Isla Mujeres - Lofty Stay at Punta Sur - Condominiums for Rent in Playa Garrafon, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Amy was great! Lupita, the island coordinator, was super attentive and helped us set everything up that we needed. Amy’s condo is tasteful and comfortable. The property pool was great!! Premises is clean and beautifully landscaped. If you’re staying on the island, definitely get a golf cart and stay at Amy’s place! Some really fantastic restaurants within walking distance. The north shore and nightlife is a fun golf cart ride to! Isla Mujeres is definitely a good time!

Amy's place was fantastic. Freshly cleaned, accurately depicted in photos and was exactly what we needed for a quiet getaway. Amy was a great host. Amy was responsive and proactive in checking in to make sure we were happy. I would stay again and I recommend her place.

Thanks, Chris, for your feedback. I am glad to read you had a great stay despite arriving when Hurricane Helene had just exited.  And delighted to hear you had Angelita the chef swing by and teach you how to cook a few local dishes (she is the best!).

Beautiful house. Exactly as described. It’s away from the town in a peaceful, quiet area! Beautiful beach and beautiful view from the balcony. You’d need a cart to get around or just take a taxi like we did. Management was great too. We were welcomed by Luis who gave us a walkthrough of the property as well as show us where everything was.

Thanks for being a five star guest, Maggie. Thanks also for mentioning it is entirely possible to navigate the island by taxi (or bus) -- and for remembering Luis. Happy to read you made the most of your stay!

This place was amazing! Although it’s in the south side of the island and you likely need a golf cart to ride around or a taxi the place itself has a lot of charm. Waking up to an amazing ocean view and the decorations Amy’s place is wonderful! Was very helpful with any questions and concerns as well as very responsive.

Thanks, Emily, for being a great guest. Happy to read you loved your stay at Punta Sur -- most definitely the south end of the island. Unrelated, may you be proof to future guests that it is possible to make a late-night ferry. Cheers to you for being a bit of a risk taker! ;)

Best Place on Isla. This was our second stay. Amy is an amazing host, and thanks to her team we had an awesome stay again. We will be back :)

Thanks, Margot, for being a 5-star guest x 2. Happy to read you had an awesome stay. You are, of course, welcome back any time!

Amy's place was awesome! Spacious place with great views! The pool was great and quiet. Beach clubs and restaurants within walking distance. Rancho Capricho and Kin Ha being two of out favorite spots. A golf cart is recommended for getting around the rest of the island. 10/10! Can't wait to return!

Thanks, Jess, for your review. It is good to read you took full advantage of the local businesses. You definitely made the most of Punta Sur. Cheers to you! And than you again.

I’m gonna keep it short and sweet. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL CONDO!! Perfect romantic setting for my wife and I to celebrate our 1 year anniversary!! If I could give 100 stars I would!!

Thanks, Yerik. Happy to read Sotaveno was a great place to celebrate your anniversary!

Amys place was outstanding! Beautiful and the view from the loft out the window to the ocean was unbeatable.  Her whole team was incredibly helpful in arranging transportation, golf cart rentals, recommendations for food, everything.  Amy herself helped me arrange for my surprise proposal and it went seamlessly.  We will absolutely stay here again if it’s still available.

Thanks for your 5-star review -- and for putting your trust in our suggestions for a memorable, surprise proposal. We enjoyed the challenge. Wishing you a 5-star engagement, wedding and marriage. Cheers to both of you!

This place was wonderful!! We enjoyed the more laid back and relaxing vibe of this part of the island - but still lots of great restaurants (Ulan, Lacadona coffee bus, Rancho, etc) and right above Garrafon de Castilla for some easy snorkeling. Getting around the island was so easy via golf cart or taxi  and Amy was a wonderful host, happy to answer questions that came up. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay to be away from the little city and noise. It was peaceful and super convenient having a cute little beach bar/access right below the house and was not busy. The house is comfortable and the property hosts on isla were so helpful with recommendations. The place felt like a home away from home.

Thanks, Shelbi, for being a 5-star guest -- and for making Sotavento your home away from home.  Happy to read your stay was comfortable and relaxing. Cheers!

This place is beautiful clean and safe I highly recommend this Gem, I can’t wait to go back to this lovely place! Thank you Amy

Thanks Francisco, for being a gem of a guest! The desire to return is the highest of compliments. Cheers!!

Amy’s place was amazing! The property was beautiful looks better in person. From the moment I booked every question I had Amy answered swiftly and even connected me with a driver to pick me up from the airport to the ferry. Last minute I ended up going on this trip solo but it turned out amazing. I would suggest getting a golf cart things are walkable but the humidity and flexibility that comes with having a golf cart is unmatched. Luckily there are taxis pretty much every minute driving by so I just used that as my main source of transportation. Everything is fairly within distance restaurants, beaches & night life. Will definitely be visiting again !

Thanks, Judy for being five star guest. Happy to read all went well starting with your airport pick-up!

This is our 2nd stay at this condo within the past year and it is still 5 stars. 1. The owner Amy is extremely responsive. 2. The Property Manager Lupita is extremely responsive and accommodating with any surprises you may have. 3. The location is on the South end of the island, which is peaceful and beautiful. 4. The home is clean, spacious, safe and secure. 5. Rancho (nearby can walk) has the BEST tacos on the island so check it out. 6. Book Now! This is definitely our home away from home and we look forward to visiting again.

Thanks, Shamiya, for making Sotavento your home away from home the second time around! And oh yes, those tacos are really something. : )

loved staying here. Lupita was so helpful in our stay. sadly they were working on the pool during our stay. but the pool looked beautiful for future stays! they let us know ahead of time and even gave us the option to find a new place if we wanted! we decided to stay! we could have stayed there forever!

Thanks, Danielle, for your positive review and feedback -- and for taking a chance and staying during the pool overhaul. Wanting to never leave is, of course, a wonderful compliment  Cheers!

Perfect for the two of us.  Great location, communication and comfort!  We found so many great food places and beach clubs.  Playa Norte was beautiful and the south end had many little restaurants.  Loved the deck for morning coffee and evening cocktails.  Definitely rent a golf cart so you can see everything this little island has to offer.  Amy was great at answering all our questions.  Loved it!!!

Thanks, Sharon, for your feedback  And special thanks for putting your trusting Alan for your trip to Isla Contoy and the fishing trip. Happy to read you loved your stay.

Great place and wonderful location! Thank you!

Thanks, Patrick. Wish you could have extended your stay!

The property manager texted me prior to arriving & as soon as we landed we had a text & instructions with how to communicate our arrival. Lupita met us at the gate & was super friendly & showed us everything we needed to know. The place was already cool & was exactly as pictured, and it was nice to have two bathrooms. The location was perfect, everything needed was walkable but nice to get a golf cart or take the bus to go elsewhere. Capprichio Ranch was wonderful, great food and fun to watch the peacocks. We could hear the music from The Joint until about 8, it was fun and drinks good but food just okay. The Coffee bus just pass the Burrocho Burro had delicious coffee and wonderful service, there’s also an ATM across the street. Punta Sur was walkable but we pre-booked a golf cart with Lupita prior, making it super easy to run down there to see the sunrise. It’s worth the extra $ to walk down by the sculptures. Overall just clean, peaceful & had everything we needed.

Thanks, Kacey, for being a great guest. Happy to read that South Point met your vacation needs.  Cheers to you for trying a few of the new additions to the area. The ranch really does have the best darned tacos around!  :)

Amy is an excellent and responsive host. Her space in Sotavento is beautiful and spacious; it's the perfect spot for a couple seeking a quiet homebase to experience Isla Mujeres. There are several beach clubs within walking distance, and though it's quite a ways from the hustle of the town center in the north, taxis are plentiful. A great getaway stay!

Thanks, Nathan, for also being an excellent and responsive guest. Happy to were able to create the ideal home base and take advantage of local beaches and public transportation!  Cheers to you!!

Very lovely area place to stay, and in a lovely home. Communication was very good with the host and property manager too. It was peaceful in the morning and after 9pm which was great. I enjoyed walking to punta sur many times early in the morning for the sunrise and there is live music and food very close by we enjoyed. Easy to get a taxi or catch the bus from there too!

Thanks, Melody, for being an excellent guest. Is always great to read when guests walk the area -- and are cool enough to take a taxi of the bus. My hat (or maybe it is my sombrero) is off to you!

My recent stay at Amy's condo in Isla Mujeres at Sotavento was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that truly made us feel at home. The condo itself was immaculate, spacious, and beautifully decorated, offering stunning views of the ocean and surrounding landscape. Every detail was carefully thought out, from the comfortable furnishings to the fully equipped kitchen, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay for all guests. The location of the condo couldn't have been better. Situated in Punta Sur area of Isla Mujeres at Sotavento, we were just steps away from pristine beaches, charming shops, and delicious restaurants. The convenience of exploring the island made our vacation even more memorable. Amy, our host, was incredibly accommodating and attentive to our needs throughout our stay. She provided us with valuable insights and recommendations, ensuring that we made the most of our time on the island. We will be back!!

Thanks, Dan, for being a 5-star guest in kind. Happy to read the condo, the neighborhood and the overall hospitality was a fantastic experience to you. Cheers to traveling well!

Amy's condo was amazing: clean, spacious, quiet, with a stunning view. The location was perfect for me: 5-min walk to Punta Sur where you can watch the sunrise, 5-min walk to Lacandona Coffee Bus with great coffee, and 3-min walk to a family-run stand with delicious fresh fruit smoothies across from Rancho Capricho. I went to the Garrafon beach club next door which wasn't busy so it had a very chill vibe. The beach is small but beautiful and has great snorkeling (you can rent the gear for cheap) with lots of fish near the shore. I went to Playa Norte as well as on a snorkeling tour and in retrospect, I would have just gone to Garrafon again instead. I highly recommend Amy's place if you like to swim and snorkel!

Thanks, Ji-A, for passing along 5-stars. Now I am inspired to check out the coffee bus (so cute!). You definitely made the absolute most of your authentic vaca by checking out Old Garrafon. Cheers to you!

This was an awesome experience for us. The unit had everything we were looking good and more….. Very well designed, equipped and maintained unit. Location and views are awesome. Amy was very helpful with her inputs and suggestions. Property management were very proactive and informative as well. 110/100 rating from us.

Thanks, Santosh, for your 100% favorable review. You were exceptional and memorable guests. Thanks also for putting your trust in Alan to take you to Isla Contoy!

Wonderful place to stay. Very clean, comfortable, host and staff were accommodating.

Thanks, Jenn, for being a wonderful guest to match!

The condo was beautiful with an absolutely amazing view of the Cancun skyline. We spent every morning having coffee on the balcony.

Thanks, Linda, for your 5-star review. More important, thanks for being a 4-star guest. Happy to read you were able to take in the view and enjoy your coffee outdoors - the way it should be whenever possible. Cheers!

Pictures don’t do this space justice! Amy and her team were amazing. It felt right at home and I couldn’t have felt safer. Will definitely stay again!

This condo was just as described and we enjoyed the stay very much. The condo had everything we needed; the washing machine was a real bonus! Every room was spacious and the kitchen was well equipped. I’ve been to Isla many times but this was my first time to stay on the side facing Cancún. While the lights across the water were pretty I didn’t really care for the boats hanging out blaring music all day, but that’s just me. There was a lack of privacy while on the balcony; if anyone was on the balcony next door you could hear every single word and their music too. Don’t get me wrong, I love music LOL just not from 5 places at once 😁 my biggest peeve was that people in the condo above liked moving furniture around first thing in the morning, which woke us up daily. Probably dining chairs (maybe they need a rug). Overall wonderful! No place is perfect but this was pretty close! Oh and the pool was amazing!! Lots of stairs too, keep that in mind 😎

Thanks, Staci, for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed your stay. The island is super busy and popular now so sounds like the ambience followed a similar track. Cheers!

Amy’s place is amazing! We would definitely stay there again.

Thanks, Kate, for being an equally amazing guest! I appreciate the feedback -- and that you selected Sotavento. Cheers!

In short, book this place. It looked exactly like the pictures and had all of the amenities. The view was amazing to wake up to every morning. Pool was refreshing as well as the balcony. Parking convenience for golf carts. Luis is part of the management company and he was responsive and helpful with all of our needs. 1. You need a golf cart…negotiate price. 2. The property is south towards Punta Sur. 3. Rancho (sign says Best Tacos on Island) they truly are. Diego and Angel are awesome. 5 mins walk 3. Kin Ha is a hidden gem near the place. Once you see the sign…it’s about 30 yards to left down a dirt road. I booked this place for my fiancés 34th birthday and she loved it! Definitely plan to make it an annual visit and stay here.

Thanks for your feedback! And especially appreciate your feedback on Luis (he is the best!) and on all things local. One things to note ... I cannot buy and rent our golf cart as that business firmly/strictly belongs to the locals. Looking forward to your return!

This is our favorite place to stay on the island. The unite was spacious and the small complex is quiet and in a great location

Thanks, Wes, for being a great desk. And we definitely agree -- great location! Cheers!!

This unit had unbeatable views - just amazing to look out the glass doors/windows and see the ocean and a far off view of Cancun - just beautiful.   The unit had everything you could want - very comfortable and well kept.  The area was perfect for us.  We could walk to a couple restaurants, a mini-market, & a beach club too!  The pool in the back was a wonderful treat that we used almost every day.  Would definitely stay here again!

Thanks, Jodi, for your five star review. Happy to ready you took advantage of the local hotspots.

Thanks, Deandre, for selecting Sotavento. Happy to read the listing was a match with your experience!

Amazing property with everything you need. Beautiful views and the swimming pool is as long as it gets, perfect for swimmers. Location is great, you need a car to move but it’s perfect if you want to stay away from the noisy Centro. Lupita, the property manager, was always available and responsive.

If you are looking for a peaceful vacation this is the right place to stay at punta sur. It definitely felt like home with all the appliances needed. It was clean and comfortable where you will definitely have a peaceful night. The house was spacious. I also love the decoration. It felt just like home. The pool was perfect to see the sunset. We will definitely recommend this place. Amy was a great host.

Thanks, Aida, for making Sotavento your home away from home. And special thanks for being so gracious and communicative as your travel plans evolved! Cheers!!

Great Place, definitely enjoyed our stay! Great A/C! Love Isla Mujeres.  On the quiet side of the island so would definitely rent a golf cart for the duration of your trip.  Lupita is very accommodating and will have it waiting for you at the unit upon your arrival.

Thanks, Alfredo, for your feedback. And special thanks for remembering Lupita. I am happy to read your stay was quiet and enjoyable.

My husband and I have only the highest praise for our experience at Amy's condominium. The condo is lovely! Lupita made sure we were able to drop off our luggage prior to check-in which was a huge relief for us. The property is ultra clean, comfortable, safe, spacious, secluded and yet close to great restaurants. There's always a lovely ocean breeze on the well-furnished patio. Great A/C too! The patio is a perfect place to sip coffee or drink a margarita. The view is stunning! Excellent TV, nice washer/dryer, beautiful dinnerware, and plenty of fresh water per your stay. Our favorite discovery was the El Borracho Burro Cantina! Great hospitality and excellent food. Rent a golf cart without hesitation, visit Chedraui for your previsions/libations, go to Blue Ballyhoo, dance the night away at El Patio and support the local vendors. Amy, Lupita, and Luis were all friendly, accommodating, and generous. You will not find a better property in Punta Sur! Gracias por la visita! Erica & Court

Thanks, Eric, for your feedback -- and special thanks for mentioned Lupita and some of the local businesses.  I am happy to read all went well. There are a lot of logistics to consider when making a trip to Isla so always good when all the stars align! Cheers!!

Beautiful place. View was absolutely amazing. Amy was responsive and great.

Thanks, Philip, for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed you stay!

This place in Punta Sur on the lovely island of Isla Mujeres was wonderful. Host was responsive, straightforward check in and plenty of recommendations. The stay was perfect- lovely pool, great balcony to take in the view, nice to be on the quieter end of the island but still easy to get around on a rented golf cart. Definitely check out Garrafon de Castilla across the street in back for a practically private beach with great snorkeling. Would recommend and hope to return!

Thanks, Alena, for your positive feedback. Am happy to read you took advantage of ´old Garrison ´which nicely represents the island that once was! Thanks also for selecting Sotavento! Cheers to you!!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Amy’s place! It was peaceful, clean, felt super secure. It was definitely where we went to rest before going and exploring more! Everything about it was amazing, we also stayed at an all inclusive near Akumal, and it was terrible. We would come again and have already shared with friends!

Thanks, Shereen, for your review -- and for sharing with your friends, which is the highest compliment. ! Happy to read to loved your time at Punta Sur and that it served you well following a lackluster experience in Akumal. Cheers!

Amy's condo was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities you could want, including a washing machine.  We had excellent assistance from the property manager for check-in and help with transportation needs.  Host was very responsive and accommodating.

Thanks, Candace, for selecting Sotaveto. And a special thanks for remembering Lupita, the on-island property manager. I hope you were able to sneak in another dive during your stay. Cheers!

We loved our stay at Sotavento! The condo was very clean, had all the necessities one could need and the most beautiful view.  It was our first time on Isla Mujeres and we loved the location. It is much quieter than Centro/Playa Norte area which we enjoyed. We had planned to only rent a golf cart for two days but in the end had it for our entire stay. We really enjoyed the freedom it provided. I know everyone is in love with Playa Norte but we much preferred Garrafon de Castilla across the street. The beach was beautiful, peaceful and had wonderful snorkelling. Thank you, Amy for the stay. We would definitely stay again if we are lucky enough to go back to Isla!

Thanks, Lisa, for selecting Sotavento. Happy to read you enjoyed your stay at South Point. Cheers to you -- and Old Garrison!

Amy was very responsive and friendly! The view from the condo was amazing. We will be coming back!  Love Love Love..

Thanks, Jennifer, for the endorsement! Happy to read you loved, loved, love stay. Two thumbs up ... or four  paws up, if you will!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sotavento! The apartment looks just like the photos and the surroundings are even more beautiful. We had a indescribably beautiful view to the ocean and the Cancun skyline, and enjoyed all evenings watching the sunset. The apartment has everything you need, including two nice bathrooms, a really well stocked kitchen (there was even a bottle of wine in the fridge for us, when we arrived!), a washing machine, and a big, nice bed. The shared pool is really nice, but if you’re more a beach person, we really enjoyed going to the Garrafon de Castilla, which is straight in front of the complex and offers sun beds, beach, and snorkelling.  We highly recommend everyone to come to Isla Mujeres and also definitely recommend to stay at Amy’s complex - it was the perfect ending to our holiday!

Thanks, Emma, for your 5-star view. Happy to read you took advantage of  ´old Garrafon ´ --- a bit of step back in time. And special thanks for selecting Sotavento. Cheers!

Wow wow wow, what an incredible experience for our first time to Mexico. Amy was great at setting us up for success with locals on the island. So glad to be on the quieter side of the island, the condo was spectacular. Dipping into the pool morning and evening was some of the highlight of the trip. Luis was very friendly and met us as the condo and Lupita was a spectacular concierge and gave us some fabulous local recommendations for food. After reading other reviews we had high hopes for The Joint, but found it underwhelming at best and so we stuck to Lupita’s picks. We went twice in 3 days to Rinconcito Kahlo, can not recommend this place enough, amazing, fresh, delicious breakfast and unique coffee. Kin Ha was fun for hanging out during the day and Lupita set us up with a great snorkeling tour where we were out for about 5 hours and swam at 3 different spots. Get a golf cart as it’s a walk to town (we did it one day but wouldn’t do it after dark) and beware the local police.

Such a beautiful stay. I loved this place so much. I will be back!

Thanks, Bethany, happy to read it was love at first stay! Cheers!

this place was beautiful and very clean great location condo was big and the views were amazing will definitely be back. thanks Amy

Thanks, Eric, for selecting Sotavento -- and for being a top-notch guest! Cheers!!

Great place! Very nice and up to date, definitely will be back.

Thanks, Ian, for being a five-star guest. Happy to read all was well. Cheers!

Amy’s condo was just as nice and clean as the photos. Great space if you want a beautiful, relaxing vacation. Renting a golf cart is a must to get around the island. However, there is a great reggae bar very close by which also has really good food and the best vibe! Additionally, there is an inexpensive, small but very nice public beach club just below the building, which also had great food and drinks. Would definitely recommend Amy!

Thanks, Nancy! I am glad you took make the trip. Nice to read you took advantage of The Joint and what I also affectionately refer to as ´Old Garrison .´ Cheers!

This condo is a beautiful and peaceful retreat. Very clean, beautiful views, thoughtful touches, everything you need to have an amazing vacation.

My wife and I booked Amy’s condo for a Christmas getaway. We’ve visited Isla Mujeres several times going back to the 1990s! We wanted something different, relaxing, and quieter than staying in Centro or mid-Island. Our stay was everything we wanted and expected!  Check-in was easy.  The view across the bay is breathtaking both day and night.  We had easy walks to Punta Sur, The Joint, Kin Ha, and El Borracho Cantina. We cooked a few meals in the condo, then sat on the patio watching the world go by as we ate. We even took a few swims in the pool when the weather cooperated. I know why Amy is a Super Host! Strong storms Christmas Eve into Christmas day caused several short power outages.  Amy messaged, offered to come check if all was OK. She and her companion Gabriel did! We had a wonderful chat over cold cervezas and vino blanco about her love of Isla Mujeres, animals, and places we have lived (within 40 miles of each other many years ago).  What a small world and a wonderful condo!

Thanks, Bill, for selecting Sotavento for your holiday adventure. I am happy you loved your stay and appreciated some of the more personal touches. Cheers to a happy end to yule season and a happy beginning to 2023!

Property is as depicted in the photos on Airbnb. Amy communicated quickly and thoroughly before/during the stay. Was in the condo within two hours of landing in Cancun. Charming island and neighborhood wasn't remote like it appears on the map: taxis are abundant; a woman gives great outdoor massages at Hotel La Joya; snorkeling/swimming/the beach are one minute away, and you have a choice of outdoor restaurants within walking distance. (But I was content with just The Joint and Kin Ha.) Was happy I rented from Soul Bikes. (They deliver/pick up for $10.) The condo was spotless, and Amy provided coffee, chips, salsa, wine, and beer. The washing machine was convenient. I spent almost all my time on the deck, where the sunsets are spectacular. Strong WiFi. Plenty of towels, detergent, soap, etc. High ceilings and natural light. Strong AC (but I hardly used it). Bring an eye mask, as the bedroom doesn't get very dark at night. Building/area feels very safe. Look forward to returning.

Just a lovely place to be on the side of the island to be. I echo the comments about the view, the helpful and kind nature of the hosts— but I did have a sandal injury that was my fault and I had immediate help and access to a solid kit before I could go to the dr. The love she has for the space and her pets is obvious. The birds that will visit in the morning are a gorgeous sight.

Thanks, Carrie, of your feedback on the view and the vibe. And special thanks for mentioned the property management team. The emergency supply kit was admittedly their idea. Hope you have recovered well.

We loved our stay at Amy's place. It was peaceful, quiet, and the ocean views from the bedroom/living room are spectacular. The Airbnb has all of the amenities and supplies you need (e.g., filtered water, beach towels, stocked kitchen, coffee maker, fresh coffee) and Amy was kind enough to include some chips, salsa, beer, and wine as a welcome gift. The bed is very comfortable and spacious. The place was spotless clean and the staff (Lupita & Luis) were kind, professional, answered all our questions, and always available. The location is ideal for those, like us, who want to get away from the noise of city center and prefer a more quiet & private location. There are plenty of restaurants to get great food and great places to swim at. Our favorite place was Kin Ha Restaurant because we could snorkel for free, sit on beach chairs, enjoy live music, and swim all day in the ocean and pool with some great food/drink options. Treat yourself to Amy's romantic, quiet, and luxurious Airbnb.

I almost missed thanking you for your review, Felipe. Am happy to read you both found the property comfortable and inviting. Am also happy to read you found yourselves in some of the best spots on the island, including Kin Ha (because that dive into the ocean cannot be matched)! Cheers!!

I love the place is in a great spot the view is great ,very clean it has everything that a person can need to feel like a home , if I have the opportunity to come back I'll stay again here , also Amy is great 👍😊

Thanks, Felipe. Happy to read you loved your stay. And special thanks for mentioning Lupita and Luis. They work tirelessly to make sure guests enjoy their stay! Cheers!!

Beautiful and secure and place in a quiet area of Isla Mujeres, conveniently located walking distance to the Joint Restaurant and Garrafon park. Excellent view, the host was fast to communicate and the place had everything you need for your stay. If you are looking for a place to relax and re-energize yourself to continue with your daily life occupations this is the place.

Gracias, Carlos. I am happy to read that Sotavento served as a good diversion for you -- and that were able to visit local businesses, The Joint and Garrafon. Cheers!

Loved this apartment in a quiet part of Isla Mujeres.  I wanted to avoid the craziness of centro but still have easy access to a beach, bus, and taxi transport, and this totally fit the bill.   Modern, comfortable, gorgeous views, and they even thoughtfully provided some drinks and snacks so we could begin vacation mode right away.  I hope to return!

Thanks for your feedback. Glad you had a place to catch up with your sister -- all while enjoying the view. I know little things mean a lot so glad you could dive into the drinks and snacks and get your vacation started! Cheers!!

This place was incredible 👌🏻 everything about it was perfect! I travel to Mexico a lot and sometimes the amenities/basic supplies are lacking (I’ve had to buy my own tp, buy water jug refills, etc.). This place was loaded with everything you could need and the view was amazing! We love to snorkel and we just went down to the beach club directly below the building (only 9$ entrance), the reef & fish were beautiful and there were plenty..we spent multiple days @ the club and didn’t get bored. Plus Punta Sur is walking distance (or very short golf cart ride) away. Only thing I’d recommend is to bring an eye cover/sleeping mask because the windows don’t have blinds and a lot of sun comes in the morning. The pool was also really nice with a beautiful view (and was never crowded). Overall great place!

Thanks for your feedback. Glad you found the place met your needs. Specific to the shade, a new one was installed the day after you lef so hopefully future guests will not need eye covers! Cheers!

Amy was great and her place is amazing! We will be back!

Thanks, Madison, for your feedback. Happy to read your (short) stay as a good one!

We have stayed on the island multiple times, but our first time at Amy’s place. We loved the location, a bit quieter and less busy than the north end. The views could never get old!! We really enjoyed the snorkeling just behind the condos, the Joint for the best blended mojitos! The Burro was also within walking distance with great food. Lupita, the property manager, was fantastic and so helpful arranging a golf cart drop off/pick up for the week. The A/C was amazing as July very hot and humid. The conveniences made our stay exactly what we needed. Very relaxing, no worries, and nothing but enjoyment! This is definitely our new fav. Thank you Amy!!

Thanks, Miranda, for the feedback. I am happy to read you enjoyed your stay and that you could relax and keep cool despite the super hot July weather. And special thanks for mentioned Lupita. She works so hard to make sure all guests have an exceptional stay.

After staying at a resort in Playa for 5 days, Amy’s condo was A WONDERFUL AND STUNNING change of pace. We wished we had booked her play for our entire honeymoon! It was well stocked with everything we needed - kitchen supplies and swim towels. Lovely to be able to do laundry too. We were so very thankful to be on the quiet side of the island. Situated close to great beach access at Garrafon de Castillo and very close to The Joint for good food and live music. We rented a cart and were definitely glad we did. Comfy bed. And a stunning view from the balcony. Amy thank you for sharing your beautiful home! Not to mention Lupita made our stay so much easier!! The property management concierge was so wonderful.

Thank you for your review. I am happy to read you stay was a good one. And a special thank you for mentioning Lupita -- she works incredibly hard to make sure guests have a smooth checkin and stay! Cheers!!

Thanks, Emily, for your review and for selecting Sotavento! Your stay is much appreciated.

Absolutely beautiful view of the Garrafon Reef area. Great snorkeling just below location. Any and all assistance needed with transfers, ferry and golf cart, etc were expertly set up by concierge. Would stay again without hesitation.

Thanks, Tina, for selecting Sotavento. Happy to read you took advantage of the view - and that transfers and transportation worked out well (sounds like Lupita helped you!). Cheers!

What a beautiful place in the most beautiful part of Isla. Everything was excellent from check-in, to the cleanliness, to the comfortable bed! We spent many hours simply staring at the blue water from the balcony and although the location is away from the business of Centro, there are still many restaurants nearby if you didn’t want to take the 15min golf cart ride downtown. We have already recommended this unit to friends and will definitely be coming back. Colin & Tara Ottawa, Ontario

Thanks, Colin, for choosing Punta Sur and Sotavento specifically. If you spend a lot of time on the balcony, you made the most of your stay. Cheers!

This place was beautiful! I loved the water view and the pool. The Joint was in walking distance and had great live music. The taxis ran regularly with just a short trip downtown. There was also snorkeling in the back of the building that’s a must try! The bed was comfortable and the unit was safe and easily accessible!! Definitely would stay here again!

Thanks, DRhea. It is great to hear that you walked and took taxis and kept your trip simple and perfect.  I appreciate you selected Sotavento for your stay.

The unit was very clean and safe.  The location is in a wonderful area not too busy, quiet at night with some near by places to eat.  The pool was fantastic place to cool off with beautiful views of the water and Cancun.  Ample space for parking a golf cart.

Thanks, Elton. I am happy to read that Sotavento met your wants and needs. The pool is a bit of a hidden secret so super news that you took advantage of it.

Great and very clean apartment with a beautiful view. (Except from some ants 🐜 in the kitchen) The pool area was super nice. Great location on the southern part of the isla with a more chilled vibe than in centro, it was easy to get a cab when we wanted for only 100 pesos. Thank you for a lovely stay at your place!!

Thanks, Emilie, for your feedback. My apologies about the ants -- the exterminator was in two weeks ago so I cannot figure out why they are still in full force -- will let the property manager know. In any case, I am happy to read you enjoyed your stay.  Also happy to read you were able to take advantage of taxis, which makes a trip by for more economical! Cheers!!

Lovely four day stay in the 2nd floor unit on north side of the Sotavento condos. All about the view! Very quiet and private and secure (locked entry and I think there were night guards).  Views are spectacular above Castilla de Garrafon where we snorkeled every morning when they opened at 10am (100 pesos/$6 entry).  Spacious unit with nice kitchen fully stocked, two full bathrooms (one downstairs, one up), gorgeous wood furniture and cabinets/doors, comfortable king bed, great shower pressure and temp, great towels (beach towels too), really nice closets and storage, useful patio furniture, and great working A/C (turn off for three hours per day).  Washing machine had unfortunately just broke when we arrived so we just washed in the sink (although owner kindly offered to send our laundry out) and she will have a new machine this week. Added bonus for long travels. Need to be agile for the stair climb to the unit, and then a long flight once you are in the unit up to the bedroom.  You get your exercise in. Building does not have elevator.  Pool is off back of building with water view. Long lap style pool. Outdoor shower. Helps to have golf cart during stay.  You have to battle the ants in the kitchen (do not leave any food out) but that is par for the course in Mexico. Also we really appreciated the nice welcome gift of a bottle of wine, beer and chips. Thank you!

You covered all of the details! The exterminator was in less than a week before you arrived -- will send a note to the property manager they have not departed. The new washer arrives April 8-9 from Cancun -- sorry you missed its debut. In any case, thanks much for selecting Sotavento. And glad the welcome gift was, well, welcome!

For our previous visits to Isla Mujeres we found ourselves staying on the busier and more nightlife oriented North side of the island. This time around we were ready for a more peaceful and relaxed vacation. Amy's place was EXACTLY what we had been hoping for and it couldn't have been more perfect. The condo was clean, spacious, quiet and provided us with everything we needed. The view from the balcony in the morning was an amazing way to start and end each day. Just a short walk from El Borracho Burro Cantina, which quickly became our new favorite spot for food and drinks. If you're looking to take a day or evening trip up to the North side, catching a cab out front of the building was no problem at all and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be booking again in the future. Already looking forward to it!

Thanks, Dan, for selecting Sotavento. There are many advantages to staying at Punta Sur so glad you changed up your Isla routine. Looking forward to hosting you again in the future!

We just came back from 4 nights staying at Sotavento (unit 3). The unit was in a great location with a wonderful balcony/patio overlooking the beautiful shared pool. There were a lot of ants in the kitchen, but, otherwise, the place was clean and comfortable. Lupita, the property manager, was amazing at coordinating a golf cart, restaurant reservations, a masseuse (who came to us!), and our COVID tests. Thanks for a wonderful stay. I would recommend this unit and this area for those that want to be away from the hustle and bustle and touristy areas of Isla Mujeres.

We were very happy with Amy’s condo, loved the location and loved sitting out on the patio every night and morning looking at the ocean. We discovered the beach club behind the condo and enjoyed hanging out there, I think it was 5.00 per person for the day, they also have a menu where you can purchase drinks and food! Definitely worth it! Also the property manager Lupita went above and beyond to set up a golf cart rental for us and set up my return covid test! It was a nice change staying on the South end as it was a little less busy and got us to go out more and explore different places to eat. Our stay was a great experience and we would definitely go back!

Happy to read you made the most of your stay including checking out  ¨old Garrafon, ¨a bit of hidden treasure! Also happy to read you enjoyed the quiet nature of Punta Sur. Thank you for selecting Sotavento!

As experienced airbnb travelers we can confirm all the previous enthusiastic testimonials of this elegant and cosy apartment with a splendid sunset view and calm location. Everything from the warm welcome, the drinks in the fridge and the equipment was just perfect. The quiet pool outside was perfect after the noisier playa norte and the city. We can highly recommend Amy's place and would of course come back to it!

Thanks, Frederic, for the feedback!  I am happy to read you took full advantage of Sotavento at Punta Sur.  Thanks also for remembering the on-island property management team. They work tirelessly -- and often anonymously -- to make sure guests from near and far have a relaxing stay!

We booked this condo for the view and location and both were absolutely perfect. The view is stunning! Being on the south end of the island is great for people who want to experience downtown on their own terms, vs being forced into crowds, especially with COVID still being a consideration. This was our 2nd trip to Isla Mujeres and we prefer the south end, regardless. With a golf cart, the entire island is accessible. The Joint is a few yards away and yes, the drinks are great. The live music is hilarious...a bit off but a great time. Don't eat there. Go a few yards in the other direction and hit that taco stand. You'll be so happy. Plus, it's attached to a mini-super where you can buy beer, wine, soda, water, whatever you need. Again, having a golf cart makes every bar and restaurant accessible. There's a beach club behind the condo as well. It's $6 per person and you'll get a chair, a table, an umbrella, and amazing snorkeling. Bring some water shoes if snorkeling is your jam. Otherwise, just chill. Note - this is not a typical beach club in the Playa Norte style and you know what? It's so much better. Playa Norte is pretty but with the minimum spend requirements and the super loud boats that pull up, it's just a different vibe. Hit up the beach club behind the condo and you won't be disappointed. And if you are, it was only $6 :) The property management group that runs this condo is flawless. The communication was timely and detailed. Lupita, the concierge, is outstanding. Reach out when the property management people give you her email address. She's got the golf cart hook up and booking with her in advance made starting our vacation so much easier than standing in line for a cart at the ferry.

The house was amazingly clean,  comfortable,  and inviting. Was exactly as pictured,  probably better.   Do not 2nd guess booking here,  the only you'll regret is having to leave!

Thanks, Adam. Not wanting to leave is serious compliment! Come back any time!!

What a wonderful place! Amazing views and very comfortable amenities. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a restful visit.

Thanks much, Kevin. Glad we could coordinate - and that you could rest and take in the views! Mother Earth is kind to the cliffs of Punta Sur and her guests!

Thanks, Jennifer! You are such a gracious guest!!

Great location. Much better part of the island for a more relaxed time. Internet worked great.

Thanks, Brian. Glad you were able to enjoy the view and continue as a digital nomad!

great location. great condo. super attentive host service. helpful with covering every detail of the trip. would gladly return and recommend highly

The stay was smooth and pleasant, the staff showed up on time for the check-in, the room were clean and had EVERYTHING we might need in a household. And there was a little surprise in the fridge! Loved staying there, definitely recommend!

I have stayed on the island several times before at the mid and north end which has access to the touristy parts of the town. This time really just wanted a place to relax and take things slower.  This is the place to do that. The condo was super clean and comfortable. Communication with the property manager was super easy. Views are the best you can find. Pool was amazing and super quiet. Lots of space within the condo to spread out. Oh, the shower was super awesome too! You can get the best of both worlds here with quiet location and then just a 15-20 min golf cart ride back into town.

Thanks for choosing Sotavento, Henry, and for being so communicative.  Glad you could relax, use the pool and take advantage of that super view mother nature provides. Cheers!

Amy’s place was perfect! We would highly recommend staying here. This place is situated in the nice quiet area with an amazing view. Very clean and well maintained. We recommend walking over to the joint. It’s a great place just a couple steps away.

Thanks, Robert, for selecting Sotavento -- and for making the most of the quick walk to The Joint.

Fabulous retreat with great amenities.  This side of the island is definitely the place to be. Convenient to food and entertainment spots (The Joint is great).  Highly recommended.

Great location on the quieter south end of the island. Building is secure and well-maintained. Unit has great views and is comfortable for a couple or family. Would stay again.

Thanks, Jeff. Glad you could stay last-minute and that you successfully rode out Hurricane Grace. Ah, that Mother Nature can be a funny girl sometimes.

Amy’s condo at sotavento was absolutely perfect. If your looking for a little oasis this is it. From the day we booked our condo the communication was amazing. Amy answered so many questions and recommended the best people for what we needed during our visit. The team of people that come along with the condo are outstanding. There was someone there to greet us upon our arrival to the condo. I have never been to Mexico and Amy’s team helped make it the smoothest of vacations.  They were very through and explained everything. There is a concierge that is available and at your fingertips just a text away to help you find or book whatever you need. This was the perfect clean beautiful Condo.

Thanks, Misty. I am happy to read your trip was easy. The Capi´s team is truly the best and I will pass along your feedback. I hope you will return to Isla in the future!

This was one of our favorite rentals we've ever stayed in, and really fell in love with Isla Mujeres during our stay. The property has amazing views as soon as you get to the gate, and doesn't stop surprising. The property manager was extremely accommodating, communicative, and friendly. Marcella is just the best. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the beers, wine, and salsa were a really nice touch. The pool area is a great size, so even if other occupants are enjoying it, there is plenty of space to still feel private. The decor is a great vibe for your vacation; we loved the cat decorations—gives the place a little personality. We were also able to get in-home professional covid tests for our return to the US, for a less expensive price than any other testing we saw during our trip. They came to us for the test and gave us our results for the airport's paperwork. Definitely recommend staying here as we hope to return ourselves!

Thanks, Anthony, for your feedback. I am happy to read that Marcella at Capi´s is the best as she makes a big effort to ensure guests are settled and content! Sounds like Dr. Xhanat and team also made your prep for return to the US relatively painless. You are welcome back any time!

Amy’s place is beautiful. Very clean and spacious. It’s located at the other end of the island (south part) far away from playa Norte or where the bars are at so I highly suggest renting a golf cart to get around plus it’s fun seeing the whole island in a golf cart. We were without power one night but that was due to a repair they were doing outside the air bnb which is obviously out of the hosts control, but that didn’t ruin our stay at all. I will definitely recommend this to anyone if you don’t mind the traveling from punta sur to playa Norte!

Thanks, Oscar.  It is super to read you loved Sotavento. Yes, the periodic power outages are a challenge for all property managers and owners. I am glad your stay was still a good one.  I hope you opened the just-replaced sliders and enjoyed the ocean breeze!

This is a fantastic place to stay if you are looking for a great location, quiet area, safety and space. My husband and I loved every minute here and we are so glad we booked. The property has everything you need and Amy will even connect you with someone to help you plan activities during your stay. We had a golf cart at the place ready to go for us, and got assistance with booking taxis for our day of departure. If you are looking for a gorgeous, no hassle stay - this is your place!

Great views, clean, ac works great, pool was perfect, no complaints. This part of the island is best for peacefulness and getting away from the hustle and bustle of north beach.

Gracias, Adrian!. ¡Me alegra leer que disfrutó del lugar!

After doing lots of research I decided on Amy's home for our stay on the island. I always check out other properties (hotels) nearby once I actually arrive to see if I made the best choice and I can say indeed this is probably the nicest place on the island to stay. Modern, clean, personalized space with fantastic views and excellent location. I think it would be probably be mistake to stay anywhere else. Fast wifi, great AC, good showers, lots of towels and a communicative host. This place deserves five stars.

Thanks, Dan. Happy you enjoyed Sotavento 3B and were able to use it as a little home away from home, with a view. I have stayed many places on the island and it is super fun to do the comparisons!  You are welcome back any time.

Breathtaking views and wonderful team! Highly recommend.

Thanks, Joli. Happy to hear you enjoyed the views and that the Capi's team met your expectations! Thanks for selecting Sotavento.

Just do yourself a favor and book this place! What an amazing view and the place is awesome! Very attention to detail and a great hostess! Marcella met us out front and gave us the tour and told us everythng we needed to know about the place. We had a fantastic stay! the place is in Punta Sur which is on the other side of the island, which we like because it's away from the hustle and bustle of the center. Do rent a golf cart to get around, the Marcella will get one for you if you like and also they can have a doctor come to the villa to do a covid test for about $70 US dollars. Which was great because I had no idea where to go get one! Everything was perfect!!! There are two bar/resturants down the street, the drunken burrito and the Joint, live music and the food was good! We can't wait to be back! Thank you Amy for being such a great Hostess!!

Thanks for your original review, Marilyn!  I will pass along your feedback on Marcella -- she's the best!!

If it’s serenity you’re looking for : bingo!Far from the hustle and bustle of the North (or Cancun), but close enough to enjoy it when you want. Will never stay anywhere else on Isla!

Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate. Punta Sur is mesmerizing. : )

Our stay at Amy's place was great. What a beautiful view to wake up to. Her place was clean, the bed was very comfortable and firm, the water pressure was good and we really liked the location away from downtown. We found out after we went into town to rent a cart that there was a place right behind the property that rents carts so you don't have to take a cab into town to get one. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at Amy's again.
