Hotel Playa La Media Luna
An interesting hotel in a nice, peaceful corner of Isla Mujeres in Mexico.
Even though not on an all-inclusive stay, we were still forced to wear a pathetic little wristband for four days. We paid for breakfast for the 1st of the 4 days, but were told that it was not included (I have the bookings.com proof). Our room was not cleaned for three days - a cleaning person came in reluctantly on day 3 after repeated requests, but I told her it was too late and not to bother as we were leaving the next morning. Our family room was on ground floor which was OK, but it meant we could not open the doors at night as we warned not to - too dangerous, is my guess.

The biggest disappointment part was that we were not allowed to swim at a beautiful beach in front and to the side of the hotel and were chased out of the water several times by some thuggish-looking life-guard, because he claimed it was 'too dangerous" - this was absolute nonsense, as it is as safe as a pool and the few rocks in the water were no problem whatsoever. I cannot really blame the hotel for this but I think prospective guests should know about it. In addition, the derelict structure next to our hotel was manned by leering security staff day and night, making it impossible to lie on the beach without being under 24 hour 'surveylance'.
In spite of all the negative aspects, the hotel had some charm, largely due to the fact that it was the exact opposite of the brash and noisy resorts in Cancun and adjacent areas.
