Boutique Hotel El Nido Holbox

Friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms and fresh supplies, cozy atmosphere and stylish design, nice pool and bicycle rental, healthy breakfest (with other tasty options available in the menu) and delicious pizza. Beautiful and not crowded beach with many cute birds is very close to the hotel.|Thanks a lot to El Nido for an amazing stay 💚

The hotel is a great retreat. Far from the city center so it's perfect for a quite holiday, but the beaches nearby are not great for swimming due to the birds. The ride with a quad taxi to the hotel is fun and cheap. It is clean but the free breakfast has space for improvement with less sweets and something Savoury.

Great hotel on Holbox for those who want to avoid the crowds. Very modern, clean and comfy (I really liked the style). It's very close to Punta Coco (3min walk) to watch the Sunset, Bioluminescence and to enjoy a less crowded beach. However, you should be aware that the hotel is a bit far from the city center, so you need to walk around 30min. there one way. But there also are some restaurants closer by (Pizza, Mexican cuisine, Burgers), between the hotel and the city (around 15min walk). There also is a little store around the corner to buy drinks, etc. The owner and staff are lovely and so is the whole common area, including the pool. The breakfast (coffee/tee, joghurt with granola, fruit, cookies) is included and if you like a bit more such as eggs, you can buy it for a little extra cost. So, overall, it is totally recommendable if you are not the party but the more quiet type of tourist ;) Muchas gracias!

Place is great if you want to disconnect from the everyday. Alberto did everything he could to pleased us throughout the stay. From the breakfast, to he's recommendations to grab a bite around and what to do, the bikes and the cappuccinos. Coming back for sure. Karen & Mitch

The good: the hotel was clean, and although the room had a bit of a smell, it was just the typical humidity of Mexico. The service was fine overall. However, there were several drawbacks. First, be aware that the hotel has stairs and no elevators, which may be inconvenient for some guests. Second, I felt misled by the “breakfast included” offer. The breakfast consisted of a small bowl of chopped fruit, two dry cookies, and a glass of fresh juice with coffee. To me, that’s more of a snack than a proper breakfast. If you wanted eggs or a full meal, you had to pay extra. The location was another major downside. It was extremely far from the town center—about a 30-minute walk, not along the beach, but through muddy, uneven streets. The beach path didn’t provide full access to the town, which was frustrating. Taking a taxi was 200 pesos each way, which quickly added up. Considering the extra costs for breakfast and transportation, you’re actually better off staying somewhere closer to the city. When you factor in all the additional expenses, it would likely cost you less to stay in town than at this hotel. The overall value just isn’t worth it.

They are what they promise, a home away from home. Excellent stay, Alberto went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and at home. Thank you Alberto for making the beginning of our trip a great memory :) One of the best stays in Mexico, highly recommended! Some constructive criticism: the shower heads could be replaced to a single jet, to allow for a bit more pressure as the rain shower with low pressure is not ideal. Some improvement on the food at the restaurant given the prices would allow guests to stay in if they are not in the mood of going out and maybe the availability of snacks to buy throughout the day should you choose to have a lazy day at the pool :) last thing, being a bit out of the center approx. 25 mins walk it would be nice if the hotel offered bikes at competitive prices as they were quite expensive compared to the prices in the center of Holbox

The hotel is amazing, it’s very peaceful and easy to spend hours by the pool. The rooms are beautiful, very well designed and the staff are excellent. The food is good and the hotel is a beautiful place to relax. As a solo female traveller, I felt very safe and looked after throughout my stay. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying on the island, who doesnt mind paying for taxi’s or long beach walks. Through no fault of the hotel the roads surrounding the hotel are completely flooded, much worse than the rest of the island, which makes the location a little tricky, however it is still possible to get around via walking up and down the beach. I had no issue with the remote location when making the booking, but I was not aware of the extent of the flooding. This is completely out of the hotels control, however this island wide issue does need addressing, for tourism to continue. The island has so much potential.

El Nido was a wonderful choice for our visit at Holbox. I loved the modern architecture and aesthetic details everywhere. It is quiet, and relaxing. Alberto and the rest of the team were kind and helpful. The food is fresh, and great for nights where you don't feel like going into town We enjoyed the location, because we were further away from the village center and liked to walk. Late evenings/night you will likely want to take a taxi or make sure you have a light. It is right around the corner from punta Coco, where you can walk to the bioluminescence area. There are quieter, off-the-beaten path beaches to explore
