We chose Posada del Mar based on reviews here on Trip Advisor. We were looking for low budget and location. We bought our trip as a air/hotel package and figured the hotel portion worked out to about $70.00 per night. That's a really nice price for what we got. Nice hotel room with balcony (partial ocean view) right across from the beach with free beach chairs included. (Beach umbrella 50 pesos extra). The free wireless in the lobby was a nice bonus. Some people reported being able to get it in their room also. The restaurant did not appear to be open regular hours. I think they were open for lunch most days, but I don't recall seeing them open for breakfast or dinner. Maybe we were just out too early to notice? We did order lunch at the beach one day (beach service was available) and the prices were good, as was the food. Nice sized portion of chicken nachos was 49 pesos and a club sandwich with fries was 55 pesos. Pina coladas (etc) were 45 pesos. The location was convenient to everything. Half a block to rent a golf cart. Four blocks to the all-important 7-11 (morning coffee....open 24 hours). Four blocks to the bank. One block to get any boat tours you might want. Three blocks off Hidalgo, the main drag for restaurants. I'd stay here again if i was on a budget (which is pretty much all the time). :)

Great location, close to the beach and downtown, the staff was nice and helpful. Wifi is in the lobby. Our room was great, on the third floor in the new building. Had both a safe and minifridge. Only downside was the bathroom, nice and clean, but terribly design. The wall facing the beds and most of the room is only half wall, the rest is glass, where you can see the shower, and if the showercurtain is open you also see the toilet, and to top it off the glass doesent go all the way up, so noise carries throug to the room. Would definetly recommend this place, but try to find a room with a private bathroom.

Posada Del Mar has always been one of our favorite hotels in Isla Mujeres. The location is perfect, located just across the street from the beach. As a hotel guest you receive complimentary beach chairs throughout your stay. The staff is always friendly and attentive. We have had family and friends stay at this hotel over the years and have never been dissapointed. If you are looking for five star services and amenities, then you may want to look elsewhere. However if a great location, friendly staff, clean rooms, free beach chairs, nice pool & bar all at an affordable price is what you are looking for, then look no further. Posada Del Mar is a great choice!

We stayed at PDM from Jan 15-Jan30, 2012. We love the location as it's a short stroll to the shopping areas & a great beach right across the street.We were shown 3 different rooms on different floors and decided to go with the ground floor in the new section due to an injured knee which my wife had before we left home. Also we wanted the in room safe and fridge that the other rooms didn't have. We had read about the $100 deposit for the safe key and tv remotes, but we were never asked to pay it. The room was adequate for our needs and everything worked. TV reception in our room was bad, but we didn't go to Mexico to watch tv anyway. This is not a 5 star hotel so we got what we expected from it. Clean & safe room with good clean linen daily (some towels were a bit frayed,but clean.That will NOT ruin a vacation for us) and as friendly and helpful staff & quick to smile as you'll find anywhere. The grounds are nothing great, no lush tropical gardens like you'll see at most larger resorts. We only ate one meal at the restaraunt there but only because we wanted to try so many other places on the island. Breakfast & lunch are the only meals served at this hotel. We did take in Happy hour at the bar a few times. It runs from 5-7. Not a noisy atmosphere like some of the sports bars can be and we liked it for that reason. You could actually carry on a conversation without shouting. Romi and Lee are great bartenders, very funny. Romi made the best Mohitos we found anywhere on Isla. When you order one he runs out back & picks the mint leaves himself.
The beach across the road is one of the best on the island. The loungers were free to hotel guests, but you have to pay 50 pesos per day if you want an umbrella. Beach towels are furnished at the hotel lobby. Sometimes they take your room number & sometimes they dont. Juan does a great job of taking care of your needs there as far as drinks & food. We would definitely return here as it fits our needs perfectly as a mid-range hotel.
