Community questions from Isla Mujeres expats
I'll be visiting Isla Mujeres soon and I'm looking for a pharmacy where I can buy skincare topicals like tretinoin and retinol without breaking the bank. Do they require a prescription and are there any pharmacies that offer good deals?
I'm looking for recommendations for a couple in their early 70's with slight mobility issues who don't want an all-inclusive resort and are on a budget.
I'm planning a day trip to Isla Mujeres from Cancun in early December with my friends. We're interested in scuba diving at MUSA and want to know if it's possible to book the tour and ferry tickets in advance, and if our itinerary is realistic for a one-day trip. We're also looking for recommendations on booking websites and tours.
My husband and I are planning a trip to Isla Mujeres and are considering staying at Hotel Secreto. We're looking for feedback on the best ocean view room and any tips or tricks for making the most of our stay. We enjoy immersing ourselves in local culture and plan to venture out to eat and explore.
My family and I are planning to visit Isla Mujeres from the 20th-25th and we're worried about the weather. We've heard it can be quite rainy during this time of year, but we're not sure if it's the kind of place that constantly clears up like many islands.
I'm heading to Isla Mujeres in a few weeks and I'm used to hiking in long sleeves to protect my skin from the sun. However, I've heard that the humidity on Isla Mujeres is higher than where I'm from, so I'm wondering if long sleeves would be too hot. I'll be there for about 8 days starting October 26th.
We have a group of 6 friends going to Cancun in a few weeks. Is it worth a trip to go to the island to just walk around for a few hours, go to the shops, restaurants, etc? We aren't looking to do the snorkeling, so wasn't sure if it was worth a trip without that.
I'm a 33-year-old woman who's quite active and fit, but also on a wheelchair. I can swim and it's my dream to swim with whale sharks or manta rays in Isla Mujeres.
We're planning a beach day with the kids and I'm concerned that the forecast is predicting 8mm of rain per day in late September. Does this mean we'll be stuck inside all day?
Flying in Saturday evening. My hotel says they’ll provide a shuttle for $90 but wondering if there’s a cheaper but safe way to get a ride? I have a big suitcase. And will be traveling with one person.
Planning a trip to Cancun for 8 days, considering getting an all-inclusive resort, and looking for activities on Isla Mujeres.
