Our Host Hotel is Nautibeach on Isla Mujeres, all shows are walking distance from the hotel. IMPORTANT: Please book your stay at Nautibeach Condos with the group. Musicians' rooms are paid for only from room sales from the NautiBeach rental block of rooms that we have on hold for our guests. It is important that we book these rooms in order to help cover our musicians' room costs.
Please make sure you reference IslandFest when making reservations, we have the rooms blocked for our guests. Nautibeach has a few 1 BR condos and mostly 2 BR condos, so bring friends and split the cost! You will not find better accommodations at a great price in such a beautiful place.
