The pool doesn’t look desirable to jump in but who wants the pool when you have the beach right in front of you. The room had what we needed. If relaxing and quietness is what you want this is not the place, it’s a block away from main bar areas and there is another beachfront bar right next it music is very loud but it was convenient for us since that’s what we wanted.

We have visited Holbox many times and chose this hotel because the location is a nice balance—close enough to town for my friends while still feeling close to nature for me.
The property is beautiful. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and nicely cooled, with excellent hot water. The pool is gorgeous, the location is spectacular, and the staff are very kind and friendly. They even prepared a lovely birthday celebration for me, which was a very thoughtful touch.
Unfortunately, the noise at night was a major issue. There are nightclubs behind the property that play music until around 11:30 PM, and later—between about 2:00 AM and 4:30 AM—cars frequently stop outside playing very loud music. At times it felt like having a nightclub inside the room.
Our group had three rooms and unfortunately none of us slept well during our three-night stay. It’s truly a shame because otherwise the hotel is wonderful. If there were better soundproofing or some way to control the late-night noise outside, this place would be absolutely perfect.
La vista es realmente buena, la Pool yo no la utilice

was a very simple hotel . Water poured in because it rained night before and I mentioned it during check out to the front desk and they said well yes that will happen when it rains as if that a normal thing. Shouldn’t be normalized. Overall noisy location but I was prepared with earplugs! Didn’t bother me.
Joli et rustique, chambre propre, lits et oreillers très confortables. Toutefois, impossible de dormir, la musique des bars environnants faire rage jusqu’à 3h du matin tous les soir
Nous avons malheureusement dû quitter l’hôtel en plein séjour après 2 nuits de misère.
Si vous faite la fête jusqu’à plus soif c’est un hôtel pour vous, si non, réservez ailleurs!

Le monsieur a la réception est tellement tellement bête et aucune classe . Il ne voulait pas nous preter des serviettes de plages et ne voulait pas nous donne des oreillers. Il parle seulement espagnol et il est tres impatient. Un gros 0000 son attitude
Beautiful view of the ocean and excellent location to restaurants. Clean room.
Comfortable bed. Private outdoor balcony space. The music during the night until 2 am from the beach was loud as the hotel had noted. If loud music at night bothers you I would choose to stay in another location.
Everything about this hotel was great. The concierge was very helpful and efficient. The rooms were clean. The bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much. The only major problem was the neighboring bar that began blasting loud dance music at 10:00-10:30 PM. It was tough to sleep there, sadly. We certainly slept well when we made it home.
Muy Bien Situado. Facil acceso. Linda vista frente al mar

En general el hotel es lindo (hermosa vista al mar), las habitaciones de buen tamaño, tienen A/C, Jonathan es quien nos recibió es super amable, mantiene el hotel siempre muy limpio. Sin embargo, está situado enseguida de un bar EXTREMADAMENTE ruidoso, el ruido no cesa hasta las 3-5 de la mañana por lo que resulta imposible dormir
This Hotelrooms are build by Wood and one Window with very very thin Glass
You hear everything Outside
I got the clear Feedback from the hotel as we Left two nights upfront that it is written in the Hotel discription that it is in the centrum and the noise is of course loud there
So if you would Like to stay at a hotel where you cannot sleep because some bars around make music till 5 a.m. => this is it
The people on the reception cannot speak english and the room is full of Sand everywhere and the water pressure is almost zero
It was the worst hotel experience of my life

Beautiful location. Was quiet at night on Sunday so that was amazing. The area is very noisy overall. The room was about a 2 star, no amenities, no TV, no blanket, no coffee or glasses or mugs. It had a bed and that was it. Great place if you want to party and be out about the town.
Es un lugar bonito para descansar y el personal muy amable

La habitacion es interesante, a mi me gusto, aunque hay mucho espacio entra la madera y se pueden colar bichitos y mosquitos. Nosotros estuvimos solo una noche, asi que solo vimos alguna que otra pequeña lagartija. El aire acondicionado no daba a basto por el dia, aunque lo poniamos a 16°... pero tampoco nos hemos quedado en la habitacion por el dia. Las vistas estan preciosas, pero por las noches hay mucha fiesta y la musica esta alta hasta la madrugada. Pero en recepcion te ofrecen tapones para los oidos. Bueno, por lo general, a mi me gusto la habitacion,pero no se si podria quedarme alli una semana entera.
Me encanto la piscina, era muy central a todo y la playa esta en frente el hotel. El dueño que nos atendió era muy amigable y nos ayudo bastante. Lo único que cambiaria era que hacia mucho ruido el bar en frente y una noche habían muchos jovenes haciendo mucho ruido en frente del hotel.

The hotel is nice, VERY well located in the heart of Holbox, but with that comes the noise, and gets VERY noisy!! The hotel has a bar in front of it and the party goes on until 4/5am. The room is exactly as you see in the pictures but the hotel is made of wood so you can hear EVERYTHING from the other rooms. Said that, the bed and staff is great and the view is awesome.
The hotel was just what we needed for a short stay—basic, clean, and with a beautiful oceanfront view. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. We were even able to book a few excursions directly through them, and pickup from the hotel was easy and convenient.
On the downside, there’s a bar next door that stays open until 4 a.m. with very loud music, which made it difficult to sleep. We also didn’t have hot water for showering during our stay.
We originally tried to book directly with the hotel staff, but they quoted us 1,200 pesos per night. Through Expedia, we were able to book the same room for 800 pesos, which made it a much better value.
Overall, if you’re planning to stay out late or don’t mind a simple, conveniently located hotel, this is a solid choice. We’d recommend it for 1–2 nights max.
