Guests rate it 9.6 out of 10 from 127 reviews, with the latest dated August 2026, and its property class is 4. Rooms are suites with king beds. It suits couples and quiet-seeking travellers who like a peaceful base near the bioluminescence beach and are happy to use a bicycle or taxi for town.
Location and getting around
The hotel stands in a regional park area near the beach. The property details put Holbox Beach about two minutes on foot and Bioluminescence Beach and Punta Coco Beach about eight minutes on foot, with the main square about a five-minute drive and the ferry within about two miles. Guest reviews describe the hotel as remote, with a walk of 25 to 30 minutes into town or a short taxi ride. Bicycle rentals are listed, and a golf cart is a good idea.
Rooms
Four suite types are listed. The Standard Suite is about 301 square feet with a king bed, the Jr. Suite with Terrace is about 291 square feet, the King Suite with Balcony is about 377 square feet and the Ocean View Master Suite is about 484 square feet with a sea view. All have king beds. The hotel has no elevator, so ask about ground-floor rooms if stairs are a concern.
Who it suits
Couples, honeymooners and anyone who values quiet over convenience. The spa has couples treatment rooms and in-room massages by reservation, and the breakfast is included.
Good to know
Reviews mention mosquitoes and flooded roads after heavy rain, so bring repellent and expect a wet walk after storms. Because the hotel is far from the village, plan dinners in advance and ask about transport back at night. The property details show free parking, but most guests arrive on foot from the pier by porter and taxi. Reserve early for dry-season weekends.
