We went to Holbox at the beginning of December, 2009 and stayed at one other hotel and La Palapa. We stayed in the bungalow, and I never saw any of the regular rooms so I can't comment on those. The bungalow was it's own, private unit behind the hotel. It was nice because there was no one upstairs, downstairs, or... more

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel La Palapa in Holbox. The location at the end of town right on the beach was perfect for our get away. The hotel is small and was nearly empty the dates we were there. The rooms were the typical Mexician fare with hard beds and ify air conditioning but Holbox would not be... more

My husband and I have traveled all over the world and this was one of the most perfect places ever to stay. The rooms had such a great feel to them..whitewashed walls, the natural beams in the ceilings, the genuine Mayan cloth throws on the beds.And very very clean. It feels like a quaint, European pensione. The people! Oh the... more

Last summer, I went to Holbox to dive, beacuse I was supportive to my friend with her thesis work. The job was done in a week. We stayed in the Hotel la Palapa. The hotel is in front of the beach near to Faro Viejo. The rooms are confortable and the view of the sea is beautiful. There are hamoscks... more

My daughter took a look at our spartan room and wanted to stay there at least one more night (not possible, they were full). The rooms are large and sunny, all have a veranda with a couple of chairs and a (very small) hammock and a view of the beach. Alas, it's either too hot to hang out in it,... more

We just spent a week in this hotel and from all the great reviews were very excited until we saw and heard all the construction on the roof. They are building a palapa of sorts on the roof and being just under it on the second floor, the noise of the chain saw and constant banging was very disruptive ...... more

On one of the quieter islands around the Yucatan region. Three hours by bus from Cancun to Chiquila, then a short boat journey to Isla Holbox. Beautiful hotel on the beachfront, lovely rooms, we had one with a balcony and hammock, very helpful staff. more

This hotel is a truly hidden gem. I've traveled all over the world and believe me when I say to look no further to find the perfect place to stay for a Holbox getaway. The beauty for me here was the symbiosis with nature yet never feeling like I was roughing it. No gimmicks, fancy pool, adjoining 100 seater restaurant... more
