My wife and I went to Isla Mujeres about 4 years ago and stayed at the Avalon. For the money...you can't beat it! The island is beautiful and peaceful. The beach area at the hotel is great. We did do the all inclusive. The food is okay and the alcohol a bit watered down. Overall a good experience. We are considering going back this summer.
We travel quite often and this was by far the worst place I have ever stayed. We were given the option of all inclusive and thank goodness, did not opt for it. The food was not only disgusting, but cold. I realize the food in Mexico is never that great, but this topped the list. The waiters, except for one, were rude and uphelpful. I also ...
This is not a luxury hotel, but for the price it's a very pleasant experience. The room was a little sterile and cold, but we were hardly in the room. The hotel beach is AMAZING and it's great to tour the island on a golf cart. If you're looking for a wild vacation though this isn't it, it's more quiet family type pace. The ...
My husband & I just returned f/ 9 days at Avalon Reef on Isla Mujeres. It was our honeymoon-We really enjoyed ourselves. We were skeptical about it But we were sure surprised. Avalon definitely surpassed our expectations! We did the all-inclusive plan. We still ate at several different locations on the island. We stayed in a studio. The studio ...

Just got back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/11/08
Staff not very accomidating-Rooms smelled horrible-a mixture of cigarette smoke and insence-prices of rooms kept changing when we inquired (we had to switch hotels)-they cater more to big groups like weddings-could care less about people staying in one or two rooms-One couple I met were very frustrated as they had booked one of their ...

Once is enough!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/10/08
First of all the service was very poor to say the least. When we arrived we had to hunt where to check in. Beach service, well let's say there was no service at all. Bar service was some what better but not what you would expect. Choice of liquers was bottom of the line. Resturant service was slow slow.
Room was comfortable but very small. ...

Not bad
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/27/08
It is secluded and you wont be bothered. I ordered room service on Mon. 24 hrs later I took the tray outside and placed it by the door and on Thurs it was finally removed (Yes, 3 days later). The servers were great but, not enough of them. It seemed as if they were understaffed. If you don't get your towels out early enough on the beach ...

Loved it so much, were staying!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/25/07
My wife and I chose this as our honeymoon destination. We were NOT dissapointed! The resort was absolutely picturesque, the staff were always willing to bend over backwards to accomodate you in any way they could, the food was great, and the weather was unbelievable! We went in June of this year (2007). Another review, dated May 2007, says that the ...
