Awesome People Work Here

The staff at the restaurant is awesome. We enjoyed our breakfast there every mooring. We stay here because of these great people in the resturant. The only complaint is the process’ of check-in / out.. Could be quicker but very polite staff. Quick stroll to beach…

This property is ideal if you want to be directly at the beach!! Unfortunately, upon arrival in the evening, we noticed our sheets were stained as well as the pillowcases. Since it was the evening, they didn’t have any staff to change the sheets so we had a very uncomfortable night. When they came the next day after yet again requesting only the sheets were replaced not the pillowcases with stains visibly on there and we had to call them back. This made for an uncomfortable mindset of what else isn’t clean? There also wasn’t very much accountability or apologies for the inconvenience. The property outside is well kept & the breakfast was decent. I think the options could have more flavor, but maybe they are geared more towards Europeans taste buds. The make your own omelette station was nice. Overall, we would maybe stay here again, would just need to do a thorough review of the room immediately on arrival.

First trip to Holbox. The hotel was nice, our room was ready upon arrival. We were given RM 51 which was an upgrade which included a private plunge pool. Also, for being an Expedia member we received a bottle of Champagne. The property is pretty, the decorations are also nice. The plunge pool was nice to have and they cleaned it daily for us. The room had a great AC and the bathroom had plenty of hot water and water pressure was great. That’s not always a given on an island. We did the all inclusive, not the upgraded one. The mixed drinks were always really good and we had several, we didn’t even notice the well liqueur they were so good. The waiters and bartenders were great. We even had great service at the beach. You can order off the snack menu at the beach. The steak and chicken they use for the fajitas and nachos is so tender and flavorful. The Ceviche was fresh and really good as well. The breakfast buffet had plenty of options and we chose to eat out for dinner. The neighboring restaurant Parador 33 was delicious. Best meal of the trip. It’s an Argentine Steak and seafood place. The Octopus Carpaccio was to die for and so was the steak. The staff were super friendly. The taco stands in town are also fabulous. It was a great trip. I only took off 1 star because the shower and sink had some draining issues, but it wasn’t that big of a deal for us. We also had massages by Alma in the sister hotel. It was fabulous, and the price was fantastic.

Such a beautiful spot for a reasonable price right on the beach! My wife and I came here for our honeymoon and we have no regrets! We partially loved the beach side drink and snack service included in the all inclusive package we got! Thought we’d get tired of mojitos but they were just so good! The food was excellent as well! Each day has a theme for the week we were there and all of them were very good! Our favorite was the BBQ and Mexican themes! The only thing we were disappointed with was the shower, the water pressure was sometimes non-existent and it took about 5 minutes to heat up which was kinda annoying… Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely come back again!
