"We had a great stay at Mapache. The private room was spacious and clean. The staff were lovely and helpful. We also loved the daily activities and the small breakfast included was a bonus. Would recommend Mapache to anyone staying on Holbox. I've only just found out the Mapache means racoon though! "

"Dear Holbox Dreams Team,
I am writing to share my wonderful experience during my recent stay at Holbox Dreams.
This was my second visit, and I celebrated my birthday there. From start to finish, it was exceptional.
Your beach is everything it is described to be and more — beautiful, clean, with stunning white sand and breathtaking ocean views. I loved the complimentary towels and comfortable loungers, the excellent beach service, and being able to relax in the palm tree hammocks and dine beachside under the white umbrellas. The clear turquoise water was perfect for snorkeling and windsurfing, with excellent access.
The hotel restaurant was also excellent, with a great variety of options. The breakfast was delicious, and having it right on the beachfront made it so convenient to enjoy great food and drinks throughout the day. The air conditioning in the room worked perfectly as well.
I especially want to give a special mention to Tanya, the Property Manager. She was 100% — she truly made my visit. She is a very special person.
I noticed every day that she was attentive to every guest on-site, making sure they had everything they needed. If anyone had a concern, she was ready to step in immediately and provide excellent service. Her attention to excellence and customer service is like none I have ever seen before.
Holbox Dreams is centrally located, just a short walk from the main area, has every amenity needed, and is right on the beach. I highly recommend it to anyone"
"beautiful installations, next to the best beach in the island, but the service of all the staff was the best, they are so friendly, knowledgeable and ready to help all the time, we felt right at home, definitely recommended 1000% - PAULETE is the best, running a great team that make your stay an excellent vacation, ready to came back soon"
"The room was clean, the staff was friendly, and the food was good. We stayed in September 2026, and unfortunately, there was a lot of construction going on during our stay. The construction started early in the morning, and we weren’t able to walk directly down to the beach from the hotel like I had expected.
I had stayed at the villas next door the previous year, so I assumed it would be a similar experience. I understand that once all the construction is finished, the property is going to be amazing. I also noticed they are building a new pool, which I’m sure will be a great addition.
My biggest disappointment was that we weren’t warned about the construction ahead of time. Had we known, we may have chosen a different hotel for this trip.
Other than that, everything else was great. The staff was very helpful whenever we needed assistance, including getting a taxi and helping us with our three-island tour. One other thing we weren’t told about was the entrance fee to Yalahau. Last year, this was included in our tour ticket, so we were surprised to find out there was an additional charge this time.
Overall, aside from the construction and a few unexpected details, we had a good stay. Once the construction is completed, I can definitely see this being a beautiful property and a great place to stay."
