Great location on the beach, a short walk to town, but far enough to be nice and quiet. What more could you need? We did have a couple requests and Edwin at the front desk was happy to help. He is absolutely amazing, and totally made our stay with his great service. Highly recommend!

Nice boutique hotel close to town and on the beach

Great location close to town and directly on the beach. The only issue we experienced was not having a refrigerator in the room as we were there for 11 days, it would have been nice. Aside from this everything was really good.

The hotel itself was very clean and beautiful! The staff was friendly and helpful. It was a short walk into town. They were lacking in amenities - no wash clothes, hair dryer, coffee maker. Breakfast was not included as stated and the restaurant didn’t open until after 8 - had to wait until they opened to get coffee.

If you're considering Holbox for remote work, this might not be the best choice. The internet connection is unreliable, and the rooms lack proper workspaces, such as desks and chairs. However, if your primary goal is tourism, this place is fantastic! The "beach club" is excellently situated, offering a prime location to enjoy the surroundings. The service was exceptional, and I would definitely stay there again for a leisure trip.

It's a beautiful place right across from the beach, with great access to a really beautiful part of Holbox beach, beach chairs and towels, and a restaurant that serves good food (on the property but independently run). The wifi only works - and then intermittently - in the office or by the pool, and the cell network isn't great, but both are features. It makes one disconnect and enjoy the vacation all the more. It's walking distance from the town, but far enough away that it's very quiet. And a very safe place. They do a good job arranging the transfer to and from Cancun airport.

Positives: direct beach access with good beach beds and umbrellas as well as bar service. New clean towels everyday for shower and beach. Helped organise taxi to/from the airport and excursions. Beach drinks very good. Safe in hotel room. Negatives: a lot of noise throughout the night from the ATV taxis and pedestrians. Woke us up rather frequently. A/C unit was noisy, so mostly turned it off at night. Hard to keep room clean of sand as the pathway through hotel is not paved. Room had some wear and tear. Food was so so. Reception is not 24 hours. Safe a bit small.

I loved Casa Iguana. Small and quaint, the rooms were very comfortable, and there is AC. My King Bed Ocean View room was awesome and I had a whole second floor deck to myself. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. I do wish breakfast was included, but the prices at the restaurant are super reasonable. They serve eggs, fruit, chiliquiles, espresso drinks, smoothies, cocktails, etc. The location is unbeatable, since you can turn left and go to "town" to visit more bars and restaurants, or you can turn right for less crowds and amazing beaches. The beach right in front of Iguana is as good as any though. Definitely recommend getting a Palisade buggy rental and exploring the island up and down, but watch out for deep puddles. We went all the way down Magico, and all the way up Mosquito. The beaches are beautiful everywhere. The whole.island feels safe, and prices are reasonable. Our favorite meals were at Antojitos Karasin for local empanadas and sopas, and Parador 33 for Argentinian steak dinner. Casa Iguana is a gem.

Quiet and Relaxing hotel close to beach!

This was our first visit to Holbox and this property made our stay for the 7 nights very enjoyable. The pool was right outside our room and was never busy and was nice to soak in every once in a while to cool down. The pool was cleaned daily from what we had seen. The staff from the front desk, cleaners, and restaurant were all very friendly and did a great job! The cleaners were ready to go every day and kept the rooms clean. The other nice thing was the beach was right in front of the hotel where the staff was constantly going back and forth serving food and drinks all day. The area is supposed to be for the hotel guests but I did notice that people would walk down the street between from other locations to set camp there. It didn’t really affect us as we were out early enough to claim a spot but on busy times this could pose an issue. The nice thing is there is sooo many spots all along the beach with loungers I think you could pick a different spot if needed . The downside is you don’t get the benefits to be served with the food and drinks from your own hotel. I would still definitely recommend this place to others!
