafe: Hey, this IS a Caribbean island!, Isla Mujeres

Transportation  

Cheap bus and ferry

Cheap bus and ferry, Isla Mujeres

 Earthtourist Says:  Getting to Mujeres is simple and cheap. The city bus service to Puerto Juarez where the ferry leaves every hour all day, costs less than a dollar from anywhere in Cancun. The front window of the bus will indicate if it goes to Puerto Juarez. Taxis are cheap, too. The ferry... 

Tourist Traps  

Snorkle Trips leave you Dry

Snorkle Trips leave you Dry, Isla Mujeres

 coboheme Says:  Coming off the ferry from Cancun, you are assaulted by many vendors asking if you want to go on their special snorkel trips. BE CAREFUL! Some are probably good, but you get what you pay for. My friends and I took a 'special rate' trip. Supposedly three stops for the... 

Off The Beaten Path  

For the strong swimmer only

For the strong swimmer only, Isla Mujeres

 Earthtourist Says:  The far western point of the island has some good snorkeling, but can be dangerous. There is a rocky point that juts out into the sea where waves from the north crash and spray against. On the south side there are coral reefs with sea life of many kinds, including colorful...
