I have been in Cancun for 6 times and once i visited Isla Mujeres...I said Goodbye to Cancun right away. So now Cancun is just my transit. Love IM.

[@3Days3Noches]

Yes I need to go again and experience it better!

[@libanmohamed7501]

I did the same thing. I only land in Cancun and travel elsewhere. Next week I am doing 2 wks around the Yucatan. Valladolid, Tulum , Cozumel, and then Isla.

[@3Days3Noches]

So fun!

[@brdesign4657]

This place is the best. We have been there many times and got engaged there as well! Lots of memories. You can't just do a day trip...your going to miss so much of the island. This video shows exactly what NOT to do. Which is ride the outside perimeter of the island. The actual downtown area with the bars, restaurants, and shops are interior to the island by playa norte on Hidalgo street

[@3Days3Noches]

Thank you so much!! It was actually a local who told us to do that lol. But your advice is so much better. Definitely need to experience this island the right way soon!!

[@moestu]

Respectfully - this video sounds like one long complaint after another. I stayed in Isla back in July and I am going back in January and had such a different experience than you, even factoring in that you went for just the day. I was very shocked when at the end you said you enjoyed yourself, after it being too hot, too crowded, to full (satisfied) to eat or drink, to many scammers, nothing to buy, crowded ferry....... Go back and maybe spend one night, the hotels have such a great price range, there is snorkeling, Tortugranga , the Underwater Museum, the nice beach clubs, the beautiful Playa Norte. Have dinner on the strip on the north side with all the restaurants, or one of the beach front restaurants. I thought I would get some tips, well the bus was a good tip, but the rest of the video fell short. Good luck.

[@3Days3Noches]

Thank you so much! Yes from all the comments I have to agree with you. I should have done more research before going. I had just need to Isla Saona in DR so I think I had some preconceived notions for sure. Thanks for the comment! It helps me improve my content and I’m going back next week but only for a day trip but I’ll be sure to hit the right spots this time. 😊

We stayed at the Grand Moon Palace and took a day catamaran tour trip to the island. Like many have said here, one day is not enough to really explore and enjoy the island. I want to take more time the next time we go back and really experience this beautiful island. They will be closing the Palace resort on Isla Mujeres soon and making it into a wellness resort/retreat.

I know. I can’t wait to go back again! Interesting about the Palace! I think that’s smart.

[@HeatherSuggitt]

I was a "big resort person" for years but due to the unpredictable seaweed, I've started to go to Isla Mujeres.It's true that many of the resorts are not as upscale as Riviera Maya/Cancun but there magic on this island if you take the time to discover it. For example, we went to the Women's Bead Cooperative to support the women and children who make beaded jewelry and to Isla Animales where you can play with dogs hoping to catch the next flight to the US. Take a look at the AirBnBs and Casa de los Suenos on the South Side. We stay a few days on North Beach for the beach and the party then go to the south side for a more chill vibe. It's worth a second look!

[@3Days3Noches]

Omg this sounds amazing!!! I definitely will!! Thanks for the recommendations

[@dawannwilliams6301]

Thank you for your honest review. I will be going to Playa in November 2022 and was considering a day trip to the island on our own. The trips from the resorts or online don’t really seem to allow enough time to actually explore the island itself. Based on your review and some of the comments if we decide to do a day trip it will be mid-week and maybe we will do an overnight stay at a cheap resort. Continued blessings and continued safe travels.

Thanks for the great video! We are also staying at Sun Palace soon and want to trek to Isla Mujeres for a day trip. A couple of questions - how far is the IM Palace from Playa Norte beach? Was 2-ish hours enough to visit the beach and Palace? Finally, is there are place to shower/rinse off at the Palace after swimming in the ocean? We are planning a catamaran/snorkeling tour that allows 2.5 hours on the island and definitely want to visit the beach first then head to Palace to cool off and have lunch.

[@3Days3Noches]

Thanks for watching! If you rent a golf cart it’s about 20 minutes depending on how busy the island is. It’s at the opposite side of Playa Norte. I only saw outdoor rinse off showers. The bathrooms we used which were outside when you first got there were just bathrooms but wondering now if they had some by the pool maybe too? It’s super tiny so not sure! Sounds fun! We did a few videos on Sun Palace too so check them out!!

[@giampothewanderer]

Do you have to show your passport to buy tickets or get on the ferry? Is it safe to leave your belongings on the beach when you swim in the sea?

You do not have to show your passport. Honestly I don’t know about the safety there while swimming

[@casabene2389]

This is a great review however this video was made at least a year ago and very, very limited as it only shows what you can do within max 3 hours on the Island. We live in Isla Mujeres and we have seen all sides and seasons of the Island and just like everything else that is changing all the time especially now the Covid is "done". The Palace resort is actually located in the Hotel Zone in Cancun but that is NOT downtown Cancun. The hotel zone bus is only 10 peso and will take you to the nearest Hotel Zona Ferry locations or downtown and from there you would have to take collectivo or taxi to Puerto Juarez. Now besides the ones she mention in the video there is a new ferry as well a more upscale version of the Ultramar ferry called Xcaret but they have limited hours of operations and only go back and fort from the Hotel Zona to Isla Mujeres. However with your Xcaret ferry ticket you get access to the best view from the top of the Cancun Scenic Tower. There is a main ferry station in Puerto Juarez (Ultramar and Jetway) and just 5 min walk away the local ferry ( Jetway) that usually goes every other 30 min than Ultramar. So if you miss the ferry you can walk down and take the other one but do not have high expectations is not as nice as Ultramar. First ferry at 6am last ferry 11pm. If you want to bring your car over you need to go even further to Punta Sam cargo ferry station to take your car over what is 400 peso per ride including the fare of the driver. Now if you have Mexican residency you get discounts everywhere except here, for the car ferry the pay is same for everyone. If you get to the island around 9 am you could possible rent a golf car for the whole day cost is about $55-60 depending on the seasons and availability. Also you can rent scoters and bicycles! What the lady in the video did not see is there is very cute downtown area just a couple blocks in, by north beach with amazing restaurants and shops, live music , tequila tasting , mariachis, ice cream shops juice bars and more. There is soo much more of this cute little Island that we don't have the time to explain here but now we are inspired to create videos like this is explain the isnad a bit more as we understand how limited someone's experience could get if they don't know much about the Island and or don't have much time. The beach here is one of the best in the whole Riviera Maya she did not make to the North beach what is incredibly beautiful and the "VIP" resort she was was not even close as it is a located another area so for that reason the beach is very different there. Do not miss North Beach when you go to Isla it is worth the trip. There are so many other things to do on the Island: sunrise tour at the south point and ruins, Beach clubs at the Isla Hotel Zone, Downtown Shopping, Isla Mujeres Sign on the east end by north beach, dine out at and enjoy nightlife at downtown Avenida Hidalgo, Dolphin Discovery at the end of the lagoon, Zip line by the South Point, enjoy local restaurants and shopping in La Gloria in the middle of the island, sunset sail and more! Come visit us in Isla Mujeres you won't be disappointed. We hope to see you at Isla Mujeres.

There’s so much American culture that I’m not feeling like I’m in Mexico. But I am still getting to work on my Spanish. Also the local bed n breakfast give a great food and service experience too.

So just a few things.. is not “La” Isla just Isla Mujeres and it’s Playa Norte not Playa “del” Norte. Also, there are three different ferry terminals such as Puerta Juarez and the car ferry as well to get there. We love Isla and kinda sad you didn’t even go to Playa Norte (we stay at Privilege Aluxes on Playa Norte every year) and the beach is one of the most beautiful in the world. And the reason the vendors are geared towards tourists is because wellll it’s a tourist island.. I mean just saying.. the people there that work on that island are like family and I think everyone should go and check it out!! See Punta Sur where the Mayan ruins are, the furthest point in Mexico, and Hidalgo street in Centro, visit the Melacon on the north east part and again Playa Norte!! White sands for days and the prettiest aqua water with no seaweed!! You’ll get the best massage on the beach as well for 600 pesos or $30 US for an hour! It’s amazing! and avoid the south side of the island where the palace is because the beach on that side is lagoons and not very pretty. This whole video just made me sad as it’s the worst representation of this amazing island!!

[@rahimquazi-fe1kn]

Isla Mujeres is not a cookie cutter resort island. What you showcased were the gross tourist trap areas. Isla about discovering your own personal experience throughout the interior streets. The beauty and peace are there for the finding. Playa Norte is world class pristine beaches and the southern tip, Punta Sur, is wonderfully dramatic wth it's crashing waves and Mayan Temple. Scratching the surface here reveals a depth that isn't for everybody.

[@johnsteelman1410]

Hello, do I need a Visa to go to Mexico ?

[@3Days3Noches]

Hi! You do not woo hoo

[@foreverhomepetrescue]

Good thing to also know is that the island is HOT... hotter than the Hotel Zone. If you are walking from the ferry to the North beaches, the ocean breeze is blocked by the shops and it can be VERY VERY uncomfortable for seniors, young children or anyone who is sensitive to heat.

[@foreverhomepetrescue]

Also... if going for the day, GO EARLY. We skip the golf cart and go to the beach clubs just south of Playa del Norte. You pay $14 per person for the day for a lounge chair, umbrella and a small table right on the water in the sand. They have menus of actually REALLY good food and will serve you drinks all day on a tab. If you get to the beach clubs by around 9am you are guaranteed a spot and no crowds - it doesn't start to get busy until after noon- and we typically leave about 3pm to head back to the Hotel Zone. :)

This might be better answered by a travel agent but I’m assuming it would be cheapest to fly into Cancun and then either stay at a resort on the island or stay in Cancun somewhere and take a day trip there. I prefer staying in Cancun and taking a day trip!!

[@haiminh4263]

Cheaper way to get to Isla Mujeres from L.A.: Book a flight from Tijuana to Cancun. Drive to San Diego, park your car across from the CBX (cross border express), enter Tijuana airport from the US side of the border. Domestic flight costs 40-50% less than from LAX to Cancun :)

Have some great fresh seafood with your toes in the sand. Enjoy some music and a nightcap on El Patio's rooftop. Generally just go relax, live and be happy. Enjoy the people of Isla.

Thank you so much!!!! I will direct people to your suggestions!!

[@itzag33]

You should actually try to explore the island, you missed out on plenty!

[@3Days3Noches]

I know! I’ve gotten alot of comments about it. Def will explore more next time.

[@dianawestrup7416]

This is the perfect example NOT to enjoy Isla. Lack of information. You missed the southern tip which is called The Garrafón, Playa Norte, everything! You ended up "having a drink" which you might as well have done anywhere else. Your fault, my friend, not Isla Mujeres'. Sincerely. From a local.

[@3Days3Noches]

Yes you’re right! I’m going back in November to do it the right way!! Thanks foe the tips!!!

[@kendrabhola4485]

Must say this video is lacking some KEY things you must know before going. You need a drivers license to rent a golf cart. Also a lot of places including the main golf rental only take pesos. This is huge to know and could make or break your trip here. And a must try is the mangos with sauce and spices they will change your life!

[@3Days3Noches]

Awesome thank you!!! Yes it’s definitely not our best video.

[@paulinomano]

you forgot the best part of the beach area. next time go to mia hotel area that’s the most beautiful area without seen crowded people.

[@3Days3Noches]

Thank you! Can’t wait to try it!!

[@mcbrida]

Great tips but the motion blur on the video makes it almost unwatchable.

[@3Days3Noches]

Thanks for watching! Really? I haven’t gotten any comments about that.

[@user-ez8nd1lo4i]

WAY too many sweeping shots back and forth. Would be much better to not swing the camera back and forth.@@3Days3Noches

[@3Days3Noches]

@user-ez8nd1lo4i thank you!

[@mattchisholm6828]

Terrible representation of Isla Mujeres. Hopefully nobody follows your recommendations and instructions.

[@3Days3Noches]

Yes many people are commenting the same! Any tips would be great! I’m going back in November hopefully for a different experience. I didn’t have a great one or maybe I didn’t know where to go! Thanks for watching! All comments are good because it helps viewers make a better informed choice 😁

[@sylvieh1063]

I thought her tips were super helpful! Thanks!!

[@mistyloeks]

Agreed!! Stuck up attitude!!

[@LC-jh3es]

@@3Days3Noches graceful response.

[@3Days3Noches]

Not my intention! I’m sorry I came across that way. Was just trying to give the perspective I was seeing! Will work on that!!! Again sorry.

[@thatssolonden7267]

The bus ride is actually .52 cents per ride

[@3Days3Noches]

Even more amazing;)

[@jayarthur9759]

Informative but it's nice to mention cost MXC/USD

[@3Days3Noches]

Thank you that’s a great tip!!! Will definitely do that next time!!

[@3Days3Noches]

He wanted us to mention Mexican costs vs us

[@xavierrodriguez-sr8cv]

Negative nelly over here

[@3Days3Noches]

I know!! After watching it did come off that way. Sorry :(. Was just trying to prevent others from making our mistakes lol

[@Paola10072000]

Not helpful because I won’t have access to the resort.

[@3Days3Noches]

Actually they’ve closed the resort since we’ve been there!!

[@neilcharles2520]

$10.00 Margarita?Believe me you are not getting Don Julio unless you see them pop it open..It's the biggest rip off....buy your liquor and take it with you,i have been doing it for decades,Tequila/rum/whiskey and Fresh coconut water with ice is much better than a margarita..

[@3Days3Noches]

😊

[@curtismansell5254]

Rent an AirB&B and a golf cart for a week in Isla Mujeres and 1) you will never stay at a resort again, and 2) you will never stay in Cancun again. Just FYI

[@3Days3Noches]

Need to do this!!

[@DannyWalker247]

Why would anyone go to that dump when they could just go to Florida beaches? I have been to the Caribbean and Mexican beaches and every time I just could not wait to get back home to Florida.

[@3Days3Noches]

It depends where you go in Florida!

[@Daverock302]

Wow this video does nothing to show you the island 🤦‍♂️, there is so much more this island has to offer. This is the last video you should watch if you’re considering staying there. Downtown Isla is amazing, all kinds of bars, great restaurants, street performers and souvenir shops. North beach is great if you actually give it a try.

[@3Days3Noches]

I know! We didn’t do this island justice it seems. We got instructions from the resort and a local and I guess they weren’t good ones or we didn’t follow them well ha ha. We went back and did a sunset boat tour which was amazing but am definitely going back to do it right.

[@waltino81]

What time do the bars usually close and which do you recommend?

[@Daverock302]

@@waltino81 most bars close around midnight. Just take a walk down Hidalgo street and pick a bar. There’s tons of them and all of them have roll up doors so when the place is open you can just look right in without having to walk through a door so that’s nice. I would recommend Green Demon beach club for a day of drinking and eating at north beach. Renting a bed with an umbrella is only like $40 USD or something. Also would recommend staying in a VRBO or AirBnb. Make sure it’s on the north end of the island if you don’t want to drive. Most of what you’re gonna do is on the north end.

[@ARmYofSixxTH]

So you went to check out the other hotel lol

[@3Days3Noches]

And to get a feel for the island. That resort is closed now :(

[@RayzeR_RayE]

Yall are crazy if you don't stay at Priv Alux

I have to check it out!!

[@slammy222]

That wasn’t playa Norte, you were in the wrong playa

[@3Days3Noches]

[@adamstackhouse2051]

8-10$ for a margarita? Nah

It was actually more than that! $8-10 isn’t bad
