Falta de empatía de los Argentinos por los mexicanos

La cercanía a la playa norte, la ubicación, no hay que caminar mucho a la playa, no es primera línea de playa, como lo dicen en Booking, si tienes que salirte del hotel y caminar hacia la playa tiene unas camas de plástico Rojas, muy a gusto enfrente de la playa, las cuales están incluidas igual los baños y las regaderas que hace muy cómodo la estancia en la playa

En la recepción no recibió una persona de Argentina, un poco déspota.. pero bueno, eso se pasa. Lo consiguiente, fue que las camas de la habitación Super incómodas, puede sentir los resortes en todo tu cuerpo, también rentamos otra habitación, era un departamento en frente en Jaguar Casa Jaguar, ahí la verdad no puedo decir nada a las camas súper cómodas y el DEPTO excelente.. pero el personal del restaurante donde incluyen el desayuno, todos son argentinos y te tratan de una forma tan déspota que no parece que estés en México … creo que no les parece mucho que el desayuno está incluido

Camas incómodas

La ubicación

El trato despota como me habló la recepcionista que me atendió en la mañana, una argentina . Creo que se llama Melissa. Así como las meseras en el restaurante donde incluye el desayuno fueron unas groseras y déspotas y también eran argentinas.. así como las camas de la habitación Super incómodas. Los resortes lo sentías todos.

Big and comfortable rooms located just at the beach, and walking distance to all restaurants and shops.

Little low on staff in the breakfast.

GRAN HOTELITO EN LA MEJOR ZONA DE ISLA MUJERES

La ubicacion ideal del Hotel en Playa Norte, muy acogedor y gran sorpresa que la habitacion incluia desayuno y camastro.

Mi única critica es que la televisión es muy pequeña y no se veía, prometieron ajustarla pero los 4 días que estuvimos no paso, esa es mi única critica como área de oportunidad.

I really cannot say enough about NaBalam! To start, the staff is amazing. They are sweet and do anything they can to mee

The beautiful scenery of the hotel. All of the greenery makes you feel like you are staying in a tropical paradise! The staff are so kind and accommodating!

One bed we had was VERY hard and stiff. Only skeleton keys, no key cards.

Exceptional

This hotel is incredible. Amazing location, just a few steps from Playa Norte (literally 2 minutes walking), and right in downtown, close so all the restaurants, pubs, etc. Rooms are big, clean and beautifully decorated, charming swimming pool and beautiful gardens. The management was king and always helpful, and the included breakfast was generous and delicious. Frankly, I don't understand some of the bad comments I've read here before booking the room, my wife and two kids had a wonderful stay and we will come back.

That I made the mistake of booking another hotel in Punta Sur for the second half of our vacation. We should have booked the entire stay at Na Balam.

High Expectations Met

It was the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing beach vacation. The quietness and greenery of the property was exactly what I was looking for in a restorative trip. The hotel room was spacious. The staff was great. We sent our time by the ocean, although the pool looked lovely. The breakfast was a pleasant bonus. I would stay again.

The beds were a bit firm for my mother. The pillows weren't plump enough for me; next time I'll bring my own pillow.

Very good

very nice location and welcoming staff. The receptionists were very helpful and gave us the possibility to store our luggage even after the check out. I particularly enjoyed the mood and the way everything was furnished and of course the great location! literally at 1 min walking to playa norte!

I felt like I was overcharged on extra services (i.e. renting golf cart, airport transfers etc..). Moreover, we didn’t see that the only available breakfast was the american one and even if I didn’t eat and order the eggs & american coffee the hotel made me pay extra money to order something different which connects to the feeling of being overcharged for anything in Mexico.

a pleasant hotel in a wonderful location.

the hotel pool andthe breakfast. The beach closest to the hotel is amazing, as well as the sea water. However, there were really too many tourists on the beach.

Although I had booked the hotel room 3 months ahead and I am a Booking Genius 2 ranked, I have been provided with perhaps the worst hotel room in a dark corner spot (hence there wasn't enough light inside over the day). As above said, the number of tourists in Isla Mujeres and, in particular, at playa North was really too much.

Very clean, comfortable, quiet wirh access to beach

Breakfast is very good. Fresh fruit, eggs to order, potato wedges, fresh squeezed OJ, coffee, toast all included. Many other options on the menu (cost.) Location also great. Just half a block walk to the beach, a quiet oasis. Included beach club with a reserved bed for each room (no rush to get out to the beach to reserve a spot), umbrellas, palm trees, food and beverage service. A little quieter section of the beach.

There really wasn't a good spot to meet up with the other couple we were traveling with at the hotel. (We like to play cards and games in the evenings. ) Access to an extra set of chairs / little table on our balcony/ patio would have been nice.

relaxing

the location was great, the free breakfast was amazing ! yoga was soothing.

I didn’t like the toilet barely flushed, the pillows were too puffy and made my neck crick. the pool was always dirty but that’s not their fault there big trees over the pool and leaves fall everyday over it.

Best value for money hotel in Isla Mujeres by far. Can't wait to be back!

Amazing stay at Na Balam! Staff was super friendly and helpful, rooms were giant and super comfortable, pool and Jacuzzi were perfect, the included breakfast at Oceanvs was amazing. We loved everything about this stay and could not recommend it more. We previously lived for 1 year on the island, so we know it very well. This is by far the best option you can find in the Playa Norte area, taking all things into account. The reception staff and the beach bar staff were all incredibly welcoming, service oriented and friendly. I can't thank them enough! Kudos to the hostess at the beach bar who was always on top of things and making sure all guests are taken care of.

It's really picky, but the beach beds have a weird design where if you lay back too strong the back part folds. Would be cool if they figured out a way to stabilize it :)

Relaxing beach stay

The rooms are lovely, rustic style with thatched roofs, but very clean. The pool is very good with some loungers and easily accessible from the rooms. The beach is not far, you have to pass through the other part of the hotel (Casa Jaguar) to get to the Beach Club where there is a dedicated area for the hotel with loungers and shade. Literally 2 minute walk. The included breakfast is great, ample fruit platter with freshly squeezed orange juice, toast and eggs (either scrambled or fried).

Sound control. Most of the time, there was not an issue, the hotel is out of the centre so it is quite quiet in the evening, but on Friday and Saturday nights, the noise and music from whether the Guru Beach bar (which has a DJ), the Mia reef resort or from the centre is very loud and continues until about 3 am. That disturbed us for a couple of nights (maybe due to us having a thatched roof), but other than that, the place was great.

We did enjoy our stay, just had to get accustomed to the new Na Balam.

Location was very nice. Quiet and peaceful.

Since remodeling and upgrades, all areas were not accessible to all guests. That was a surprise from the experience we had in previous stays. The breakfast also changed, not being able to have a traditional Mexican breakfast was a big disappointment.

Lovely haven

The exteriors are lovely, nice mature garden, lovely pool, and buildings that fits right in. The breakfast is good, right onto the beautiful beach.

The bedroom itself is a bit plain. From 11am the beach is lined with dozen of charter yachts packed with day-trippers. Lots of music coming from the boats, and often lots of music coming from the phones of locals on the beach too.

Great stay, great staff, quiet on property but close to the action.

Na Balam was a very nice, small hotel! It has a great location, easy walk to North Beach, shopping and restaurants, while still in a quiet neighborhood. Staff was exceptional -- very helpful and gracious.

The only complaint I would have to give is the security of the room. We accessed our room via a sliding glass door (easily broken). Additionally, the hotel is open to the street with no (visible) security from non-guests just walking into the property. I never felt unsafe, but it could be a consideration for others.

Nice place close to the heart of the island

The hotel was very nice, the staff gentle and supportive and most of all the location was perfect, close to the beach (a large red beach couch and an umbrella included) and to the city center.

everything was in line with our expectation

beautiful rooms, friendly staff but needs a few tweaks to improve

close to the beach and close to town. I love the room with a thatched roof. pool is pretty and felt great. very good breakfast every morning!! Access to a beach bed was nice but I’d rather have comfy chairs with an umbrella

the bed and pillows are stiff and uncomfortable (a mattress topper would help a bunch). We were woken up by noise often and loud music on the weekend
