Excellent vacation rental. This rental is located right next to the ocean. It has a large pool, with great views of the southern part of the island. The house is large with one bedroom located on the side of the house separate from the rest of the house if a couple wanted privacy. It's our second time renting it, and would definitely rent again.
Cada la Fiesta was a phenomenal location to stay in the island, with a great layout. The house was clean and well kept. We greatly enjoyed our time and look forward to coming back. Beds were firm but comfortable. Bed / bath layouts were good. The back patio area was amazing. Housekeeping stopped by while we were staying and did a wonderful job.
This place has an awesome pool with fantastic location right on the ocean. House was clean with all the essentials for a great vacation. Pubs, restaurants and beach club all within walking distance. Communication with property management was superb.I would highly reccommend it for groups up to 8 people and would definitely rent again next time we return to Isla Mujeres.
The house and setting was beautiful. Everyone felt that they had their own space. Hot tub was covered with cement and were unable to get ahold of management company. Tried text, call, and what's app, with no success. Did comment to the concierge on arrival and he stated that he would contact the management company as well. We truly enjoyed our trip and are looking forward to a return. Owners were excellent prior to stay with communications.
We always enjoy the island, staff was very responsive , but the house could use some updating inside was clean, but the outside areas could use some work, the location was perfect close to everything.
The home was amazing and more beautiful than the pictures. Not sure why anyone would put a negative comment. I would stay here again and again. The views were breath taking and the home was extremely spacious for the 8 of us. Communication and promptness of the management was superb. Definitely would recommend staying here.
Thank you for a great family vacation experience! We were extremely satisfied with the beautiful house and amazing pool! The house was well equipped and the beds were so comfortable! We were well taken care of from the first confirmation email to the check in to check out. We felt very safe and well cared for!
I would definitely come back and stay again. The house is a beautiful piece of paradise!
We absolutely loved the house and setting! The pictures donât do it justice. We had the whole family there, kids & grandparents, and the house was perfect. Plenty of space for everyone, and the best outdoor dining and pool deck Iâve experienced. We also loved the quieter feel of the South end of the island. Weâll be back!
Gorgeous views, sunrises, pool. Loved the 5 bathrooms, layout of the house and kitchen well stocked. There were 8 of us. The North beach is gorgeous as is the south in Punta Sur. Could use some TLC. Rained a lot and dealt with a few leaks.
We just returned from a week at this home. After reading a review I was nervous. This home exceeded our expectations! We would def stay there again. It comes with spring water , paper products, laundry soap and the kitchen had everything and more you needed! The pool and location were amazing!
Only areas for improvement would be spray more for bugs, new mattress in the twin room and a dresser and in the outside house add a table and dresser. Would def stay again. Also communication was always quick!
The property as very nice, but it needs some love. Several pieces of furniture out back were broken and some of the lights did not work, there was also a sewer smell in most of the house.
This property is beautiful. It is set up for parties and relaxation. Very well stocked home in the kitchen etc. Bar stools in the pool -palapa over the pool which is rare on isla. It is lovely and you know it has a wonderful History of festive times over the years. It shows itâs history in some areas of the home which we love because yoI can feel the history of the home and not a feel like a sterile hotel. It is also on the quiet side of the island which is a nice retreat from the downtown area. We will be back for sure !
The house was great. It should be noted that one of the bedrooms has outside access only, so maybe not suitable for multiple young kids. If you have multiple adults, it would be ideal for them. The pool and rooftop bar are amazing. The pool was cleaned while we were there, so always clean. There are plenty of dishes in the kitchen for cooking and entertaining. The washer/dryer is in great condition also. The property manager was easy to communicate with and was very prompt with her responses.
I would definitely stay again.
We had a wonderful time at this house. It was our first time staying on the Caribbean side, and we enjoyed the amazing sun rises and dolphin watching. I do have to say the outside area needs a bit of tlc. Tiles are falling off the pool, and there were excessive bird droppings around edges such that you didnât want to sit on or near the sides. Bird droppings on upstairs palapa made that area unusable. Also, the outdoors wooden tables and chairs have seen better days. Inside accommodations were perfect. We would definitely stay here again.
For the price, this property is fine. We love Isla Mujeres and are grateful for any time we get to spend there. Casa La Fiesta covers the basics, the pool is amazing, and the Mundaca property management staff is great. However, as many other guests have mentioned in their reviews, a lot of TLC is needed here. Ants & roaches in the kitchen, broken/missing tiles in the pool, dilapidated furniture and dishes, broken windows, broken railings up to the rooftop palapa, broken beach chairs; the list is lengthy. We still had a great time here, but felt a little misled. After going back and reading some old reviews from as far back as 2018, I see that the same issues were problems back then and 4 years later have not been addressed. We agree with many of the other reviews; the views & location are amazing - and you're in paradise! But the property needs a lot of TLC, repairs and pest control.
The house was just as expected. All beds were very comfortable and all linens were clean and cozy! Nicole helped us into the house and was very pleasant. She gave us all kinds of advice on where to go and even drew us a map. Lol. She was very prompt anytime we had any questions or any issues. We did have a few minor issues while there & each issue was fixed in a very timely manner. Pool guys came to clean pool while we were there & did a ok job. The pool could have been a little cleaner, but was not dirty by no means. We definitely enjoyed that there was a grill onsite! Transportation around the island was super easy, we found that if you stand at the end of the driveway you could always catch a taxi or the bus. All in all the location was amazing! The house was very clean & nicely set up, and the pool and views from the pool were fabulous! We definitely would love to come back in the future! Highly recommended!!
We had a great time at this house. We stayed at this house for one month. The check in process was good and Jan Carlos did a nice job communicating through Whats App. He did a nice job getting us things like a Golf Cart and other things like Water and helped us find some good restaurants. We had a issue with one of the AC units and they came out and replaced it for us so we would have cold air in the living room. The house is built like a rock. The views are excellent. We would sit in the pool every day and just stare at the ocean. When it got to hot, just grab your Margarita and go under the Tiki hut for the shade. That was really great. We saw some great Sunrises and some even better moon rises in from of the house. And one added bonus while we were there during that time of year was that Sea Turtles would come up every night on a little tiny piece of beach in front of the house which was really cool. All in all it was a great place to stay on a quieter part of the island away from the crowds of people that you get on the north end. And you still had some nice restaurants within 5 min golf cart ride away. Hope to come back and stay there again some day.
Thanks Justin
House was nice when elvis was alive. But has deteriorated like elvis.
House was in good location and view was nice. But house itself has several safety and cleanliness issues. Which i have pictures of. Several areas where electrical wires were exposed. Windows that did not close all the way. Locks on sliding glass doors to bedroom did not work. Pool are had tiles missing and lights to pool did not work. Tried to communicate but language barrier was bad. Was not informed i would have to learn spanish in order to communicate. Patio area was black with areas that were water damaged. Ceilings had several areas that were cracked and had water damage. Gates to areas of the house had no locks anyone could come om the property. I hope that vrbo screens its propertys better. Luckily noone got hurt or we would have a bigger problem on our hands. Again i have pictures and video to document.
The pool pump has been out for a long time. Not really sure how they keep it clean. Green growth on bottom, but with activity it went away. Also missing a drain cover leaving a large hole to step off into. They need to spend some money fixing things. Places were they have water leaks, ceiling is peeling away. Furniture has alot of dings. To of the bedrooms lack in furnishings. Our room had a regular bed and a barstool. No nightstands, dresser or anything to put stuff away. A second room with 2 twin beds is the same. Kitchen has plenty of pots and pans. However a sharp knife is not available, only dull ones. The property manager is the best feature. He did very well. We had workers for a entire day and a derelict car pulled out of the garage in the way for 2 days. Owners spend some money to fix the place up a bit.
The charm of Isla is that it's not super polished so if you're looking for a perfectly updated, manicured and maintained location, Isla on the whole might not be the place for you.
But even with that mindset, you need to be ready for some maintenance issues at Casa La Fiesta that go beyond what to expect with Isla vacation properties. It was actually a little tragic that such a great property was in such disrepair. We are pretty laid-back travelers on our 5th trip to Isla so we don't have super high expectations, but even we were a disappointed in the maintenance of the property.
It does have a great pool and a great view. You can walk down to the southern point. The layout of the house is pretty cool. You just wish the owner would invest a little back into the property and make it glorious again.
The management company was phenomenal. Check in/out was slick. We ran into an issue where the A/C in one of the rooms went out and there was a repair guy at the house within 15 minutes, and it was fixed in less than an hour. Couple other issues came up that were solved right away, so the problem isn't the folks maintaining the property.
I gave it a 3 rating, just to emphasize the condition of the property, but if you take into consideration the pool, the location, the layout, the management company and just the fact that you're on vacation in Isla, it's probably a 4.
Casa la Fiesta has me leaving with mixed emotions.
When entering, you get a sense of pride and great design with beautiful features and decor. It disappears quickly when you get settled and you start to mentally tally all of the missed opportunities and severely outdated and lack of care throughout.
Is this house functional? Yes. Does it keep you dry? Yes. Would I stay here again? Absolutely not.
I read every single review before I rented it and so many state the negative things I experienced. However, I rented this place only because of the recent reviews and assumed some things changed. They absolutely did not.
I tried to cancel when 6 people were unable to make it and we ended up only needing one room. This owner has the most strict cancellation policy and I have used VRBO many times and each one offered cancellation options. Not this one. Overpriced and strict. They sucker you in and donât use a dime to update the property.
I will break down a few thing for future renters.
Master, looks nice. Couple cupboards and a small desk. Bed is absolutely and completely uncomfortable. We woke up sore in every spot of our bodies, complete with restless nights of tossing and turning. The shower has low water pressure and the shower window is too small for the frame causing loud sounds when raining and the water collects and pours there. Sounds like itâs in the house.
The bedroom with two twin beds is the smallest room ever. Nothing to put anything on and no tv in there like advertised.
The queen bed bedroom at the top of the stairs is the best one, visibly. (We did not stay in this room)
The other room, that is outside and has no windows looks ok. (We did not stay in this room)
The kitchen⊠newer fridge than in the pictures, thankfully. Sink is incapable of washing dishes due to no water pressure nor hot water. We had to boil water in order to wash dishes. No dishwasher. They supply the cheapest drinking water available on the island and have no cooler for the water barrel. All the dishes are scary to eat off of especially knowing the water situation. The cups all have cracks and very dingy. The coffee cups have cracks and dings where your mount goes and itâs porous.
All the furniture is old and dilapidated. Paint wearing off and all the cabinets paint in the house were probably cool in the 80âs.
Although they have a great looking pool, the tile and surrounding concrete are very dirty and dingy.
