This place is beautiful, quiet and has my kind of vibe. If you're looking for a larger resort/condo accommodation you won't like Na Balam. It's more laid back here. They have ten rooms with balconies facing a small pool and hot tub, a good sized shower with a mini fridge, yoga three times a day, and beach access across the street at Playa Norte. The restaurant was a bit pricey but fantastic. The staff is lovely and I was really pleased with our stay.

Room for improvement

Pros: Location - steps away from Playa Norte Hotel grounds are shady - nice escape from the sun Cute cat on site Friendly & helpful staff Walkable to many restaurants and shops Decent AC Cons: Uncomfortable beds Dark rooms Very low water pressure No hot water - eked out one lukewarm shower in 3 days Very loud late at night on weekends due to parties at the MIA. Property has a lot potential, but the benefits of the location did not outweigh the annoyances/uncomfortable accommodations.

Great location. Comfortable room and laid back, friendly staff. Plumbing facilities were somewhat unreliable, though, and getting water pressure and hot water were a real challenge. Flushing toilet paper on the entire island is not allowed, making for a “different and unique” experience altogether. Other than that, it was great. The grounds are tropical and garden-like, and the rooms were very clean. It has a beautiful yoga studio for those interested, and we slept great. Very comfortable beds. 😊. We would go back. Bring washcloths.

The lady Anything at the front desk was rude. The room was OK, but there were steep steps going up to the second level. The room had a tiki roof, which was kind of cool but was poorly lit. It made it hard to get ready and put your make up on. The TV was small and mounted high and had a defective line through the LED screen. It did have Wi-Fi where you could log into your Netflix. The beds and pillows were hard. There were no washcloths. The resort did provide towels for the beach, which was in walking distance. Cabs were outside the hotel all times the resort uses the red beds on the beach, which are queen size beds free to use. They are behind bushes and don’t have a view, they are in the shade. The pool and hot tub were pretty and the surroundings were tropical. AC was a mini split in the room and worked good. The lock on the door was broken and it was hard to unlock and lock. The room overall needed maintenance. no amenities, such as a microwave or coffee pot. Free Limited breakfast across the street at the other hotel. Service there wasn’t great and slow. We had to walk across the street for coffee every morning. Price was right, but hotel could be maintained a little better. Maid service was top-notch. She asked us every day if we need towels or room cleaned. The room had a small porch where we could sit outside poolside. Check and check out was very easy. We rented a scooter downtown and was able to park it right outside the hotel with no problems.

Perfect for me and my family of 5! Amazing location, 5-10 minute walk to everything, 2 mins to the beach! Loved the breakfast and the beach lounge beds that were included! Tropical jungle property shaded with pool and hot tub! We got a massage there- Rocio and Rosario have magic hands, amazing! The front desk staff was very helpful, Melissa was always happy to answer all our questions and give recommendations! Crazy but we had the best pizza we’ve ever had on Isla because she recommended Pizza Bella! I’d give 11/10 because it exceeded my expectations!! Highly recommend this property

We liked the area around the property. Close to the beach and within walking distance of a lot of places. Didn’t like not being able to use the pool after 8:30. Didn’t like the smell of the rooms, they smelled like urine. We had to ask for different sheets and comforters because we had bugs in the beds. We weren’t expecting anything extra a because the price was fair but we did expect better than what we got. Would not stay there again.
