How do Isla Mujeres property buyers find the island.

Many people discover Isla Mujeres, when attending a convention or conferences in Cancun, and opting for a day trip to Isla Mujeres. Cancun in many ways is like the States, the hotel zone is modern and all the major hotel chains are there, there is no shortage of anything you can find in the US. The beaches are wonderful but in many ways it is not disimular to many resorts back home.
On arriving at Isla Mujeres on the ferry from Cancun, many are amazed at how authentic the island is; no skyscrapers and no Mc Donald's. There is a large supermarket but even that is a fairly recent addition, most of the businesses are family owned. There is a main street which is just five minutes from the ferry terminal, it is pedestrianized and that is where many of the restaurants and bars are located, most of the of the dining is on the restaurant's terraces. It's a very lively and vibrant area.
The main form of transport for visitors and many Americans living on the island is a golf cart. They are rather slow and the traffic often queues behind them but because the pace is slow, nobody seems to mind. Bicycles are also a good way of getting around, but both bicycles and golf carts should check their surrounding before maneuvering.
Isla Mujeres is not somewhere you can get lost, it is just four miles long and about half a mile wide. What strikes most visitors is how safe and peaceful the island is and this prompts some of those who came on day trips, whilst attending conventions and conferences, to return and consider buying property here. We have sold land to doctors who came to Mexico for a convention and decided that Isla Mujeres was where they wanted to retire, even though they were far from retiring age. Judging quite rightly that soon all the prime building land will be gone.
In general people buy their retirement home long before retiring age, use it for holidays and weekends in the meantime and rent it out for the remainder of the time. Our luxury Isla Mujeres homes, that are three bedroom, three bathroom fully gated with gardens and a private pool, depending on the season, rent for between 450 -$600 per night.
