The Hotel Villa Rolandi is located in the middle zone of Isla Mujeres. And the most exciting part of getting there is riding a private yacht at Cancún’s Embarcadero Marina and leave behind the lineup of pirate ships and tour boats. A porter awaiting your arrival leads the way up a marble staircase to a suite overlooking the sparkling sea.

This three-story resort offers 35 guests rooms all furnished in traditional-chic style, with archways between foyer and bedroom, blue pillows piled on the couches, and padded headboards for comfy reading in bed. Bathrooms have showers with dueling showerheads (six in all) and stereo speakers; a flip of a switch converts the shower into a sauna. King beds, couches, and whirlpool baths on the balconies face the hotel’s horizon pool and tiny beach.

Isla Mujeres is the world’s most amazing place to experience Whale Sharks. And so the hotel offers a one of a kind package on which you can have one friendly Whale Shark swim experience of your life. The package includes: 3 nights accommodation in a Jr. Suite, daily Continental breakfast and Gourmet diner, roundtrip airport shuttle and yacht services. Package rate is $1,207 (taxes and rate fees not included). Visit VillaRolandi.com.
