Esplendor by Wyndham Isla Mujeres Boutique All Inclusive

Beautiful beach with decent snorkeling around the dock. Great breakfast and drinks. Taxi stand and golf cart rental accross the street. Amazing view from the rooftop pool. Massage on beach was wonderful (forgot her name, Tere or Trace) very sweet and skilled.

Dinner was ok, food got repetitive after a few days as there is no menu change. Our AC went out on the last night. Construction next door. Really loud music from the rooftop on the first day but didn’t hear the rest of our visit.

Really great hotel, we enjoyed our stay here and it was a perfect base for our Whale Shark watching trip the next day. Lovely main restaurant and super friendly staff in the evening and at breakfast. Nice beach area and jetty. Good pool area and great rooftop pool bar. Nice quiet location, busy day bar next door but nothing that affected our stay. We hired a golf cart so we could get around the island independently.

The all inclusive was very set to fixed hours for checking in. We couldn’t get a wrist band until 2pm on the day we arrived despite knowing that we had to check out for a trip at 7:45am the next day. It made the first food order very busy, pool restaurant staff were really stretched as everyone was super hungry from morning flight arrivals. There was no flexibility for those that might not use the all inclusive service the next day. It would have been preferable to have a door on the bathroom or just frosted screening on the shower doors for the family room - not an issue for younger children but would have been preferred for our teenagers.

The breakfast was good, and the staff were always happy to accommodate small requests. I'd love to see options like muesli or oatmeal, along with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, but with a few adjustments the breakfast was exactly what I wanted. The location was excellent, and getting around the island was easy. The beach bar offered a great lunch selection, but mostly fried food. Salad would be highly appreciated. Dinner was the real highlight. We tried almost everything on the menu (seriously!), and every dish was outstanding. The drinks were just as memorable—I already miss the Strawberry Caipiroska and the Passion Fruit Mezcalita. A special thank you to Abdel and Matteo, who took such great care of us every day with food and drinks. My husband loves to eat, so they quickly became his best friends during our stay! Their kindness and attention made our vacation even more enjoyable. Overall, our stay exceeded our expectations, and we would happily return.

Swimming; but once we found the spot, the crystal-clear water completely changed our experience. The only downside was the water access. The sandbags make it difficult to reach the beautiful swimming area next to the pier. The swimming area next to the pier has amazing, crystal-clear water, but it's not very easy to reach at first. A simple pathway or ladder would make a huge difference. Once we found how to access, we never had an issue again. The water is so beautiful that I had no interest in using the pool; I honestly didn't even dip my feet in the big pool by the beach. Improving access to the sea would make the overall experience even better. Lunch menu needs salads.

Breakfast was OK no variety, location was OK. We rented golf carts to get around the island.

Food was limited and small portions. Ran out of beer at the bars, they only had 3 brands of beer and were always out of 1 or 2. No English speaking channels on the TV. Everything was closed by 11pm.
