Every time I plan a trip to Isla Mujeres, I look at all the accommodation options, and end up at Punta Piedra again (and will be staying there for my 5th time this winter). For a woman traveling solo, it is perfect. The owner, Amy, is a very friendly woman originally from the U.S. She and her family live just a couple doors down, and it's nice having someone close by who, if I got sick or something happened, I wouldn't have to rely on communicating with in my horrible tourist’s Spanish. Beyond that, the location is perfect - just far enough out of town to be quiet and relaxing, but close enough that you don't feel stranded. It’s about a 20 minute walk to town, or you can get one of the taxis that drive by every few minutes. It is right on the beach on the Caribbean side so you get the sound of crashing waves and the stiff breezes that are partial to that side of the island. There is a private pool for the 4 apartments. Each apartment has its own hammock next to the pool, overlooking the ocean. The apartments themselves are comfy and well equipped - not 4 star luxury, but perfect for a "beach bum" vacation. And the price can’t be beat! There are a couple other places on the island in this price range, but not a single one has all of the amenities that Punta Piedra does. Speaking of price, it will probably be close to your last day before Amy comes around to collect the remainder of what you owe (after your deposit). Don’t fret! It’s just the laid back way things are done on the island. The only negatives I can think of are: 1. The bed isn't W Hotel comfy, but it beats the rock-hard matresses you find in most of the Yucatan, and 2) the pool can be pretty chilly throughout most of the year.

My husband and our 12 yr old daughter went last October and it was perfect.
We don't get a lot of "just the 3 of us together time", since my mom who has Alzheimer's lives with us. So my sister stayed with Mom and we had 7 days of just us.
We stayed in the lower Apt. 2 with 2 beds. We loved having the full kitchen and made use of it every morning for coffee and breakfast while daughter was out in the crashing waves collecting her sea glass and shells. Taxis were cheap and we buzzed here and there. We had a driveway to park our golf cart we rented for a few days. AND we loved our own little pool right outside our door complete with lounge chairs and hammocks. There was a few ladies staying in the apartments next to us but we saw them once. Amy - the owner is great and checked on us. And we loved the local doggies that hung out with us.
We started talking about where to go this fall and it was decided unanimously that we are going back to Isla AND Puntra Piedra in October!! Can't wait!!

My husband and I finished our yearly 3 weeks in Mexico with 3 days at Punta Piedra. It was wonderful, very peaceful. In the mornings you could watch the sunrise and know that there is peace in the world, if only on that small island. I have a fairly stressful job and only get one vacation per year so it is nice to go to a place that is away from hussle and bussle of the world.
I read 4 books I brought with me and went to sleep each night to the sound of the waves on the beach. Everything we needed was there and Amy was great with anything else we needed. Have all ready booked our next stay there, this time for 7 days.
I like the upstairs room better because you can nap on the balcony and have the windows open and not worry if someone will walk up or look in. Yes it is a little remote but taxis are reasonable 20 pes. to the square but if you want peace and quiet and a simple room with a comfortable king sized bed this is the place for you.

We stayed 8 nights at Punta Piedra II in the bottom studio. We were unsure if our balcony would be private enough because it's right next to dipping pool but we liked the idea of being close to beach and pool, so we booked it. It was as if we were the only ones staying there! We rarely saw the other guests (which would have been fine). The studio has everything you need to make simple meals. They supply all the drinking water you'll need. Very clean and no bugs...the only time I was bit was on an evening trip to town for dinner. The location is far enough away from El Centro that you can choose either a busy or quiet atmosphere easily. We also walked to the south into the small neighborhoods and found the island tortilla makers and the homemade bar-b-que man. We really enjoyed that.
Amy (the owner) was great as is Bowser, the dog, and Pepepita (something like that), the cat. And the highlight, which isn't on the web site is that there is WiFi.
