Best kept secret in Cozumel ~ Wife and I finally agree on something!
Just returned from Coz where we stayed with Sherri at her IslaMar Villas for 2 weeks. Villas are spacious, immaculately clean and the staff friendly. Sherri helped us plan our activities and pointed us toward things to do and places to go that regular tourist wouldn't necessarily find. The extra touches and personal service made us feel right at home ~ can't wait to go back!

My daughter and I stayed at the IslaMar Villas in July 2003. We had a one bedroom/one bath and we loved it. It was extremely clean and roomy. There was a TV with local cable which has some English channels, a VCR, a double burner stove top, microwave, fridge plus everything you need for cooking and eating. There was an AC as well. The "compound" is surrounded by a wall and a secured front gate. There are 5 total units so you don't have to worry about big crowds. There was a nice pool and whirlpool, dive gear storage, rinse tank and a beautiful garden. It was like a home away from home. Around the corner was a convenice store and it's close enough to walk to town. I never felt in danger. All in all it was a great experience. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for something different from the standard "tourist trap".

I recently returned from the best vacation of my life. I stayed at the IslaMar Vacation Villas. They are centrally located to Town and the beach... very spacious... clean and all the ammenities one needs to spend a week or a month.... I dove with Dive Paradise.. Wow..what an operation. They picked us up, not far from the IslaMar Vacation Villas, at the Baracuda hotel..and left from their dock... Had the best diving. Say 3 turtles on one dive. Also saw a nurse shark swimming... WOW. I saw so many species.. on this week of diving... that I have already reserved another trip this coming winter.... Thanks to the Villas and Dive Paradise for making this a trip that will never be forgotten... Jim Piere

We did the hotel thing in Cozumel a couple of times but then found IslaMar Villas. It's incredibly clean. Very nicely decorated. Perfect for travelers looking for a great place to stay that's not touristy.IslaMar's become our home away from home when we stay in Cozumel. From the minute we set foot in the courtyard, we feel like we're at home.Sherri and her staff are wonderful. Very conscientious of their guests comfort. I highly recommend IslaMar to those folks who are looking for a more intimate experience of the island.
