My wife was teaching yoga there for a week and I tagged along. The staff are super nice and friendly, and the food, especially the breakfasts, was really good. Room was excellent. A lovely setting. It's showing is age a bit but I had fun on the golf course and a very relaxing week. So pretty and the balcony view is fantastic too. Couple of restaurants nearby and in Barra de Navidad via water taxi are nice as well. Can't say enough about the people who work there - good people. From Javier at breakfast to Poncho on the golf course I was very impressed with all of these lovely people. We are returning again this year in February.

Although there are signs of fading in the property (is more than 30 years old) I am sure that this is a hidden gem on the whole coast. Big rooms, nice beach, pool service and more than everything else an exquisite food with a focus on a seafood will make your stay relaxed and not forgetting. Very quite place with its own golf course and marina.

We arrived to a friendly greeting and our room was ready for us. The hotel had large rooms, the staff were super friendly and helpful. The water taxi across to Barra de Navidad made exploring the local town an adventure. The hotel needs a little TLC. A coat of paint could help dramatically, and there was some mildew in the room. The pool towels were probably the best part of the whole stay, so luxurious and plenty of seating around the pool I hope to stay again when the hotel gets a refresh!

This is our Go To place in Mexico, and as usual, it did not disappoint. There were 7 of us in our party, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the food is excellent and the setting can't be beat. We especially take advantage of going into Barra de Navidad to experience authentic Mexican culture.

Just got back from a great stay at Isla Navidad. The hotel was exactly as pictured and delivered significantly more value than the price paid. The resort credit can be used as desired and includes room service (all but tips) and valet parking (although free parking is very convenient). The resort is a great stay without a car - a quick trip from the Manzanillo airport and only $2 round trip back and forth to Barra Navidad on a 2 minute boat ride that operates 24 hours. Barra is a charming town where everything is walking distance. In town, I highly recommend the restaurant Mexico Lindo (try the enchiladas) and Restaurant Ambar for excellent Italian (wood oven pizzas).
