It's been a month since we stayed there, and i still think about it most days - it's hard to describe this place in a few sentences and to do it justice! The buildings, the gardens, the views, the people - it really is an oasis in a hectic world! If you want an authentic experience, go stay there. If you want party and all inclusive, don't. But why would you go to Isla Mujeres for the latter?? That's not why you come here. At El Milagro, all the units have very nicely equipped kitchen facilities (and they are BEAUTIFUL, Mexian tile!), and there are numerous restaurants and bars within walking distance. Playa Norte and downtown are also walkable, and we did it several times, but it's not for everyone - we felt totally safe doing it, but it was VERY HOT, so next time, we'll probably get some sort of transportation (or take cabs more often, they are cheap). Eric the owner and Ingi the manager made our stay even better - they make you feel like family as soon as you arrive and go out of their way to be helpful (plus, we had lots of nice chats with them!). All the staff are super friendly and we felt right at home from the start. I left there with a heavy heart, but I know we'll be back!! I think when we go back, we may just stay at the place for a few days without going ANYWHERE - we were at Isla for the first time so felt the need to explore (and loved it), but towards the end, we left the place less and less and just hung around all the beautiful outdoor areas - hammocks, beach loungers, the little pool which we spent hours in...I miss having my morning coffee out on the pier, watching - quite literally - the early birds :). Just go, you'll love it there!!! (PS: My husband is hard to please when it comes to accommodations, and he even loved the place!!)
