Isla Mujeres Itinerary

We recently returned for a short trip to Isla Mujeres, just off the coast of Cancun. We'd visited this tiny island several years ago and we were amazed to see how much it had changed--and how much it stayed the same. New hotels, new attractions, and a larger number of daytrippers from Cancun had added a little buzz to this island, but it still maintains the laid-back atmosphere which made us first fall in love with it.

Here's a look at our itinerary during our Isla Mujeres stay. (Keep in mind, though, that we combine business with pleasure so your itinerary might involve a lot more R&R.)

Thursday

Noon: Arrived in Cancun where we took a transfer to the private ferry for Avalon Reef Club.

Afternoon: Time for a little resort exploration. We grabbed a quick lunch in the open-air Kelly's Grill then hit the beach for some sunning and snorkeling.
