Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!!!!

Our hosts and the staff were top tear. The property was amazing. The bed and pillows were the most comfortable we have ever had in Mexico. The island is only a complement to the property. We were made to feel like we were invited and were assured that we were more than invited to come again. Anyone shopping need know what makes them happy on vacation so that they choose accordingly. We will certainly return!!!

Short holiday in Isla Mujeres

Wonderful, removed from the madness of El Centro. A quiet oasis. We loved our stay here. A few minor things. Hammock in picture isn’t there. I was looking forward to it! Wi-Fi is spotty. The shower flow isn’t very strong and the hot water takes awhile. Like I said, minor. Steve, the owner, is very helpful with suggestions and Juan, the caretaker, is always there to take care of whatever. We loved sitting on the beach, watching the pelicans dive and the sunsets. A few restaurants within walking distance that are good but other than those, you need a golf cart or taxi to get around.

Very relaxing vacation

This is the first time we have ever gone this route, we have always done all inclusive This properly is so nice you have everything you need. The bungalow was just as pictured and clean. We went the hole week without a golfcart, but next time we will rent one. The taxi drives are nice and will offer to pick you up after dinner We will be back!

I’ll Makax is a little oasis. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!!!

The property is rustic and quiet. We stayed in Casita Perla, which is darling. The hosts are so kind and helpful! I would suggest being your own beach towel (theirs are nice, but not very large).

About the host

Hosted by Grupo Makax SA de CV

We started our adventure here in 1972 and have continued to love our little piece of paradise for all these years. This guest house was built for our "MOM" Pearl. "Casita Perla" is named for her.Steve and Lindell, the owners of Villa Makax are from Wrightsville Beach, NC. They arrived here in 1972, and fell in love with Isla Mujeres. In 1975 they purchased an unfinished house on Sac Bajo and over the last 45 years, their love for Mexico and particularly Isla, is shown through the manner in which they carved out this piece of paradise.

Every stone, every block, every tile was placed with care and love for the land. As pioneers of the North American community on the island, they have experienced and participated in the tremendous growth and prosperity of the community. The depth of their combined love for Mexico and Isla Mujeres is reflected in all corners and crevices of the cottages.
Steve and Lindell are best known on Isla for their dedicated work with the challenged children of the island. Commonly known as The Little Yellow School House, Amor a la Niñez (Love of the childhood) was established in 1998 by local women in a small 6 by 8 foot classroom. The school is supported by donations only, there is no cost to the families.
