Cons — Excellence Playa Mujeres

• Premium room categories and Excellence Club can materially increase the price.

Cons — MIA Reef Isla Mujeres

• Food feedback is mixed and often weaker than the location feedback.
• Rooms and facilities are described as older or tired in some recent guest reviews.

• Day-pass traffic, music and beach crowding can reduce the secluded feel at times.
