About this property

Welcome to the Sotavento Penthouse #15. This Penthouse is a squeaky clean private three story end unit with one of the most fantastic views on Isla Mujeres with sunrise and sunset views. It is I believe one of the most magnificent condominiums on the Island with breathtaking views on all three levels and scenes of the ocean you will never forget. It has two bedrooms with the one on the main level facing the Caribbean side of the Island. The master suite and private en suite takes up the entire fourth floor with views from both sides. The most spectacular floor in the Penthouse is the roof top terrace where you can enjoy the sun rising each morning or the sun setting each night.
This Penthouse is perfect for a family with children (up to six people), Friends getting together (up to six people), two couples, or just a couple wanting it to themselves to have total privacy.

Great location

We loved our stay in Isla. This place is great other than 2 issues. First the bad stuff. 1) there is a musty/ moldy smell on the second floor. We would not stay here again unless we were assured this was fixed. 2) The AC fan made a high pitched squeaky sound, it made it difficult to sleep at times. If these 2 things were fixed we would absolutely stay here again as the property is in a great location, lots of great restaurants and coffe shops and beach clubs around. The beds are really comfortable and the view is beautiful. There are 3! decks overlooking the ocean including a private roof deck which is where we enjoyed a glass of wine at night. I hope they fix those 2 things so that we can come back!

A beautiful place to stay on the mellow southern area

We loved staying here! For us, we don’t like the big touristy crowds so we opted to stay south. This place had so many positives. First location was perfect for us. We rented a golf cart so it was easy to go up north to visit the busy side which had really great swimming. But right near us we had the best restaurant Rancho Capricho (excellent breakfast lunch and dinner, cocktails coffee, great service etc.) a small grocery, a coffee bus, reggae bar with live music and several beach clubs. You can see the snorkeling crews all docked right there because it was excellent snorkeling. Garrafon se Castillo was the beach club you see out the windows and had great service and excellent snorkeling and swimming for &10/person. The condo had snorkeling gear, sand toys and plenty of towels. Our only issue was that the washer broke but Cesar sent someone right away. They had to order a part so we couldn’t use it which was mildly inconvenient, but Cesar brought us a bag of clean towels and we had enough clean clothes that we brought. Not their fault. The condo was great. Had everything we needed, but the best part was a tower of fresh water which dispensed hot or cold water and was a relief to not worry about drinking water. We honestly just slept there and went out most days and most meals. The pool was also fantastic! A great option to sunbathe and swim in non-salty water. Kids were in heaven. Lastly this was reasonably priced.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Home away from home

We we're vacationing in Mexico for two weeks and one of the weeks we were fortunate enough to stay at the condo. The condo has everything that one would need from blender to coffee maker to great beds. We would love to return one day and highly recommend this location. The terrace was a hit for sunrise and sunsets.

Cesar the manager was amazing. Loved the space. It could use a little refresh as some things were getting a little worn looking. But overall we loved it. Location was just what we were looking for away from the crazy downtown. We will stay again.

Winter Getaway

Enjoyed 4 nights/5 days this past week. Only had one rainy day but still had fun bar hopping and trying restaurants. The condo was perfect for the 4 of us. Cesar did a great job with check-in and answering questions (and extra towels). Kitchen had all we needed to make light meals. There is a keurig there (not shown in pictures). Lots of stairs, but it didn't hurt to walk off the food and drinks! Close to Kin Ha and of course The Joint. We love Punta Sur and the south side of the island. Chedraui wasn't far and we made a couple of stops during the week for various things. Overall a great place and outstanding view!!! We will stay there again!

Loved it!!

Gorgeous apartment with breathtaking views. In the quieter south of the island but we were glad to have more peace and quiet. You have to pay to access the beach below but it’s very cheap and the snorkelling was good. The apartment is very well equipped and comfortable.

Beautiful condo, AMAZING view!!

We had a wonderful 4 night stay! The condo looks just like in the pictures...very beautifully decorated, clean, modern and a breathtaking view of the ocean and Cancun skyline at night. The pool was also wonderful and we were often the only ones using it. If you prefer the beach, it is a very short walk across the street. This was our first time not staying a hotel/resort on the island and we really enjoyed the change. Property manager was also very responsive and wonderful to work with. Would definitely recommend!!

Can’t beat the view

We always stay on the quieter south side of the island. The property was pretty - had three levels in our condo so we rarely made it to the third. We only had three people in our trip so I bet if there were another couple people or children or something the space would have been used more. Pool was clean and nice, towels and snorkel gear provided, the property manager was very responsive- over all a great place to stay. 2 things to keep in mind - there are a ton of stairs to get to the front door so maybe reconsider if you’re bringing someone that has a hard time with that- also there was a lingering sewage smell that would come and go that could get pretty intense at times - but I chalk it up to island living. I would definitely stay here again we spent many hours reading on the porches.

Outstanding view!!!

The condo was beautiful and has everything that was expected minus beach / water access. The snorkeling dock was closed which was disappointing but we didn’t let that ruin our trip. The A/C was great, linens a nice quality, able to enjoy our breakfast, drinks and snacks with the kitchenware provided and overall met our expectations. Bob was very accommodating to our questions and attentive. Spent most of the condo time on the main veranda of the condo with the most amazing view of the sea.

Loved this Condo !!

This condo is as beautiful as the photos show. The location is good and the area is not as busy as up by the ferry. However, with the size of the island, you can get anywhere you want to go quickly. Mike and Rose are very helpful and responsive. The check-in and out process was very easy. We felt very safe at the condo and had no issues at all. The view is amazing. The price was very good and the condo had everything we needed as far as kitchen, bathroom and bedroom items. We would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone and we will likely be returning next year!

Beautiful Views

The views from the property were great, and for the most part, so was the condo itself. It is a great location as well! But, the washer and dryer, the coffee maker, and the turntable on the microwave were all broken. It would have been nice to know in advance. I would have brought more clothes. Cesar the manager bought a new coffee maker, after I asked if he could get one for our last few days. He was great! He met us at the condo, and was very responsive! He called a cab to take us to the ferry for our return trip. We had a great time!

Clean & Beautiful views!!!

We stayed with our family of 4 (kids 9 & 5) for five nights at Sotavento. It was a wonderful condo! The unit itself was very clean, and I’m pretty picky about that! Our children loved swimming in the pool after long days on the beach. We had all our questions before and during our stay answered by Michael and Rosa, as well as the owner Bob. They were fantastic hosts. Our favorite part was the views and drinking coffee and wine on the different balconies to begin and end our day. Being an interior designer/decorator, I loved the special touch of the Rae Dunn pottery for coffee mugs, so cute! Took Great Instagram pics with them. We will definitely be back, Isla is our go to trip with kids and this has been the best place we’ve stayed! Thanks y’all!

Good stay in Isla

The property was clean and well equipped. Kitchen had everything we needed. The patios were nice and we enjoyed hanging out there in the evenings. Cesar was easy to communicate with. Overall a very nice stay! There were a few minor negatives. The exterior door handle kept falling off and the maintenance person wasn’t able to fix it while we were there. The door stayed locked so the place was still secure. The safes could use better instructions. Maybe ask the property manager for a demo when you check in. Lastly there is a property under construction next door so the noise is disruptive at the pool if that’s where you plan to spend a lot of time.

Little disappointed

This could be a great place with some TLC and items fixed. When we booked washer & dryer were listed which is big for us. Apparently the dryer broke and owner never replaced. We had to use a drying rack. Very humid in condo, luggage and clothes always damp. Same items broken as previous review. Constant sewer smell in upstairs bedroom. Grill lid on top patio falls off. Some ceiling fans are broken. Feel for the price point should be better. Amazing views and close to The Joint.

Totally Exceeded Our Expectations!!

This was our first visit to Isla Mujeres and we weren't quite sure what to expect but after some research we decided to look at places on the quieter end of the island and we're so glad we did. The photos alone convinced us that Bob & Sandy's condo was the place. When we arrived and saw it in person we were blown away...even better than the photos! It's a beautifully maintained, modern, well-appointed, 3-story piece of paradise with a killer view from every floor. The rooftop terrace where you could watch the sun rise and set was spectacular. Conveniently located right across the street from The Joint (outdoor restaurant/bar with live music). It became our go-to place to eat. You'll definitely need a golf cart (be prepared...they're expensive to rent) if you want go uptown where the action and many restaurants are. Our only complaint was the condo below us. The occupants were 2 chain-smokers who sat out on the terrace below us most of the day (from 8am on) and their smoke of course rose up to where we were trying to enjoy breakfast or a drink. I guess there's nothing to be done about that but it was annoying. Other than that it was a perfect vacation and a wonderful introduction to Isla Mujeres. We'll be back!!

Couples weekend

We have stayed at Sotavento multiple times and reminded each time why we like the property and the location. This time we wanted to share the experience with another couple and share some time and space together while on the island. Cesar is so nice, we remembered him from our last visit in May and he was helpful via WhatsApp throughout the week. Sotavento is an excellent property with views to match. This particular unit was presented great on the VRBO listing although the reviews gave us some pause in fact we almost stayed elsewhere based on those reviews, but our friends said you like it there and we trust you so let’s do it. Accommodations meet expectations for those who just need a place to “land” but for us we need a place to relax and entertain. The living room set up was good for that, although the round dining table was a bit intrusive for our needs. The pictures showed different furniture as stated by previous reviews and this includes the outside patios. The rooftop deck was basically unusable, there was no table, umbrella or lounger. There were some 0 gravity chairs that have seen some better days, we never went up there again other than to hang clothes to dry and keep them out of the way. Ceiling fans do not work and lack of dishwasher was a challenge for us. Overall compared to other properties (with same layout) at this location the amenities weren’t as we would like but we knew going in and we made it work for our weekend.

In need of repairs, updating and a more accurate listing of amenities.

To start with the positives, Sotavento Isla is in a great location. A one minute walk to the Joint bar and restaurant and a 5 minute walk to Kin Ha restaurant and Beach Club or the Borracho Burro restaurant and bar. We also waked about 15 minutes to the Punta Sur Ecological park. Taxi's drive past the property every few minutes for trips into town. The neighborhood was very safe and the condo property was secure. Entry is controlled via a locked gate and there is security keeping an eye out at night. The grounds and private infinity pool were immaculate. The onsite property manager Cesar was amazing and did his best to make up for the problems we had with this unit. There are 3 separate AC units in the condo and they worked extremely well. There are loungers located on the first and rooftop decks. Owner should add chairs to the master bedroom deck. It would also be nice to add some sort of tables to all three decks to set drinks and such on. The photos are old on VRBO Now the negatives. Communication with the owner from booking to arrival is slow at best. Don't expect prompt replies to emails or questions leading up to your trip. The owner did email a power point informational brochure that had a lot of useful information. The owner's description of the unit on VRBO is inaccurate. There is no dryer in the condo, only a fold out metal drying rack. We never stay in a rental that doesn't have a washer and dryer and felt somewhat cheated upon arrival. The owner should correct the dryer listing immediately! The ceiling fan/light above the bed in the upstairs bedroom never turned on. The ceiling fan in the downstairs bedroom was missing a blade and just wobbled around in a huge circle. The coffee pot was missing upon arrival and there was no turntable in the microwave. (This has been mentioned in previous reviews) After a day of exploring on our second day we found a brand new coffee pot and a turntable for a microwave on our doorstep. It was too big for the microwave and wouldn't allow the door to close with it inside. There is some sort of odor in the stairwell and second floor bedroom. The wifi only connected 3 of our 9 days in the unit. The construction going on next door is no fault of the owner but based on our observations of the speed of the workers will be going on for the next year or so. We would without hesitation stay at Isla Sotavento again but not this particular unit until repairs/updating was complete.

About the host

Hosted by Bob & Sandy Dickie

My wife, Sandy, and I, Bob, live just South of Denver and I have been married for 33 years. We have two daughters Kennedy 20 and Morgan 25. Kennedy attends The Kings College in sin New Your City and the other is back at school attending to get her degree in Home Mid-wifing. I retired 3and my wife and I hope hope to someday make Sotavento Isla Penthouse #15 a semi-permanent home. We moved to Colorado in September of 1999. My 1st visit to Isla Mujeres was 2010 and after four visits I talked my wife into purchasing Sotavento Penthouse #15. Sotavento is run so well I bought a second one in January 2020. It's a one bedroom below mine. It is a dream come true and I'm sure you will agree when you see it for yourself that Isla Mujeres is very special Island.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the Island, the Culture, the people and the restaurants and especially how safe you feel on the Island. I talked her into it and bought the condo on my wife's second trip to the Island. You'll have to see it to believe it. The views are breathtaking and unbelievable round the entire Island and especially the views from the Penthouse.

What makes this property unique

Private roof top terrace with private sun bathing and quite nights with a view.
