Garden Cottage Perla at Villa Makax. The sargaso free beach is steps away

Steve and Lindell are wonderful hosts! Long time residents who are very knowledgeable. Isla Mujeres is a true gem of Mexico. Beach access and wonderful sunsets make for a very relaxing visit.

The private beach is nice. We enjoyed the added small patio space to the Perla and the home like vibe.

My husband and i enjoyed this property it has 4 bungalows so its a low key island vibe and not the party scene .the owners were there and they were awesome. There was a few animals around and that was fun.we were also a mile away from Dolphin Discovery park which was a blast

Inside pictures of the place were very accurate - just wish we knew that we had no view of the ocean. We did love using the pool & the quiet beach! Had a great stay there!!

The draw for us was the private beach, and being away from the busy town (Villa Makax is about 1/2 from town via golf cart, heading towards Punta Sur). Loads of beach clubs, Garrafon National Park, dining on the lagoon, quiet at night - a perfect location. We were able to snorkel off the beach (bring your own gear so you can do this anywhere) and found lots of fish (under dock pilings, hiding from the pelicans!) and even a small stingray further away. Definitely an 'island time' property, don't expect perfection, be grateful for all the special characteristics - attractive rooms, comfy bed, clean, outside seating area. Cottages near the pool have an ocean view, and are just steps from the sand. We stayed in Perla - nearer the road, but still nice. Warm pool, beautiful seating area, with a sort of bar area where former guests had left unused alcohol. Note that you can't purchase alcohol on the island after 5pm on a Sunday. Steve and Lindell were very warm and accommodating. The maintenance staff were super friendly, as were their two puppies and rabbit. The other highlight was Chico - the property dog, he was my shadow, and very welcome. Bring shampoo.

Our 8 day stay was outstanding. Our host Steve was genuine and helpful. If you looking for quiet beach front this is the place. The heated pool was perfect. Several local places within walking distance for dining. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

This property was superb. Quiet, secluded, private beach, heated pool, outstanding views. Do not hesitate to book. Truly amazing property.

This was our second time staying at Villa Makax and we loved it even more than the first time visting there. Everything is clean, easy to navigate as far as check in and the location is gorgeous. We had a chance to meet the owners on this visit and enjoyed them very much. We will be back!

Great property, people and view!

Our hosts and the staff were top tear. The property was amazing. The bed and pillows were the most comfortable we have ever had in Mexico. The island is only a complement to the property. We were made to feel like we were invited and were assured that we were more than invited to come again. Anyone shopping need know what makes them happy on vacation so that they choose accordingly. We will certainly return!!!
