I can't say enough good about Isla Mujeres
Tammy - BOOK PACK and GO - I would not steer you wrong - it is truly heaven on earth.
Yes - we were at the Avalon - in the villas - don't stay in the tower if you go to the Avalon - do stay in the villas -
The food is to die for . The worst part of the trip was knowing we couldn't try every restaurant - I was in Mexico for eight days and didn't once eat rice and beans.
We had great fun with Jabaily and Bobo - Bobo certainly knows how to handle a golf cart! We were lucky enough to tour around the island with Bobo as out guide.
Ive never been to a more relaxing place.
The top ten things things that really impressed me were:
1. Everything was so clean. The streets, the alleys, the beaches, the bathrooms - everywhere i looked it was clean.
2. No begging - only two people held out their hands the entire trip and they were clearly disabled.
3. One only needs to say NO once and its OK to smile and say no thankyou!
4. No poverty on the island
5. The people there LOVE animals. I never saw anything like it. All the cats and dogs were well cared for - on the cold days the dogs all had on little coats and sweaters.
6. SAFETY - one can really relax - I have never felt so safe in a foreign country as i felt on the island.
7. The food - i cant say enough -
8. The Xpat community is the most interesting bunch of folks - very intelligent, conscious and worldly people
9. The tourists - great people - not your standard tourist -good "quality" people who dont come to the island seeking drugs and sex
10. The beaches - the color of the water - the powder white sand - pure bliss....
