The view of the beach is amazing. For the price, the conditions are very good - rustic, but that's the charm of Holbox. Amazing sunset, especially if your room is on the second door. At night it is very noisy because of the bars, but again, that's the charm of Holbox! We really loved our stay! Thank you!

La habitacion es interesante, a mi me gusto, aunque hay mucho espacio entra la madera y se pueden colar bichitos y mosquitos. Nosotros estuvimos solo una noche, asi que solo vimos alguna que otra pequeña lagartija. El aire acondicionado no daba a basto por el dia, aunque lo poniamos a 16°... pero tampoco nos hemos quedado en la habitacion por el dia. Las vistas estan preciosas, pero por las noches hay mucha fiesta y la musica esta alta hasta la madrugada. Pero en recepcion te ofrecen tapones para los oidos. Bueno, por lo general, a mi me gusto la habitacion,pero no se si podria quedarme alli una semana entera.

Me encanto la piscina, era muy central a todo y la playa esta en frente el hotel. El dueño que nos atendió era muy amigable y nos ayudo bastante. Lo único que cambiaria era que hacia mucho ruido el bar en frente y una noche habían muchos jovenes haciendo mucho ruido en frente del hotel.

The hotel is nice, VERY well located in the heart of Holbox, but with that comes the noise, and gets VERY noisy!! The hotel has a bar in front of it and the party goes on until 4/5am. The room is exactly as you see in the pictures but the hotel is made of wood so you can hear EVERYTHING from the other rooms. Said that, the bed and staff is great and the view is awesome.

The hotel was just what we needed for a short stay—basic, clean, and with a beautiful oceanfront view. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. We were even able to book a few excursions directly through them, and pickup from the hotel was easy and convenient. On the downside, there’s a bar next door that stays open until 4 a.m. with very loud music, which made it difficult to sleep. We also didn’t have hot water for showering during our stay. We originally tried to book directly with the hotel staff, but they quoted us 1,200 pesos per night. Through Expedia, we were able to book the same room for 800 pesos, which made it a much better value. Overall, if you’re planning to stay out late or don’t mind a simple, conveniently located hotel, this is a solid choice. We’d recommend it for 1–2 nights max.

El hotel está frente a la playa a unos pasos de las letras Holbox y a un lado del muelle, así que hay acceso en lanchas (no por el ferry, pero hay servicios particulares). El personal muy muy amable, servicial y honesto, cuidaron nuestras maletas mientras estábamos en tours. Solicitamos 1 cuarto en primer piso y lo respetaron. Lo único malo/bueno es que está rodeado de bares y restaurantes así que tienes ruido toda la noche (te ofrecen tapones de oído al llegar). Si vas de fiesta es un pro! Pero si necesitas descansar si batallas un poco por el ruido. Las habitaciones son sencillas pero limpias, y la cama super cómoda.
El hotel es de madera, aire acondicionado, dos camas excelentes.
A unos pasos de las letras de Holbox.

The location of the property is excellent, right on the beach, and very close to the pier where the Whaleshark tours leave from. There was an amazing view of the sunset from our balcony. There are no food options at the property but a good range of restaurants in the vicinity. Beds were comfortable. Internet access was sometimes sketchy. The area around the hotel is home to many bars which play loud music until 2 to 4am in the morning, and the hotels wooden walls are not at all sound proof. So the nights were noisy. Bathrooms are a bit primitive and ours featured a dripping leak through the ceiling from the shower of the room above (found on our last night there and reported to the hotel on checkout). The pool was small and often crowded. Transport access to the hotel was good from the sand street in front.

Nice beachfront hotel right in the heart of town, if you like to go out and party this is your place since you are next to all the party locations, if you want to relax then choose another property because the bars nearby are very noisy up untill the morning. The rooms are nice and it’s very walkable around
