Aluxes was an amazing place to stay. The staff was so thoughtful and friendly. There are 3 restaurants you can go to all with great food. The hotel is located on the nicest part of the beach and within walking distance to many shops, restaurants and bars. I would definitely recommend Aluxes and can't wait to go back!

HOTEL-Great location, their beach is beautiful, lots of chairs and day beds
-pool hours 8am to 7pm
-turn the air-on then you arrive!
-Jacuzzi are supposed to be only used until 11:30 pm, that’s when the lights go out, but we used it past that time …tip: take a dishwasher tablet with you and put it in the Jacuzzi before you use it and clean it out (rec’d from a previous guest)
-king bed was very comfortable, the sheets had a ‘plastic’ feel, maybe too much bleach/starch, but clean!...and the room was clean and bathroom as well, except the marble floors were not very clean…wear shoes/flip flops!

My boyfriend and I vacationed here 2 years in a row, and both times exceeded our expectations. We're both in the hotel business, so we are admittedly hotel-snobs. Let's be honest, you usually get what you pay for. In this case, you get A LOT MORE than you pay for. While you won't get a 5 star hotel with all the bells and whistles, you will come very close!

The service is hit (90% of the time) or miss (10% of the time). Highly recommend buying the inclusive package because it pays for itself with breakfast and drinks alone. Keeping in mind what we paid, the food is very good, with a good variety. Room service was very fast - we only waited for our food to arrive for 15 minutes on a few occasions. Grounds and rooms are kept very clean. Pools are about the same temperature as the ocean, and unfortunately the "hot" tubs are too. When you're at the beach, bring your chair down to the ocean (all chairs are set about 50-100 feet away from the water so that the servers are closer to the bar and kitchen). Although you won't get food and drink service, the ocean breeze is a million times nicer and really cools you off from the sun's heat.

Although it was difficult to convince ourselves to leave the beach during the day, we're very glad we did. Make sure you rent a scooter (the main mode of transportation for most locals) or golf cart for 2-3 hours. Drive around the island, visit the Turtle Museum, and enjoy the views. Bring binoculars - the views and sunsets are outstanding. Go to the national park at the southern tip of the island, which has more amazing views and you can walk around the water's edge. Very neat experience.

All in all, this is definitely the place to stay if you're looking for a relaxing vacation. If you're looking for a Cancun-style week long vacation, this is NOT for you. It's true that the town pretty much shuts down after 10/11pm. If you're looking for a quiet, leisurely, sun-filled break, you'll be hard pressed to find a better location in the same price-point.

Amazing views, super clean rooms and very modern.Good service and the best breakfast!!!!!!!! Can't wait to go back to this hotel. Isla Mujers is the place to go if you are looking to relax .
