Pros:

The location was great, 5-8 minute walk into the town square.
Beachfront, all you have to do is cross the street into the beach area, the beach club is a great amenity.

Un très bon choix pour Holbox, bon rapport qualité/prix.
Pros:

Le beach club juste en face de l’hôtel. Hôtel bien placé, tout proche du centre. Chambre et salle de bains confortables.

Cons:

Les deux piscines peu équipées et entretenues. La décoration de la chambre pourrait être améliorée.

Pros:

Location is great, not too far away from the town but also away enough to have some serenity. Staff is very nice and helpful. Very good value for the money. Access to the beach is amazing. The rooms are nicely decorated and generally comfortable.

Cons:

The food in the restaurant was okay and could have been better. There is sometimes noise coming to the rooms in the night. And the sheets and towels could have been renewed as they were old.

Chambre familiale top cependant serveurs plage à fuir
Pros:

Hôtel dans un endroit calme de l’île parfait avec enfants et assez proche à pied des restaurants etc
La chambre rdv avec piscine devant pratique. Personnel accueil agréable et professionnel.

Cons:

La bar / restaurant de plage est une catastrophe. Les serveurs indépendants sont désagréables et essayent de vous rajouter des pourboires sans demander avant attention aux additions. De plus si vous commandez pas assez genre un café ils préfèrent attendre avant de vous servir…. Plusieurs disputes avec des clients devant nous assez désagréable quand on est tranquille sur son transat de sentir cette tension alors que cela est inclus dans la chambre (transat)

un petit coin de paradis
Pros:

- pas de bitume, pas de voitures (sauf petits taxis jeep), seulement des routes de sable, on se sent vraiment déconnecté de la vie citadine.
- l'eau d'une couleur magnifique (et pas de sargasses !), et le sable extrêmement fin. Nous avons eu la chance de ne trouver que très peu de monde lors de notre séjour.
- l'hôtel est très bien placé, à quelques minutes du centre et en bord de mer. L'espace transat est agréable, avec un peu de musique, mais le volume sonore est bas, ce qu'il faut pour se reposer. En nous promenant le long de la mer et en comparant les autres beach club, nous nous sommes dit que nous avions très bien choisi notre hôtel :-)
-la chambre et salle de bain sont joliment décorées.
- le personnel est très gentil et à l'écoute.

Cons:

- il est dommage que les petits taxi jeep roulent à l'essence au lieu de l'électrique. pas top pour l'environnement et pour l'odeur de fumée de pot d'échappement.
- la chambre est un peu petite. Nous étions 4 et sommes restés trois nuits; nous n'avions que 4 cintres sur la penderie et aucune étagère ou tiroir pour ranger nos affaires. tout est resté dans nos valises.

This hotel is located at a nice location; it is away from the loud noises at the center to relax.
Pros:

I loved the location of this hotel; it is the best in the island. I did not use any extra services at my stay, but I saw that they have a nice kitchen and amazing promotions at the beach club. The staff was very friendly and kind.

Cons:

The water at the shower and sink was overflowing when I used them; and I could feel the springs on the matres.
