Love the video. We have visited Isla Mujeres several times while in Cancun but we are now considering staying on the island for a weekend. These look like some great places to visit!
Thank you for sharing your insight with the world.

[GringosOnTheGulf]

Love it, we gotta hit that island up again soon one day. ❤ Cheers from 2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Mexico 🇲🇽✌️🥰

[mairsy]

Ahh if we could all be born with this superb voice for videos ❤

12:21 None of those high-rise condos were there in 2015 when I first visited. Quickly becoming another Cancun. Going back in two weeks, staying among the locals.

[mattb]

Thanks for the detailed video! My wife and I are visiting Cancun soon and will be taking the ferry over to the island. How far is the golf cart rental from the ferry?

[Leo_Q]

I just stumbled upon your channel and WOW! The effort put into the videography is TOPNOTCH! I've been to Isla and Cancun a few times and I still learned a few new things from this video. Keep on ROCKIN! I will definitely be tuning into your channel :D

[calyth]

Great tips from the video. Especially the Casa Del Tikinxic. I think the golf cart address have moved, so check the website quoted instead.

[Daringamiga]

Best for 2 weeks in Mexico for me. Beautiful island

[AmyArias-wk]

me enamoro de esos bellos lugares cuando veo tus video.

[chumbaa]

Could you please let us know where are you to reserve the golf cart as seen in your great video?

[ChrisHornback-zq]

What is a good Golf Cart rental company to get a cart for a week ? Traveling next week Jan 11

[galesykora]

Need a recommended Jeep rental - last time I went and rented straight was a 180 steering wheel.

[ijakejobs]

I was there as a child a long time ago. Is it true that I can remember there was a McDonald’s at the ferry terminal to Isla Mujeres in Cancún 15 years ago? And what is the name of that terminal?

[petemoss]

I was wondering if you could give me some tips on the ferry schedules ❓

[richardkariolich]

Going first week of March. Should I stay overnight on the island? Get a golf cart? Any stay recomends?

[seanpaterson]

Great video. How is Isla in August ?

[ceaseless.explorer]

We live here and you did a pretty good job of covering the Island.

[DayTrader]
