Food scene

I highly recommend walking or riding to Madera Food & Art when you are staying in Isla. The best burgers on the island. The Juicy Lucy is a cheese stuffed patty served on the most delicious bun. The smashed baked potato, served with the burger, is equally as delicious. I highly recommend trying the Mezcal Mojito if you have never tried Mezcal before.

Tacos Al Pastor, a personal favorite. Chicken and cheese tacos for my picky 12 year old on flour tortillas which is great for kids who aren't use to the corn tortillas, you have options here. My husband will usually get a Pastor Torta and they bring out a tray of different salsas and pico every time. Also serving pizza which is great for the kids too. Also in La Gloria and within walking distance.

Who doesn't love a good craft beer? Jeff has you covered. Tasty craft brewed beer along with a ginger beer and a hibiscus beer too. Try them all in the tasting room and grab a six pack or case to go. Return the bottles when you are finished and you will get a 10 peso credit on your next purchase. Don't forget to grab a shirt or hat too while you are there.

Our personal favorite Happy Hour on the island. Many others agree too. The food is really good and drinks are even better. Live music and awesome friendly staff. This is in Centro and Happy HOur is from 4:30-6:00pm. Great for wings, crispy tacos and drink specials. Local craft beer served here too.

A must visit for local Authentic Mexican Cuisine. Dine with Deisy and Raul cooks you a delicious meal. We highly recommend the Chicken Enchiladas Verde and the Chicken Flautas. My husband and I think they have the best Chicken Enchiladas Verde on the island. We have yet to have a bad meal here. They have a bar with extras to add to your meal including a really spicy salsa if you like spice. Deisy will warn you about which one is which.

Sightseeing

A must visit on any trip to the island. If you are an early riser you will love catching the sunrise at Punta sur. Lot's of statues and art (check the times if looking to walk to the tip) sightseeing and exploring can all be done at Punta Sur.

Beach Clubs

Family friendly beach club with no cover. Enjoy a nice cold fruity drink pool side. Swim up bar to keep you replenished. Kayaking rentals and kid friendly food options. You pay a little more for the food and drinks here but the pool is free to use ans well as swimming in the ocean. Swings line two of the bars and plenty of seating around the pool and under the palapa with a massive ship in the center. Great for groups too. The sunset here is pretty spectacular. Great for photo ops too. Explore their water museum with really neat statues as you sit on their pier and watch the birds splash in the water.

The best massage on the island and the best price. Mimi is located inside the restaurant in a rooftop Palapa with views that are amazing. Aromatherapy and the massage itself are all terrific. Mimi and her staff are great and make it fun and relaxing. Great for couples massage. Gilgamesh Mimi Polanco on FB to book.
