I have visited Isla Mujeres 3 times prior to this last visit. This time, we were going to stay for 10 days. The first 5 days we stood in Hotel Cabanas Maria Del Mar in Playa Norte. We were with a group of friends, so the location was perfect. One day, we were driving around the island an came upon the floating house. Directly in front of it was Villas Hi Na Ha. We decided to look around. The grounds were gorgeous as were the rooms! We decided that for our last 5 days on the island we would stay there. This was the best idea! I completely fell in love with the villa and the location. In the morning, we were served breakfast right by the pool, some fruit, coffee, eggs, etc. It was fantastic! During the day, we lounged out on the beach had some beer courtesy of Sergio (he cooked the breakfast, cleaned the pool, served the beer, basically helped take care of the place, GREAT person), he even let us plug in our ipod the speakers so we can listen to some nice Bosa Nova and Gypsy Kings right by the water. I took a dip in the pool which is a few steps up from the beach. At night, the sunset was one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL sunset I've seen. If you have seen the sunsets at Playa Norte, you will understand the beauty of sunsets on Isla. Hammocks and couches line the pool area, beautiful flowers and gardens, full of color...I have no complaints at all. Carlos the owner of the place was a fabulous host and I thank him for making our stay super comfortable and relaxing.
I was looking for a place where I can relax, get inspiration to write and just clear my mind of my busy life in New York City. I can honestly say, without a doubt, that Villas Hi Na Ha was that exact place. If I created the place myself, it couldn't have been any more perfect. I will definitely stay there hopefully EVERY time I vist Isla. Just an FYI - Carlos the owner is very helpful and the so-so reviews are probably from people that visited the place years ago before Hurricane Wilma hit the island. The place has been renovated since. If you are looking to stay there, please feel free to email me (mlbellaro@gmail.com) and I can send you my personal photos of the Villa.
