Villas Coco Resort - Adults Only

Spacious rooms with screened in porch. Great jacuzzi. Small pool but nice pool area for relaxing with many lounge chairs. Huge palapa shaded area for breakfast or just hanging out. Easy walk to Punta Sur.

Terrible bad odor when the wind is from the NW as it blows across the city garbled dump and then to the hotel property. Not many restaurants or other amenities nearby.

We liked the quiet and clean facilities. They give you a nice fruit plate, toast, juice and coffee for breakfast, but don’t expect “breakfast” that most are used to. But “The Joint” (walkable) has a good, inexpensive breakfast if you want eggs, etc. We absolutely loved Kin-Ha restaurant, so be sure to go there for a sunset dinner at least once (we went 4 times). Again, this is a place you can walk to, but take a flashlight to walk home! I’ve listed quite a few “suggestions”, below, that I hope will help others. It would have been good for us to know!

Okay, these are meant to be constructive criticisms! —It is tucked away on a dusty dirt side-street. Bring your old tennies for any kind of walking, and if you don’t have a golf cart, you will walk a lot. —The “concierge” was not forthcoming with welcoming us or with information. He was perfectly fine when asked, though! I think a brochure in each room (laminated would be fine) would be really great, with local restaurants (none really close or evident), WiFi code (you have to copy it from the paper on the front desk), suggestions about snorkeling or other popular things nearby, golf cart rental rates, and other useful “first-timer” orientations. Other guests helped us with suggestions and even let us know that the desk had a few menus for restaurants that deliver. —A large drinking water dispenser in each room should be mandatory, or some kind of central water purification system that guests could fill their re-usable water bottles with. The island is literally drowning in garbage, and the hotel gives you two little water bottles a day — not enough, and shame on them for not doing better. Again, when we asked, a huge, heavy 20 liter bottle was delivered to our room......with no dispenser! It took both my husband and I to fill our bottles, spilling lots. —Speaking of garbage, just know that Isla Mujeres has a BIG problem, much like other tourist locations in Mexico — Cozumel was the same. Bring your re-usable grocery bag!! Try to limit your one-time plastic uses. Disgusting trash everywhere is ruining this beautiful island. Your day can be ruined by used diapers and menstrual pads along the roads you walk. While Villas Coco itself is spotless, the rest of the island roadsides and vacant lots are lined and filled with garbage. So sad! Be a part of the solution if you can find a way to be! I know the locals are making efforts to limit plastic and such, but there are just so many of “us”.
