The water is pretty calm, so no putting up with massive waves. The pelicans stay a good distance away. There's so many options in staggering distance from this beach for bathrooms, cantinas, drinks, shade, whatever. This is the top end of isla mujeres (island of women.) The other end of Isla Mujeres, across the island from this beach is the easternmost point of Mexico! This beach is free. It's not associated directly with any hotel or restaurant, so anyone can come here, and they do.

Playa Norte is an absolutely beautiful white sand beach not far from the hustle and bustle of the…read morehotel zone in Cancun. With that said, the actual swimming space on the beach is so narrow that all you can really do is stand in one area with your friends. You're doing no swimming while at this beach. (We were lucky enough to take a boat that anchored right off the beach to allow for swimming there. I'm so grateful for that. But if it's just the sand you're there for you are in luck because it's such a massively deep beach with plenty of space to spread out. There are some umbrellas and beach chairs out, but they're all rentals so be prepared to pay for those, bring your own, or just be out in the sun. There are plenty of vendors roaming the beaches selling ice cream and trinkets. I will leave it up to you if that's a positive or a negative. I think a cold frozen treat on a hot beach day was great. Not so much with the souvenirs that looked like they were made in China. In the end, I'm glad I got to experience Playa Norte. However, if I were to ever return to the island, I think I would spend more time elsewhere on the island than the beach.

I also enjoy their tuna tartare and guacamole, perfectly seasoned. Give them a try for low key, laid back relaxation.

The GURU beach club is in a great location and the overall service and food are good. However,…read moreguests should be aware that the club includes a SUGGESTED TIP on the RENTAL of beach beds. While tipping for service and food makes sense, it's unclear why a tip would be added to a simple bed rental, since no service is actually provided for that charge. For this reason, guests should double-check their receipts before paying to make sure they are only tipping for the services they actually received. ---- El club de playa GURU está en una excelente ubicación y el servicio y la comida son buenos. Sin embargo, los huéspedes deben saber que el club incluye una propina sugerida en el alquiler de las camas de playa. Aunque tiene sentido dejar propina por el servicio y la comida, no queda claro por qué se agrega una propina al simple alquiler de una cama, ya que no se brinda ningún servicio adicional por ese cargo. Por eso, se recomienda que los huéspedes revisen bien su recibo antes de pagar para asegurarse de que solo están dejando propina por los servicios realmente recibidos. ---- Le beach club GURU est très bien situé et le service ainsi que la nourriture sont bons. Cependant, les clients doivent savoir que l'établissement ajoute un pourboire suggéré sur la location des lits de plage. S'il est compréhensible de laisser un pourboire pour le service et la nourriture, il n'est pas clair pourquoi un pourboire est ajouté à la simple location d'un lit, étant donné qu'aucun service supplémentaire n'est fourni. Pour cette raison, il est conseillé aux clients de vérifier attentivement leur reçu avant de payer afin de s'assurer qu'ils ne laissent un pourboire que pour les services réellement reçus.

Do not go to Isla Mujeres without going to Punta Sur! :)

Great company to go and swim with whale sharks. Keep in mind these are only here in season…read more (Starting around June 1st - September 15th) The downside to coming to Mexico to swim with the Whale Sharks is you have to wear those ridiculous life vests, but in Isla Mujeres it's almost a guaranteed sighting. Due to government regulations no free diving . The life vest makes it seem like more of a tourist trap than pelagic adventures in other countries. Still a great experience to be in the water with such magical creatures.

The boat ride to get to the sharks can be long (approx. 1 - 1.5 hours) but worth it. Our guide Felipe explained what we can do and what we cant do once we get to the whale sharks. Once a whale shark was spotted, the captain dropped us in the water, perfectly positioned to see the whale shark. Once we returned, we stopped at Playa Norte (some the prettiest water I have ever seen in my life) and they made some fresh ceviche for everyone on board. What a great day and I would recommend their services to anyone.

The drinks were reasonably priced as well as the food. Our host was attentive and very polite. The beach ambiance was great; clean and free of clutter. One thing to note is you will get peddlers constantly trying to sell you merchandise but this is Mexico so its expected.

Forgive me, but I must have missed something. One of the ads says "in this luxurious Beach club…read morefeatures infinity pools." This beach club is almost everything one would want to avoid in a beach club. + Filthy dressing rooms with smelly standing water underneath open slats of wood. + No locker service, but torn apart locker ruins containing people's personal belongings. + Two small, old swimming pools filled with drunks carrying glass bottles and wine glasses. Twice I watched a drunk drop a beer bottle and have it bounce on the cement. What happens when someone smashes a glass? Do they close the whole facility and drain the pool? + Tiny, postage stamp Beach area. Normally one would appreciate a location away from the city center, but this location is so far from the city center the only way to get here is 2 rent a vehicle or pay for a taxi. Based on the description in all of the ads, I expected something similar to services typical of at least a two-star hotel. maybe I came in with way too high expectations. I traveled to Isla mujeres from my beautiful hotel with its four glimmering pools, one of which was an actual infinity pool. Do not travel more than 15 minutes from your place of residence to get here or you will be disappointed. The food. The food was tasty and the food service met expectations. That's the reason for two stars rather than one. I had the Yucatan ceviche and the fried calamari with a side order of french fries. The ceviche was plentiful and tasted good. The fried calamari portion was tiny and was a bit squishy. The french fries tasted bland and we're stale.
