Isla Holbox Hotels

We went to Isla Holbox for the first time to swim with the whale sharks. As a family on a budget, this trip was worth every penny. The hotel was beautiful and well built. It was in a quiet area of town and yet plenty close to walk to the plaza and the beach. The gardens were exceptional and the pool was a welcome treat after spending all day on a boat and in the salt water. We thought we might miss being right on the beach but didn't miss staying on the beach at all. The a/c worked great. Isla Holbox itself was better than we expected-very laid back and comfortable, kind of like our family. We hope to go back to Isla Holbox and would not hesitate to stay at Casa Barbara again.

We just returned from spending 9 nights at Hotel Arena and we had a great experience. The hotel's location cannot be beat, the room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We stayed in the Suite which has an awesome second floor patio that looks over the plaza and is in the shade during the afternoon. The room had a mini-fridge and a kitchenette and the A/C with the ceiling fan kept it perfect even during the hottest days. The water pressure is low but I believe it is probably like that all over the island. The WIFI signal is strong and the rooftop bar is awesome. All of the staff are very friendly and the shop on the first floor has the best liquor/wine selection on the island. If you are looking for a clean hotel with a great location (100 yards from the beach) then I highly recommend Hotel Arena.

Wonderful experience from the moment we were picked up at the Cancun airport until we were dropped off for the last night in Cancun before flying home. We missed the worst 10 days of the worst winter in recent NE history. We hoped for a wonderful, stress-free vacation & we had it. All planning & scheduling was done for us - no looking for cabs, scrambling for ferry's or connecting transportation. An amazing Hotel, we were in the Master Suite - total privacy & lots of space. The weather was perfect, the beach & water glorious, the pool with it's small bar was the best at the end of a hot day.. Meals & staff were 5 star. We can't wait to book again.

The hotel staff were ABSOLUTELY amazing! The ceviche was deeelish and the margaritas yummy!

The hotel was great right on the beach and had lots of chairs and umbrellas right there to use.

My husband and I booked a week at Xaloc to relax and unwind, which is exactly what we got. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, the location is amazing, and the accommodations were modest and clean. We will be back for sure!

great location, cabins are terrific, eco friendly facilities, friendly-helpful staff, clean, isolated, relaxing, the best hot water avaiability would be the only concern

The website photos make the pool look a little more glamourous than it actually is but overall the hotel is an ideal place to be if you like nature and a simple life. The rooms are lovely but because they're only a few feet away from the ocean we found lizard droppings on the otherwise immaculate bedsheets. Several iguanas live next to the pool, it's wonderful but better to be prepared!

This was my second time staying at Amaite. The location is superb if you wish to be close to the pueblito and the ocean. Lovely swimming. The hotel is clean and the staff friendly. Hotel manager Eduardo is a welcoming and generous host. He can help you discover the island or arrange for tours etc. From the beach you can see the fisherman come in with their daily catch. We loved the mango jelly served with breakfast and the guacamole is a good sized portion. The room rate is very reasonable - an excellent value.
