📍 ISLA REFERENCE GUIDE: GARRAFON DE CASTILLA 🌊

Looking for a quieter beach day on Isla Mujeres?

As part of our growing Hotel Las Palmas Isla Reference Guide album, we’re sharing some of our favorite places around the island to help guests discover fun things to do, places to eat, and hidden gems during their stay ☀️

Located in Punta Sur on the south end of the island, Garrafon de Castilla is a peaceful little beach club offering incredible snorkeling right from the shore with colorful fish and coral in crystal-clear Caribbean water.

It’s often described as a more affordable and laid-back alternative to the larger Garrafon Park next door. Guests can relax under shaded palapas, lounge by the water, enjoy food and drinks from the restaurant, and spend the day soaking in the natural beauty of Isla Mujeres 💙

🎟 Entrance is right around $10 USD

🤿 Snorkel gear and fins available to rent there (But we do have some snorkeling gear at the hotel too - so you could bring your own!)

🌮Food & drinks available for purchase

👟 Water shoes recommended because of the natural rocky shoreline

This is the kind of spot where you can easily lose track of time in the best possible way.

Be sure to check back often as we continue adding more helpful Isla tips, local favorites, restaurants, beaches, and activities to our reference guide album 🌴

🌕 This May 31st - Honoring the Night Sky: The Upcoming Blue Moon on Isla Mujeres

Our island community will be treated to a spectacular and rare celestial event: a Blue Moon. As the second full moon to illuminate the sky this month, it offers a beautiful opportunity for reflection, renewal, and connection.

For all of us that love Isla Mujeres, the full moon holds a meaning that stretches back for centuries. Long before it became a tropical getaway, our island was a sacred site dedicated to Ixchel, the Maya Goddess of the Moon, Fertility, and Medicine. Maya women would make a historic pilgrimage by canoe to her sanctuaries here to seek her blessings. The moon’s cycles were deeply revered, representing the natural rhythm of life, transformation, and the tides.

Out of respect for this rich heritage, local wellness practitioners continue to honor the island's unique energy.

Our absolute favorite spot to take in this magic is right here from our hotel rooftop. It is a space designed for whatever pace you need. You can find a cozy spot on a comfy lounge sunbed, swing in a hammock surrounded by lush greenery, flowers, and palm trees, or cool off in our rooftop dip pool.

It is also a wonderful meeting place where travelers from all over the world gather by the communal kitchen to share stories and become friends.

If you sit at the bar stools overlooking the street, you get a front-row seat to the heartbeat of the local community. You can watch the daily hustle of the Mercado, see the local loncheritas, and even watch the children and teachers from the elementary school singing and dancing in the courtyard below. It is a truly magical perspective of island life.

📸 Capturing the Magic

The beautiful photos featured in this post were actually captured right from our hotel rooftop by our owner, Kate!

If you want to try capturing your own memories of the lunar glow, here is a link to a video that shows how to take better pictures of the moon using your iPhone:

💬 Let’s Connect Across the Miles!

We love seeing how the night sky connects us all.
