Villa Elena is a basic accommodation at a very reasonable cost located very close to the main area of Isla Mujeres but far enough away to be quiet. Very clean and good and prompt communication. Highly recommended.

We loved the location and easy access to the central commercial area. Close enough to walk, but tucked back enough for some calm and quiet.
Room was clean and comfortable. Easy access to drinking water. Next time we will splurge for a balcony view!

This place was absolutely amazing and I can't wait to do back! We stayed in Suite 6- a large room with a huge balcony right on the water. We had nonstop Caribbean br
The kitchenette was very helpful to have and the bathroom was well appointed. Even the bed and pillows were great. The staff were what really shined. Everyone was so attentive and helpful at check in and during our stay. They even called a doctor for me when I hurt myself falling off a boat.
I love this place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, safe, customer-focused, family-run place to stay on the island.

Our stay at villa elena was perfect. Suite 5 was lovely, ocean waves crashing all night, room was spotless upon arrival, and bed sheets made each night. Air conditioner worked perfect. Close to amenities and no road nice. Comfy king bed.

Great room with a great balcony view. It'd be great if the receiving receptionist could speak a little English. It was a little difficult to communicate.

Our third (or fourth?) stay at this amazing property. I dream of the million dollar ocean views from suites 4 and 5 and the inner rooms are super convenient for family or group travel. (We stayed in the bottom suite this time—5, I think). The balconies on both ocean facing suites are amazing—perfect for relaxing to the sound of the waves, watching the sunrise, and viewing diving pelicans and other birds. The beds are new as of May ‘25 and extremely comfortable, with outlets built in to the headboards. The full kitchen (including a regular sized coffee pot) makes quick breakfasts and snacks easy for lazy room time. The property provides drinking water, which is a huge bonus. The safe is large enough for a full sized laptop. The property itself is a very quick 10 minute walk from the shops and restaurants in Centro as well as a 10 minute walk to the bay-side bus stop and taxi pick up point. It’s a great compromise between staying downtown and staying mid island. Finally, I can’t say enough nice things about the wonderful staff. They are always available and responsive to What’s App messages and are so incredibly helpful. I don’t think I’m allowed to mention names, but the same folks have been working there since we started coming 6 years ago. (You know who you are and we love you!) We love Villa Elena and its always our go-to when it’s available for our trip dates.

This property was perfect, nestled right into the local neighborhood you are submersed in area culture, it is walkable to shopping and restaurants, the manager was great recommending taxi's and boat trips, would definitely return.

OK
Nice and friendly check-in. But little to no service thereafter. No change of bed sheets. Very simple room. I didn’t like the shampoo, funny smell. Rooftop patio OK, but not nice atmosphere, usually very windy, good views.

The place was very close to restaurants and the beach. The staff never bothered us to clean the unit they cleaned it while we were out. The place had a little kitchenette but we didn’t get kitchen towels until we asked and we were given a hand towel haha it worked.

We were fortunate to stay in Suite 5 and enjoyed a stunning view and a very comfortable bed. The kitchen facilities are very basic which worked for our purposes. the location is very walkable to town and beaches and having afternoon shade on the deck was welcoming. All of the staff we interacted with were very helpful.

Perfect for a quick trip
I liked that this place is within walking distance from the ferry station and that you don't need to turn on the A/C at night, just leave the balcony door open. The owners are very friendly and the room was very comfortable. The bed maybe too soft for my taste, but I would definitely go back!

Wonderful! Clara was very helpful, the place was sparkling clean, and the view from suite 6 is amazing. Possibly one of the better hotel rooms I’ve stayed in, and for a bargain.

Nice and clean room although a bit noisy with the road noise since I had a room next to the street. Bed was very comfortable. The room was a good size, had a rain shower head. I would stay here again but try to get an ocean view room.

We stayed a week at Villa Elana in room #5. It's ocean view is breathtaking! Also, rooftop offers 360 degree view. The property was always very responsive almost immediately to any questions. The onsite manager was super nice! Our room was kept spotless. Will definitely be staying again!
