A little slice of paradise where the Caribbean breeze whispers sweet nothings and the sun rises like a shy debutante at her first ball. Tucked away on the enchanting Half Moon Beach and just a pebble’s throw from downtown’s bustling shops and restaurants, this family-run gem has ‘relaxation’ written all over it.

Ideal for couples seeking a cozy retreat (or anyone who fancies quiet time with a side of ocean views), Hotel Playa La Media Luna exudes a casual charm that’s as warm as the Isla Mujeres sun.

Fancy a dip? Take your pick from three pools. Lounge by the large one overlooking a secluded beach, take a quick dip in the smaller one, or make a splash in the third one running along the side of the hotel. And don’t forget to order your favorite cocktail from the poolside bar!

Each room comes with either two double beds or a king, a terrace or balcony (complete with a hammock for those mid-afternoon siestas), and garden or ocean views. Need more space? The ‘apartment’ has a kitchenette, two double beds, and a sofa bed. Feeling fancy? The ‘King’ suite boasts a large terrace with a hot tub.

Don’t forget to pamper yourself with spa services available from Spa at Secreto next door or enjoy massages right on your balcony or terrace. And rest easy knowing there’s a 24-hour front desk and security.

Just remember, while Half Moon Beach is gorgeous with the most amazing sunrises, it’s not a swimming beach. But no worries, you’ll still enjoy the calming lullaby of the waves, thanks to the strong currents and breeze.
