The AC was excellent. Book a room as far as you can away from the street. Loud music and party vibes at noc. Usually quiet by 11 pm. Hot water not hot on two days. Internet signal lost a half of the stations on my last night.

The property is basic. Some rooms are dark and uninviting, others are nice. The hotel photographs look misleadingly great. Read the reviews and note the numerical rating. The shower water pressure was weak and the hot water temperature was room temperature - the two ladies in our group were very uncomfortable with this. Nice to have privileges at the private beach across the street and also at the ridiculously expensive sister hotel there (Jaguar at $550 a nite for peak low season). I got room seevice and the meat was bad and I threw up till 6am. For this, they gave me an upgraded pillow on the beach lounge chair. Honestly! No refund on the meal, not even a complimentary drink. They are very penny pinching, but all nice enough. The air conditioning was good.

Simple, nothing even remotely fancy, across the street from their nice private beach, 4 hotel rooms per structure, barely enough water pressure and hot water for a shower, powerful air conditioning, no lobby, small shaded pool, noisy neighborhood at night at bed time, decent breakfast included, steep steps to 2nd level units are tough for elders, somewhat bohemian. About a 10 - 15 minute walk to the bustling fun town center, 25 minute walk to the water taxis to Cancun.

A bit noisy from people walking by at nite talking and playing music. There is no lobby. Open grounds, small structures with connecting pathways, each has 4 units in them. A block from its own private beach it shares with its much nicer sister hotel across the street.

The quietest, most beautiful hotel. It is basic amenities and no restaurant (you go to the Jaguar for the free breakfast) and they are very protective of the towels but the pool area is breathtaking and the included beach club beds are just what you need.

Hotel has a sister property that guests are allowed to use called La casa del Jaguar. Sebastian who works in this resort was extremely rude to me and my family. He told us we were not allowed to walk through the hotel and had to walk around. He said we each had to have a bracelet on to be allowed through. when our receptionist clearly only gave us one for the whole family. When I came back to the hotel to inquire about this i was indeed told we did the correct thing and didn’t need a bracelet each. Very un pleasant situation. I met with the manager to la casa del Jaguar who assured me we had access to the beach through their hotel and to disregard what he had said. Nonetheless it made for an unpleasant encounter. Hotel claims this is a sister hotel but the whole time you are there you are treated inferior than the guests at this resort. Na Balam hotel staff was very accommodating and understanding. Hotel was always very clean and the rooms were perfect for a family of 5.

Ok here’s the bad to get it over with. ZERO customer service. No hot water for showers for 6 days. Bed pillows are like cement. Room keys are ridiculous…outdated..need to be updated. Property has lots of outdoor lighting all night and the room window curtains are very thin and white so the room stays very light all night. Only two towels per room per day. Small bottles of water (2) that does not taste good - not sealed so not sure where it came from…. But they will sell you a sealed bottle at the desk. No toiletries included. The pool always looked cloudy and the hot tub was only hot for 2 of our 6 days. Now the GOOD … very clean rooms that smelled fresh every time we walked in. Never had this in Mexico before. Hands down - the BEST a beach club access with excellent service. Hats off to Sebastian!! Easy access to bathroom from beach club. The breakfast was repetitive but good. Coffee, juice, eggs toast and little potatoes. It got old and you could also get pancakes. But always room to eat when we wanted. We are early risers so most days we had breakfast around 7:30 am. The hotel was mostly quiet….no noise at night. We lost power once at midnight but a generator kicked on quickly so no big deal. A/C worked perfectly as did the ceiling fan. The location of this hotel is fantastic. We met many friendly guests. If it was not for the lousy guest service at the desk… I won’t go into detail…I would’ve rated this higher. We go for the beach and for this I give *****.

The property is impeccably clean and well-maintained, offering a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. While it lacks some wall décor or additional decorations, it remains a comfortable and pleasant space. However, the complimentary breakfast experience was disappointing. Guests are directed to a neighboring hotel across the street, where the staff, aware that the breakfast is free, offer limited options and an unprofessional, somewhat cold service. Additionally, the wait time was longer compared to regular guests of that hotel. The beach beds were also located at the neighboring hotel, tucked away in a corner, far from the main guest areas. To make matters worse, there were no umbrellas provided to shield from the sun, leaving guests exposed to the elements. This made for a less-than-ideal beach experience.

This will be my second and final time at this hotel. I know the rooms are basic and run down, and that’s why it’s inexpensive. But the room reeked of mothballs so badly, and the small windows don’t have screens on them, so it was impossible to air the room out. Items that stayed in my suitcase the entire trip (this was a two night trip at the end of a longer visit in the region) smelled like mothballs when I came back home too, it was that strong. Then the parting shot was at checkout, when the front desk person deigned to look up from her phone to see what I wanted. I asked nicely if she could call for a taxi. Her response: we don’t do that. We walked away and saw taxi’s down the street. It’s a great location, but i can do better, and you can too.

We wanted to stay near North Beach on Isla Mujeres. We also couldn't afford places like the Casa Del Jaguar. Na Balam is right across the street from CDJ and it's a sister hotel you walk through it for daily included Breakfast and to access the beach. (at less than half the price it's a steal) You also get a "RED BED" a dedicated space on the beach with queen sized red beds one for each room so you never have to worry about a nice place on the beach, you also get a secure bathroom and you're 10-20 steps away from the water. The hotel looks like you're walking into a jungle oasis, it has a lovely pool and hot tub, we didn't use either as the Caribbean was perfect day in and day out. North beach is famous for good reason, it's walkable 200 yards/meters out and still anywhere from knee/waist or chest deep, so refreshing and kind of perfect ! There are good food option on the beach, whether it be from Casa or any of the beach front restaurants all were solid option IMO. Around the corner you get a nice bakery (get there early for the best selection. a 4.9 rated burger place Pinchos, good burrito place Beach-in Burritos & more. You're also a short walk to the popular Hidalgo street ( & by short I mean 5 mins 11 from ParadICE Gelato the far end of the strip and next to the municipal square. We happened to hit Isla during Carnival it was loaded with street celebrations and we never felt unsafe. Value was good not great for food, and the food was good very good everywhere.

Great little hotel, beach bed access is understated on here. Staff was all incredibly kind, went above and beyond. Noise, like others said, is really the only issue I can think of, however it is thatched roofs, so it is to be expected. Would definitely stay again!
