AMAZING location. Half way between the ferry terminal and the beach on the other side (Where all the tours often start from). The rooms are nice inside (Although lack of windows in my room for the option I chose). Wifi is FAST and stable. A/C is good. There is daily cleaning (With free water provided as part of the clean), the rooftop is also AMAZING! Lots of toiletries provided (toothbrush, q-tip, shaving blade) like back in the old days ;-) Would stay again.

this new way of self-checking in everywhere - even hotels. Didn't see a single staff the entire time I was there. Loved Holbox, but Holbox has a massive flooding problem - every street is flooded with water and this sort of forces us to take Taxis eventhough we don't need to. There is a bar on the top floor and they play music from 6 or 7pm ,till later at night. Sometimes its good music, sometimes its loud 'bad' music.

The staff was friendly and kind (we asked to leave the luggage after the check out and they accepted; we had to pay some taxes but didnt had the exact amount and they were understanding and waited for us to come the next days, we asked for a room cleaning and it was done fast). In reality the property isnt so good looking like in the pictures but its comfortable and well maintained. The balcony is a really nice touch! And the view! Just when we arrived, a racoon visited us and we put an apple for him on the table, which he ate later on when he visited us again the other night 😁 On the rooftop they have a bar with a beautiful view and live music. The location is also good. In the area there are shops, restaurants and right in front of the hotel you can find taxi.

We had a pleasant stay, nothing negative to say.

The best hotel we stayed in Mexico. The room was big with a nice terrace, we had a good bathroom and the staff was nice with us. The location is why you should take the hotel : in the center center, 1 to 5 min from all bars, restaurants and shops, and 3 min by foot from the beach. This is where it's happening.

More as a regret, the bar on the rooftop was closes during the time when we were there (for Christmas), so we couldn't try it. Also, the swimming pool is not really a pool. But with the beach that close, you don't need it.

The hotel is very well taken care off, clean and cozy, the room vas very comfortable with a king size bed. There is a nice bar in the roof with live music. The restaurant next door was excellent very recommended. Nice staff, good internet. Well located close to the beach and the ferry station as well.

The hotel is infront of the central park so it gets noisy at some point in the evening.

Great location. We unfortunately had bad weather while we were there so didn’t use the pool but it looked lovely. The roads are very muddy and flooded so was good to be so central to have everything close by. We enjoyed the hotel, beds are comfy. I would stay again but in a suite next time to have more natural light and space in the room.

The weather and rain was unfortunate for our stay so we didn’t get to enjoy the island, nothing to do with the hotel obviously.

The hotel is beautiful from the outside decor to the rooms. There is a beautiful rooftop and it’s the best located property with a beautiful balcony view on the center downtown.

The only downfall is that the pool was closed during our stay due to hotel renovations; however, the staff was incredibly accommodating and we were able to spend the days at their sister hotel right on the beach! I would happily stay at this location again.

Terrace, location, atmosphere, comfortable beds

Shower tube doesn't work properly and there was huge waste of water. Internet WiFi was very bad. We arrived earlier to the hotel but there's no chance to leave the luggage while we were waiting for check-in time. No assistance on site, communication only via messages.

The hotel and room was beautiful, nice big beds, location is great, very friendly staff.

If you want to go to bed early, this might not be it for you. Everyday live music on te rooftop terrace until 11:30pm.

The location is perfect, the personal very kind and helpful. The room is very clean and feels new. The only possible downside is the music from the bar above but personally we did not mind it at all and it stops at 23h.

Beautiful rooms which were well air conditioned. The cleaner did a great job as Holbox is known for mud and sand!!

There aren’t any staff based in the hotel to help you but you can contact them on whatsapp
