Clean, upscale, adult-only villas at Isla Retreats in a tropical oasis!
We are very excited about our project, Isla Retreats, that we completed in May 2017. Our main goal for Isla Retreats is to provide an adults only, tranquil and unique Caribbean-Mexican experience. Guests can get away from the hustle-bustle of downtown and everyday life to relax and savor the lovely island. We designed the common area to create a peaceful ambience featuring a salt-water pool with waterfalls, beach chairs and umbrellas, tropical gardens and an exquisite palapa. We wanted to keep as much green-space as possible, so we designed the property with many tropical plants and coconut trees. There are many extraordinary hand-carved marble and onyx sculptures throughout the property as well.
Isla Retreats is located five minutes from downtown and Playa Norte, at the beginning of the safe and charming neighborhood, Salina Chica, just past the airport and the college, Bachilleres. Within walking distance, you will find a tennis and basketball court, many local stores, grocery stores and places to buy fresh juice, fruits and vegetables. It is easy to catch a taxi in front of the property to go downtown or to the beach. Parking is available for golf carts as well. Isla Retreats is private, yet close to downtown where you will find many shops, restaurants, bars and live music. If you want to stay in the neighborhood and not go to town, Isla Retreats is located within walking distance to many popular restaurants: Rosa Sirena's, Aurora, Mango Cafe, Caribbean Brisas, Kash Keken Chuc and Green Verde, to name a few. We are located three blocks from the main grocery store on the island, Chedruai, which includes a number of important food items, a bakery, a nice selection of wines and liquors.
Our saltwater pool is only for guests staying at Isla Retreats and Casa de Katy. To keep the grounds quiet, safe and private, we do not allow use of the pool by people who are not staying at Isla Retreats or Casa de Katy. You can enjoy the sounds of the waterfall while sitting by the pool or under the palapa. The palapa and pool area are perfect for coffee and fresh orange juice in the morning, and cocktails in the evenings - or anytime!
There are 6 villas at Isla Retreats. All are upscale, tastefully decorated, and fully furnished with everything you will need for your stay. All villas have smart TVs and high speed WiFi Internet. We provide beach towels and bath towels, high quality linens, a hair dryer, and iron/ironing board for your use. There is an in-room safe to store your valuables and passports. Housekeeping (daily or as requested) is available at no extra charge (tips are appreciated!). There is on-site staff available to accommodate our guests in setting up golf cart rentals and other activities.
Villa #4 is a one bedroom unit with a king size bed and a bathroom. There is a mini-refrigerator, microwave and coffeepot - similar to a hotel room. Villa #4 can be rented with Villa #3 as a two bedroom Villa or as an individual unit.

This place is amazing. Our room was well designes and very comfortable. I really loved the bathroom! The room has plenty of drinking water, a fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. The pool is really clean and very comfortable water temp. The staff are the best part. Everyone at Isla Retreats is so wonderful. The cleaning staff is exceptional! I am so sad I am allergic to cats because I really wanted to pet them! Katy is an amazing host, she even facilitated us having a golf cart delivered to the retreat. Amazing place!

We recently stayed at Katy’s Place through Isla Retreats, and once again, it exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we could tell how much care and thought goes into creating a relaxing and comfortable experience for guests. The space was absolutely spotless, and the attention to detail made the stay feel really special.From the way the towels were neatly and beautifully folded, to the complimentary bottle of wine waiting for us, and even the high-quality coffee provided in the room—everything was done with care. These thoughtful touches truly elevated the experience and made us feel instantly welcomed.The property itself is stunning. The grounds are immaculately kept and full of lush greenery, which added to the peaceful, tropical vibe. The pool was perfectly clean and incredibly inviting—an ideal place to cool off and unwind after exploring the island.Katy was a fantastic host from start to finish. She was quick to respond to every message, answered all of our questions thoroughly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Her communication was warm, clear, and incredibly helpful.This was actually our second time staying at one of Katy’s properties, and each time has been nothing short of wonderful. We feel completely confident booking with her and know that every stay will be clean, comfortable, and full of thoughtful little details that make a big difference. It’s safe to say that every time we visit the island, we’ll be

Christmas getaway
Katy was wonderful with communication. The other staff were also wonderful. We were lucky as we got to check in a bit early and check out a bit later. Our room was very comfortble. It is a small quiet place to stay with a short golf cart ride to the north end. The cats on the property are sweet. We will stay again.
The property is very nice and clean. It’s nothing close by so you have to get a taxi to move around. Every time I had to get a taxi I was charged differently 🤔. Property has a golf car but was rented when I ask for it. If you need to rent a golf car it’s better to do it with the property better price and convenience. Recomendable 💯.

Absolutely AHHHHHHHmazing!
Our stay with Katy was perfect from the get go. Her place is so clean and it looks even better than the pictures! We slept wonderful in the comfy bed. We enjoy the kitties who roam around the property. We had morning coffee by the pool everyday which was a great way to start the morning. The location is great...lots of places to walk to or easy to get a cab ride to the beach. Katy is very friendly and super helpful. I would absolutely stay here again anytime! 5 out of 5 stars..highly recommend!

Loved this quiet oasis in a slice of paradise!
We had an amazing stay at Isla Retreats! Our room was immaculate, the staff attentive and kind, and Katy was a fantastic host. She was easily available by text for any questions, recommendations, etc. and it made our stay in a new environment so much easier to navigate. I’ve already recommended this place to many people and plan to return soon!

Resort Living
It’s not that often that you get to say a place exceeds your expectations. But Isla Retreats does just that. First, Katy was fantastic and greeted us minutes after our arrival and gave us some tips and and recommendations for our first Isla getaway. Second, our room was spotless and maybe I didn’t read the fine print, but our room was made up every day! There aren’t very many VRBO rentals that can claim that. This is a small, boutique resort that feels as luxurious as many of the larger resorts in the Cancun area. Oh, and my wife fell in love with the cats that live on the property! 100% recommend!

Perfect Isla getaway
The location for this property is perfectly centered on the island. Nice parking area for golf carts and scooters. Beautiful foliage and incredible pool that was all very well kept. Some very friendly kitties kept us company in the courtyard area during our stay which was just an added bonus. Katy was absolutely wonderful and very easy to communicate with. We will be staying here again and again for our trips to Isla!

A wonderful retreat!
Everything was perfect. I loved all the high end finishes and little touches. This place was very thoughtfully designed and cared for. The tropical landscaping and pool area are beautiful. The housekeeping staff keeps everything very clean. I liked being away from the tourist area. Having a golf cart to get around makes touring around the island more fun but it is easy to catch a taxi anywhere you want to go. The bus into El Centro/Playa Norte also goes right past Isla Retreats. I liked to make coffee in the morning then walk across the street to watch the sun rise over the ocean. I also loved the lounge chairs in the pool. The owners were super nice and even turned the heater up a bit on the pool so it was more comfortable. (I was there on the tail end of hurricane season and got a lot of rainy weather during my stay.) I would come back here again!

Absolutely beautiful quaint property
Katy and her staff welcomed us upon arrival. The property is well maintained and clean. I loved the oasis type landscaping. We didn’t use the pool because we were constantly on the go, but it looked wonderful. Convenient to the grocery store and famous Mango Cafe. It is a trek to the downtown area, but we rented a golf cart. The island isn’t that big and everyone golf carts around to explore the island. Our room was perfect for 2 people and greeted us with a bottle of wine. This is the perfect place for a nice, quiet getaway. There are connecting rooms to accommodate a family. Thank you Katy!

Well maintained and landscaped resort
Great tiny resort, a short cab ride from the downtown area, but still within walking distance to several bars, restaurants and grocery stores. Rooms are very clean and well maintained. Check in was effortless and the information package provided prior to our arrival was very useful. Staff is very attentive and helpful. Isla Mujeres is a great spot for a laid back winter getaway. I would not recommend using Best Days for the transfer from the airport. Very unorganized and late on both the arrival and return trip.
