Awesome People Work Here
The staff at the restaurant is awesome. We enjoyed our breakfast there every mooring. We stay here because of these great people in the resturant. The only complaint is the process’ of check-in / out.. Could be quicker but very polite staff. Quick stroll to beach…

We had a lovely 4 nights stay in the hotel. Attentive staff, peaceful location, very clean facilities. With all inclusive stay we didn’t go anywhere else and enjoyed high quality food and drinks in the hotel. You’ll be in love with Holbox after staying at HM Palapas!

When I first arrived I didn’t have cash for the taxi and the front desk gentleman kindly let me borrow cash until I was able to go to an ATM. So very kind. The place itself was SUPER clean and in a great part of the island. Quiet yet walkable to the town and on a big part of the beach.

Impeccable
L'endroit est tout simplement des plus reposant et calme. Un peu plus éloigné du centre-ville de Holbox donc procurant une quiétude assurée de même que de très bons lits de plage en quantité suffisante bien que l'hôtel ne semblait pas à pleine capacité. Nous avons également pris deux dîners ainsi qu'un buffet du soir et la nourriture était bonne. Beaucoup de personnel sur place et un entretien constant impeccable. Je recommande cet hôtel assurément et je n'hésiterais pas à y retourner.
