Food is more authentic in HM paraiso but pool, restaurant, pool bar, sand and beach front all closer together.

2/10 Poor

Requested a Ocean Front, But the room had no ocean view, WIFI never worked in the room, AC put inside a closet with doors, so half of the AC stays inside the closet. Service 0, Got no solution on my claims. Depressing place, For the price we paid, I think there are better options at a better price. The upper pool they had to remove a glass cause of the hurricane but they only put a precaution tape. Very unsafe. Depressing

The place isn’t bad, but it is not great. Room and showers need work. The mosquitoes could make it through the crack in the door and would get bit at night. Just our room don’t know about others. Just enough water pressure to come out of the shower head. Other than that food was good and the pools were nice.

The lobby staff was horrible. They nickel and dime you. No one knew the towel deposit. We got different amounts from two different employees. They also wanted to verify how I got my hotel stay price.

The hotel was very nice and the staff was caring and attentive throughout. It’s not brand new and sort of impossible to keep perfectly clean given the weather and roads. They did a very good job of making it comfortable and welcoming.

Boutique property. Real feel for Mexico with art decor. Beach clean, service on beach good, beds available. Walkable to town centre. It would be good if management with rest of hotels nearby cleared seaweed away. Starts to smell when dumped together

10/10 Exceptional

This is our 4th time on Isla Holbox and so far the best hotel for the money in my opinion. The location is on the nicest part of the nicest beach in Holbox and has great beach front covered beach beds with attentive service and great drinks.The staff go above and beyond being helpful, friendly and attentive. Usually hotels have a normal mix of happy and disgruntled employees but not here! Everyone was a gem! The level of attention you receive is unusual for what I consider a mid-range price point hotel. Special shout out to: Don Chepe/Jose (the bartender) who makes really good cocktails (and I am very picky!!), Silvestre, Azucena, Jesus and really all of the people who work in the dining room as servers. We rarely choose an all inclusive option but ended up switching to it for the last part of our stay. Food in Isla Holbox has gotten quite pricey and we felt we have adequately explored the local food scene in Holbox over the years. The price point and food quality for the all-inclusive option simply couldn't be beat and we were happy we made the switch. We knew that it was going to be brutally hot in Holbox this time of year so the plunge pool was a welcome addition for late nights when the big pools are closed and we still wanted to swim. We were really pleasantly surprised by this resort and would definitely stay here again!

Great spot to relax and unwind with family or friends. Staff is friendly. We had the all inclusive option and the food was way better than expected. I Will definitely try to go back. Exactly what I wanted.

6/10 Good

Overall, the property was decent. The access to the beach was easy and just a few short steps away. Along with the breakfast buffet, which had a touch of Mexican-style cooking, it made breakfast an event to look forward to. We did not end up purchasing the all-inclusive package as we found enjoyable and variety of restaurants in the nearby small town. However, there were a few concerns that deemed this hotel a 3-stars and not a 5-star establishment. First, visiting in June (low season) meant high humidity with average temperatures of 90 degrees plus. We arrived in our room with the AC turned off, causing considerable sweat as we unloaded our luggage. Second, more than half of the AC was blocked off by two pointless doors, preventing the room from cooling properly. We reported it to the front desk, but they only sent a technician with no follow-up. After a few hours, we returned to the front desk, this time with pictures showing the pointless doors and our dissatisfaction. Initially, we were met with pushback and excuses that the doors were part of the design and could not be removed. Only after further persistence and threatening to write negative reviews did they agree to try removing the doors, which they eventually did in a timely manner. After the doors were removed, the room cooled down tremendously. Overall, the hotel received 3 stars and lost a returning customer not because of the amenities' shortcomings but because of the staff's initial pushback.
