Prima hotel ,te duur voor wat je krijgt
Pros:

Dat het aan zee lag en goed te belopen is naar het centrum

Cons:

De standbedjes bij het hotel worden extern ook verhuurd .Deze verhuurders leggen zelf handdoeken op de voorste rijen ,en de bedjes met matras jes om die te kunnen verhuren, Als duur betalende hotelgast moet je dat maar goedvinden .
Niet zo netjes.Zwembadjes liggen op rare locatie en ijskoud (schaduw ) geen stoeltjes oid
Alleen glasgordijnen voor de raam vonden wij niet fijn .

Zimmer und Lage schön. Feeling durch den schlechten und sehr unhöflichen Beachservice nicht gut
Pros:

Lage top!
Sehr nah zum Zentrum und am schönsten Strandabschnitt in Holbox.
Zimmer einfach und rustikal. Kein TV oder Haartrockner aber sauber.
Liegen und Sonnenschirme und Badehandtücher gratis.

Cons:

Das Personal des Strandrestaurants.
Absolut unfreundlich und genervt.
Die Kellner sind nur freundlich wenn man sehr viel konsumiert.
Ich bin einmal kurz aufs Zimmer um was zu holen. Der Kellner hat mich bis auf das Zimmer verfolgt und mir unterstellt ich würde meine Rechnung nicht bezahlen.
Ich habe mich dadurch nicht wohlgefühlt.

Schöne Lage aber die oben genannten Punkte sind leider ziemlich störend
Pros:

Schöne Lage fast direkt am Strand - der Strandabschnitt ist sehr schön

Cons:

Zimmer hat wenig Ausstattung

2 sehr große Nachteile gibt es:
Alle! Zimmer liegen zur Straße, auf Holbox fahren überall (außer am Strand) und zu fast jeder Zeit Strandbuggys rum die richtig laut sind.

Das Restaurant und der Beach Club gehören nicht zum Hotel. Die Kellner laufen die ganze Zeit mit miesem Vibe rum und man muss diskutieren wenn man das Wasser was vom Hotel zur Verfügung gestellt wird dort konsumieren will.

Bedeutet also man bucht ein Hotel mit normaler bis niedriger Ausstattung und wird gepushed zu konsumieren wenn man die Hotelliegen am Strand nutzen möchte.
