The start off the show here is staff they treat amazing, the beach is amazing calm water so great for the kiddos and only a short 3 minute walk if that.
We recently stayed for 7 days to celebrate our 25th anniversary. From start to finish our stay was amazing. The service was top notch each day, especially from Javi on the beach and Ramiro at the bar and restaurant! Everyone was kind and helpful. We plan to be back for sure!
We love this place so much this was our second time staying here. We have never done that before. Everything is great, location, service, rooms, environment, food is good especially the ceviche. Hopefully going back for Christmas!
The room was satisfactory. Most staff were helpful and amazing. The breakfast was great. Would not recommend upgrading to a food package as there are amazing restaurants here. The beach is a short walk and is awesome. I found this hotel expensive for what was offered but the location was great.
The staff were absolutely amazing! Everyone is very friendly. The property is beautiful. I only had an error on the all inclusive package because it was booked through Expedia. Overall great place to stay!!
We had a wonderful stay! The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed. Our room was beautiful, comfortable, and just a short walk from the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the ocean whenever we wanted.
The entire property was clean and well-maintained, including the pool area, which was a great place to relax. The amenities and food were excellent, and everything contributed to an stress-free and enjoyable vacation.
We truly appreciated the warm hospitality and attention to detail. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Holbox!
We just got back from a wonderfully relaxing stay at Palapas del Mar! I honestly can not believe how amazing all the staff were. It's been awhile since I stayed at a resort where EVERYONE was this genuinely attentive and friendly.
Javi our beach waiter was a super hero. He was ever-present and helpful, making sure we were well hydrated and fed, lol! Mike the dining room manager was so friendly and made sure everyone was happy with their meals. And Rosa who made me wonderful omelettes every morning with a smile! The house keeping staff worked hard to keep the room spotless and sand free.
The grounds are well maintained as were the two pools.
The food was good with a great variation of dishes in the buffets. Every night there were different themed foods... Italian night, Asian food night, Spanish night, etc. But their shining star is BBQ night! The staff worked all afternoon setting up tables in the garden, stringing lights, setting tables just so... making a very romantic atmosphere. The grills were searing rib eye, sirlion, chicken sausage, ribs and shrimp. A guitarist and singer added to the ambiance.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat when visiting Holbox. This was my 3rd visit to this wonderful island, and this hotel is my top pick!
One more mention... there is a stand on the beach that sells tours. Great prices... you will know the stand because Miguel and his dog Goliath will be playing on the beach or paddle boarding!

The beach was very clean and the stay was very nice, will def be coming back.
We picked this place because it looked cute with a boho vibe, and it totally delivered. The atmosphere was cozy and thoughtfully designed, and the staff was genuinely great — friendly, helpful, and welcoming from start to finish. It made the whole stay feel easy and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
Holbox is paradise, and the front desk staff and beach service were friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the pools are poorly maintained, with broken tiles that caused my 11-year-old daughter to cut her foot so badly she couldn’t swim for the rest of our trip. We also had disappointing service at the rooftop restaurant and towel station, where an employee tried to charge us for blood-stained towels caused by the pool injury. Proper pool maintenance could have prevented this incident and made our stay much more enjoyable.
