Casa del Jaguar Beach Hotel

Amazing!

Overall the staff was good, especially in the evening. Twice I went to the bar in the early afternoon on two different days and was ignored. Both times I sat for 10 minutes then finally gave up and left. Swimming pool is very cold, which explained why nobody was in it during our entire 7 day stay. We paid $600 a night for this hotel, and it was not all inclusive. The overall service didn't match the price, especially at check out. We were charged for 2 tiny cans of Pringles and three bottles of water. We explained that there were not two cans of Pringles in our room when we arrived. The clerk looked at us like we were ****** and charged us anyway. Additionally, when we arrived we were told that water and coffee in the room was included. We were charged for 3 bottles of water anyway. When we asked why, we were told that only the refillable glass bottle waters were included, not the cheap plastic bottles. We explained that that was not what we were told. Again, a blank stare that insuinated we were stupid or attempting to scam them. So, we were charged $29 for 2 tiny cans of Pringles and 3 cheap, plastic bottles of water. It left a really bad final impression of this very expensive hotel. We visit Isla at least once a year, often twice. This hotel could have earned our repeat business. Unfortunately, it failed to do that.

Casa del Jaguar is a beautiful and very nice boutique hotel with very helpful staff. The location is perfect if you want to stay at Playa Norte. It’s on the beach, but also a very convenient and easily walkable few blocks to the main streets for food and shopping on the north side of the island, and actually about a 15 minute walk from the ferry terminal. The front desk was very helpful with things like renting golf carts, locating various places, and getting around the island. Be aware that the front desk does close at about 10pm each night, so you’ll have to make arrangements in advance if you arrive too late. The restaurant is nice, with friendly staff and right on the beach, and has good food. But because it’s a hotel/resort restaurant, it can be a little more expensive than other places in town. Overall, if you’re looking for a boutique beach front resort experience, then Casa del Jaguar is a great place to stay in Isla Mujeres.

This was a special family trip. Our flight arrived late and we were rushing to get to the hotel before 10:30pm, because that was the closing check-in time. We finally got to the hotel at 10:20pm, but NOT A SOUL was in sight, no one was at the front desk to greet up, no email was sent with any instructions or at least a phone call, NOTHING. We finally notice on the side of the counter some sheets of paper with my name, and the fobs for our room. But where was the actual room, no further instructions were provided! So there we were, wandering aimlessly at night trying to figure out where to go! We finally located our room but no one was available to support us with our heavy luggage! No one even assisted when when we left in the AM several days later! Once inside, the room was immaculate and beautiful, the balcony was the perfect setting and we had a hammock. No complaint about the actual room, location, and access to beach front lounging. But when it comes to the service, I was beyond disappointed, I was disgusted that the staff would be so cold and unfriendly! They pride themselves in having a multilingual staff, but they sacrifice actual customers service by getting non-locals to work here. The friendliest staff were the cleaning staff. Their prejudice and judgment of us determined their treatment and utter disregard for us and our stay, perhaps if we were white and privileged we might have received better service, which is a shame in my own country of Mexico!!!

Relaxing place to stay, next to the beach, great food and easy to get there.

great stay!!!

Fantastic stay at Casa de Jaguar. In the perfect area with many restaurant options that are walkable and places to rent golf carts nearby. The hotel felt safe, modern and clean. The staff that we interacted with were kind and helpful! Highly recommend
