Almare, A Luxury Collection Adult All-inclusive Resort, Isla Mujeres

Sharla Farrell

Almare is the definition of luxury!!! This was one of the best experiences we've ever had at an all inclusive resort. First, we need to acknowledge how amazing the staff was. The service was incredible throughout our entire stay and they were so attentive. Every single day we looked forward to seeing Karen, Alejandro, Claudia and Edgar at the beach beds/beach bar. They were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, so attentive, we never had an empty drink (lol!) and we can't wait to go back and see them. Noe and Emiliano at the front desk /concierge were also so helpful with every question we had and always did their best to find solutions quickly. Eddy, Laura, and Alan were also THE BEST!!! The amenities are top tier, loved the spa treatment, even though it was pricey it was worth every single dollar, especially being able to use the hydrotherapy services after. We also loved the food offerings, especially at the rooftop restaurant Seasalt. Definitely looking forward to our return as this ticked all of our boxes. Our only call-outs would be the music... would love to have more a vibe going on throughout. The music from the neighbouring resorts/beach clubs helped during the day but at night, would love to have something more upbeat, especially at the Lobby Bar!! Otherwise, 10/10... can't wait to go back.

We stayed over the thanksgiving holiday, and I would definitely return. It’s a quiet, peaceful resort, of course you can always meet people and hang at the bar, but there’s no overly dramatic day parties and ragers here which I preferred for this trip. Due to an issue with another room, we ended up in the presidential suite which was insane, however I think it’s way overpriced at $4k a night, there is no liquor or wine in the rooms, just beer, and there was a small lizard living in the master bathroom (not a huge deal to me, I know it’s a tropical environment, but if I was actually paying $4k a night I’d be mad). Also it’s just a tad run down, I incorrectly assumed this was a year old new build and it’s only a year old purchase for Marriott. I get the resort not being packed, and it’s challenging getting supplies to the island, but they were running out of a lot of basics like cup lids and almond milk by the last day, my husband and I kept asking “is this luxury?” It’s reallllly close. The reason for my 5 stars is the TEAM here. From start to finish, every single team member we encountered was courteous and helpful, there are some amazing people working here, and it just feels like the owner is likely cutting the corners, but it doesn’t show on the team. Also I thought the food was great! Only meal we didn’t love was ironically the thanksgiving one 😆, but the beachside tacos, the ceviche, the pork belly tostones, all chefs kiss. And the BEACH!! It’s been a minute since I’ve been to a place with such calm clear waters, and there’s a few rocks but you definitely don’t need water shoes. Venture off resort via golf cart, it’s so worth it. If you’re looking for a nice quiet resort with an incredible team, this is it, they went above and beyond for us

I recently stayed at Almare Island Mujeres for what was meant to be a special babymoon, but unfortunately, the experience did not meet our expectations for a luxury getaway. First, we were disappointed to learn that our private boat service was canceled just two days before our arrival, forcing us to take a public ferry followed by an unpleasant taxi ride. This was not the relaxing start we had hoped for. On the beach there was no tranquility on Friday, but an awful DJ blaring loud, inappropriate music from the hotel’s pier. It felt like a chaotic spring break party, making it nearly impossible for guests hoping to unwind and read on the beach. I was shocked that the hotel didn't intervene to protect the peaceful atmosphere they advertise. Additionally, the lady at the coffee shop was notably unfriendly. Every morning, we encountered the same unpleasant attitude from the barista, which made our mornings less enjoyable. As for the accommodations, while there seemed to be an attempt at upgrades, the rooms lacked the luxurious feel one would expect. The "snacks" provided consisted of a few Skittles and a granola bar thrown in a drawer, which hardly qualified as a thoughtful touch. Lastly, despite being pregnant and needing extra pillows to sleep comfortably, it took four phone calls to receive them—a frustrating experience that added to our dissatisfaction. Overall, Almare Island Mujeres fell short of its luxurious promises and left us feeling disappointed. We ended up leaving a day early, I cannot recommend this place for those seeking a true luxury experience.

This resort was absolutely everything we were looking for during our stay on Isla Mujeres. We stayed at the end of November and it was SO quiet. Very relaxing, the service was phenomenal and the food was all delicious. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the island. If you are looking for a busier evening life scene, it's about a 20 min drive to Playa Norte where most of the shops, restaurants and bars are. However, we only planned to spend a small portion of our trip off the resort so this wasn't a problem for us. We rented a golf cart one day and took cabs the other days. A cab from the resort to Playa Norte is about $12.

We stayed at this luxury resort to celebrate my friend's birthday and wow! Our entire stay was delightful from the ferry trip to the island and back. Our suite was spacious and super clean with a nice jacuzzi tub. We had a fully stocked refrigerator and cozy chairs on our balcony. There are no complaints with the staff at Almare. Everyone worked extremely hard to accommodate us. The meals were unique and tasty however it would've been nice if there were all day buffet options. Overall, I'd book again.
