“WILL stay at this hotel again, when we visit Isla again”

Was a little worried when we booked this hotel as it was rated 2+ star. Everything was in order when we arrived, rooms were ready. This is a very clean, simple hotel, no TV/Phones (who needs this anyway?) About 3 blocks from Ferry. Quick walk to shops and restaurants. Our little hidden gem!

“Great choice in Isla Mujeres.”

Roca Mar was wonderful for us. It sits off by itself in one corner of downtown, so you have your own private guest house, and it's a short walk anywhere downtown. The swimming beach is five or six blocks away, but we like to walk, and you can walk along the beachfront or through town; either way interesting. The oceanfront rooms are right on the waterfront, so you can see and hear the waves crashing right outside the room (and there's a small patio on the ocean side). There's even a glass bathroom so you can take a shower while watching surf. The hotel was recently renovated, so is clean. Everything works. There are a lot of outlets. There is wifi in the lobby area, but not in the room. There is no other hotel on Isla that is anything like this -- modern and clean, but isolated on the Atlantic side on the surf.

“Great value great pool”

Great value for money - it doesn't have all the mod cons but most important of all it has a superb pool area and only a few minutes from North beach.

“A Keeper”

A quiet,clean,comfortable place.Right on the ocean,amazing view complete with sound effects(the surf)A short walk to everything.Awesome

“Fabulous location/very satisfied with service,etc in relation to what we paid”

Wonderful breeze off the ocean keeps room very comfortable. You can hear waves crashing on shore all day and night if you keep patio doors open. There is no air-conditioning & you don't want it, or you wouldn't be able to enjoy the sounds and breezes. Lovely balcony overlooks ocean. Great location right in heart of the town. Fridge in room. Great 2-star hotel for adults. (Kids would be bored there.)

“A Dream Come True.”

Discovered this architecturally 'funky' hotel hanging right over the crashing Caribbean while out walking the malecon on an earlier trip to Isla Mujeres. Vowed to myself I would stay here next time. So, two years later, I spent ten nights at the Roca Mar in mid-to late November 2010. Wow, what a view! Unobstructed windward vista of turquoise and aquamarine Caribbean with surf relentlessly crashing onto rocks just beyond your balcony. View the island from one end to the other in a glance. Watch the frigate birds and brown pelicans soar and dive for fish. See cruise ships from Cozumel slowly pass at night far off-shore; A constant warm gentle breeze from open sea with soothing sound of breaking waves. Modern comfortable room on third floor in excellent condition. Queen bed comfy as was the hammock you can string out on the balcony. No television or telepho:00ne. Room kept spot-lessly clean with bed made daily and fresh linen /towels supplied each day by friendly and dedicated cleaning staff. Tiled bathroom with shower only super clean and sundry items provided. Water pressure in shower and sink was extremely weak and flow a trickle. It took five minutes for hot water to arrive. Water 'hard.' Nightwatchman / security guard on premises all night. During my visit they installed a new layer of concrete on the roof! So there was construction noise and dust from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. They were also chipping-away loose cement to patch and re-paint.

“Hear the Waves Crashing!”

Best part of this hotel is the constant crashing of the waves and the spectacular view! Location is also great!

“the view”

the hotel is all about the view, It's great to look at the sea everywhere from your room and balcony ( even from the bathroom with the glass door). The staff is very nice and friendly, the room was very clean and the maid create new design with the towel everyday. The pool area need some work to be more cosy. I will go back to Roca Mar at Iasla Mujeres.

“Stylish Isla Mujeres”

Very nice room and staff helpful in providing me with best help.

“What a view & soundscape. Beats the heck out of Cancun's hotel strip”

Hotel Review: Wonderful breeze and sound of ocean waves on a rocky shore. I couldn't help but doze off when lying on the balcony's hammock. AC & hot water worked fine & were included in the per night price for room 17 (middle floor in middle of the building). The lower two floors (below ours... there is one above middle floor) may have privacy issues as there is an 8' wide public walkway between the shore & the hotel (not used by many). The lowest floor is actually eye level with the walkway, separated by a balcony wall. The hotel appears to undergo seasonal exterior renos regularly in the fall. While we were there they were rebuilding seaside courtyard walls. It was a little noisy after 9 Am, but not too bad. Room furnishings are a nice king sized mattress on a frame, balcony hammock, 2 plastic deck chairs, wall mount desk, built in clothes closet with drawers & free safe with lock. No TV, poor WiFi. The pool has a wonderful ocean view, but is pretty basic and not quite as serene as depicted in some pics due to paint weathering and the walkway. We did not note the presence of the large telecom antenna some have said is on the roof. It may have been moved.... I didn't take note of it being an issue until after we'd left & it is in none of our pics. There are fresh drinking water dispensers, however 2 out of 3 days the 18 L bottles were empty. Staff were at the desk wnen the bell was rung, but otherwise seemed occuppied in the office. The cleaning staff did a good job.
