Great Choice!
Pros:

Perfect location for MY ‘Fly Fishing’ purposes and easy walk to town and restaurants.
Great beach access and pool refreshing.

Cons:

Though did not need or inquire about but poolside lounge chairs could have existed.
Rooms could/should have had place to put ‘suitcase unpacked clothing.
Requested refrigerator was PERFECT! (But should be standard item)

Muy recomendable para hospedarte en Holbox
Pros:

La ubicación es muy buena y con acceso directo a la playa, el hotel muy limpio y el personal muy amable; en especial Kevin en la recepción y Franco en el bar de playa. Hacen que tu estancia sea muy placentera y cualquier duda que tengas sobre la Isla la resuelven muy rápido.
Holbox es un destino que no te debes perder si te gusta la vida de playa.

Pros:

La habitación era amplia y limpia, el personal del hotel muy amable.

Cons:

El club de playa no lo controla el mismo hotel, es otra administración y es muy molesto que estén encima del huésped. No se puede sacar sus bebidas al área de la playa porque los camastros puedes usarlos solo si consumes en el club de playa del mismo hotel.

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.

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.
