Very cute boutique, hotel, quiet and intimate definitely recommend stay there 🙌
Tom, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely boutique hotel to escape from it all. We enjoyed our first trip to Holbox. I do wish the hotel offered a happy hour or had a small hotel bar for guests. Alberto is a wonderful host and ensures your stay is perfect.
Stacey, 4-night trip

Dmytro, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel is a tranquil place to stay. The soft music adds to the ambience. Brandon was very polite, friendly and professional. The rest of the staff were also very professional. The swimming pool and the area around it is a nice place to relax. The hotel is quite far from Centro so transport is required otherwise it's a 30-minute walk, which in the sun isn't advisable. There are very few restaurants nearby. The menu at the hotel has limited options. During my stay the cook was on holiday so the menu was even smaller. It would have been nice to have had more meal options available because as a vegetarian I am unable to choose widely. Besides this I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and I would really recommend guests to stay here as well.

Very Nice hotel

10/10 Excellent

Great place, lovely location and super well taken care of by Alberto. Would defo return. As for any comments about distance from town, potholes etc, it's a pleasant walk, the potholes are passable after rain, and there's a shop super close by.

The Hotel's "charge des affaires" is the best. Best meaning accommodating, attentive and cares for its cliental. This place brings service to its cliental. Absolutely recommend with no reservation.
Richard, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Property was very pretty, very close to beautiful Punta Cocos. Staff was excellent and very charming. About 30 min outside of town altho very easy to walk or take taxi. Beware there will be puddles if taking taxi, just a special part of Holbox.

6/10 Okay

Not as nice as promoted

Disappointed with the bar service, limited. overall average. Street flooded, poor location

El Nido is A Gem!

El Nido is such an Incredibly Romantic Gem. The ambiance was felt immediately by My Partner & I. The Proprietor has done an Exceptional job creating a delightful and uniquely tranquil atmosphere. The energy of the space was just what We were hoping for on the Island. Very well managed & maintained. The staff was great…helpful and very detail oriented. They definitely made sure Our stay was pleasant. We will absolutely be returning for another stay next time We make it to Holbox. What a Beautiful Property!!
Sean, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Lovely modern boutique hotel with very friendly staff. The location was a little remote, about 30min walk to the central part of Holbox. The room was spacious but we could hear our neighbours at night... The breakfast was small - additional items (avo toast, espresso etc) were charged extra.
Robert, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

manager is very nice, however the hotel is not accessible by foot when the roads are flooded (which is often on this island)
Rafael, 3-night trip

Patrick, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfect and Amazing. The property is beautiful, the rooms are gorgeous and the service is of another planet. Thank you el Nido, i hope this is the firs of many.
Maximillian, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

El Nido is a lovely boutique hotel in Holbox, away from the hustle and bustle of the island. The pool is lovely and the hotel has a really nice decor, with spacious rooms. I really enjoyed the quietness of the place, especially in the evenings! One thing to flag is that is a bit away from the centre of the island, so you either have to walk or take taxis (around 200 pesos per taxi) which is a bit inconvenient at times. The closest beach is 5 minutes away at Punta Coco however if you want to go to other beaches, is a bit of a walk
Ioana, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel and staff were both excellent, surpassing expectations. The natural design beautifully reflects the environment, enriching the serene atmosphere. It’s just far away from town not to be inconvenient. Loved it.
Alison, 3-night trip

Maria D, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A gem!

Decided to splurge and stay for two nights at El Nido. It was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. It is in a very quiet spot (we did have to traverse a few big puddles to get there after the big flood the week before) but soooooo worth it. Although off the beaten path there were some accessible restaraunts a short walk up the beach. Breakfast was tasty, staff friendly, drinks from the bar good! Overall would highly recommend! Was the highlight of our trip to Mexico. Will dream of our return one day!
Hayley, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

We had high hopes, but the trip was a disaster. Literally covered from head to toe in mosquito bites. No way to leave the property in foot without getting shredded with bites and dodging mosquito infested waters. Great pity. Franco tried his best, but it was hopeless.
Paul, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Positive: Close to Punta Coco Negative: AC only from 10pm-7am Breakfast menu limited to 5 choices Far from the center
Marco, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

By far our favorite hotel in Mexico during our two week road trip. Perfect service, with a lot of attention to detail, from raking sand throughout property to fluffing pool cushions, the team makes this a perfect little oasis away from the hustle of town. This leads to my only improvement suggestion - room rates should come with free bike rental included, which they currently charge at 300$ per person per day! Given the distance from town, you dont really have any other option.
Jeff, 3-night trip
