Ferry and Flight Planning
Please review the Ultramar ferry schedule to Isla Mujeres before booking your flights, as ferries do not operate 24 hours a day.
Based on experience, it is recommended that you:
- Arrive no later than 8:00 p.m.
- Schedule your departure flight no earlier than 9:00 a.m.
For your arrival, allow time for customs, baggage claim, and transportation to the ferry terminal. For your departure, allow time for the ferry ride and transportation back to the airport. Many airlines require passengers to arrive three hours before departure.

Lots of kitchen dishes and supplies made it easy for us to cook. A ton of extra towels and linens! Excellent property! Bed too firm for me but my husband loved it .

Beautiful condo, great location. Capi was great, but Amy wouldn’t respond to me after 10 days, 24 hours before check in. That was a bummer, everything else was great.

We had an absolute blast at Amy's place - Sotavento #3. Very comfortable, clean and roomy, with great amenities. The den, kitchen and the first bathroom are on the main floor, while the bed, closets and second bath are up a flight of stairs, providing a beautiful view of the water from the loft. We had a golf cart for the week and put quite a few miles on it, but managed to go to the main town (centro) and Playa Norte only a couple of times; we found Punta Sur to be much quieter, with still a number of restaurants within easy access (Ulan Eatery was a gem). We spent most of our days at the Castilla de Garrafon beach club downstairs from the condo, nice and quiet with good service for 150 pesos. Lupita from Capi's management made our stay easy and worry-free. We found Isla to have changed quite a bit in the last few years, much busier, but enjoyed every minute of our stay at Amy's place and highly recommend it.

Amy’s place exceeded our expectations. It’s in a beautiful & quiet area if that’s what you’re looking for. Not too far from the north side and super close to the water parks which are a must. The security is top notch and the infinity pool was picturesque! Can’t wait to be back to this paradise!!

We absolutely loved Amy’s place! Amy was very easy to get ahold of and answered any questions I had. The room was extremely clean and quiet. We didn’t cook but we easily could have. The washer/dryer was fantastic once I figured out how to read it lol! We didn’t use the pool but we did check it out and it’s very nice! It’s within walking distance of The Joint and Rancho Capricho - both great drinks and food! We would absolutely stay here again and again!

We can’t thank Amy enough for allowing us to stay at her place. She was very friendly and responsive. Property Management was there to help us check in and it made it extremely easy. Communication was great! The views were absolutely amazing. The location made this a very peaceful and quiet stay. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking to have a peaceful getaway to unwind and recharge.
