Hotel Kitchens & Laundries on Isla Mujeres: Back-of-House That Works at Full House
Main kitchens, banquet kitchens, outlet kitchens and laundries for hotels on Isla Mujeres, rebuilt for full occupancy while service continues. Day-trippers and long weekends fill the island; small hotels close for a few weeks in autumn for maintenance.
What We Build Behind the Scenes
Grease & Water
Grease interceptors, laundry water treatment and reuse.
Outlet Kitchens
À la carte and buffet kitchens next to each restaurant.
Extraction & Make-Up Air
Hoods, ducts and fresh air that keep kitchens bearable at 35°C.
Water, gas and drainage for kitchens on Isla Mujeres
Water arrives from the mainland and power through a submarine cable, so storage tanks, back-up power and efficient systems are standard requests. Kitchen and laundry design starts with these supply limits: storage tanks, grease interceptors and water reuse are sized accordingly.
Equipment logistics on Isla Mujeres
Materials and equipment cross by car ferry from Punta Sam; island streets are narrow, so we plan small trucks, golf-cart logistics and on-site storage. Hoods, cold rooms and laundry machines are scheduled and installed with these access conditions in mind.
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.
