Review of Isla Mujeres Palace

Our travel expert Mandi just returned from an unforgettable trip to Isla Mujeres, where she stayed at Isla Mujeres Palace. You know we love Palace properties, and this resort was no exception. Read her full review below, including what she loved about the property, what she enjoyed about exploring Isla Mujeres, and a few things she didn’t love.

 

How to get to Isla Mujeres

Isla Mujeres is located just Northeast of Cancun. This five-mile long island has a real bohemian vibe, and upon arriving you’ll notice locals getting around by bicycle or foot rather than car.  You can get to the island via a 20-minute ferry ride which departs The Gran Puerto Cancun ferry dock in Puerto Juarez, just a few minutes from downtown Cancun. Keep in mind that if you stay at Isla Mujeres Palace, you can enjoy complimentary sea transportation directly to your hotel. For more details, visit this page, or ask your Enchanted Travel expert about this perk when booking your trip.

If you don’t take advantage of the complimentary sea transportation, a one-way ticket on the public ferry is 160 pesos and a round-trip ticket is just 300 pesos. The boats leave every half hour from 5 AM to 9 PM, and after 9 they leave every hour. Your Enchanted Travel expert can book these for you, but for more details visit this page.

Alternately, you can also take a ferry from Cancun’s hotel zone to Isla Mujeres, but the fare is more expensive at about $14 one-way. If you want to leave from the hotel zone, you can choose from three locations: Playa Tortugas, El Embarcadero and Playa Caracol. Check the timetable if you decide to take this route, but we highly suggest you take advantage of the complimentary sea transportation through Isla Mujeres Palace.

 

Isla Mujeres Palace

This adults-only, couples-only resort on Isla Mujeres is perfect for travelers who are looking for a luxurious 5-star property, but also want to venture off property to explore. Ranked among the top resorts in Isla Mujeres on TripAdvisor, you are sure to love the laid back luxury and seclusion of Isla Mujeres Palace. With just 62 suites, you’ll feel like a VIP no matter which room you choose. Standard amenities include in-room double whirlpool tubs, a liquor cabinet and mini bar, and 24-hour room service.

Mandi thoroughly enjoyed her stay here, and ranked it a 5 (out of 5) overall. She also ranked the rooms and food at a 5 out of 5. Despite the resort being relatively small and boutique-style, they are certainly not lacking in the restaurant department. Besides 24-hour room service, Isla Mujeres Palace also offers Azul, an international buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In addition, you can enjoy a continental breakfast, snacks, and expertly crafted cocktails in the Lobby Bar. Last but not least, venture to the pier area on property to sample fresh ceviches and seafood at La Cevicheria. This beachside restaurant is open from 11 AM to 5 PM every day.

The only aspect of the property that she did not rank as a 5 was the beach. She described it as average and relatively small. If you are looking for a sprawling beach, you may want to stay in Cancun or Riviera Maya. Besides the mediocre beach, there is pretty much no nightlife on the island. If you are looking for clubs and all-night bars, Cancun is where you should stay.

 

Exploring Isla Mujeres

Isla Mujeres is very safe and is also home to North Beach, or Playa Norte. This is one of the top ten best beaches in the entire world and her favorite part of the trip was stopping at local bars and restaurants along North Beach, via her own personal golf cart.

Another place she loved exploring was the Shell House. This is a home on the island that people can rent out, and it is made entirely of seashells! The large tourist attraction is easily accessible via golf cart.

Impression Isla Mujeres beckons travelers to a world of unparalleled luxury and serenity. This exclusive adults-only, all-inclusive resort promises an extraordinary escape from the ordinary, seamlessly blending opulence, natural beauty, and top-notch service. Our agents have loved visiting this property in the last year, and our agent Brandi even spent her 20th wedding anniversary here last summer! Let’s take a look at all this resort has to offer.

Isla Mujeres Creates the Perfect Beautiful Backdrop

Isla Mujeres is known for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and laid-back atmosphere. Impression Isla Mujeres seamlessly integrates into this tropical paradise, surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sounds of the ocean. From the moment you step onto the resort grounds, a sense of tranquility envelops you, setting the stage for an unforgettable trip.

In addition, Isla Mujeres is a great place to explore off property. The smallish island is safe, clean, and beautiful. Brandi and her husband opted to check out Punta Sur, the Southernmost tip of Isla Mujeres. This cliffside park boasts beautiful sculptures, Mayan ruins, a picturesque lighthouse, amazing ocean views, and hiking trails for all skill levels. It is a $6 entry fee per person, making it a good bang for your buck and a super fun way to get off the property and explore! Brandi also suggests you rent golf carts to do some more exploring. They used carts to explore Playa Norte, which is an area full of great local bars and shopping. Don’t miss out on The Joint Reggae Bar (and keep in mind they accept cash only)!

Luxurious Accommodations

Impression Isla Mujeres offers a range of exquisite accommodations, each designed with meticulous attention to detail. There are a total of 125 ultra-luxurious suites on property, creating an intimate, boutique-type setting for your vacation. Each and every suite offers butler service, so you don’t have to worry about a thing once you check in! We are swooning over the breathtaking oceanfront Honeymoon suite – this would be an absolutely perfect place to spend your first days as husband and wife! The modern and elegant decor creates an ambiance of sophistication, while thoughtful amenities cater to the needs of even the most discerning guests.

Culinary Excellence

Indulging in exquisite cuisine is an integral part of the Impression Isla Mujeres experience. The resort features a diverse array of gourmet restaurants, each offering a unique culinary journey. And you won’t find a buffet in sight here – all restaurants are a la carte! Enjoy dining poolside at Mercado, where they serve up wood-fired pizza and a taco bar for lunch time. For dinner, check out Sake for Pan-Asian specialties or Wildfire Grill for steak and seafood. There are tons more options on property, so you are sure to find something to please your taste buds at every turn.

A Blend of Relaxation & Excitement

Beyond its luxurious accommodations and delectable dining options, Impression Isla Mujeres provides a plethora of entertainment and activities to suit every preference. Unwind at the spa, spend a day lounging at the beach, or let loose on their four-story waterslide. In addition, you can enjoy amazing snorkeling right off the beach along one of the largest coral reefs in the world, as well as  yoga with a gorgeous view. Or, just take in the unbeatable views from one of the tiered infinity pools overlooking the ocean.

Impeccable Service

One of the defining characteristics of Impression Isla Mujeres is its unwavering commitment to personalized service. The staff members, known for their warmth and professionalism, go above and beyond to cater to the unique needs and desires of each guest. From the moment you arrive until the time you bid farewell, you’ll be treated to a level of hospitality that transforms your stay into an unforgettable experience.
