Uno de los mejores lugares que he conocido para ir con mi famila
Really enjoyed our 5 days here had room 6 and it was very cozy and clean and extremely quiet (which is a rarity in Holbox) We slept like babies! The beds were great! The AC works great and the water is hot! the wifi is strong! We didn’t use the kitchenette but there was a enough of everything to make snacks etc. it’s 5 min walk from the market and 10-15min from center. Easy to find! Gets hot walking so highly recommend a bike :) overall great value for Holbox. It’s not new but it’s really worth it! I highly recommend to book here also bc it is run by sisters who are locals from the island rather than foreigners! The electricity on the whole island was out sometimes in the afternoon but it was fine since we were exploring anyways.
Maritza war sehr hilfsbereit, von Anfang bis zum Ende freundlich und jederzeit erreichbar. Die Unterkunft ist im Preis/Leistungsverhältnis nicht zu topen. Die Unterkunft ist etwas abseits des Insel Trubel und daher abends sehr ruhig. Am Vormittag fliegen ein paar klein Flugzeuge von der angrenzenden Flugbahn und daher kommt es auf der gesamten Route der Flugzeuge zu erhöhtem Geräuschen aber dies ist am Strand und in der Innenstadt somit in allen Hotels zu hören. Die Unterkunft hat eine Klimaanlage, ein Ventilator, TV mit diversen Kanälen auf Spanisch, Kühlschrank, Kaffeemaschine, einen Föhn im separaten Duschbad mit Spiegel (zusätzlich ein ganz Körper) und eine kleine Garderobe. Vor der Tür gibt es Sonnenliegen die man nutzen kann. In der Nähe ist ein Früchtemarkt der am Morgen geöffnet hat und morgens sowie abends haben hier locals ihre Restaurants geöffnet, die eher rustikal sind aber sehr zu empfehlen, zumal weit günstiger als in der Innenstadt. Bis zum Strand sind es 6min Fußweg. Wir können den Ort weiter empfehlen und wünschen Maritza alles Gute.
Lugar limpio, cómodo, solo recomendación renta bici, si estarás varios días.
La atención es muy buena. No hay servicio al cliente ni nada por estilo. Pero es cómodo y se realiza la limpieza apropiadamente. Lo feo es que esta muy muy muy lejos de zonas para nadar, de convivencia y de alimentos. Sin embargo, si se quiere algo sencillo como jugos, hay un mercado cerca.
Está muy agradable el lugar y los cuartos limpios y bonitos. El señor Luis que lo recibe a uno es muy amable. Y los precios muy accesibles. Está cerca del mercado y del aeropuerto
Independiente,acogedor y en familia. Además de estar cerca del centro y más aún del mercadito donde saborear ricos jugos y comida maravillosa,en squslis place me he sentido cuidada,con una anfitriona(la dueña)que no duda en cruzar la isla porque se ha ido la luz y venir a traer veladoras a sus huéspedes e ir cuarto por cuarto preguntando uno a uno qué necesitan. Siempre pendiente y dispuesta para facilitar que la estancia nos sea lo más cómoda posible. 40 días con ellos que jamás olvidaré. Besos,gracias y hasta siempre, esqualos place.
Está chido, cuentan con el internet satelital starlink y eso ayuda bastante ya que en la isla se cae la señal muy amenudo

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
