Casa Las Tortugas
The name of this hotel originates from when the hotel was almost finished. The owner saw plenty of turtles (tortugas) returning home. So, they decided to call the hotel Casa Las Tortugas (House of the Turtles).
This is a family run hotel and, like the turtles, they want you to come back each year. This magical place scores an impressive 9.4 in Booking.com.
The Casa Las Tortugas has a spa and offers yoga, meditation and various treatments to help you to disconnect and detox from the stress of busy lives. Since Holbox is a car free island, it is the perfect place to switch off and relax.

Villas HM Paraiso del Mar
This Holbox hotel is the sister hotel of the Villas HM Palapas del Mar described previously. Both hotels are located next to each other and have the same high standards. In our opinion, the Villas HM Paraiso del Mar has a more casual atmosphere and is more suited to families than couples.
We stayed at both of these hotels during our stay on Holbox Island. For us, the Villas HM Palapas del Mar had a more boutique and intimate feel than the Villas HM Paraiso del Mar. We saw more families with children at the Villas HM Paraiso del Mar.
The Villas HM Paraiso del Mar has one swimming pool and the complex is organised in lush tropical gardens.
