Casa La Fiesta. Watch dolphins and cruise ships go by from your pool.

We loved the house and the island! The house was perfect for our family of six — parents and four grown children. We enjoyed the pool and the spectacular view of the ocean. We will be back!

Three friends and I selected Casa La Fiesta for our stay in Isla Mujeres based on the photos and reviews and although it was more costly than other options we had considered, we had high expectations that it would be well worth the extra expense.

The house has several positives. It is in a great location, very quiet, peaceful, and away from the hustle and bustle of the north end and El Centro. The pool was a joy to use and the back patio provided beautiful views of the Caribbean. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, as were the common areas. The Wi-Fi was very strong. The kitchen was well equipped and included a new refrigerator. The indoor furniture was comfortable, if a bit worn. There are numerous changes in level in the house but the main stairway had adequate lighting.

On the other hand, it was clear that routine maintenance and upkeep had been neglected for quite some time. There was mold on the windowsill in the lower master bath and broken drawers in the upper master bedroom. We discovered that the roof leaked after returning to the house in a rain storm to find water standing on the floor in the downstairs master bath and dripping from the light fixture in the kitchen. The property manager was contacted and took care of clean up and provided new towels. The laundry room was not clean and had a strong odor.

Outdoors, the pool had green algae in the palapa area upon arrival but it was promptly cleaned and clarified by friendly and accommodating maintenance personnel. The pool lights didn’t work. The patio furniture was worn. The cushions were shabby and thin. There were numerous tiles missing from the walls and counter of the pool bar. The outdoor sink was rusted. There was a bit of trash in the landscaping. Plants needed attention. The upstairs palapa was unusable due to dirty and ripped seating cushions, bird droppings, and a rusted outdoor sink.

Generally, our impression was that this had once been a fabulous fiesta house, but has suffered from an extensive lack of TLC. It could again be a spectacular place to stay and worthy of the expense of a luxury rental when the necessary maintenance and repairs are made

Amazing location, amazing views, AMAZING EVERYTHING!

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 didn’t 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.

Had a great time. Stayed and played on the south end all week. Everyone we dealt with was courteous and accommodating. Loved the layout of the house and the view from the pool was to die for. This place would be a 5 with a little TLC.
