Finde Hotels in Holbox

I lucked out when I chose Xaloc , one of several beach front hotels on the gorgeous island of Holbox, Mexico. I was traveling alone and only had 5 nights (4 days given a full day on either end to get there and return home ) to unwind, explore and get a feel for this remote island off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula . Even before I left , I knew from my email correspondence with Eva, the Manager, that I would be safe and comfortable under her accommodating kind watch. Little did I know, till I got there, that I had also picked the perfect location. I was close enough to the busier, commercial town square to walk there on the sand path at the edge of the property in as little as 10 minutes but also far enough away to have the quietest beachfront practically to myself, sandwiched gently in between two of the livelier stretches of white sand. Eva and Adam at the front desk and Andreas in the dining room were all so nice and helpful and my very own little pallapa cabin facing the sea and complete with a kingsize bed of cotton, crisp sheets and white gauzy mosquito net, AC , large bathroom area and shower and porch with a couch and hammock was heavenly . It didnt take me more than a half day to recover from my long trip and get into the Holbox spirit. Barefoot all day, in and out of the turquoise clear sea , fresh ceviche for lunch , ripe, sweet mango on a stick at the beach, whole fried fish for dinner, guacamole while watching the glorious sunset , a day trip to paradise island and the point with a closing dip in a mineral rich deep blue cenote ... heavenly for sure and an accommodation I hope to return to annually . Muchas Gracias EVA! Julia

Schöne, geräumige Zimmer mit guter Ausstattung (wie beschrieben). Leider ist dies auch das Einzige, was positiv hervorzuheben ist. Das gebuchte Frühstück ist leider ein Witz… abgezählt, spärlich, nicht einem 5 Sterne-Hotel entsprechend! Es gibt ein Tellerchen mit Obst, (manchmal) etwas Cerealien und einen Löffel Fruchtjoghurt dazu und wahlweise entweder Omelette (mal mit, mal ohne harten, kalten Toast) oder 3 kleine Pancakes, die man auch kein 2. Mal braucht. Neben einem Glas Saft, gibt es entweder eine Tasse Tee oder schlechten, dünnen Kaffee (obwohl ein Vollautomat vorhanden wäre). Der Service „stets bemüht“, ausgenommen Alejandro, der wirklich sehr fürsorglich und „auf Zack“ war. Der Strandbereich ist eigentlich ganz schön angelegt, jedoch dröhnt den ganzen Tag „Partymusik“, die einen irgendwann das Weite suchen lässt, wenn man einfach chillige Stunden am Strand verbringen möchte. Entspannte Klänge, die das Meeresrauschen nicht übertönen wären hier viel angebrachter. Die Snacks und Getränke hier waren übrigens ziemlich gut. Ansonsten hat das Hotel neben einem kleinen Pool und Gym nicht viel zu bieten, Spa… welcher Spa? Für mein Empfinden wären hier 3 Sterne angebracht.

Unusual layout, patio doors all face inward towards central courtyard, but you have privacy. Do take a good mosquito repellant. The organic ones DO NOT Work. I'm talking from experience. 1 block fro. Lively beach but if you go back along beach past town, the beaches are good. Breakfast is not huge, but enough to keep you going till lunchtime. Rooms are of good size with ultra modern lighting & good ari conditioning with fan. Don't expect continuous hot water. For me was not a problem as I find cool water quite refreshing. The staff are very knowledgeable and if you ask, they will organise for you. I would definitely recommend as it is lovely & quiet, but within 10 mins walk from town or short taxi. I recommend la cabana pizza Italian restaurant on next block to eat, great pizzas
