“In my opinion, this adults-only beachfront hotel captures the essence of Isla Holbox with its direct access to pristine sands and thoughtfully designed ethno-chic Caribbean spaces. The emphasis on tranquility is evident, from the private balconies with hammocks to the customized snorkeling tours, which, in my opinion, are a must. The chef's varied dining menus using locally sourced ingredients complete the experience, making it a place to unwind and savor the island's beauty.”
