Almare, A Luxury Collection Adult All-inclusive Resort, Isla Mujeres

Justin Sailors

We stayed at Almare in early February 2026 as part of a large group that rented out the entire resort, and overall we had a really memorable stay. What stood out most was the personalized service at the beach cabanas. My wife and I were taken care of by Alejandro, Edgar, Claudia, and Karen, and they were truly exceptional. They were attentive, kind, and genuinely engaging. The beach team consistently went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, and we found ourselves spending a lot of time there because the service was just that good. They really made the beach experience special for us. The food felt unique and culturally grounded—from the presentation to the flavor and freshness. Because this was a full resort buyout, the menu changed nightly, which we loved. That may not be the case during a typical stay, but even the buffet offerings rotated nicely and were consistently enjoyable. Our room was clean and thoughtfully designed, with great ambient lighting and a lot of nice touches throughout. We especially liked that the room key was a comfortable bracelet—simple, convenient, and easy to wear all day. Just dont over tighten it! :) A few areas could use improvement. Service varied in different parts of the resort. Outside of the beach area, not all servers seemed fully confident about what was available on the menu, including at the rooftop bar, which felt a little surprising. At Seasalt, our server didn’t mention a specialty menu that we later saw presented to other tables. We had already ordered by then, but it would have been nice to know. There were also a couple minor room issues—the toilet chain came loose and had to be reattached, and the shower handle for adjusting water temperature felt a bit worn and loose. The surrounding area does have nearby day clubs, so depending on your room location, noise could vary. Ours faced the pool with a partial ocean view, which we enjoyed. We rented a golf cart to explore town, but honestly, we found ourselves wanting to head back to the resort—it really had everything we needed. They played great music throughout the day, and overall the staff had wonderful personalities. All in all, it’s a beautiful resort with plenty of food and drink options. And a final thank you again to the beach team—they truly made our trip special.

Our stay at Almare Luxury Resort was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, the service was splendid, with staff going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. The 24-hour room service was especially impressive and incredibly convenient, and the food truck on site was a fun and tasty option that we ended up enjoying more than once. The servers and bartenders deserve a special mention as they were always very kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful, which made the experience feel warm and personal rather than overly formal. The atmosphere of the resort is calm and refined, perfect for unwinding. The view is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking sights of the ocean and crystal-clear water right at the beach. Spending time by the water felt peaceful and refreshing, and it was easy to disconnect and fully relax. This resort is definitely ideal for people looking for rest and relaxation, not for those seeking a party scene. We also enjoyed some memorable activities during our stay, including scuba diving, which allowed us to explore the beautiful marine life, and driving around town in a golf cart, a fun and easy way to discover Isla Mujeres at our own pace. The only downside of our experience was the limited selection on the restaurant’s menu. While the food wasn't bad, we hugely preferred the food truck options, and overall having more variety would have made dining on-site better.

Our stay at this all-inclusive resort on Isla Mujeres was nothing short of exceptional, and the staff are the true reason this place deserves five stars. From the moment we arrived, every single person we encountered was genuinely warm, attentive, and eager to make our stay unforgettable. The service never felt forced or scripted—just kind, thoughtful, and personal. Whether it was at the restaurants, the bars, the pool, or housekeeping, the staff consistently went above and beyond, remembering preferences, checking in without being intrusive, and making us feel truly cared for. Their positive energy and pride in what they do completely elevated the experience. The resort itself is beautiful, relaxing, and exactly what you want from an Isla Mujeres escape—but it’s the people who make it special. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already planning our return. If you’re considering staying here, do it—you’ll be treated like family from start to finish.

Almare is undeniably beautiful. The views are unparalleled, the beach access is fantastic, and the staff is genuinely warm and welcoming. That said, I can't give it five stars, and I want to be honest for anyone considering a stay. Food was the biggest letdown. I've seen plenty of glowing reviews about the dining experience, but we didn't share that sentiment. Breakfast at the buffet was served cold, coffee was scarce, and it wasn't clear whether drinks were self-serve. Lunch was average. The burger and fries from the pool restaurant were honestly the highlight of every meal we had. The menu is billed as "gastronomy," but it felt more like small portions dressed up to seem elevated. I left most meals still hungry. Room service was a particular frustration. We placed an order, were still hungry so added to it, and after 2.5 hours and four calls to the front desk, the second order never arrived. Drinks, on the other hand, were great — the bar staff was a standout. Service was a mixed bag. The staff was incredibly kind, but slow. Our room wasn't cleaned until the night before checkout, and we had to call to request fresh towels. For the price point of a luxury resort, it just didn't meet expectations. The bones of a truly special resort are here. It just needs execution to match the setting.

Outstanding! I have been to Cancun area many times over the years. I would say this has been the best experience! White glove service from airport to resort and back. The staff is truly professional, friendly and personal. You are a friend from the moment you arrive. All the meals coffee and drinks have been top notch. From the simple to complex of dishes the food has an amazing fresh flavor. So many activities I was unable to participate in half of them. Something for everyone.
