Casa Noma-Noma — Hotel in Isla Holbox

Where do I begin...the first thing I will focus on is the staff: Luis (the hotel liaison/manager) was so incredibly informative, responsive and accommodating, even before we arrived on the island. My girlfriend and I stayed at Noma Noma in the middle of October after the island had been hit by 2 hurricanes and a tropical storm back to back. Luis kept us comfortable upon arrival and even upgraded our rooms due to the cancellations of others (because the hot water supply was damaged during the storm and was out during our stay - honestly the days were hot even in Oct and it was fine). The sweetest lady ever cooked the HEAVENLY breakfast every morning from a small rotating menu and was so kind and made the best food I've ever eaten. All of the staff we encountered were so kind and helpful. It was convenient that I and my friend who came with us spoke Spanish, but his wife and my gf didn't and we're still able to communicate with them easily enough. When a taxi driver tried to get us to spend a lot of money on a nearby bioluminescent experience, Luis sent me a map pin and gave us a flashlight and texted me exactly the best time to go and how to get there via a 10min walk.

Next thing is the hotel itself. Located on the far side of the island, most taxis upcharged to get there because of the flooded roads (we literally went on an adventure every time we took one through massive lakes and streets flooded to your knees or waist, it was actually super fun). But that didn't matter really because you can walk along the beautiful beach to get to town in 15-20min, and if you want there are a ton of absolutely amazing beachfront bars and restaurants from other hotels that you can stop at. The views from the hotel are gorgeous and it's slightly back from the beach itself giving a bit of jungle vibes as you're surrounded by vegetation, but in the coolest way.

The rates were super affordable and the pool was the perfect temperature and the beds very comfy (I slept like a rock every night as did my gf who has trouble sleeping most places).

They cleaned the rooms daily and treated us so so well.

We plan on returning to Noma Noma as soon as we can, for the breakfast and overall...

Casa Noma Noma is a slice of paradise. We started each day with a home-cooked breakfast & French pressed coffee in a shady spot under the trees. From there we would stroll over to the nearest beach, which is about a 2 minute walk away. The beach itself is perfect for swimming and relaxing. Heads up there is not much shade so plan to bring your sunscreen or lounge on the day beds at other nearby hotels. At the end of each day we would walk into town along the beach and watch the sunset. The walk takes about 15 minutes and feels very safe and easy. At that point you’re in town and can enjoy delicious food (go to Taco Queto!), live music, and dancing in the streets. A ride home is very easy to grab and costs about 200 pesos.

The Noma Noma staff is very friendly and helpful, big shout out to Luis for helping us with anything and everything we needed including translation and transportation. The hotel itself is very well designed with beautiful rooms, bathrooms, a swimming pool, and hammocks for lounging.

Overall I would highly recommend Casa Noma Noma. It’s a great option for those who don’t want to be right downtown and want some peace and quiet. Heads up if you’re a digital nomad: Internet and cell service is pretty spotty on the island, but if you’re looking for a peaceful vacation look no...

Casa Noma Noma is a unique property designed for relaxation and a quiet stay. Marcela and her team were very friendly and treated us like family. Noma Noma and Punta Cocos are so peaceful; the airy suites offer stunning views and lovely decor. I enjoyed the handmade soap in the bathroom and the eco-friendliness of the hotel. The private patio was my favorite, with a table and hammock to sit outside and enjoy the breeze. The pool is perfect for cooling off after exploring. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, and Marcela arranged great massages on our balcony. There's a beautiful beach just a 2-minute walk away at Agua De Coco beach club & restaurant, featuring amazing drinks and food with the most stunning beach ever. Punta Cocos was around an 8-minute walk from Noma Noma and worth a visit. I recommend Holbox Magico, which is known for its pink hammocks and great fish tacos and drinks. While bugs were an issue, it's expected in a rustic setting, and we managed to get them outside safely. We highly recommend this property and will return.
