Hotel Puerto Holbox — Hotel in Isla Holbox

Looking at other hotels in the area, this place was probably one of the better ones. The beach is gorgeous though I'm ashamed to admit that we didn't even set foot on it. Hey, we only had two evenings here. We were kicking ourselves for not adding an additional night. Our room had two double beds and the AC was quite sufficient. We had a key style safe. Do not lose the key.

They're included breakfast was okay. Nothing spectacular but it saves you a few bucks.

About Holbox: The beach bars had a wonderful "vibe". I told my wife that it reminded me of Boracay in its infancy.

Must Do! Bioluminescence. I think we overpaid for the tour at 600 pesos per person. We were supplied wetsuits with mask and snorkel. I've heard of this tour being as slow as 200 pesos per person. Your mileage may vary. You can bring your underwater camera but forget trying to take a picture of the bioluminescence. It cannot be done! We were there the end of July 2021 and all the tour guides were saying that this is the brightest they have been all year. We got lucky.

Bikes OR Golf Cart? The quick answer is, if you do not mind bicycling in the heat, then go ahead and bike. We had an eight-year-old with us that kept slowing us down and complaining about the heat. Secondly, the dirt roads of this island have a lot to be desired. The rains just erode some of the roads here. Also further east and west of Centro, the roads get more sandy and makes it more difficult to pedal.

HUGE TIP: do not withdraw cash anywhere on this island. You will suffer financially. Make sure you get your cash before you arrive at the port...

Breakfast - starts with tea/coffee, a flavoured water (e.g. hibiscus or tamarind depending on the day), toast with homemade fruit jam, fresh fruit and then your pick of a few options like rancheros, chilaquiles, pancakes and a vegetable crepe- all of which were very good.||Room- comfortable bed, air con worked well, nice balcony with hammocks, safe in room, fridge and a hot shower.||Hotel- beautiful gardens, comfortable loungers with umbrellas, hotel has pet cats and you can also see iguanas sun bathing in the gardens. At night there were racoons which were more cute than a nuisance. ||Service- really helpful staff, all very friendly, restaurant staff and reception spoke English. It was my partner's birthday and they put out flowers, balloons and decorations which was lovely.||Downsides- the pool was a little cloudy- not sure how clean it was. Although there were loungers for hotel guests, the ones closest to the beach were only for if you paid for the restaurant (min spend 500mxn per person). Although this was explained at check-in, it would have been nice to be able to use these as a hotel guest without charge.||Overall though would definitely...

I had a wonderful experience at Hotel Puerto Holbox. The location is perfect for those seeking a peaceful getaway, as it is situated in a tranquil area. We were lucky to have a beachfront room, which allowed us to witness some of the most breathtaking sunsets I've ever seen.

The staff at the hotel were incredibly attentive, ensuring that our needs were met throughout our stay. Additionally, the restaurant at the hotel served delicious dishes that left us satisfied and impressed.

However, it's worth mentioning that the hot water supply might be insufficient for those who prefer hotter showers, and the water pressure could be a bit weak. This might be something to consider if you prioritize these aspects during your stay.

Overall, I had a great experience at Hotel Puerto Holbox. The serene location, attentive staff, and delightful restaurant made it a memorable stay. Just keep in mind the potential limitations with hot water and water pressure. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a tranquil...
