In coming to Isla Mujeres for many years, I know exactly what I want in the way of accommodation and I am delighted to say that this little studio has it all. As the song goes: “These are a few of my favourite things!”

I love being close to the malecon to watch the sunrise each and every morning.

I have to have a window that opens for fresh air. Failing that, good AC that doesn’t rattle in the night.

A garrafon of water with a working spigot or pump is essential as well as a microwave to warm up leftovers. It sounds like a little thing but I am so impressed when a rental provides paper towels!

Enough hangers to hang all of my summer dresses and cubbies so that everything is hidden from sight. An iron is a bonus. A working safe for my passport and all my spending money!

A hook in the bathroom to hang my toiletry bag. Good water pressure in the shower and enough hot water so that I can rinse the cream rinse out of my hair. Extra rolls of toilet paper in the bathroom.

Key hooks by the door. Other hooks to hang my purse and beach bag,

A blender for smoothies or margaritas.

A full set of cooking utensils, a real wine glass and a corkscrew for my happy hour or nightcap glass of wine. Coffee cups and a coffee maker for lazy mornings.

An oven to make cookies or muffins is always nice.

A beside table to accommodate my kobo, reading glasses, my charging phone/alarm and a comfy bed with fresh “Isla” smelling sheets!

Chairs are nice so that you don’t always have to sit on the bed.

A counter or table top so that I can write on my laptop or have a sandwich during the day.

Outdoor space is wonderful to catch some fresh air or have a nap in a lounge chair.

The owners of Candes are very responsive and took great care of me. This space is very compact but also well-priced AND you cannot beat the location!
