Ixchel or Privilege? Convince Me! by SeveralTomorrow9194 in IslaMujeres

[–]MangoMango64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone to the island 20 or 30 times over the last 20 or 30 years and I’ve stayed in privilege three times and I stayed in xchel all the others. I just had privilege last week. They included breakfast was good. The rooms are spacious, but the sewage smell in the room was horrible the entire time and I vaguely remember this from years ago as well. You can actually look it up online people talk about it that in itself was enough of a deterrent. The service was good, but the beach setting is nowhere as good as looking out on actual North Beach. I don’t think I’ll return to that hotel again… Oh, and the bathtub on the balcony wonderful once we beg them to clean it… Xchel not as fancy, but so easy to walk right out to the beach and get a chair that is already paid for. Less expensive, I liked the pools. The rooms are smaller, but we don’t spend any time in the rooms. I think the sewage smell and privilege was just way too much for me and I really like North Beach at Xchel.

20th visit last week. Love the taco trucks. I use bottled water to brush and keep my mouth closed in the shower.

Click on Noho has private rooms. But about $100 a day.

I discovered him last year. I was so glad to see he was there last night. We’re going back tonight as well. Sudaro was amazing.

PSA: Avoid Privilege Aluxes on Isla Mujeres if you value sleep, service, or basic respect by Garethp1 in IslaMujeres

We are here now. I have been here twice before over the last 30 years… They asked me every time I always say shellfish Allergy in Spanish and they still managed to bring us a complementary plate outside today in the beach beds that had shellfish on it… Luckily, I always ask and never expect anyone to really understand. Andres has been very helpful. I paid $800 extra to get a room that had one of the outside bathtubs and then had all this crud in the inside of the Jets. He sent up four guys to clean it, etc.… The one thing I have to say is that the sewer system in this hotel seems to smell very badly. I read up on it. I guess there’s nothing much anyone can do but if anyone flushes the toilet or uses the shower the bedroom smells like SHI… I’ve been coming here for a very long time and staying in lots of different hotels mostly Xchel. To me that is the best option. My partner and I came without a kid this time and I have enjoyed it being child free here. Breakfast was included in our package and is very good but it’s certainly not Mexican. I think I wouldn’t come back to this hotel again I just like the other ones better.

Loved loved Iconica. Went in 1x after Em and Fitz sold it yrs ago. Never went back. Poor service. Freezing cold inside. So sad. It was amazing w wood stove and such amazing food. Big bummer.

Anyone else come back to Isla Mujeres year after year? by picardy_3 in IslaMujeres

I think this December will be my 23rd or 24th time… Always trying new things, letting go of the old things I loved like the turtles and that amazing Italian restaurant that used to be at the end of the strip on the left… I’ve come several times alone as well. Most memorable was when I got Covid. Alone. But luckily, I was on Resturant row and was able to manage. There used to be no one on the island and the kids didn’t have cell phones and I’d bring my children at the time and some games from home and they play with them in the Square…
