Loved the video the info and the food!! Added to the list lol. Just as a suggestion some prices would be awesome as well. Just get a good Idea if the restaurant or place is budget friendly or not. Thanks 🎉😊
Hey there thanks so much! Glad my video was able to help you with some good dining options, there are so many. I thought about adding prices but we paid cash for most things and couldn't remember them all. Let's just say that most places were mid range $$ but if you like to drink cocktails it adds quite a bit more depending on where you go. I am working on another video now and will add the prices. I appreciate the comment and the feedback! Have a blast on your trip 🇲🇽🌴☀️🤙
Hey thanks so much! It's funny I'm actually heading to the Caribbean next, following in your footsteps lol (well different islands). Have a great time on Isla looking forward to your videos! I appreciate the comment ☀️🌴🇲🇽🤙
Hey there that's awesome you went! Yes those tacos sure were amazing! Glad you enjoyed! Hope you enjoy the rest of your time on Isla. Thanks for the comment 🌴 🇲🇽 ☀️ 🤙
Isla is one of my favorite places in the world. I love staying on that side of the island the most. So awesome!! Thank you eating my video and the comment!! 🇲🇽🌴☀️🤙
We are here now and love it. If you are looking for a slow pace and a place to get the beach and walk the town, this cant be beat. We even connected with a local group to play pickleball a couple of morning. As for prices, we went to some of the best and most popular spots and found prices to be cheaper than any of the nice beach spots in the U.S….thought prices were very fair.
Hey awesome to hear that! I love it there also, i love the pace and beautiful beaches of course. Nice you were able to meet a local group. So much to do and so much great food! Have a blast on Isla and thanks for the comment. Enjoy! 🌴☀️🏝🇲🇽
i don't think i've seen a review this good in a while! Thanks for the tips man and Halamadrid lol i saw that jersey and from there u already got my respect lolll
She's a little traveler and a joy to bring along for sure. Even though I feel she's happiest at home lol. But we brought a little fan and she cooled off in the water a bit, and got to eat chicken when we went out, living the best life. Thank you for the comment! ⛱️ 🌴☀️
Hey thanks so much! Usually Playa Norte is clear from seaweed, although I saw it was quite bad a few weeks ago. The locals and volunteers made a quick effort to clean it up. There is a bit more on Playa Centro but it depends on the time of year but more recently it's been hit or miss. I've been there many times and usually isn't as bad as parts of Cancun and Playa del Carmen or not much at all. Hopefully it will be clear when you go.
Yes you should definitely bring it. There were a couple beaches on the island that were no fly zones close to the airport but you can unlock and otherwise good to go. Hope you get some great shots! 🇲🇽🤙🌴
I believe you have to take a ferry from Punta Sam which is the closest to your resort, probably around 10 minutes. But I am not so familiar with Playa Mujeres, I would recommend checking with your resort regarding transfer to Isla. Hope you have a great time!! 🌴🤙
@richmugavero7654 I’d definitely recommend getting pesos. From my experience, whenever I paid in USD, they’d give me a lower exchange rate and then give me change in pesos anyway. You’ll usually get better value by exchanging for pesos first, so it’s worth it! I'd check with your bank or exchange when you arrive. Airport is usually the worst.
I noticed a vape in the video but was told you cant bring it. Can you buy them there? why would they say they confiscate it at airports but sell them there?
The info online is confusing for sure. Some say they're legal, and some say they will be confiscated. My wife had no problem bringing a few of them in. I'm not sure about the convenient stores but there are beach vendors that also sell them, got one for around 200 pesos. With their popularity I'd be surprised if it's illegal to bring them in. Anyway, we had no problem but you can always buy them there. Right makes no sense!
Great info on Isla! We go for the first time in June. Any chance you have an email for Na Balam? We booked there through a travel site but I would like an email confirmation through Na Balam.
Leave the glass containers at home. People have stepped on broken glass bottles and cut a main vein and nearly bled to death. I prefer glass too, but what is more important..
It's not a review about Isla Mujeres, it's a commercial about bars and restaurants, with the same boring soulless music that you can hear in most travel yt videos.
@@matthewkingtravelspay no mind to the useless negativity. We were there back in 2019 and just on a short day trip and have been wanting to go back and are looking for any tips and good places to go. Thanks for the helpful info. Only critique is I Would have liked to hear some of the prices you paid for the meals and drinks just to gauge what we’ll need to spend to get a decent meal, but it was cool seeing some of the places we did visit again.
@tpotts4 Thanks so much, I appreciate it! Glad you are going back to visit, Isla is a place we always return to as it holds a special place in our hearts! Yeah I need to get better at recording the costs, but if you're up for it you can always find the menus online. Will include them in future videos. Thanks again for the nice comment, hope you have a blast on Isla Mujeres! 🙏🌴🤙🏝
Didn't think the place was over run by tourists. I went the start of slow season. But that 13% tax and gratuity on everything did make it expensive. Loved the island!
Apologies, I thought this comment was on my Anguilla video. I do think it's expensive on Isla and some places definitely over priced. Got way more expensive over the years for sure. Yes if you eat locally you can still find cheap eats. Love it there personally but probably won't return for a while since there's so many great places to visit in the world. Thanks for the comment! 🤙
solid review well done

Hala Madrid! Yeah buddy! Thank you for the comment man I appreciate it 🙏🌴🌞🇲🇽 🤙
I absolutely ❤❤❤ that you took your dog with you❣️❣️❣️
We have a Boston. She can’t take the heat, hence she stays back with my parents in Michigan 😅
She's a little traveler and a joy to bring along for sure. Even though I feel she's happiest at home lol. But we brought a little fan and she cooled off in the water a bit, and got to eat chicken when we went out, living the best life. Thank you for the comment! ⛱️ 🌴☀️
hey good video what abour the seaweed how to avoid them

Where did u rent your golf cart? i usually get mine at cabañas maria Hotel, usually the cheapest place
Yep cheapest we found as well, thats where we rented I believe. We usually rent from Pepe's but crazy how much prices have gone up around the island.
is it okay to fly your drone there thinking about bringing mine
Yes you should definitely bring it. There were a couple beaches on the island that were no fly zones close to the airport but you can unlock and otherwise good to go. Hope you get some great shots! 🇲🇽🤙🌴
We are staying at ateliers playa mujeres, do they take you there and back?

@@matthewkingtravels thank you so much!
Do they take usd or pesos

Hella overpriced and overrun by tourists
Didn't think the place was over run by tourists. I went the start of slow season. But that 13% tax and gratuity on everything did make it expensive. Loved the island!
Not if you eat locally
