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.

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!!

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.

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.

The hotel’s decor is stunning, featuring unique nest-shaped light fixtures, thoughtfully curated found objects, and relaxing music that enhances the ambiance. The property itself is beautiful, tastefully designed, and offers a sense of privacy. Its location is ideal, just a 5-minute walk to the beach and 10 minutes from a prime spot to watch the sunset. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hammocks, which added to the overall tranquility. While the hotel lacks a hot tub, it would be an amazing addition if the owner is considering upgrades! We dined at the hotel for both dinner and breakfast, and the meals were of high quality and reasonably priced. A note for future guests: bring cash (Mexican pesos, US dollars, or euros) in various denominations, including small and large bills. Despite being a cash-only property, the hotel often doesn’t have change available for transactions or the ability to exchange USD for pesos. While this is a bit inconvenient, it’s worth being prepared. That said, this observation doesn’t detract from the overall experience or our rating—it’s simply a friendly tip for fellow travelers.

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.

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

The hotel itself was very quiet and well appointed. Large rooms and everything worked well. Staff was lovely and breakfast was very nice. I tend to get up early the staff brought me coffee before the 8am breakfast time. Only real disappointed was the golf cart rental. We rented a golf cart for several days and the hotel charged much more for it than if we rented directly. We also asked if we could rent on for less than a 24 hour period. We were told that was the min time...found out we could have rented for a shorter time period.

El Nido Staff were warm, caring, friendly, & so helpful with suggestions & local knowledge. making suggestions for us to explore on our own which we love to do. They were also available and willing to arrange any and every detail (which they handled with perfect, ease-filled results) . Breakfast & afternoon snacks & drinks were prepared with great attention to our special allergy needs & preferences. Fresh individually prepared Breakfasts included. Full restaurant services were not available when we were there. Surroundings were elegant AND comfortable & casual, a superb combination! The pool was sparkling, the grounds hand groomed,. Rooms tended with care. This intimate boutique hotel is our idea of Aaaah! We loved the location, quiet & serene.
