About this apartment rental
Welcome to the Sotavento Penthouse #15. This Penthouse is a squeaky clean private three story end unit with one of the most fantastic views on Isla Mujeres with sunrise and sunset views. It is I believe one of the most magnificent condominiums on the Island with breathtaking views on all three levels and scenes of the ocean you will never forget. It has two bedrooms with the one on the main level facing the Caribbean side of the Island. The master suite and private en suite takes up the entire fourth floor with views from both sides. The most spectacular floor in the Penthouse is the roof top terrace where you can enjoy the sun rising each morning or the sun setting each night.
This Penthouse is perfect for a family with children (up to six people), Friends getting together (up to six people), two couples, or just a couple wanting it to themselves to have total privacy.

Enjoyed 4 nights/5 days this past week. Only had one rainy day but still had fun bar hopping and trying restaurants.
The condo was perfect for the 4 of us. Cesar did a great job with check-in and answering questions (and extra towels).
Kitchen had all we needed to make light meals. There is a keurig there (not shown in pictures).
Lots of stairs, but it didn't hurt to walk off the food and drinks!
Close to Kin Ha and of course The Joint. We love Punta Sur and the south side of the island. Chedraui wasn't far and we made a couple of stops during the week for various things.
Overall a great place and outstanding view!!!
We will stay there again!

As described! Clean, gorgeous views, quiet yet accessible location.

We always stay on the quieter south side of the island. The property was pretty - had three levels in our condo so we rarely made it to the third. We only had three people in our trip so I bet if there were another couple people or children or something the space would have been used more. Pool was clean and nice, towels and snorkel gear provided, the property manager was very responsive- over all a great place to stay. 2 things to keep in mind - there are a ton of stairs to get to the front door so maybe reconsider if you’re bringing someone that has a hard time with that- also there was a lingering sewage smell that would come and go that could get pretty intense at times - but I chalk it up to island living.
I would definitely stay here again we spent many hours reading on the porches.

Three of us stayed here for a Birthday Celebration and the property had everything we needed. Views of the reef and all the yachts anchoring for the sunsets it was perfect!

We have stayed at Sotavento multiple times and reminded each time why we like the property and the location. This time we wanted to share the experience with another couple and share some time and space together while on the island. Cesar is so nice, we remembered him from our last visit in May and he was helpful via WhatsApp throughout the week. Sotavento is an excellent property with views to match. This particular unit was presented great on the VRBO listing although the reviews gave us some pause in fact we almost stayed elsewhere based on those reviews, but our friends said you like it there and we trust you so let’s do it. Accommodations meet expectations for those who just need a place to “land” but for us we need a place to relax and entertain. The living room set up was good for that, although the round dining table was a bit intrusive for our needs. The pictures showed different furniture as stated by previous reviews and this includes the outside patios. The rooftop deck was basically unusable, there was no table, umbrella or lounger. There were some 0 gravity chairs that have seen some better days, we never went up there again other than to hang clothes to dry and keep them out of the way. Ceiling fans do not work and lack of dishwasher was a challenge for us. Overall compared to other properties (with same layout) at this location the amenities weren’t as we would like but we knew going in and we made it work for our weekend.

To start with the positives, Sotavento Isla is in a great location. A one minute walk to the Joint bar and restaurant and a 5 minute walk to Kin Ha restaurant and Beach Club or the Borracho Burro restaurant and bar. We also waked about 15 minutes to the Punta Sur Ecological park. Taxi's drive past the property every few minutes for trips into town. The neighborhood was very safe and the condo property was secure. Entry is controlled via a locked gate and there is security keeping an eye out at night. The grounds and private infinity pool were immaculate. The onsite property manager Cesar was amazing and did his best to make up for the problems we had with this unit. There are 3 separate AC units in the condo and they worked extremely well. There are loungers located on the first and rooftop decks. Owner should add chairs to the master bedroom deck. It would also be nice to add some sort of tables to all three decks to set drinks and such on. The photos are old on VRBO
Now the negatives. Communication with the owner from booking to arrival is slow at best. Don't expect prompt replies to emails or questions leading up to your trip. The owner did email a power point informational brochure that had a lot of useful information. The owner's description of the unit on VRBO is inaccurate. There is no dryer in the condo, only a fold out metal drying rack. We never stay in a rental that doesn't have a washer and dryer and felt somewhat cheated upon arrival. The owner should correct the dryer listing immediately! The ceiling fan/light above the bed in the upstairs bedroom never turned on. The ceiling fan in the downstairs bedroom was missing a blade and just wobbled around in a huge circle. The coffee pot was missing upon arrival and there was no turntable in the microwave. (This has been mentioned in previous reviews) After a day of exploring on our second day we found a brand new coffee pot and a turntable for a microwave on our doorstep. It was too big for the microwave and wouldn't allow the door to close with it inside. There is some sort of odor in the stairwell and second floor bedroom. The wifi only connected 3 of our 9 days in the unit. The construction going on next door is no fault of the owner but based on our observations of the speed of the workers will be going on for the next year or so.
We would without hesitation stay at Isla Sotavento again but not this particular unit until repairs/updating was complete.

This could be a great place with some TLC and items fixed. When we booked washer & dryer were listed which is big for us. Apparently the dryer broke and owner never replaced. We had to use a drying rack. Very humid in condo, luggage and clothes always damp. Same items broken as previous review. Constant sewer smell in upstairs bedroom. Grill lid on top patio falls off. Some ceiling fans are broken. Feel for the price point should be better. Amazing views and close to The Joint.

The views from the property were great, and for the most part,
so was the condo itself. It is a great location as well! But, the washer and dryer, the coffee maker, and the turntable on the microwave were all broken. It would have been nice to know in advance. I would have brought more clothes. Cesar the manager bought a new coffee maker, after I asked if he could get one for our last few days. He was great! He met us at the condo, and was very responsive! He called a cab to take us to the ferry for our return trip. We had a great time!
5.0
The property was clean and well equipped. Kitchen had everything we needed. The patios were nice and we enjoyed hanging out there in the evenings. Cesar was easy to communicate with. Overall a very nice stay!
There were a few minor negatives. The exterior door handle kept falling off and the maintenance person wasn’t able to fix it while we were there. The door stayed locked so the place was still secure. The safes could use better instructions. Maybe ask the property manager for a demo when you check in. Lastly there is a property under construction next door so the noise is disruptive at the pool if that’s where you plan to spend a lot of time.

Cesar the manager was amazing. Loved the space. It could use a little refresh as some things were getting a little worn looking. But overall we loved it. Location was just what we were looking for away from the crazy downtown. We will stay again.

Fantastic views and an awesome property. Garrafon Reef was right out back. Quiet part of the island. Don't miss Punta Sur at Sunrise! Restaurants and small store within walking distance. Can’t wait to come back!

We absolutely LOVED this place and had a great time here with our 3 and 5 year olds. Views cannot be beat.

We have been to a ton of different tropical places over the years and only stay in VRBO’s because we like to experience the local culture…I can say without a doubt that this was the most amazing stay and experience we have had. From meeting the owner, Bob, when we arrived to the last day when Cesar, the manager, made sure our taxi arrived at 5:30am and everything in between…I wouldn’t change a thing!!!
The views from each floor were truly unbelievable!! The condo was pristine with extra blankets, snorkel gear, a cooler, floats & so much more!! Everything about the condo is actually better than the pictures… And a huge plus was walking 20 steps to the best snorkeling on the island!!

Beautiful place!
The island is beautiful. We loved the condo. It had everything we need, which was great since it rained the whole time that we were in Island Mujeres 😫We explored all the restaurants close by and we love the food. We had a half day without rain and we walked to Garrafon and it was very nice. To bad the weather was bad and we couldn’t snorkel. Hope to be back some day to enjoy the sunny and beautiful beaches ☀️🌞

Quiet and safe, perfect for families or groups!
Sotavento was a great place to stay! It was very clean and Bob could not have been more helpful with communication. The Beach Club across the street is way less crowded than the other beaches and a great place! The unit was comfortable, had beautiful views and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again! It was our first time to Isla and I was not disappointed. The south end is a lot more quiet and relaxed. I never felt unsafe and had a wonderful time. Thanks again to Cesar and Bob for their communication and helpfulness!

Location is amazing!
We spent 10 days at Sotavento with our friends - the space was well suited for us. The condo is exactly as pictured - the views and location are beyond amazing. Located on the southern end of the island conveniently away from the hubbub of the downtown core. Building manager Cesar is super helpful and responsive. We had a minor blip with the washng machine (it began leaking when starting the wash cycle) - it was reported and is like to be fixed in short order. Aside from that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It’s important to note there are a number of stairs to get to the unit — if anyone in your party has mobility issues a ground level suite may be more suitable. There is a convenience store right across the road, The Joint Reggae Bar is a great place to enjoy live music, food and drinks. You must try the tacos at Capriche Ranch……..amazing and the service is excellent! Overall we had a family stay and would definitely return.

Beautiful tranquil property
Cesar the property manager was very helpful with any questions we had and was kind enough to carry our heavy suitcase’s up 2 flights of stairs on his shoulders which really impressed my 8 year old nephew. Property was beautiful, clean and serene. The pictures don’t do the property justice. Would definitely stay again!

Isla Family Fun
The condo was gorgeous!! It truly is as pretty as the pictures. There are several nice restaurants as well as things to do within walking distance. However, on the bad side...we did not have wifi the entire trip as stated in the description. The microwave didn't work. The washer/dryer combo took am extremely long time to get one load completed. Even despite these things the place was gorgeous and I'd highly recommend it to a family! It is locked and gated so only occupants can enter. It has gorgeous views and an awesome pool. There is also awesome snorkeling behind the complex at Garrafon de Castilla. We'd definitely stay again; just unfortunate to not have access to things promised in listing...especially at the price we paid. Isla is awesome...BOOK IT!!

Beautiful views
We just completed our week long stay at Sotavento. The condo was beautiful and the views are breathtaking. We have been to Isla several times but never stayed on this side of the island, it was so peaceful. The property was immaculate. We enjoyed the beautiful pool with our daughter many times. Cesar was SO helpful is arranging many needs for us, and made our experience worry free! The only thing missing from the listing is there wasn’t a grill. It wasn’t the biggest deal, since it was probably too hot to grill. All in all, we loved our stay and would stay here again!

A wonderful place
This condo is so great! The location is perfect for amazing sunsets. We stayed a week over Christmas and had a great time. Felt very safe, caretakers were helpful and friendly, the condo felt like a home away from home.

Outstanding view!!!
The condo was beautiful and has everything that was expected minus beach / water access. The snorkeling dock was closed which was disappointing but we didn’t let that ruin our trip. The A/C was great, linens a nice quality, able to enjoy our breakfast, drinks and snacks with the kitchenware provided and overall met our expectations. Bob was very accommodating to our questions and attentive. Spent most of the condo time on the main veranda of the condo with the most amazing view of the sea.

COVID-19 Prevented Our Stay This Year
So we can't review our 2020 stay. However, it would have been our third time at Sotavento....obviously we love the place!

Amazing Stay
We have rented many vacation properties through the years and by far this is my favorite. It had everything a person could ask for. It was so well loaded and such a great location that we cannot wait to return. Everything about this condo was top notch. The views from every floor were amazing, it was quiet, safe and we loved it.

Quiet sanctuary
This was a wonderful home to spend our week in Isla Mujeres. We loved being away from the hustle and bustle, and able to watch the sunrise each morning from the top balcony. Property was very clean, and friendly management guided us into getting settled. Highly recommend a golf cart —it added some fun adventures as we traveled daily up to the North beach. The infinity pool was also a quiet & beautiful place to read a book. Snorkeling was steps away and also easy for the kids. Pass was good for the day too! Highly recommend for families. We traveled with our nanny, and she had her own room/bathroom downstairs and we shared the very spacious master with our kids who slept on a comfortable air mattress. The stairs are fairly steep but have a nice easy to reach hand rail to hold. Little kiddos (young toddlers) would probably need supervision on these stairs, but our 3 yo and 7 yo did just fine. Wonderful property and location!

Loved this Condo !!
This condo is as beautiful as the photos show. The location is good and the area is not as busy as up by the ferry. However, with the size of the island, you can get anywhere you want to go quickly. Mike and Rose are very helpful and responsive. The check-in and out process was very easy. We felt very safe at the condo and had no issues at all. The view is amazing. The price was very good and the condo had everything we needed as far as kitchen, bathroom and bedroom items. We would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone and we will likely be returning next year!

Awsome Place To Stay, Great View
From start to finish we really enjoyed the stay and communication from the owners and property manager who was always available.
The property is outside the hustle and bustle of the town center which we really liked having been to Isla on 3 other trips. Rent a golf cart, you don't need a car on the island. It's a 15 min or so drive to the property from the fairy docks on the golf cart.
View - The condo is on the leeward side of the island which means more tranquil water and the view is much better on this side since the water is calmer. You'll likely just want to stare out at the beautiful view all day.
Snorkeling - Located right next door is some of the better snorkeling on the island and you can access it by paying a whopping $6 US which gives you access to lounge chairs and umbrella for the day since your staying next door.
The condo has everything you would need, is very nicely decorated upstairs and down. Just don't have any complaints about it really. They have a water bottle on the counter if you prefer bottled water.
My only issue was with the Belkin WiFi - you really only get wifi in the living room as (I work in IT) Belkin doesn't make the best product. No fault of the owners just know the wifi is limited to the living room. Part of that also has to do with the construction of the condo.
Highly recommend staying here to anyone looking for a safe, secure property on Isla Mujeres.
