We are a young couple traveling alone, and stayed in a 1 bedroom villa facing the sea for a week in early May. The Avalon exceeded my expectations. You have to know what you are getting into: it is NOT a brand new hotel, and the rooms are basic. However, our air conditioning worked perfectly, the hot water was available... More

My husband and I stayed at the Avalon in May 5-12. We exchanged a week of Interval timeshare and were given a one bedroom villa at Avalon. The villas vary - ours was hotel room sized without a separate seating area. We were on the second floor, overlooking the rocky coast of Isla Mujeres (east side). The room had a... More

We stayed here for two weeks, and had a wonderful time. We stayed in one of the studio villas - prompted mainly by reviews we'd seen - and were so glad we did. It was spacious, comfortable, and we loved watching the sun set from our balcony. The bed was also the most comfortable (and biggest) I've ever slept in.... More

We stayed at the Avalon Reef Club January 7th - 14th. After some of the reviews I read I was slightly hesitant to go here but all fears were short lived upon our arrival. The front desk was helpful and friendly. We had booked a one bedroom villa but ended up staying in the tower in an upgraded room. We... More

Let me start by saying that we stayed in a 1 bedroom villa. What you essentially get is 2 rooms. They are the same size and the "bedroom" is the studio (bed, bath, kitchenette) they rent and the living room is a separate adjoining room that has a large sofa, table for 4, and a 2nd kitchenette. I use the... More

The hotel is in an incredible location. Surrounded by azul, clear waters, gently lapping waves and smooth breezes, it is the picture of tranquility. The hotel seems to be winding down due to slower economic times. The rooms are very simple, but ours was clean and suited us. We switched to a room with 2 double beds versus a king... More

The rooms don't have air conditioners just cool fan blowers. The windows dont open fully and the shower water did not drain. Also they charge nine dollars for an hour of internet. We asked to change rooms to one that does have ac and they simply gave me another room with the same fan cooler which does not even cool More

Island is fabulous. Very clean, safe, friendly and beautiful. The resort reviews are all accurate but after a couple of days it just felt like home. Wonderful food and atmosphere down at the market place. Loved Fayne's for great service, food and prices. Rented golf carts and scooters a couple of days. Best snorkeling on the island is at the...

The location could not be better with the lagoon and frigate birds hovering above. What I also liked were friendly staff and margaritas at Kelly's bar. The downside are the rooms which are rudimentary, the towels showed signs of previous users; what really got me was the extortionate charge for WiFi: 15 USD for 1 hour! This in the era... More
