    How to Find the Best Hotel in Holbox Island Mexico?

    Finding the best hotel in Holbox can be difficult depending on the time of year you visit.  Holbox Island is a tranquil paradise which is car free and currently unaffected by mass tourism.  For the time being, there are no big hotel complexes on the island.  Instead, you will find a small selection of small and mid-size hotels. If you want to secure your ideal hotel within your budget, you need to book in advance.

    To help you find the best hotel in Holbox, below you will find a hand-picked selection of the best hotels in Holbox for all budgets.

    Best Hotel in Holbox Island for All Budgets

    Hotels in Holbox are definitely not the cheapest that Mexico has to offer.  However, this is the price to pay for a stay on the idyllic island of Holbox.  Fortunately, there are still budget price hotels, but these rooms are limited so try to book in advance to be sure that you secure your preferred hotel or hostel.

    Best Luxury Hotels in Holbox Island

    Holbox Island is the perfect place to treat yourself with a luxury hotel.  Here are our top picks:

    Villas Flamingos Beach Front

    This luxury hotel is in total harmony with nature and is an eco-friendly hotel. The reason for this is that the hotel is situated within the Yum Balan Nature Reserve.

    Villas-Flamingos-Beach-Front
    Villas-Flamingos-Beach-Front

    The hotel is located almost at the end of Playa Holbox and is perfectly located for you to enjoy calm and tranquillity.

    The hotel has 3 outdoor pools with 2 adults only swimming pools. To relax, you can go to the spa which offers different choices of massages. There is also a restaurant and bar.  The bar is ideally located on the beach and gives you the best view of the amazing waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

    Villas HM Palapas del Mar

    This stylish hotel in Holbox has a fantastic location not too far from the centre of Holbox.  It is a delightful boutique hotel to spend quality time with your partner.  This beautiful hotel has 2 swimming pools.  The first swimming pool is found on the ground level and the second one is located on a roof top terrace.

    It is magical to watch the sunset from the roof top terrace pool.  If you opt for fully inclusive, you can eat and drink as much as you wish.  You can even ask for your food and drinks to be delivered to the hotel’s private sandy beach area.

    Another positive for this hotel is that you can opt for a room with a small plunge pool.  Some of the hotel’s ground floor rooms have a small private pool at the end of the terrace, a luxurious touch which means that you can relax and unwind in the comfort of your own space.

    This hotel also offers you the possibility to rent bicycles, but if you are a genius member on Booking.com, you will get this for free.

    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.

    Villas-HM-Paraiso-del-Mar
    Villas-HM-Paraiso-del-Mar

    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.
