Is the bridge rebuilt out to the Avalon and are the condos there in one piece?

Thanks for the clarification. Jax, I’m glad to hear Isla is recovering. I’ve been there twice and plan to return again. Isla really is gorgeous. What I like most is that it is not over-done like a lot of places in the area. What makes it special is that it is a real living and working Mexican community and not just a tourist trap.

Yes, just to clarify…the pier in the Zona Hotelera was lost. The main Puerto Juárez - Isla Mujeres ferry is in service.

As a business owner in Isla Mujeres, I can tell you that the ferry docks were not destroyed and the ferry’s were up and running days after the hurricane. Isla Mujeres and all of this area has made an amazing recovery from Wilma- I would say the island is 90% back to normal. Almost every single hotel and restaurant in Isla Mujeres is open and waiting for tourists. This is a beautiful little island so PLEASE do not change your plans! We are waiting to share paradise with you!

I’d like more information regarding “the boat shuttle service from Cancún no longer exists as the dock was destroyed by Wilma.” Is it the dock on Isla Mujeres that was destroyed, or the one in Cancun? …and by “Cancun,” can I assume that means the dock at the hotel zone, and not the primary dock in Puerto Juárez?
