Hôtel sympathique mais éloigné du centre.
Style très moderne, un peu dommage pour le lieu et prix un peu élevé au vu de la localisation.
Par contre rien à redire sur les infrastructures ou le service, même si nous ne sommes pas sûr que l’établissement vieillisse bien.
Petit déjeuner léger et diététique

Lovely boutique hotel to escape from it all. We enjoyed our first trip to Holbox. I do wish the hotel offered a happy hour or had a small hotel bar for guests. Alberto is a wonderful host and ensures your stay is perfect.

Not a 4* hotel, lower your expectations
The hotel is very basic and I am not sure how they reached their 4* rating. Basic amenities (fridge, water) were missing from the room and reception shuts well before the last ferry to the island. Almost nothing is included in the hotel price and bikes, breakfast etc. cost extra despite being listed as included. Their marketing is very good but for half the price you can stay at a better hotel in the same part of the island.

Clean but basic and lacks a central location
If you don't want to be near the centre, this is perfect. The manager is exceptional - and works long hours (but there isn't a permanently manned reception, so service may not be available promptly). Rooms are basic - no fridge, would have liked a filtered water dispenser in the hotel and I had to move to have a room with a desk and chair (not all have them). I can't fault the service or cleanliness. You can see the sea - on the horizon, between buildings- but it isn't on the beach.

Il proprietario è amichevole, flessibile e attento ai dettagli. La proprietà è ben tenuta, con un design studiato nei minimi dettagli e una piscina meravigliosa e rilassante. Abbiamo apprezzato l'esperienza e consigliamo vivamente l'Hotel El Nido a chi è alla ricerca di un posto tranquillo e rilassante sull'Isla Holbox.

Hôtel Parfait pour se Déconnecter
Personnel aux petits soins notamment Brandon qui a été d’une gentillesse et bienveillance incroyables.
L’hôtel est à 15 minutes à pieds du centre mais à proximité de plusieurs plages désertes. Ideal pour se déconnecter complètement.
Seule petite remarque pour améliorer le confort : rajouter des rideaux occultants car le soleil se lève tôt et difficile de prolonger son sommeil si on est sensibles à la lumière.
Pour le reste, le séjour a été parfait !
Merci

Great place, lovely location and super well taken care of by Alberto. Would defo return.
As for any comments about distance from town, potholes etc, it's a pleasant walk, the potholes are passable after rain, and there's a shop super close by.

The hotel is a tranquil place to stay. The soft music adds to the ambience. Brandon was very polite, friendly and professional. The rest of the staff were also very professional. The swimming pool and the area around it is a nice place to relax. The hotel is quite far from Centro so transport is required otherwise it's a 30-minute walk, which in the sun isn't advisable. There are very few restaurants nearby. The menu at the hotel has limited options. During my stay the cook was on holiday so the menu was even smaller. It would have been nice to have had more meal options available because as a vegetarian I am unable to choose widely. Besides this I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and I would really recommend guests to stay here as well.

Un NIDO excepcional
En general excelente. El lugar pequeño pero tranquilo y con todo lo mencionado en la descripción. A dos cuadras de la playa. El servicio de Alberto, de mucha calidad y muy servicial. Nos incluía desayuno continental. Y se podía ordenar desayuno más completo por un bajo costo extra. Realmente pasamos unos días relajados y muy placenteros.
