We booked this hotel at the last minute while staying in Cancun. We were very pleasantly suprised by this hotel. The rooms were very modern, functional and spotlessly clean as was the grounds of the hotel. Everything has evidently been recently renovated and is brand new. The views of the Carribbean are spectacular from the rooms. The rooms do not... more

I had been visiting the hotel Rocamar annually since the early 1970s, but my March 2009 visit will be my last. Recent renovations have destroyed all charm and comfort, and have left sterile, ugly, and impractical rooms which nevertheless still have a magnificent view of the sea below. Probably the most offensive feature of the somber gray rooms is the... more

from Toronto, Canada February 2009 My husband and I returned for our 8th stay at Roaca Mar. We were initially concerned about the renovations but were pleasantly surprised with the many upgrades at the hotel. Firstly we both enjoyed the new bed: it was so comfortable and had all new linens. We were concerned about loosing the "slats" on the... more

My husband and I stayed here in early February. We have never been here before so I cannort comment on the way it used to be. I thought the room was great #17. You feel like you are on a ship all you can see is water from your room. I was really surprised people had negative reviews of the... more

My husband and I fled to the Roca Mar from another hotel where we were very unhappy with our room. We had room 7 (ground floor) and Room 24 (top floor). (We were happy with Room 7, but with no reservation, the only way they could accommodate us was if we changed rooms after 2 nights.) We loved the Roca... more

After four nights in Cancun, we were ready to experience the laid-back lifestyle of Isla Mujeres. We were not disappointed. The hotel is an easy 5-minute walk from the ferry landing. Check in was casual, just given the room and safe keys and headed up the steps to the room. No elevators, so be prepared to lug your stuff up... more

First off, I believe the previous review by "LauraMassachusetts" was a plant. Warning! I actually tried to contact him/her before staying here, but no reply. The review seemed phony. Way too exuberant..plus the word major spelled "mayor"..not a big deal except as a tip-off that it was written by the owner. Whatever. Anyway, that said..we were pretty unhappy with our... more

We are staying at the Rocamar hotel now, we arrived on the 8th and we will be leaving on the 14th. We are repeat guests, we use to stay here before the new ownership, we were a little sceptical about coming back but we thought to give it a try, I am very glad because we absolutly love the updates.... more

We were at the Roca Mar 10 years ago, and you could not ask for a nicer hotel in a better location. It was, at that time, the very nicest hotel in all of Isla Mujeres. Now, however, it has been remodeled into a prison-like atmosphere--metal doors with odd, futuristic numbers prominently displayed, the gardens have all been uprooted and... more
