10/10 Exceptional

Hotel was beautiful and staff was very kind and helpful with all of our needs.
Ansley, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Very cute boutique, hotel, quiet and intimate definitely recommend stay there 🙌

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.

Great place, lovely location and super well taken care of by Alberto. Would defo return. As for any comments about distance from town, potholes etc, it's a pleasant walk, the potholes are passable after rain, and there's a shop super close by.

10/10 Exceptional

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 Gem!

El Nido is such an Incredibly Romantic Gem. The ambiance was felt immediately by My Partner & I. The Proprietor has done an Exceptional job creating a delightful and uniquely tranquil atmosphere. The energy of the space was just what We were hoping for on the Island. Very well managed & maintained. The staff was great…helpful and very detail oriented. They definitely made sure Our stay was pleasant. We will absolutely be returning for another stay next time We make it to Holbox. What a Beautiful Property!!
Sean, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely modern boutique hotel with very friendly staff. The location was a little remote, about 30min walk to the central part of Holbox. The room was spacious but we could hear our neighbours at night... The breakfast was small - additional items (avo toast, espresso etc) were charged extra.
Robert, 3-night trip

manager is very nice, however the hotel is not accessible by foot when the roads are flooded (which is often on this island)

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel and staff were both excellent, surpassing expectations. The natural design beautifully reflects the environment, enriching the serene atmosphere. It’s just far away from town not to be inconvenient. Loved it.
Alison, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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
Ioana, 4-night trip

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!
