Hotel Information: The resort occupies Islote El Yunque, a tiny island connected to Isla Mujeres by a 91.5-meter (100-yard) wood bridge spanning a shallow channel. This feature adds tropical-island mystique for guests seeking secluded, casual holidays with a Mexican-Caribbean ambience. To reach North Beach (Playa Norte), Isla Mujeres' most famous sand stretch, guests need only wade 18 meters (20 yards) through waist-deep water.

Insider tip: Famed King's Bath (Piscina del Rey), a natural, nine-meter (30-foot)-diameter, coral-rock pool, lies just off the resort's villa section. The 1.5-meter (4.5-foot) deep pool is softly illuminated after dark.
