Hotel Privilege Aluxes (Isla Mujeres, Mexico)

The hotel is in a spectacular location for exploring and enjoying the Mexican islands. A favorite thing to do is to rent a golf cart and use that to get around. It's a short drive to get to ferries, and there's plenty of attractions, shopping, and opportunities for checking out the natural beauty and trails of the area.

The staff are quite a pleasure to deal with, as they're very friendly, and always ready to assist with travel arrangements, directions, tickets, and extras like flowers and chocolates, to enhance your stay. They are constantly smiling and engaging in polite small talk to make sure everything is going as you've planned.

The rooms at Privilege Aluxes are well maintained, spacious, and charming to look at. Furniture is comfortable, beds and pillows are cozy, and the atmosphere is nice and welcoming. It's great to have rooms that meet expectations.

Not everyone is thrilled that some rooms overlook a cemetery. If you're not comfortable with this as a view, make sure to ask at check-in, and be specific in your request as to what view you would prefer.

Food quality and options disappoint, especially with the all-inclusive package. Alcoholic drinks are often weak, and not what's expected or desired.

Some find the accommodations to not be as bright and fresh as what the resort should be like. Thin walls lead to overheard conversations and distracting sounds and noises, and there are occasional outbreaks of ants that make the trip unpleasant.
