Why would you choose to vacation in a hotel rather than an Isla Mujeres luxury villa?

A number of people clearly do prefer a hotel as opposed the comfort of a luxury Isla Mujeres villa, otherwise there would not be so many hotels thriving on the island. There are factors that make staying in a hotel preferable and sometimes unavoidable; indeed the only practical option in some cases. For example if there are just two people on vacation, it will in most cases be less expensive to stay in a hotel, or if someone has mobility problems, or perhaps is unwell; an elevator then becomes essential.
There are also those who don’t value privacy as others do, indeed like being in a busy environment with lots of people around, and are happy with a shared pool, where they can chat to other guests, for them a hotel is ideal.
Regarding cost if there are four or six people, there is no question that a villa will be the less expensive option; we rent a three bedroom three bathroom luxury villas with a pool and lush landscaped gardens, that accommodate up to six people, in the most exclusive part of the Island, for $325.00 USD per night. $54.00 a night per person if there are six people; an unbeatable price when compared with hotel charges.
There are other factors when it comes to convenience and cost. Many guests don’t like having to get up in time for breakfast and would rather get up when they wake up. Whilst the days of getting up in rollers and a hairnet, quite popular in the 1950’s, have long since passed, people are not necessarily at their best in the morning; having had to get up and get ready for work for most of the year, it can be a good time to lounge around and get dressed when you feel like it.
For those who are on vacation on Isla Mujeres with children there are endless advantages in staying in villa over a hotel. Children get tired in the evening, especially when they have been running around all day on holiday; eating out with children who are already tired and irritable, or from the parents point of view irritating, is not always the most enjoyable experience. However, ordering in a pizza, then putting the children to bed and enjoying a quiet drink by the pool, can be.
