Hotel Services on Isla Mujeres: Everything a Top-Tier Hotel Needs
New builds, renovations, brand conversions, MEP, kitchens, ballrooms, facades, fire safety, staff housing, energy and maintenance for hotels on Isla Mujeres, under one contract. Isla Mujeres mixes small boutique hotels in town, a few upscale resorts on the north and south tips, and vacation rentals run like hotels.
What We Do for Hotels
Renovation & Brand Conversion
Guestroom programmes, public areas, PIPs and repositioning.
Back-of-House
Kitchens, laundries, stores, staff areas and staff housing.
Maintenance & Recovery
Preventive maintenance contracts and post-hurricane recovery.
Permits and rules on Isla Mujeres
Isla Mujeres municipality, ZOFEMAT and the national marine park govern the island; building heights are low and changes on the shore are carefully reviewed. We map these approvals at the start of every hotel project, so design, procurement and works move in parallel.
When to build on Isla Mujeres
Day-trippers and long weekends fill the island; small hotels close for a few weeks in autumn for maintenance. We build the phasing plan around that calendar, so revenue keeps coming in while the works advance.
Climate and exposure on Isla Mujeres
A narrow island fully exposed to wind and salt; the north tip and Playa Norte take the strongest seas and sargassum.
