Isla Mujeres packs an unusually deep day pass scene onto a small Caribbean island. Almare, a Luxury Collection Resort and Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets anchor the all-inclusive tier on the north side, while budget-friendly beach clubs like Mayan Monkey Isla Mujeres and Nílu Isla Mujeres by Selina fill in the lower end of the market.
Prices split cleanly into two bands. Budget beach clubs run about $36 to $98 USD and often price in Mexican pesos, while the all-inclusive resorts charge $105 to $285 USD for unlimited food and drink alongside pool and beach access.
Most passes book online through the hotel's own site or a local platform like daypass.mx, and a handful, including MÍA Reef, take walk-ins with no reservation. Bring ID and a swimsuit, since some properties check booking confirmations at the gate.

Do I need to book an Isla Mujeres day pass in advance?
It depends on the property. MÍA Reef Isla Mujeres takes walk-ins from 9am to 6pm with no reservation. Most of the others sell online in advance, including Almare and Zama Beach Club, and booking ahead matters most in high season or during weekends, when Nílu Isla Mujeres by Selina and Mayan Monkey Isla Mujeres raise their rates for Friday through Sunday. Almare requires a $16 USD deposit to hold a spot, with the balance due on arrival.
Can non-guests use hotel pools in Isla Mujeres?
Yes. Every hotel and beach club on this list sells day passes to non-guests, and it's the standard way to access a pool on Isla Mujeres without booking a room. Resorts like Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets and Almare treat day guests separately from overnight guests, with dedicated check-in and set hours, while beach clubs like Zama Beach Club and Garrafon Reef Park & Beach Club are built around day visitors as their primary business.
Where to stay in Isla Mujeres
Playa Norte and the North End are the easiest base, an easy walk to the beach, Avenida Hidalgo's restaurants, and the ferry dock, so you don't need a golf cart to get around. Casa del Jaguar Beach Hotel sits right on the sand here and suits a splurge, while Ixchel Beach Hotel offers apartment-style suites with kitchens and two pools, good value for couples or families staying a few nights.
For a quieter, more local feel without straying far from the beach, Casa de los Sueños Boutique Hotel works well for families, with kitchenettes and connecting rooms. The south end near Punta Sur is scenic but requires a golf cart to reach restaurants and beaches, so it's better suited to travelers after seclusion than convenience.
Almare, a Luxury Collection Resort
Almare sits on the island's east coast, an adults-only resort with a private beach on the Caribbean side and a rooftop pool that opens in the afternoon.
The All Inclusive Day Pass costs $160 USD per person for a Bali bed cabana, with a $16 USD deposit to reserve. It covers unlimited food and drinks, the private beach, the swim-up pool bar, the rooftop pool from 1pm, kayaks, paddleboards, towel service, Wi-Fi, and valet parking. A separate Night Pass runs 6pm to 10pm for food and drinks only, with no pool or beach access.
Day passes run 9am to 6pm daily, booked online through the resort's own site or by phone. The resort's adults-only policy applies to day guests as well as overnight guests.

Zama Beach Club
Zama Beach Club sits on the north side of the island near Playa Norte, a beach club rather than an overnight hotel, with a pool set into a deck facing the water.
The Isla Mujeres Beach Club Day Pass costs 2,000 MXN per person, about $105 USD, with 1,000 MXN of that applied as food and drink credit. It includes beach and pool access, first-come loungers, towel service, Wi-Fi, and golf-cart valet from the ferry dock.
Booking is prepaid online through OpenTable, and the club doesn't accept cash payment on-site, so the full balance needs to clear before arrival.

Garrafon Reef Park & Beach Club
Garrafon Reef Park & Beach Club occupies the southern tip of the island, a day-trip attraction built around a natural reef, with a pool area added alongside the snorkeling and adventure activities.
Royal Garrafon costs $79.20 USD, discounted from $99, and includes a buffet, open bar, five activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, and zip-lining, plus pool access, lockers, and loungers. Royal Garrafon VIP runs $95.20 USD, discounted from $119, and adds an infinity pool and unlimited zip-line runs.
This is more day-trip attraction than pure hotel pool, and many visitors arrive by ferry from Cancun as part of a package that bundles in transport.

Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets
Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets is an adults-only, all-inclusive resort on the island's Caribbean coast, part of the Hyatt Inclusive Collection, with an ocean-view main pool and a rooftop pool.
The Rooftop Pool Day Pass starts from $116 USD, while the All-Inclusive Day Pass runs up to $285 USD and covers the ocean-view main pool with its waterslide, the swim-up bar, beach access, watersports, and full food and drink. A hydrotherapy circuit add-on costs $390 USD.
Pricing above is sourced from resale listings since the hotel's own booking page has been inconsistent for direct access, so it's worth confirming current rates before booking.

Dolphin Discovery / Isla Discovery Beach Club
Dolphin Discovery's Isla Discovery Beach Club sits on the island's south side, run by the same company behind the dolphin encounter program, with a pool set alongside its beach club grounds.
The Isla Discovery Day Pass costs $89 USD for adults and $79 USD for children ages 6 to 12, including beach club pool access, a buffet lunch, Wi-Fi, showers, lockers, and non-alcoholic drinks. Ferry transport and a dock fee add about $15 USD on top for visitors coming from Cancun.
This works best as a full day trip rather than a quick pool visit, since most guests arrive by ferry and combine the beach club with a dolphin swim add-on.

Mayan Monkey Isla Mujeres
Mayan Monkey Isla Mujeres runs its beach club, Areia Beach Club, as a budget-friendly pool and beach setup aimed at younger travelers and backpackers passing through the island.

Pricing is sourced through daypass.mx rather than the hostel's own site, so it's worth confirming the current rate before booking.

Nílu Isla Mujeres by Selina
Nílu Isla Mujeres by Selina, formerly Poc Na, sits close to town on the island's north end, a hostel-style property with a beach and pool setup that draws a younger crowd.

Weekend pricing jumps noticeably, so visiting on a weekday is the better value if the schedule allows it.

Frequently asked questions
Does Zoëtry Villa Rolandi offer day passes?
No. Zoëtry Villa Rolandi is a small, adults-only all-inclusive on the island's north side, and it doesn't sell day passes even when open. The property is also closed for renovations from April 2025 through the end of 2026, so it isn't an option regardless of day pass policy right now.
Are children allowed at Isla Mujeres pool day passes?
Most properties welcome kids at a reduced rate. MÍA Reef charges $49 USD for minors, Dolphin Discovery charges $79 USD for children ages 6 to 12, and Nílu Isla Mujeres by Selina prices children ages 4 to 12 at 875 MXN flat. Almare and Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets are adults-only resorts and don't admit children on any pass.
What should I bring to an Isla Mujeres day pass?
Bring a swimsuit, sunscreen, sandals, and ID, since several properties check booking confirmations or passports at the entrance. Most passes include towels and loungers, but cash helps at beach clubs that charge for extras or don't accept cards on-site, and a copy of the booking confirmation speeds up check-in at resorts like Almare and Zama Beach Club.
More pool day passes near Isla Mujeres
Isla Mujeres sits a short ferry ride from Cancun, and the mainland has a much larger day pass market if the island's options don't line up with your dates. Cancun runs dozens of resort day passes along the hotel zone, while Cozumel offers a similar island mix of beach clubs and all-inclusive resorts a bit further south. Tulum rounds out the Quintana Roo coast with a boutique beach club scene of its own.
