Villa Silvia

My husband and I booked departmento Elsa here at villas hinaha on beautiful Isla Mujeres December 1-7. We were very sceptical because of the lack of current reviews and the older reviews were not appealing at all. Well let me just tell you we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived and checked into our villa Elsa and still scratching our heads as to why there wasn’t a ton of great reviews. The villa was tastefully furnished and clean. The villa had everything we needed from kitchen utensils, appliances, beach towels and many more miscellaneous items for our comfort and care. We took a stroll to check out the pool and private beach. And it just kept getting better. The beach had a swing bar and also chairs to lay on in the white powdery sand and sunbathe. Beside the pool was a covered rooftop area with a large table and chairs to enjoy the pool or beach with a light for night time use. I enjoyed some peaceful mornings having my coffee there enjoying the view. The grounds are well kept. Lots of lush trees, flowers and plants. The villas are behind a locked door for extra peace of mind, although never once did I feel unsafe especially in this area. There is a beach club next door and we worried when we seen the catamarans pulling in full of a crowd and although there is a sign stating private property a few people would come and snap some photos but were respectful and went on about there day. The music next door was never intrusive. We like to socialize and and have fun but nothing to crazy and this place was perfect for us. I found this place to be very private but not to isolated. We have always stayed at 4 and 5 star resorts and we cannot wait to stay here again. I understand now why the reviews are lacking.. people don’t want to reveal this hidden gem. The owner is very responsive and the price is very reasonable. If you’re looking for a larger place oceanfront ask about unit 1. We stayed in unit 6 and our family friends stayed in unit 5 after they came to visit us here. If I have to write a negative I would say bring an e xtra blanket for the bed since it may be cooler at night and the property manager said there were no extra blankets available. You will need a golf cart or some form of transportation if you need to go somewhere. Unless you wing it and wait for a taxi to drive by
