Boutique Hotel EL NIDO Holbox

Great hotel on Holbox for those who want to avoid the crowds. Very modern, clean and comfy (I really liked the style). It's very close to Punta Coco (3min walk) to watch the Sunset, Bioluminescence and to enjoy a less crowded beach. However, you should be aware that the hotel is a bit far from the city center, so you need to walk around 30min. there one way. But there also are some restaurants closer by (Pizza, Mexican cuisine, Burgers), between the hotel and the city (around 15min walk). There also is a little store around the corner to buy drinks, etc. The owner and staff are lovely and so is the whole common area, including the pool. The breakfast (coffee/tee, joghurt with granola, fruit, cookies) is included and if you like a bit more such as eggs, you can buy it for a little extra cost. So, overall, it is totally recommendable if you are not the party but the more quiet type of tourist ;) Muchas gracias!

The hotel is a great retreat. Far from the city center so it's perfect for a quite holiday, but the beaches nearby are not great for swimming due to the birds. The ride with a quad taxi to the hotel is fun and cheap. It is clean but the free breakfast has space for improvement with less sweets and something Savoury.

The good: the hotel was clean, and although the room had a bit of a smell, it was just the typical humidity of Mexico. The service was fine overall. However, there were several drawbacks. First, be aware that the hotel has stairs and no elevators, which may be inconvenient for some guests. Second, I felt misled by the “breakfast included” offer. The breakfast consisted of a small bowl of chopped fruit, two dry cookies, and a glass of fresh juice with coffee. To me, that’s more of a snack than a proper breakfast. If you wanted eggs or a full meal, you had to pay extra. The location was another major downside. It was extremely far from the town center—about a 30-minute walk, not along the beach, but through muddy, uneven streets. The beach path didn’t provide full access to the town, which was frustrating. Taking a taxi was 200 pesos each way, which quickly added up. Considering the extra costs for breakfast and transportation, you’re actually better off staying somewhere closer to the city. When you factor in all the additional expenses, it would likely cost you less to stay in town than at this hotel. The overall value just isn’t worth it.
