We loved our stay at Hau. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The included breakfast wasn’t that great, but they have other options that they charge. Beach was perfect and although it seemed possible, but walking into downtown was impossible via beach or the road. The roads were flooded and there’s many barriers on the beach. Still a great location and loved having access to Spirit rooftop pool and restaurant. The perfect getaway for a couple!
They decorated our room for our anniversary and birthdays 🥰

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room had a lovely view, right on the beach. Unfortunately, bright lights on the balcony remained on all night and there was no switch to turn them off. Instructions for the safe lock were left for guests, however they were inaccurate and we needed to ask reception to demonstrate the correct procedure. New instructions need to be provided. We found the rule that no “outside” food or drink could be consumed in our room was overly strict. We checked out a day early because our experience of Holbox did not reflect what we’d seen in online reviews. This tiny island is overrun with tourists and ATVs and the infrastructure needed to support this is not present. The local government should put caps on tourist traffic to the island. Garbage collection seems nonexistent and empty lots are used instead. Prices are very high in all restaurants.

The hotel is located near the ocean, and the restaurant is located next to the restaurant which is nice. But that is about it. The breakfast is a joke. You'll get 3 tablespoons of yoghurt, 20g of serials / nuts, half a toast, 6 pieces of fruit (watermelon, papaya and pineapple). Coffee, Tea (Chocolate for kids), juice of the day and water. During three days over new year, we got scrambled egg, but then we had to pay for them.... The scrambled eggs was just something for christmas they included in the breakfast. We had a bed sofa for our kids, but it was as hard as the concrete floor, so they couldn't sleep in it, and it was so short, that taller persons will not be able to sleep in it. The beach itself is nice, but the ocean has lots of conrete slabs / rocks s it is easy to injure yourself unless you alk careful in the water. The staff themself ain't the best staff, some are rude, some likes to talk down to us. One other thing that is positive is that it is very quite early here, as it is located outside of the main city.

Beautiful location, but not up to expectations

Beautiful location and friendly staff but the breakfast is terrible and there are better places to stay for the same or better price. We are a family of four who took a luxury suite. The sofa bed was very uncomfortable and only suitable for small children. The room was small and not a suite.

The property is well maintained, the beach is absolutely amazing and the location is perfect if you want to be in the quieter part of the island without being awfully far from town. The staff is great and very attentive... Thank you Vanessa, Franco and Alberto for helping with the booking of a couple massage, the golf cart rental and with suggestions and directions to visit places on the island. Thank you Leonardo for taking care of us during breakfast and catering to us with drinks and food while enjoying our days in the beach. We felt like VIP watching the sunset from a privileged spot in the sand while drinking margaritas and mojitos (it is a must!).

Everything was excellent. Communication, service, cleanliness, attention to detail. From the private door-to-door transfer coordinated by Franco at front desk, to the welcoming environment, and the friendly, professional, efficient, and knowledgeable staff at the restaurant. José and Leonardo always attentive to our needs. Chef Ricardo shared a great story about huevos motuleños during breakfast. The location is great. You can get anywhere by walking along the beach. Food is really good, cocktails are amazing. Facilities are spotless clean and the rooms are comfortable and quiet, so we had incredibly restful nights. We woke up refreshed everyday. Everything about our trip was remarkable and our whole experience in Holbox was wonderful mostly due to the quality of our accomodation Gracias!

This was our second time in Holbox, for our honeymoon and wanted to stay somewhere a bit fancier, this was not that. Check in was frustrating, asked for an upper level ocean view and got an extremely obstructed view. The room had mold on the bathmat so we showered without it on the rough cement floor. Never could have more then 5 minutes of hot water, could barely wash my hair without freezing. AC and fridge and tv amenities worked good and were nice to have. Cleaners were quick and efficient. Our room was located by the beach club which was very loud. Could hear the music until 9 or 10pm and as early as 7am. There was always some kind of banging during the night. Beds were extremely hard and even harder pillows. Breakfast was just fruit, a hard piece of toast, a cookie, granola and a tiny bowl of yogurt, if you wanted eggs it is extra, which were very bland. We went elsewhere for breakfast most mornings. We ate a few times at the restaurant Fragata, they didnt have sushi available most days. Small portions for the price and pretty bland. The drinks however were great, especially the Margheritas. The beach was pretty clean, the lounge pills were very comfortable and well taken care of. Property was kept clean. Staff could be a littler more friendly and attentive. Pretty disappointed in our stay especially for our honeymoon.
