About this property

Villa #5 - Isla Retreats | Tropical Gardens + Pool

Our main goal is to provide an adults-only, tranquil and unique Caribbean-Mexican experience. Guests can stay in one of our six private apartments to get away from the hustle-bustle of downtown and everyday life, and to relax and savor the lovely island. The peaceful ambience features a heated salt-water pool with waterfalls, beach chairs and umbrellas, tropical gardens and an exquisite palapa. Isla Retreats is located five minutes from downtown and Playa Norte. A tropical oasis awaits you!

There are 6 private villas at Isla Retreats that sleep 2 people each. All are upscale, tastefully decorated, and fully furnished with everything you will need for your stay.

Enjoy beautiful sunsets and bird watching on the balcony looking over Salina Chica. Villa #5 also has a private roof top patio with a panoramic view of the island.

Our saltwater pool is only for guests staying at Isla Retreats. To keep the grounds quiet, safe and private, we do not allow use of the pool by people who are not staying at Isla Retreats. You can enjoy the sounds of the waterfall while sitting by the pool or under the palapa.

Isla Retreats was a perfect find for us. Everything was immaculate with modern amenities and a beautifully cared for property. This was a last minute booking and Katy was so communicative and helpful and quickly addressed a couple of our requests. The staff was friendly and great at servicing the room. The location is in the middle of the island so a quick and cheap cab ride anywhere, with plenty of walkable restaurants or they can set you up with a golf cart rental delivered to the hotel. So convenient. We also loved the resident cats who were friendly and lovable if you approach them. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful, relaxing and super clean

Absolutely loved this property from beginning to end! Katy's communication from the beginning was wonderful. She was very informative about what to expect. She booked our golf cart and had it on site and ready for us upon arrival then booked our taxi to take us to ferry on the day of departure. While staying, Katy was very responsive to any questions. The location and property were wonderful. We loved the fact that it is a small property with beautiful landscaping and very clean. All the staff were so friendly. Room was spacious and very clean. We would definitely stay again!

Absolutely stunning property

This is mine and my husbands 7th visit to the island over the last 2-3 years. My only regret is not having found this beautiful property sooner! It was absolutely everything we wanted and needed. The pool is clean and peaceful. The location is great. It’s about 5-10 mins by golf cart to north beach an about 10-15 to the south end. Honestly the perfect location. Katy was incredibly helpful and very responsive. We can’t wait to come back. We stayed 4 nights, but it’s so comfortable, we wanted to stay a few more nights! We are already looking forward to our next visit.

This Upscale Resort Is Immaculate

The attention to detail and the thoughtful gestures made our experience truly unforgettable. First and foremost, the communication with the Katy was exceptional. She were prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful. Katy has put a great deal of effort into maintaining a pristine environment. It felt as though we were the first and only guests to ever set foot in the resort. The attention to cleanliness and hygiene provided us with peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our stay. Furthermore, the thoughtful touches and amenities provided by the Katy truly made us feel welcome. From the bottle of wine left for us to enjoy to the abundance of towels and toiletries available, we felt like every detail had been carefully considered. If you want to enjoy the island without the rowdiness and drunken behavior of other tourists this is the place to be. The sweet kitties that stay outside did it for me. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice to stay. We will definitely be back! Book your stay at Isla Retreats, you will love it!

Great little gem of a place.

What a wonderful oasis this place is. The suite was beautiful, super clean and extremely well equipped. The little saltwater pool was perfect. The small garden area fit perfectly. But the best thing was Katy, the awesome host. She was extremely friendly and super helpful with any questions of the area. She pointed us to all the best eateries and places to check out. She had a golf cart ready for us on arrival and looked after its return afterwards. We highly recommend Isla Retreats for you next stay in Isla Mujeres.

Very clean and private. Beautiful property!

Beautiful property and villas. Perfect for individuals or groups. We were part of a group of 10. We stayed in #5. Maids were impeccable. Restaurants are within walking distance or take a cheap taxi ride downtown to other wonderful restaurants. Katy is a wealth of knowledge on the island. We rented a golf cart for 2 days to explore the island, which Katy lined up for us as well. We can't wait to go back!

Beautiful, peaceful and perfectly situated

This was the second time we stayed here- in the exact same villa. The villa itself is well-appointed and has a beautiful view of the lagoon on the patio. Nature is abundant and we enjoyed taking in the sunsets from our room. Overall, the setting is a peaceful and perfectly maintained retreat. The host (Katy)is amazing and very attentive to everything. This year, avoiding the crowds downtown during the holiday season, we spent many warm days relaxing by the pool reading and talking with the other guests. Our family joined us this year and spent a relaxing time in two other adjoining villas on the property. It was a perfect family vacation.Note that the retreat is located in a quiet part of the island. In the mornings we would buy fresh tacos, eggs and fresh squeezed juice down the street and cook our own breakfasts. The villa is a short walk to excellent neighborhood restaurants. Its close enough to walk to down town - but its a short golf cart ride as well. This year, Katy arranged our cart ahead of time for us! In summary: Absolutely perfect for a long and relaxing getaway! We hope to return to the exact same villa next year!

Lovely, quiet and perfectly located.

Isla Retreats is exactly as advertised - quiet, modern, and very comfortable. It was nice to be away from the bustle of downtown while still only a 50 peso taxi ride away. This is a great location from which to enjoy all that the island has to offer. There are restaurants, grocery stores and bars within walking distance but the secure premises of Isla Retreats offers serenity. The lovely pool was great to come back to after a day touring the island or at the beach. We stayed in Villa 5 and it was perfect for a couple - the bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was fully outfitted and the rooftop patio was a wonderful place to watch the sun set. Katy was very accommodating and the staff were lovely. Highly recommend!

Beautiful property! Perfect location!! Best vacation ever!!

We booked Isla Retreats, and villa #5 based on the amenities for the cost or "bang for the buck" as we like to say, and it absolutely did NOT disappoint!! This is place is AMAZING! From the moment we walked in, we knew we had made the right decision. Everything was pristine, from the beautiful pool and palapa area, to the sculptures and landscaping. It truly was, a little slice of heaven. What we didn't know when we arrived, was how great of a host Katy was!! She would always stop whatever she was doing, and make sure even the smallest of our needs were met! She has also lived on Isla for many years, and always had the best recommendations for meals, activities, etc... In summary, with over 20 trips to the Cancun area, we've decided this one was our favorite! We will be back soon, and won't look anywhere else but Isla Retreats!!
