We traded our timeshare for a week in one of the Avalon villas. The villa was large but minimally furnished - at least it had a refrigerator. We did not purchase the meal plan - good thing as the food was mediocre and they served the same menu over and over. The pool was kind of small - surprising because... more

46 members of the Crawgator Dive Club (Shreveport/Bossier, LA) spent last week at the AR. It was great. First of all, is the proper perspective: Isla Mujeres, and the AR are smaller, more laid back, and relaxed than your typical tourist trap. That is good. Several of our group stayed in the bungalows without complaint. Those in the tower did... more

Our 9 day Avalon adventure was fantastic. Waking up to a beautiful sunrise in our studio roomwas the start to our exciting day.....Our group of six-adults met every morning to eat breakfast and watch the fisherman and pelicans scoup up their morning meals. A local fisherman would wade in and catch his bait fish with his hand thrown net about... more

We just returned from our trip to Avalon Reef ( June 5th -16th 2008 ) overall it was a great trip, but let me mention a couple items that I think are important when traveling and deciding where to stay. First let me say that I believe that a vacation is only what you make of it and my husband... more

A group of seven cousins traveled to Isla in late June for a four night stay at the Avalon Reef Club. Many in the group had never been to Mexico and this was their first all-inclusive experience. First off I loved the island. A perfect mix of restaurants, relaxed atmosphere, nice beaches, and you can't be traveling by golf cart.... more

Read this whole review before booking! Before you book or elimininate this hotel from your search you have to keep in mind your perspective. If you go on vacation and usually and stay at Westins, Sheratons, full Marriotts (not Courtyards), or even higher like a Ritz or Four Seasons STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL. If you just want a clean... more

When we arrived on Isla Mujeres, instead of taking a cab, we decided to walk to the Avalon from the puerto, about 10 minutes (I don't recommend this as the cab is cheap). We crossed the bridge to the hotel very hot and sweaty, and we were greeted in the lobby with glasses of ice-cold punch by the first in... more

I took my bf for his birthday. I had always heard a lot about the island so finally decided to try it. I loved it! So much we are considering buying property there. The avalon is nice. It is modest and simple. Then again your on a small island but you get your moneys worth. This is not the four... more
