The difference between privacy and isolation

There is quite a difference between privacy and isolation, as some people have found to their cost when moving away from the city to the countryside to get away from it all. When living in central New York for example with the noise, bustle and traffic many have gone to the other extreme when escaping and moving out of the city and ended up finding out that privacy and isolation are not the same. realizing that having  a bit life going on around, was not so bad after all. There is not much chance of finding oneself isolated on Isla Mujeres, after all the Island is only 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) long and 650 meters  (under half a mile) wide. However, privacy can be quite difficult to find.

There are now lots of apartments on the island, where noise can be a a bit of a problem and having to share a pool doesn't suit everyone; there are those who have retired to Isla Mujeres or on vacation, who want to just read a book and relax maybe even have a siesta by the pool, and small children squealing and teenagers dive bombing in the pool, doesn't really work.

We rent  luxury Isla Mujeres villas at Punta Sur, which are three bedroom, three bathroom properties. This is the most peaceful area on the island. Where guests can relax and enjoy the gardens and pool in tranquil  surroundings, and yet still be just a few steps away from bars and restaurants and a beach club. 

Although the rental properties are at the southern end of the island it is still only fifteen minutes in a golf cart to the busy center where the majority of the Isla restaurants and entertainment is located.

Medical Care

Surprisingly there are many residents and regular visitors to Isla Mujeres who are still not quite sure what to do when they need medical treatment, this is exacerbated by the fact that many Americans don't completely trust Mexican doctors. 

Whether this is justified or not, it is not comfortable being treated by a doctor in whom one doesn't trust. That is why we always give a mention to Dr Greta Shorey, a very experienced English doctor who has been on Isla Mujeres since 1988. A consultation is inexpensive, and whether it is  a local person being treated free of charge or a tourist, you are given all the time you need. Dr Greta +52 998 402 6874.
