Lovely boutique hotel to escape from it all. We enjoyed our first trip to Holbox. I do wish the hotel offered a happy hour or had a small hotel bar for guests. Alberto is a wonderful host and ensures your stay is perfect.

Property was very pretty, very close to beautiful Punta Cocos. Staff was excellent and very charming. About 30 min outside of town altho very easy to walk or take taxi. Beware there will be puddles if taking taxi, just a special part of Holbox.

El Nido is a lovely boutique hotel in Holbox, away from the hustle and bustle of the island. The pool is lovely and the hotel has a really nice decor, with spacious rooms. I really enjoyed the quietness of the place, especially in the evenings! One thing to flag is that is a bit away from the centre of the island, so you either have to walk or take taxis (around 200 pesos per taxi) which is a bit inconvenient at times. The closest beach is 5 minutes away at Punta Coco however if you want to go to other beaches, is a bit of a walk

A gem!

Decided to splurge and stay for two nights at El Nido. It was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. It is in a very quiet spot (we did have to traverse a few big puddles to get there after the big flood the week before) but soooooo worth it. Although off the beaten path there were some accessible restaraunts a short walk up the beach. Breakfast was tasty, staff friendly, drinks from the bar good! Overall would highly recommend! Was the highlight of our trip to Mexico. Will dream of our return one day!

The hotel itself was very quiet and well appointed. Large rooms and everything worked well. Staff was lovely and breakfast was very nice. I tend to get up early the staff brought me coffee before the 8am breakfast time. Only real disappointed was the golf cart rental. We rented a golf cart for several days and the hotel charged much more for it than if we rented directly. We also asked if we could rent on for less than a 24 hour period. We were told that was the min time...found out we could have rented for a shorter time period.

We booked a balcony room, but upon initially seeing it we felt it lacked some basic hotel amenities I would expect for the price, including a full length mirror, fridge and desk w/chair. The staff were great at relocating us to a patio room that had the above amenities (except the fridge). We unfortunately arrived to rain storms, and Holbox isn’t well equipped for this type of weather. Nearly every road in the town flooded making travel around the island very difficult and expensive. El Nido is around a 25min walk into the centre of town but with the flooding, the walk was much more difficult and taxis were reluctant/refused to take us to and from the hotel. Another qualm was the food. Whilst breakfast was good, we had lunch there. We felt it was below average and very expensive for what it was. We previously ate at Nomad (a 15min walk) where the food was far superior and more affordable. My final issue is with their payment facilities, they only accepted cash, whilst Holbox has a reputation for cash only, we actually found that every other restaurant or beach club we visited accepted cards. The cash only policy is out-dated. The review might sound harsh, but let me assure you that every other element of our stay was great. The staff were helpful and kind, the rooms cleanliness was spotless and pool facilities were great. We also appreciated the quietness and privacy of our room. A couple improvements could make El Nido an exceptional stay.

Clean but basic and lacks a central location

If you don't want to be near the centre, this is perfect. The manager is exceptional - and works long hours (but there isn't a permanently manned reception, so service may not be available promptly). Rooms are basic - no fridge, would have liked a filtered water dispenser in the hotel and I had to move to have a room with a desk and chair (not all have them). I can't fault the service or cleanliness. You can see the sea - on the horizon, between buildings- but it isn't on the beach.

Hôtel sympathique mais éloigné du centre.

Style très moderne, un peu dommage pour le lieu et prix un peu élevé au vu de la localisation. Par contre rien à redire sur les infrastructures ou le service, même si nous ne sommes pas sûr que l’établissement vieillisse bien. Petit déjeuner léger et diététique

Not a 4* hotel, lower your expectations

The hotel is very basic and I am not sure how they reached their 4* rating. Basic amenities (fridge, water) were missing from the room and reception shuts well before the last ferry to the island. Almost nothing is included in the hotel price and bikes, breakfast etc. cost extra despite being listed as included. Their marketing is very good but for half the price you can stay at a better hotel in the same part of the island.

Este hotel es un oasis de tranquilidad y está a unos pasos de una playa paradisiaca. La atención del personal es cálida, las habitaciones sencillas pero modernas, ideales para desconectarte. El hotel ofrece un desayuno de cortesía (café, fruta, galletas) que puede complementarse con opciones a la carta, todo muy rico!. Está lejos del centro de Holbox, pero a distancia caminable hay una pizzeria deliciosa y tienda de conveniencia. Súper recomendable!

The hotel is a tranquil place to stay. The soft music adds to the ambience. Brandon was very polite, friendly and professional. The rest of the staff were also very professional. The swimming pool and the area around it is a nice place to relax. The hotel is quite far from Centro so transport is required otherwise it's a 30-minute walk, which in the sun isn't advisable. There are very few restaurants nearby. The menu at the hotel has limited options. During my stay the cook was on holiday so the menu was even smaller. It would have been nice to have had more meal options available because as a vegetarian I am unable to choose widely. Besides this I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and I would really recommend guests to stay here as well.

Hôtel Parfait pour se Déconnecter

Personnel aux petits soins notamment Brandon qui a été d’une gentillesse et bienveillance incroyables. L’hôtel est à 15 minutes à pieds du centre mais à proximité de plusieurs plages désertes. Ideal pour se déconnecter complètement. Seule petite remarque pour améliorer le confort : rajouter des rideaux occultants car le soleil se lève tôt et difficile de prolonger son sommeil si on est sensibles à la lumière. Pour le reste, le séjour a été parfait ! Merci
