We stayed at this hotel for five days, and in my opinion, it is excellent—the location, the service, the staff, the attention, the kindness, etc. Thanks to all the hotel staff; our stay at this place was amazing. We would return without a second thought, and I highly recommend it.

Amazing place

Amazing place to visit with the family, they are not completely on the beach, you need to walk a few meters and cross the street to be on the beach, they have a beach club, they bring you the service, food and drinks; the restaurant has a lot of variety, just if you arrive late, the food it's cold and they don't have everything, it's in the best beach for childrens and infants.

Antonio and his staff were wonderful. Very supportive and helpful. An easy walk from downtown, on a glorious white sandy beach. Very quiet and safe, isolated relative to big events. Not for the party hard crowd. No cars, only dune buggy/jeep cross type vehicles. Food was excellent and varied. Don't miss BBQ night

Very good hotel, friendly service but a bit pricey

I had an excellent stay. Location is great. Beach is beautiful. Room was large and bed was very comfortable. Only improvement point is that the ceramic tiles in the shower were not so clean. Room a bit pricey for its simplicity but it is Holbox.

Great hotel in a great location. Situated slightly further out of town meant it was peaceful but a very easy walk. Great facilities with two pools and its own beds on the beach over the track. Food and drink options were varied. Felt very upmarket and value for money. Would definitely go back and would recommend.
