Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Holbox

Everything, it’s so beautiful and quiet and peaceful. Loved our room with the plunge pool!

We loved our stay here. We had the plunge pool room and it was absolutely beautiful. We were welcomed with a refreshing drink upon arrival, the man behind the reception was so incredibly helpful, and the food at the restaurant was delicious.

The property is on the side of the island that is accessible only with the golf cars = taxis on the local island. It's a new property, carefully designed. The main building reminded me more of a city hotel than an island hotel. We had booked the rooms with the private pool and I wish we had a bit more privacy in our balcony/private pool. The room was spacious, the bed big and comfortable. We had to ask for a hair dryer from the reception but the rest of the bathroom amenities were provided (towels, shampoo and shower gel). The breakfast was tasty although it was lacking variety.

The staff were absolutely exceptional! Juan and Annie were so kind and consistently checking in on us. The room was clean and the staff evidently cared deeply about the property. We stayed in the plunge pool suite and the pool was deep cleaned every morning. We are often at the property because the food was wonderful, the horchata was the best on the island! We stayed for 5 days and the breakfast was on a perfect 3 day rotation, keeping it interesting and it was so fresh and tasty.

It was absolutely beautiful and the service was amazing! Was able to communicate with staff via WhatsApp at literally any time during my stay. The plunge pool upgrade was so worth it especially after staying out in the town until after pool hours and being. able to come back late and swim at any time. Would 1000x go back. We went for a little weekend getaway without our 3yo so it being adults only was extra peaceful.

Nice property with a great location! The staff was very attentive and helpful. Close to downtown (walking distance), good food, and great beach club. Beach if very private with few vendors. We had one issue upon arrival. Our room wasn't ready until almost one hour after check in even thought we could see that it was clean and empty. They need better communication between staff. I do not suggest the swim out rooms. The ocean view is blocked by the restaurant. I wish they would have designed it better. Overall, a great place to stay on Holbox. I would recommend.

We took a 5 day vacation to isla Holbox and stayed here. It was beautiful. The staff was very very nice and helpful with all of our requests if we had any. They gave us advice on where to eat, things to do and how to get there. The hotel itself was super clean and well kept. Our private pool was awesome. The only negative thing I would say is that we didn’t have hot water. It was warm/cold. But we had to take into account for being on an island and all the other people trying to shower and use hot water as well. Overall we will definitely be staying here again the next time we visit.

Our stay was overall excellent. We arrived very late, were greeted by name, quickly directed to the restaurant as we had not eaten anything & when we returned to finish checking in our bags were already taken to the room. The property is beautiful, staff is amazing, beach is incredible- just perfect. Convenient location to walk to town (5-10 min walk down the beach) or to Punta Coco the other way. Room was comfortable with great amenities. We had the Loft ocean view room and loved it- Special thanks to Leonardo & Miguel at the front desk, Gambino! Looking out for guests and his co-workers! Monserrat, Itzel, Fernando & Hector at the restaurant Uleses & Julian overseeing everything - Two negatives with misleading advertising descriptions: The "$150 resort credit" is a coupon book for things at the hotel like Spa services, bottles of wine, breakfast or dinner at $5 per. We expected $150 but were only able to received $25 value. The "Jr Suite Ocean Front Swim out" rooms: There is a dirt road that runs right in front between the these rooms (the main hotel) & the restaurant heading to the beach making the use of the little pool look unpleasant- LOTS of golf carts, motorcycles 4 wheelers etc (noise & Dust) The ocean is quite a ways away, so while you CAN see it, it's not the best view & it's NOT Ocean front. You'll get a better view from the higher rooms and going to the main pool! I would have been VERY upset if I booked this room (I considered it)

The staff at the hotel is very professional and helpful for anyone who is staying there. The location is bit in the center but it’s 8-10 minute walk away. Our room was cleaned twice and our plunge pool was cleaned daily. The hotel is right on the beach. The beachfront at the hotel is nice and clean with minimal seaweed. The water was nice and perfect. The food not just at the hotel but the entire island was less than mediocre. One of the nights for dinner we had pizza delivered to our room from the local restaurant. The pizza had a small chard of glass I bit into and we both got sick from the pizza itself. The sickness lasted well into the next night. I think the problem with the food on the entire island is to be eaten with caution but that’s for another review. Overall due to the effort of the staff and the cleanliness we would give this hotel 4/5 stars. Also pro tip- buy some alcohol at the airport because drinks on the entire island are just sugar water. You can top up from your own alcohol and at least make them a bit better.

The location is ideal, on a beautiful stretch of beach and 10 minute walk to town centre. If you are a pool person, the pool is small and mostly for just a cool dip, there are plenty beach chairs with umbrella coverage, to spend the day on the beach. We had a loft room, the roof top is a great place to stargaze. The rooms are comfortable, I found the pillows way too soft. All hotel staff are great, the restaurant is just ok, we preferred to breakfast at some of the many wonderful local places in town.

Very nice. Very private rooms. The private pool on extremely hot days is wonderful. The morning breakfast and rooftop sushi bar for pool are amazing

Excellent quiet beach location with many loungers/palapas! Short walk to the town. There is a Convenience store next to the resort/beach which is nice! Daily breakfast buffet had good variety. Highly recommend a room with a private pool! Staff was very friendly and helpful!

This was a last minute trip. Greatly satisfied with the hotel and staff. Very quant. Some rooms have a private pool which we took advantage of. The food was good. There was not live noisy entertainment which we appreciated. We would revisit this hotel again.

Very quiet and relaxing resort. Food was great with different international cuisines each night. Loved the personal pool with our room. Best place to stay if you are looking for slow pace and relaxing vibe.

We stayed 10 nights at this hotel and did the basic all inclusive ! Our room had a private pool which i really enjoyed. Small resort and perfect ! Food, staff and location is amazing !!!

The Naay is perfect for the traveller who wants to have a quiet and unhurried break and still have access to all the hustle of a fun, vibrant tourist town. The staff are friendly, accommodating and helpful. I would stay here again in the swim-out room!

An amazing, quiet and unique swim out room. And the staff was very helpful. The restaurant on sight had amazing food.

This is the hotel you have been looking for! It is in a quiet and more natural part of the island, the staff is incredibly welcoming and kind, the rooms are clean and spacious, and the sunsets here are breathtaking. While it may be a bit far from the city center, it is completely walkable (max 30 minutes and doable along the beach at low tide). You likely won't want to stay in the crowded and noisy center anyway. There is a nice beach behind the property but if you prefer a lazy day reading by the pool, the cabanas and lounge chairs are very comfortable and the wait staff will absolutely attend to filling your empty cup. Bike rentals are also possible if you book the day before and make getting across the island a bit easier. Lastly, the food at the hotel is delicious and made on-site - their breakfasts are simple and nutritious. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and will absolutely return, especially when needing to recharge. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

This boutique hotel really exceeded my expectations in many ways. It was appointed with brilliance in all of its design details, and the staff was extremely warm and friendly from check-in to check out. Personally, I would not mind staying there for a week or so if I would return. It’s extremely remote, however, and certainly not a walkable property in terms of their being no restaurants nearby that I’m personally aware of that you would want to walk to, but for those that just want to hang out on a gorgeous property and going out on boat adventures that pick you up from the beach in front of the hotel, it’s perfect. Town is a 10-15 minute drive away on the ATV taxis that dominate the island, but there were some restaurants closer by ~ 5 mins away My only criticism, as petty as it is, is that their playlist by the pool had wayyyy too much jimmy Buffett, as much as I like him. Highly recommended

The hotel design and construction is excellent. The pool is well designed and fun. If you like swimming in the ocean, the water there often has a strong current. The dinner menu is limited but the food good. However, people don't eat till late, so if you are eating around 7pm, you will be dining alone. The breakfast is tasty, but the service a little erratic and slow. Over all, the staff are very helpful and very friendly.

This is an Amazing place. The Staff truely go out of their way to please. Walkable distance from town. The beach is just a block away. The pool is nice and clean. Cute basic breakfast and good coffee. Our deck had a private dip pool. Quiet and peaceful. Bikes to use. 10/10.

Deluxe apartments is a beautiful little gem, nicely nestled away from the downtown, but within walkable distance. The host and staff are very personable, welcoming, speak English, and are diligent at making sure that your needs are met. They are very accommodating, and respond quickly when any question or concern is raised. The unit we were in was decently equipped, and staff responded positively and quickly when we pointed out a few omissions. The bed was very comfortable and the large balcony surrounded by greenery was a great place for our morning coffee or afternoon board games. There is good water pressure and plenty of hot water, and the air conditioning and ceiling fan, provide the perfect amount of climate control for the room. The pool area is a nice little oasis that is very well maintained, and remains nice and refreshing through the day thanks to an abundance of palms providing some shade from the hot afternoon sun. The included Continental Breakfast is standard fare, but a more elaborate breakfast is available for a fee. The complex is within walking/hiking distance to Punta Ciricote, Punta Coco, as well as the main beach leading to the amazing sand bars. Highly recommend this little gem if you want to be close to town, but want something more serene and quiet for the evening/nights.

We stayed here for part of the Thanksgiving holiday on the upper floor. Building is a big rectangle: 6 units over 3 floors. The top unit was great for us - panoramic view all over the island, easy access to roof deck area, tons of afternoon breeze, We also arranged airport pickup and transit to the place through them. Easy! There is a palapa on the beach belonging to them 5-7 minute down the road, essential for being able to enjoy the beach in the intense sun. Beach is fairly shallow. There is a beautiful, laid back breakfast/lunch place right on the way called Casa Del Mar. There is also a nice swimming pool on the property that was never crowded. Everything was well maintained, comfortable and pretty! It's about 10-15 easy minute walk into the center of town, super fun with bikes.

The apartment was lovely and staff were very friendly. Due to transportation, we arrived an hour before checkin, and they allowed us to use all the facilities including the pool until our room was available. Excellent communication throughout our stay.

Pros--Property is well priced. Location is about three walkable blocks to the beach. Fantastic A/C and excellent pool. Fairly large with great kitchen. Cons--They did NOT send email reminder to pay them 50% down 45 days in advance like they said they would. The 50% down is ONLY allowed by wiring funds to a Florida bank. My bank charged thirty dollars to send them one hundred fourteen! At the office they DIDN'T TAKE CREDIT CARDS as advertised--cash only. As we had booked shuttle/ferry/taxi through them it was a huge hit requiring us to pay VERY high ATM fees. Very hard to find loc to get keys (straight shot from dock less than a mile on the left) and we had to phone to get a person (dial # EXACTLY as listed on the door, i.e. DONT add 0 or 1's). NOTE: office is actually "Holbox Rents" and takes care of multiple properties. Lots of bugs flew/crawled in under huge space under the door to outside. Stuff a towel in the gap! TIP--book a bio-luminescent excursion immediately after getting off the ferry at the end of pier. This is an AMAZING experience!! Only twenty dollars a person for the five of us as opposed to a lot more in advance. Can also get whale and flamingo excursions for a great price. And DONT ride on the top of the ferry out to the island unless ocean is flat. You will get soaking wet with stinging salt water! Take lots of bug spray. Golf cart taxis only charge three or four dollars per trip (not per person) for anywhere on the island.

Staff go out of their way for you. The restaurant staff were always so friendly and tried helping with room service when my mum wasn't feeling well. The desk staff asked if there were any special occasions when we checked in and I mentioned it was my birthday the following week, I got a surprise cake on my last day there! Swimming pool lovely and different. Hotel next to the beach and walking distance to the bioluminescent areas.

Very pleasant stay. Spacious clean rooms with great facilities. Good breakfast, lunch and dinner. Swimming pool is great. Beach is right at the hotels doorstep. Friendly staff. Helpfull with everything.

Staff was friendly and eager to please. Location was great to see sunset, but quite far from city center. Pool is very nice.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Magical Birthday Getaway at Naay Boutique Hotel We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Naay Boutique Hotel in Holbox. Although we booked through Booking, which overpromised and overcharged for extras the hotel itself wasn’t even aware of, the Naay team went above and beyond to resolve everything. They were flexible, communicative, and took full responsibility, ensuring my husband and I could still enjoy a magical weekend for his birthday. The hotel itself exceeded our expectations: 🌅 Room View: Truly spectacular—waking up to that view was unforgettable. 🍴 Food: Very tasty and freshly prepared. 🤝 Staff: Friendly, attentive, and efficient—the kind of service that makes you feel cared for. 🌊 Location: Perfectly set away from the hustle and bustle of town, yet only a 5-minute walk to the bay with bioluminescent plankton. Because of this, we could experience the magic of the glowing water on our own, without a tour, and still had time for the three-island tour and whale shark excursion. Naay Boutique Hotel turned what could have been a stressful situation into a seamless, memorable celebration. Highly recommend this hidden gem if you’re looking for a place that values its guests and offers both tranquility and adventure.

This hotel was the best part of my entire vacation! The property is absolutely breathtaking. The staff are so helpful and patience. They will escort you to your room, show you how to use the amenities around the property and will assist in any way they can. The property is the last resort of that side of the island and it is so serene and picturesque. The breakfast was so fresh and delicious and I loved having the company of the iguanas running around (They wont bother you at all I promise)

The house and decor was beautiful. Very large 5 bedroom with a pool.

The Villa is a 15/20 minute walk from the centre so very quiet and peaceful. It is beautifully finished inside and the furniture and beds were of a high standard and very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, crockery and pans etc so cooking is an option. There is very effective air condition throughout the villa which was blissful during the day and at night. The pool is just right for keeping cool and was very clean. I particularly loved the top bedroom which had the most amazing views and I could lie in bed and watch the sunrise and from the area outside of that room I could watch the sunset. There is a great beach 3 minutes away and many places to eat within a short walk. We were a family of 6 and travelled with our two year old grandson and it was perfect for us. Would definitely highly recommend it.

A really stunning villa with beautiful ensuite bedrooms and a nice outside area.

We spent a week at this property. Unfortunately rained most of the days there, but in general the property is well located and safe. This property is closer to Playa Cocos and a good walk to the main city (15-20 mins walk). It is about an hour walking to Playa Mosquito. The property is rustic (plain and simple). No major amenities, except a pool in the middle of the property, and a tiki bar that it is open throughout the day until after sunset, where you can get drinks while at the beach. Front desk personnel were very informative, and helpful providing details about the area, the property, and the island in general. Our special thanks to Francisco, who was in charge of the breakfast area every single day, and to Manuel, who covered for him while he was on days off. Both guys are super. Breakfast choices very good, and delicious. We noticed that portions were a bit small, and no option to ask for more. All very much measured. Property is beachfront, but the "ocean view rooms" have limited view of the beach, and not a full clear view as other properties do have. Expect to see a couple of iguanas wondering around as part of the island/beach life. In general, a good place to stay.

Wir hatten einen fabelhaften Aufenthalt hier (4 Nächte). Der Strand mit eigenen Liegen war algenfrei und sehr gepflegt (auch Bioluminiszenz sieht man im Dunkeln). Erst haben wir das als normal empfunden, aber als wir nach rechts und links mal spaziert sind, sah das bei den anderen ganz anders aus. Die Lage war für uns perfekt. In ca 20Min zu Fuß ist man in der Innenstadt (inkl. lauten Golfcarts; vielen Touristen; Bars mit lauter Musik, sodass man sein eigenes Wort nicht versteht) - wenn man mal mehr Action haben will. Die Bar an „unserem“ Strand hat uns gut gefallen: die Cocktails waren lecker und das Essen super. Deutlich besser als in den umliegenden Hotels (und preislich auch viel besser). Die Klimaanlage war (endlich mal) sehr leise. Das Frühstück ist a la carte (mal wählt aus ca 10 Gerichten) und alles hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt. Wir können das Hotel nur empfehlen.

Great hotel ! Very quiet and relaxing place to stay. Was located on one of the nicest stretches of beach that I saw. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There are a few great options for food very close by. The hotel restaurant on the beach did a great job as well. Delicious margaritas that were 2 for 1 all day :) I would definitely stay here again. It is a bit far from town, about a 20 minute walk or a 200 pesos cab ride. Really difficult to walk the beach into town because some of the hotels are built to the waters edge. I did enjoy being away from the crowds.

Fantastic stay at Puerta Azul in Holbox. Accomodation is located directly at the sea and has its own beach bar with plenty of beds to enjoy the sun. The accomodation is very beautiful with spacious and super clean rooms. Staff was very friendly and accomodating at all time. Great breakfast too! This accomodation is located about 15-20 min by foot from the center, which makes for a nice walk along the beach. It’s also possible to go by taxi cart at 3-4usd.

Un tres bon hotel au bord de la plage, éloigné du tumulte des bars/restaurants/hotel bord de plage de la ville, donc tres calme et c’est rien. Personnels souriants, accueillants et plaisants. Nous avons adoré le « ceviche imperial » du restaurant. Le restaurant fermait à 20h sur notre période. A savoir pour prévoir votre soirée (d’autres fermaient à 19h). Prévoir de l’anti moustique, car l’ile en est infestée. Merci pour ce beau petit séjour. Je recommande.

Check in was super easy, You get instructions the day of your arrival. My room was very clean & very nicely decorated just like the pictures here on Booking.com . The room had a coffee maker, fridge, cups & wine glasses (nice touch if you drink wine ) The courtyard was very peaceful & Green with palm trees & a pool that is perfect to sit in after a day of adventure & sun … As well as an outdoor shower & Chairs to sit down and relax next to the pool. I would definitely stay here again when I visit Holbox next year 2026. Highly Recommend!

Madre Holbox is a beautiful design gem on the main street in Isla Holbox. The hotel is new and truly gorgeous. It comes with a nice patio and swimming pool which is shared between the 7 or 8 rooms. The only thing worth mentioning is that there is no daily cleaning service. I would definitely recommend to other travellers!

Centrally located. Property and rooms were pristine at all times. Self check in was easy. Property manger was easy to communicate with. Beautiful courtyard with modern decor and clean pool. We wil definitely book again the next time we visit Holbox!

Best value for money in Holbox. Well designed rooms and very good size too. Pool is nice but doesn’t get the sun… however I have to give it a 10 due to the value for what you get.

Amazing apartment to enjoy this magical place. Perfectly situated, so close to the beach and restaurants. Clean, calm, cozy, cute pool in the shade, outside showers to clean after a walk in sand, we’ve been so happy there

This place is an absolute gem. We had a studio with balcony and would very be happy to return! Studio looked even better than in the pics - it was spacious, had super comfy bed, loads of pillows and cushions. Internet was fast, shower pressure strong (with hot water), and the apartment was cleaned everyday. Smart TV and kitchenette were very useful. Kitchen was well equipped and even had filter coffee machine and coffee/tea/sugar provided (however no kettle?). The hotel also provides free water which is great. Location wise it was also very good - less than 10min walk to the ferry, so no need to get taxi. Less than 5min walk to the main beach and town square that is filled with street food in the evenings. Their little online guide was also very useful to us. Over all, it was our favourite stay on this trip to Mexico. We fell in love with Holbox and hoping to come back soon, and will definitely stay at Aurora again.

The staff are absolutely incredible and make it feel as the lost personalized stay. Even before your arrival, they are in contact to ensure you are ready for your stay and provide all the details on how to get there. Was there, they provide a full lowdown on what to do in the areas and different restaurants for different occasions. They truly have gone above and beyond to make your stay as personalized as possible. As for the actual room, the hotel is new and beautifully decorated. It is situated in the heart of town which is ideal to walk either to the ferry or to the beach. Beach bags (including towels) are provided by the hotel to enjoy as well. Couldn’t recommend Aurora enough!

Excellent location. So close to the main square and all the restaurants so i could come back to the hotel whenever i needed something and it was just a very short walk! Its a beautiful hotel and the staff keep it very clean. It only has about 7 rooms i believe which is nice as its quieter! You need a code to get in the main door so i felt safer because of that especially because i was alone the first day. Overall very happy with the place and staff:) they also give you a link with a bunch of restaurant recommendations and activities etc which was great and i tried quite a few of them and they were all great recommendations!

Very good hotel! The hostess immediately after booking contacted me via whatsapp and sent all the necessary information. On the spot, we were welcomed very warmly by both Vanessa and the cat Tora 😊 The room was great - very nice and well thought out. The bed was comfortable. In addition, guests have at their disposal a basket/shoulder bag with a towel, with which you can go to the beach. Drinking water and tea or coffee are available without limits. Internet works fine. In a word, a great place with a good atmosphere.

The location was perfect! In a really quiet road but still 5 minute walk from the city centre and the beach. The hotel was brand new and the room was beyond beautiful. Everyday we found the room cleaned and perfect. They also provide you a cute beach bag with beach towels, they changed them everyday. The staff was very kind and helpful with every question and needs. Last but not least, we loved their Cat, Tora 😍 I can’t wait to be back in Isla Holbox one day!

This hotel is an amazing find. It was everything we wanted and more! The room is large and seemed freshly renovated (powerful AC, TV, reliable bathroom). The amenities are great, especially the pool and swim up bar, as well as the restaurant that provided many tasty options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel staff is amazing and helpful. The location is perfect, at the end of a long strip of hotels so you get less traffic and it feels less touristy. Town center is just 15 minutes away. The bioluminescence tour they arranged for us was fun. Would 100% recommend and go back!

This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. The beach area is definitely the nicest part of Holbox. The restaurant is also one of the best. The Food was out of this world. The room felt luxurious and incredibly comfortable. We loved the pool as well with the swim up bar. The photos on their website simply don't do this place justice. We will definitely be back.

WOW! This is quite simply the best hotel we've ever stayed at. We were fortunate enough to get a free upgrade after we let the property know we were celebrating our recent engagement and the room was incredible, enormous space, huge comfortable bed, giant balcony with whirlpool bath, plus welcome gifts and a sweet treat left in our room every night. The beach club is fantastic, never a rush on or lack of sunbeds, the staff are incredibly attentive and go above and beyond in catering to whatever wants or needs you may have. The pool is wonderful and a great place to cool off in the afternoon heat, the swim up bar is fantastic and the cocktails are incredible, and fairly priced relative to the rest of the island. The breakfast menu is extensive and delicious, and we also ate at the restaurant on our final night which was the best meal we had on the island. We also ended up opting to pay for a transfer back to Cancun airport through the hotel, which was a seamless and calm experience compared to sorting taxis/ferry/ADO ourselves. Huge thanks to all the staff for honestly making this the trip of a lifetime for us, we'll certainly be coming back!

Excellent hotel. We stayed for 5 days for our honeymoon and were properly pampered. Amazing freshly cooked breakfasts on a balcony overlooking the beach, cocktails in the swim up bar (all made with fresh fruit and homemade syrups), and incredibly comfortable beds - the pillows are better than ours at home! The beach is far cleaner than some of the other hotels on the ideal, with very little seaweed. It's also in a great location, halfway between the town and the walk to Punta Mosquito, so it's really quiet. All the staff are fantastic, so kind and friendly and all speak wonderful English. The walk to town is about 15 minutes down the beach, or a taxi is about 5 minutes (150 pesos). We had a really excellent time.

The room was very spacious, at times it almost felt like it didn't need to be so big. The staff at the hotel restaurant were beyond helpful and made us feel welcome and appreciated throughout our stay. The food delicious, the drinks immaculate and the atmosphere sublime. The location is perfect for relaxing at the beach or at the pool, plus the staff are very eager to assist with any sort of transportation or sightseeing activities you might want to do on or around the island. Just make sure to get loads of mosquito spray, as it can be a literal bloodbath at times. We especially loved the diverse wildlife this hotel was surrounded by, like for example iguanas, sunbathing on the restaurant roof, Mexican eagles nesting on the watchtower nextdoor, fish, turtles and stingrays just off the hotel beach etc. Amazing for animal lovers!

A true "boutique" hotel experience. Excellent service from Hector, Juan, Fito and others. The resort is not too big, but also not too small. They had pool bar service every day. The very small outdoor kitchen at the pool bar also created some wonderful meals (not just breakfast). We loved our upstairs room with deck. Unlike many hotels in Holbox, this one does not have outsider traffic trudging thru the hotel common areas. It is cozy and tropical, with two pools. We visited the other hotels we were looking at, and we were very happy we selected Para Ti.

Hotel Para Ti was amazing. The beautiful grounds and vegetation were stunning, the pool was exceptional, room was clean and spacious, and the service was so great! Easy walk to the beach. Amazing breakfast! Adults only is great!…no kids screaming, very chill and relaxing! Juan and Adolfo were great at getting everyone delicious drinks poolside, and Hector was awesome at making us feel welcome and arranging our early morning transportation that worked out so nicely to get us back to the Cancún Airport! We very much enjoyed our stay here and hope to be back soon!

Super cute and cosy hotel. Good size pools (2 pools!) Delicious breakfast, super attentive, friendly and personal staff. Always smiling and greeting you. They also helped us arrange transfers from cancun to hotel and back to airport - which was really convenient! really good location only 2 blocks away from beach and 3 blocks away from centre. Lots of shops and restaurants within few minutes walk

Absolutely incredible place, rooms were beautiful and spacious. Breakfast was 10/10. The pool was so tranquil and relaxing, there was always a pool bed available. Sandra was a fantastic host, we were so looked after. We would recommend this to anyone staying in Holbox, the best hotel on the island!

I really enjoyed staying there. Facilities super clean, staff is very welcoming. Great initiative on their part, there’s a water dispenser so that you don’t use plastic water bottles ! The hotel is about 5 min walk from the beach, 5 min walk from town central. It is quiet, you dont hear the noise from central town. Nice big room. Had the deluxe King on ground floor, view over the pool and there was a bonus… a nice little cat comes and visits you. :) Pool is super clean. I recommend this place and will be returning.

We absolutely loved our stay on Holbox and this small hotel was just perfect. It is at the quieter end of the beach - and the much nicer end- with the rooms just a few steps away from the beach with private sunbeds and hammocks, a stones throw from the beautiful water. We had rooms 8 and 9 overlooking the pool and the sea, on the first floor. Again, perfect for us (children sometimes splashing in the pool below but never a problem and it is such a small hotel it may only have been a couple of children when we were getting ready in the evening so no big deal). Rooms were so comfortable with free water provided and a nespresso machine. The breakfast each morning was delicious and could be delivered anywhere - we mainly had it in the lovely beachside restaurant. There aren’t masses of fscilities but who needs them when you have the gorgeous sea on your doorstep! The hotel did have some kayaks I think but we didn’t use them. It was about 10-15 min walk along the beach to centre of holbox. For us this was a high light each evening - to walk along in the sunset and find a bar for a cocktail before dinner. There are also little gold carts availabile in their masses if you need a lift! Overall it was paradise and I would highly recommend a stay here!

We stayed with our teenage son in the Superior Studio and it was perfect! The patio with table and chairs, built-in sofa and hammock was such a fun hang spot right near the beautiful pool and 75 steps to the beach. The location on the beach seems to gather the least amount of sargassum as it is situated behind a sand key. They have really nice shade palapas and maintain the beach beautifully. The whole property is so colorful and quaint with tropical trees and plants and feels like a family run hotelito. The food is prepared in a traditional open kitchen and everything is delicious. The breakfast and service was amazing and you can choose from a huge selection every morning. Its nice because its only for guests of the hotel so it never feels overrun. You can order from the bar/restaurant all day and night. Excellent service. Augustin went out of his way for us! The rooms are very clean and impeccably maintained daily. Oh! And Very comfortable beds.

Staying here was one of our holiday highlights! I couldn’t decide where to stay in Holbox as there is so much choice and price ranges but this hotel was excellent and exceeded our expectations. Firstly the location is great - right on a beautiful part of beach, lovely sand and water. it was a 15 mins walk along the beach to town. we would walk into town for dinner and get a taxi back. Taxi was always $150. There is a lovely hotel beach bar where we would have breakfast, lunch and cocktails. The food is excellent. The room was extremely comfortable and spacious. Great shower. Lovely hotel pool too if you didn’t want to swim in the sea. we had 3 nights here and completely relaxed and switched off, after a busy 12 night tour of the Yucutan Peninsula. I highly recommend this hotel

Everything. Our room was comfy and roomy. Love the little touches. The balcony was lovely to enjoy breakfast on. Great shower and the bed was so comfy! The staff were so friendly and helpful, you could just text them and they bring you drinks/food wherever you were. The pool was great and so refreshing! Just the most fabulous hotel, we were so sad to leave! It was a great location because the beach was beautiful and it was a nice 15 minute walk to the main town. We couldn’t recommend this hotel enough!

We enjoyed our peaceful stay with you. Our room was spotless and the beds were so comfortable. Breakfast every morning was so delicious and the staff was very kind. Loved the fresh fruit, eggs and cheese quesadillas! The grounds are beautiful and the staff really takes care of every part of the property. Loved the clean swimming pool and beach access across the little path. Oh and LOVED the hammock on out porch. So peaceful to sway and listen to the ocean. We would definitely stay again. Favorite restaurant in town as Luuma!

Absolutely stunning room - spotlessly clean and huge bed. Nice big balcony and felt private. Pool area was a bonus and great location a few minutes walk from the beach and all restaurants / bars / shops.

Fantastic hotel. We looked at many hotels and were very happy with our choice at Tierra Del Mar. It is truly 1-2 blocks from the beach and near EVERYTHING. Even the bike rental was right around the corner. The pool is wonderful! There’s nothing like coming home after a day in the beach and jumping in the pool. The hotel is very peaceful and tranquil and clean. The staff is so friendly and available but not over bearing. The rooms are a very good size and the bed was so comfy. Very large closet area and they provide many hangers which is very appreciated. We slept so comfortably every night and had no problems with any noise whatsoever. You can hear some music from down the street but they stop at about midnight. We actually enjoyed hearing some life outside. But by no means did it bother us at all. We were so pleasantly tired from the sun and beach all day that we slept like babies.

This is a 10/10 (which is very rare from my personal experience). We always came back to our little oasis of peace and relaxation. It’s a family run small boutique hotel, with very good and personal service and just a few rooms. The room, the hotel and especially the pool area are fantastic, in terms of comfort and design with a lot of small tasteful details. It felt like home even if we stayed there just 2 nights. Would stay here every time again! The only thing we missed was a selection of Drinks or a small Bar e.g. with Water, Coffee, Smoothies etc. which would have been nice when you spend the day at the pool. As they do not offer any drinks or food (Breakfast is in cooperation with a Beach Hotel nearby). But overall this didn’t had a big impact having a great time there.

Having recently spent 9 nights at this lovely small hotel I can clearly see why it is so highly rated. Before we even arrived I had spoken with Isra and Arturo, both gave excellent information, advice and helped book private transfers from Cancun Airport which with their help ran very smoothly, through constant communication, which was gladly appreciated. Once we arrived we were swiftly checked in and shown the room/suite that we had booked . The hotel has 9 rooms (4 balcony / 4 ground floor and 1 suite ) . Our room had the luxury of the outside area that was quite private, and outside shower, sink area and day bed along with shaded area with a small sofa and hammock to wind down in at the end of the day. Bedroom was tastefully done and kept clean daily with sheets and towels changed every other day. Air con was essential as the weather although beautiful was humid , so walking into a cool room was always appreciated. The buildings and the gardens are tastefully done. The ground which surround the buildings is kept extremely clean and raked daily to give a great feel the place. Swimming pool was a great size to walk into to cool down. Both Isra and Arturo were helpful with anything we wanted/needed. We couldn’t have asked for better hotel mangers. Local knowledge / tours, restaurants and bars. What ever we asked for they always provided us with info. We wanted a relaxing holiday we got just that! Than you Tierra del Mar

Tierra Del Mar was both magical and memorable! It is authentic to the photos represented online. Stepping through the gate I felt like I had been transported back to Bali. The zen Balinese, minimalist, natural decor elements was so calming! Loved the care to attention in meeting all your needs ie- blackout curtains, access to fresh filtered water, clothesline, a safe, lounge/pool areas and having access to Isra the hotel manager extraordinaire! He provided us with information of Holbox and made and timed our arrangements for travel back to Cancun so we could make a daytrip to Isla Mujeres. He was always very welcoming, friendly, kind and helpful as was the other staff! Loved how they raked the sand like Japanese temple grounds!!! A true gem on this magical island of Holbox! Would highly recommend this “five star” hotel (three star doesn’t reflect what it really is!)

Overall wonderful experience. The staff were so lovely and helpful. They kept the grounds in pristine condition at all times, we’re so friendly any time we asked for recommendations or assistance, and were really thoughtful and sweet people! Amazing service. The pool was almost never used as the beach is steps away and so clear and warm. The few times we did enjoy the pool, it was clean and refreshing, with a shower just beside to rinse before and after. The yoga area on the third floor of the main building was a secret surprise! What a perfect place to watch the sun rise and relax.

So many reasons why you should stay at this property. Let's start with the hospitality, the staff is warm, welcoming and extremely helpful. The breakfast is simple but made from scratch, excellent quality and a wonderful offering of American, Canadian and Mexican dishes that will satisfy all guests. Coffee in rooms for early risers like us. Very clean facilities that get a daily servicing. Towels are always fresh. Pool is refreshing and kept sparkling clean by the staff. The property is at the northeastern edge of town not in the middle of all of the town action. A very short distance from Punta Mosquito. Because it's not in the middle of town it doesn't have the noise that I would imagine they have in town. There are several good restaurants nearby that the manager can recommend. He will also recommend a couple in town. Cab ride into town was ~150 pesos or a 15-20 minute walk. We stayed here 7 nights and enjoyed every one of them.

The hotel is well kept, great rooms and very nice pool (though k didn’t use it). Breakfast is great - coffee, granola, fruits, eggs and bread. It’s not fancy, but. If you want a fancy one, with espresso coffee et , you can always go to any of the restaurants nearby. The staff is absolutely great. They were super kind. I got stuck on the island as the harbor was closed due to weather conditions, they helped me find out when it is open, ordered taxi etc. but more than that it was just a pleasure to speak with the manager and staff.

The staff was incredible. Felt like family, only took better care of us. Julio and ladies and the owner were always anticipating our needs and wants. Great yoga deck, super clean pool. Lots of good coffee and breakfast every day. Handled taxis for us and had a massage up on the deck .Super access to the great east end retaurants beach and sand bar. Great value. You wont be disappointed!

Staff were amazing, always friendly, and helpful. Rooms were just perfect, we had bathtub and amazing balcony with chairs and swings. Perfect romantic spot for couples. 2 mins from the beach and 15 mins walk to town. (Get some bikes) Sandbar was just in front of Hotel which is available to walk out to the point daily. Pool was refreshing. Couldn't fault this place.

Located in a quiet street just a few blocks from the ferry and only five or six from the beachfront. Check-in was quick, efficient and friendly although be aware that you will be required to leave a credit card number to cover any damage done. Davide spoke good English and explained this policy clearly. Note that reception is not 24 hour so check if you arrive at off hours. Rooms are spotlessly clean, the bed is firm but very comfortable with excellent pillows. A/C was quiet as was the ceiling fan. Rainwater showerhead has a water heater if you need hot water. It takes a while to warm up but works well. Not that you generally want hot water! A small fridge and sink allows you to buy and keep cool a few things from the stores. Like, oh say, beer maybe? There is a very small pool suitable for cooling down but not swimming and an outdoor shower for rinsing off. There are four or five tables with chairs around the pool area. Perhaps best of all, it is quiet at night so you can enjoy the lively nightlife downtown without having to give up your beauty sleep so you can look your best for the beach in the mornings.

The property was fantastic, very nice and clean with a cool pool area to chill out in with deck chairs / sun umbrellas. There were also nice plants and other tables / chairs around the pool. The room was well sized and decorated nicely with useful additions such as a fridge, ironing board and plenty of mirrors. David (FoH) was welcoming and friendly, gave us a useful introduction to the property and local area and he was happy to help with any of our queries. The location was excellent, allowing for a 10 minute walk to the beach and plenty of the best bars, cafes and restaurants within 5 minutes, whilst still being peaceful. Edwin the cleaner did a fantastic job and was always smiling.

Nice spacious room, nice pool area, good WiFi in room and by pool, friendly and helpful staff. Great location - 5 minute walk to ferry and to the town / beach. Far enough away that you don't get all the noise from the town. Good air con.

Perfect location, less than 5 minutes from ferry and about 7 minutes to walk to the beach. Totally quiet at nights but totally walking distance to everywhere. Rooms are simple but clean and lovely. No bugs, one pathetic fly in my room during my whole stay. Nice little fridge to keep your snacks and drinks cold. The water pressure in shower was awesome. Loved the big mirror on bathroom door. Pool is lovely. Not huge, but so nice to cool down after a hot day. Lots of chairs and tables in the garden (considering that hotel has 10 rooms), so you can hang out and watch hummingbirds. Staff is friendly and my favourite was Oreo, the official hotel mascot (cat). He keeps you company and the softest meow ever. Such a chill little dude. If I'll go back to Holbox, I'll book this hotel again for sure.

Wow, we loved this hotel. The location is perfect, 5 minute walk from the port and 10 minute walk to the main square. The rooms are beautiful with minimal modern decor. They have a kettle and a fridge in the room which is so handy. The AC is perfect and essential in the heat of Holbox and also having the option of the pool was great. The domestic staff ensure the room is spotlessly clean everyday which we really appreciated. The staff were very welcoming, so much so that we stayed an extra night!

We had a wonderful experience at Beachfront La Palapa. The best part was the location. It is so conveniently located - steps from the heart of town but also directly on a stunning beach. Some of the other hotels we considered, but passed on, ended up being so far away from town, which would have been hugely disappointing. Beachfront La Palapa was the best balance of any hotel. However, it was also surprisingly quiet, I could not hear the pumping music from the bars at night in the room. The room had excellent AC and was very clean. It can be hard to judge from online photos, but it was also very nicely decorated and beach-y inside - great ambiance. We also felt extremely safe. The hotel restaurant was delicious and had incredible views. We especially enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and grabbing a drink to watch the sunset every night. The staff was very friendly and the towels are free for hotel guests. I would've enjoyed a pool, but that definitely was not a deal breaker for us, as we spent the entire day at the beach. I would absolutely stay here again!

this hotel is right on the beach and its lovely. Its small and the staff is very friendly. The restaurant and drinks are great! A pool would have been nice, but there just isn't room is such a small hotel - and the beach is so convenient and the water is calm, so its not a problem!

Small, prívate, quite place with excellent access to beach. No swimming pool. Small restaurant and bar at the property with excellent menu and service. Very enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Being this my 5th time at Holbox, I didn’t hesitate to book her once again. And once again , LaPalapa de not disappointed. Rooms always clean and with working AC. Friendly staff which is always eager to help. The only “bad” thing that happened on this trip, was not the hotels fault. It was Mother Nature, a sea of sargasso had come up to the hotels beachfront, and it was terrible, it was so bad , that we could not even go into the water, even less stay sunbathing on the lounge chairs because the smell was unbearable. And this was the very first time I’ve seen this on all my trips to LaPalapa. It wasn’t helping having breakfast either because the stench was really bad. I don’t know how the beach is today, but in May, it was incredibly bad. Luckily for us, Holbox has miles of beaches to enjoy. We when towards punta mosquito , but the situation was similar, just head towards punta cocos, those beaches were in better conditions. Remember, all beaches are public here. Other than that, I would still highly recommend Hotel LaPalapa! I always come in the end of May , and there ain’t too much tourists, you have the island basically to yourself. Enjoy.

We absolutely loved our stay at La Palapa. Everyone from the staff was really nice and welcoming - from front desk to the beach bar and the housekeeping crew. We loved having our breakfast at the beach bar terrace. They offered great variety - from local to European, and from sweet to savory - that will satisfy anyone's expectations. Huge THANKS to the beach bar staff who were super friendly to us... and made great cocktails! Our room was spacious with just the right amount of amenities to make your stay comfortable. Beds were super comfy. The beach in front of the hotel is larger than I expected, with natural shadows from the palm trees but also with a good amount of sunny spots for the enthusiasts. The whole property is really well taken care of. We were amazed! We didn't experience any issues with the WiFi connectivity during our 6-day stay. Let me tell you. After having been out and about on the island, if I ever have the chance to go back to Holbox, I will not hesitate a second and book me a room at La Palapa.

We stayed 7 nights at Hotel Siesta Holbox. We enjoyed the location because it is very near the town square, but still relatively quiet. The walk to the beach is only 2 blocks. The staff was absolutely wonderful, very helpful with local knowledge and excellent English. The nightly rate includes a really nice breakfast each morning. The beach club (also included in the nightly rate) is terrific too. Very well equipped with lots of lounging options, and plenty of staff to attend to your every need. I highly recommend the hotel. One clarification though, there is no pool. One of the reviewers talked about a pool, but the hotel does not have a pool.

One of our absolute favorite places on our trip. The staff is super friendly and there is no lack of relaxing areas. 2pools and a tub in the super nice courtyard and a pool and two tubs on the roof with a bar. Big comfy Towles were given at the reception for use poolside. Really nice breakfast with fresh fruit and many choices from an omelet to yogurt and granola. Did I mention the bosa nova guitar tunes from a friendly guitarist? Rooms were clean and bed super comfy with a big shower.

The design of the hall and the gardens and swimming pool was very nice.

Hotel was clean and front desk ladies were amazing and very helpful. The breakfast (off site) was very good with lots of choices. The location was good however I don’t think I would book this hotel again for a couple of reasons; 1. Room was very small. 2. Prefer having a pool. 3. No sitting area outside our room. 4. No amenities in the hotel. 5. No fridge in the room.

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Siesta Holbox. It is conveniently located two blocks away from El Centro, two blocks away from the beach, and two blocks away from Hot Corner (the central party spot of the island). It's next to everything, and the staff is superb! Martha, Jhoana, and Nelly were amazingly accommodating to everything and anything I needed. You will be paying for your stay upon check-in. Call your credit card company before traveling so they don't block your card. Cash rules! Carry plenty of it. Upon arrival, you'll receive a cold water bottle and a towel to wipe the travel journey off your forehead. You'll also get a bracelet for breakfast (included) at the restaurant Las Hamacas, located at the Villa Caracol Hotel, and you will have access to areas of that hotel. Ask for the shuttle to Las Hamacas 15mins before. That's how long it takes for one of the guys to drive over to get you. You will get a beach bag for your stay and a card for a beach towel which you can exchange for a clean one. There are bikes on the premises. I did not rent one, so I don't know the rental fee. The room is big and beautifully decorated. The bed is heavenly and comfortable. Your room will be cleaned daily, tip. There is a Smart TV. The lighting is low, so consider packing a ring light as I did. Ask them to wash your clothes before your departure. The fee varies depending on your load. It's worth it! Download WhatsApp because all your communication will be through there.

We loved the breakfast of warm bread, handmade granola, yogurt, and handmade jam. We could cook anything we wanted in our ample kitchen, but really just used it for coffee and cocktails. We loved that there was a purified water tap instead of those big plastic jugs. We stayed in the penthouse suite which was amazing. The pictures online don’t do it justice. You feel like you’re living in a treehouse with an ocean view. I spent early mornings having coffee in the hammock enjoying the view and birds. The space is huge and modern looking with gorgeous, hand crafted furniture. There were small touches that made it extra special like a beach bag to use to go to the beach, a cooler that they will fill with ice for you to take down to the beach for your cold drinks, bathrobes, and artisanal, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and soap. Our beach had shade palapas and very comfortable padded loungers spaced far apart for a little privacy. The hotel is in the perfect location for us. It is a leisurely 12 minute walk from town and is in a quiet location free from loud music from beach clubs. The sunset right out front was amazing every night that we were there. We rented bikes and drove around entire island from one end to the other, and did not see anything that we would have preferred.

Very spacious and bright apartments with a great ocean view, located in a quiet area about a 15-minute walk from the island’s center and main beach. Well-equipped kitchen with a small fridge. Comfortable bed. The property is very well maintained, with private sun loungers on the beach. The host is very friendly and helpful. Good fresh breakfasts are served at a beach café about 300 meters away along the shore. The island has a reliable taxi service, and the ferry–hotel ride costs only 150 pesos. The apartment is on the 3rd floor, which is great for avoiding mosquitoes — there are lots of them on the island.

We had a wonderful time at Casa Takywara. The hotel is great to suit a very quiet time away, it’s at the part of the beach away from most things but is a short distance to the hustle and bustle of the town. The reception staff were very accommodating with helping with extra amenities and activities such as cocktails and ordering breakfast (which was quite average but very convenient) and helped with organising massages in the room. Overall we had a wonderful stay and highly recommend the penthouse apartment, it’s very large and is so beautifully furnished. It felt like home after 9 days!

I loved that it was set back from the beach and had a jungle feel to it. The fresh fruit and bread breakfast left for us each morning was a highlight to the stay. We loved sitting at our table and chatting before jumping into the day. There was coffee and a coffee maker in the room. They delivered milk with our breakfast to use. Some might not like that there is no WiFi but it helped me disconnect from home in a positive way. We did have cell service though sometimes spotty. The Agua Room was lovely.

Great breakfast brought to your door at 8.30-9.30 each morning. Beautiful views. Friendly staff. Amazing decor inside the room (we booked the penthouse) the sounds and views were just beautiful. There is a little cat called Luna and she said hello to us a few times and she was very cute. I went with my partner (also female) and no issues experienced from an LGBT perspective which was nice. The stay was part of our Honeymoon and our parents had arranged for champagne in our room via the hotel which was a lovely touch.
