  • Isla mujeres, Mexico. This trip (20th), I determined to try to show the many views of Isla that draw me back, as well as so many other people. If you know Isla, you will know these places and love them too. Music is by wonderful Larry Joe Taylor "Isla Mujeres".

    Beautifully done video Laura...thanks. Any time i'm not having the best day, I just play the video and I'm transformed. We are heading back again in January 2013 for 9 days..aghh!!
    My wife and I met in the Yucatan in 1986 and we have travelled back to the region many times over the years, Isla is our favorite place. Our teenage daughter absolutely loves the Island. Such a wonderful place, it really draws you back.

    I love this video. I've also visited Isla Mujeres many, many times. Sitting in Toronto in the gray and drizzling rain... watching this puts a smile on my face. Can't wait to swim in that warm crystal water and lie in that hot white sand again.

    My favorite on the island. You can go cheaper (Vistalmar is my favorite for that), but having the beach out front, the pool and close to downtown is a trifecta you can't beat.

    Larry Joe Taylor wrote and sang it, and guess what...he was on Isla a few weeks ago playing with the local band! Blessings on your wedding!

    Laura, Just found this (after ordering the song at Amazon in MP3). Great video. We have made about 5 "day" visits to Isla during our 34 trips to Mexico (Cancun, Playa, Cozumel, Tulum, Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Maya). But, no stays on Isla. That changes in February 2018 as we have a 7 night vacation there. Excited. Thanks again for the video.

      Thanks Mel I hope you love it like we do. We have been to all of the places you mentioned and we feel like Isla is home not just a tourist site💕

    That is a hidden gem...Piscina del Rel (The King's Bath or King's Pool) on the penensula of the Avalon Hotel. walk across bridge at 6:12 to Avalon, turn left,take the deck across the front of their restaurant, past the beach,go to villas sidewalk til you see "King's Bath"(6:31) and take the walkway. It is more or less public area. Definitely bring your mask & crackers or chips for the fish- it's like swimming in an aquarium!

    @Larry396SS thanks Larry We are headed back too, a month or two later- kind of like going back home, it is a magnet to us.

    Thanks everyone for watching. Please add your favorite thing about Isla, if you have had the chance to go there!

    That bar with seats hanging over the water is right at the elbow curve as you are going to North beach... Infront of the light house, infront of Sergio's beach bar. Go and enjoy it! Then head down to Buho's at the other side of North Beach, too.

  • @lauracatherwood

    @TheDarkSideOfJesus --- Yes, but as you might know, you've got to know where the good snorkeling spots are. Beautiful, clear water usually means white sand but no fish areas, such as North beach.......rocks, algae, coral, bridges, sea grass...those are all places fish can find food, shelter and shade so look for those or ask people if you want to see great fish action! Start by asking "where is "King's Bath"...you'll be in awe!

    @kunjidee --Regarding just buying a ticket to Isla, go for it- the worse you can do is find a room for 1-2 nites, which gives you a chance to shop around. Usually if you tell them you are staying a week or more, that's music to their ears! I can count 7 places we've stayed, and only one would I not go back to (we stayed one nite while we waited for an opening elsewhere) Top reasonable pics: Posada del Mar, Maria del Mar, Vistalmar.

    @Michael Cocivera Michael, it is Carey Dive center on matamoros near avenida medina.. I looked it up and they have a website. It has been in this location for years.

    Friends- I've added "whale sharks" to my tags because Isla is a stone's throw from Isla Holbox and my friend Jorge De La O can take you to see them. If you don't know about the largest fish known to man, and snorkeling with them, you need to do a google search "whale shark isla mujeres" or pick up the latest Smithsonian mag with a photo of one on the front this month!

    I've spent 1 day on Isla and fell in love. Planning on a wedding for my stepdaughter. Any ideas. Simple and lovely is all.

    Great video. I went to the island a year ago and will be going back in a few months. it gave me alot of things to look for.. You took a picture of the PADI dive center at 3:59, where was that and by any chance did you get the name?

    We used to be "carded" at the bridge, but since the economy tanked for everyone (including Avalon), you just need to walk on by and no one has questioned us in recent years..they want the business. If you look like you don't belong, they probably are going to talk to you, tho, so blend in and be polite. Just tell them your plans if they do bug you... after all, it's a world treasure, not theirs.
