Review:
Isla Mujeres is a beautiful Mexican island just off the coast of Cancún, easily accessible from the city's shores via day trip ferries and excursion boats. The stunning island, which is named after the Spanish phrase for "Island of Women," is renowned for its famed beachfront stretches, including picturesque Playa Norte. Luxury hotel resorts line its four-mile shoreline, home to delicious brunch spots like the Lola Valentina restaurant. Friends visiting the island for a day can dine under palm trees at the famed Zama Beach Club, which serves up traditional Yucatán favorites like ceviche and tikin xic. Snorkelers and scuba divers can explore the unique art installations of the Cancún Underwater Museum, home to a collection of sculptures by artist Jason deCaires Taylor.
