Don't go to Isla Mujeres with Aquaworld

  • 1 out of 5 stars by K. Blanchard from Suffolk County, Massachusetts
  • April 25, 2011
Quote: You are better off taking the ferry. The Aquaworld trip promised a nice ride back and forth, lunch on their private beach, snorkling, and a trip into town. Well it was a BEER cruise, not fit for families, and the loud music over a crappy loudspeaker... Read the full Isla Mujeres review

An Island, A Buggy and An Adventure!
Quote: Only a fifteen minute ferry ride away from Cancun, Isla Mujeres is a world away from its rather louder and brasher mainland neighbour and despite its popularity amongst day trippers, it offers a quaint and often calming atmosphere against the... Read the full Isla Mujeres review

  • June 23, 2008
Quote: Isla Mujeres is far different as far as the vendors go.In Cancun, they are disgusting and insulting if you do not buy from them, pushy as heck and when it comes down to it, the deals are not that great to begin with.However, in Isla Mujeres the... Read the full Isla Mujeres review

Different Experience from Cancun

  • 4 out of 5 stars by glendkaplan from Jessup, Maryland
  • December 21, 2007
Quote: Isla Mujeres is a very nice place. We traveled there from Cancun on a guided tour, which wasn't worth it. The tour operators were more interested in rushing us through the snorkeling and into the tourist trap souvenir shops. The ferry ride back... Read the full Isla Mujeres review

Isla Mujeres
Quote: We didn't want to take any of the tour packages for our trip to Isla Mujeres, because they all included so much stuff we weren't interested in. Plus, we always want to save money! We took the bus to the area where the ferries leave. We had to stop... Read the full Isla Mujeres review

  • August 4, 2006
Quote: The snorkeling here is not the best I've ever seen, but I did see a couple of things I haven't seen elsewhere: barracuda as big as sharks and starfish as big as turtles. The current is very strong, and you drift away quickly: pay attention to your... Read the full Isla Mujeres review

South Point
Quote: Isla Mujeres—an island polarized. One end (the north end) is more like the “string quartet” version of the island. Here you find the quiet beach, the tranquilizing sun, the lulling of the wind. You can bask on this side for hours... Read the full Isla Mujeres review

  • 4 out of 5 stars by saythankyou from Phoenix, Arizona
  • September 16, 2005
Quote: For $50, you have an all-day trip on a trimaran that takes you to Isla Mujeres for snorkeling, swimming with a shark, shopping, and a buffet lunch. The lunch was one of the most authentic and good Mexican lunches I had while in Cancun. The... Read the full Isla Mujeres review

  • August 31, 2005
Quote: The "woman's island" is a jewel about 15 minutes off the coast of old-town Cancun. It is full of shopping, from T-shirt shops to island chic and high-end jewelry. The beaches, though, are what make is such a fun trip. Surrounded by pure white... Read the full Isla Mujeres review
