The Best Hotels and Resorts in the World: The Gold List 2026 | Condé Nast Traveler

"Ser Casasandra, a boutique hotel on Quintana Roo’s Holbox that personifies the term barefoot luxury, is run by Sandra Pérez Lozano, a Cuban artist and writer who first came to the Mexican island 25 years ago and quickly fell in love with the laid-back spirit. First built as a family home, it has retained much of that original spirit over the years, albeit with a staff now at your beck and call and a stellar food and beverage program. The hotel, like the island, is in a constant state of evolution. No two rooms are alike across the property’s 18 keys, and Sandra is happy to keep it that size; any larger and you lose the ability for staff to really get to know each visitor. Her personal touch is evident throughout the property, with art on display made by her and other Latin American artists and a wellness program that goes deeper than massages and facials. From $300. —Madison Flager" - CNT Editors
