First trip to Holbox. The hotel was nice, our room was ready upon arrival. We were given RM 51 which was an upgrade which included a private plunge pool. Also, for being an Expedia member we received a bottle of Champagne. The property is pretty, the decorations are also nice. The plunge pool was nice to have and they cleaned it daily for us. The room had a great AC and the bathroom had plenty of hot water and water pressure was great. That’s not always a given on an island. We did the all inclusive, not the upgraded one. The mixed drinks were always really good and we had several, we didn’t even notice the well liqueur they were so good. The waiters and bartenders were great. We even had great service at the beach. You can order off the snack menu at the beach. The steak and chicken they use for the fajitas and nachos is so tender and flavorful. The Ceviche was fresh and really good as well. The breakfast buffet had plenty of options and we chose to eat out for dinner. The neighboring restaurant Parador 33 was delicious. Best meal of the trip. It’s an Argentine Steak and seafood place. The Octopus Carpaccio was to die for and so was the steak. The staff were super friendly. The taco stands in town are also fabulous. It was a great trip. I only took off 1 star because the shower and sink had some draining issues, but it wasn’t that big of a deal for us. We also had massages by Alma in the sister hotel. It was fabulous, and the price was fantastic.

Such a beautiful spot for a reasonable price right on the beach! My wife and I came here for our honeymoon and we have no regrets! We partially loved the beach side drink and snack service included in the all inclusive package we got! Thought we’d get tired of mojitos but they were just so good! The food was excellent as well! Each day has a theme for the week we were there and all of them were very good! Our favorite was the BBQ and Mexican themes! The only thing we were disappointed with was the shower, the water pressure was sometimes non-existent and it took about 5 minutes to heat up which was kinda annoying… Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely come back again!

Meh....

several things determined my rating. The island was having water issues from the mainland so we were only allowed to shower, flush at certain times certainly not the fault of the hotel but wasn't fun. We had to wait 4 days for them to fix one of our shower heads and it ended up taking 2 minutes to fix it they are in no hurry to make something right. There are 2 pools, the main pool was not open for 75% of our stay and the other pool closed at 7 PM. The food is disgusting, I ordered a margarita pizza and it arrived with ceddar cheese, oregano powder and a crust I have no idea where it came from. Drinks and beach service were great. Great location, rooms are decent but the service overall except for beach service really could use improvement. Especially the service at the front desk.

Be very careful with Expedia. They do false advertising. Read your receipt, word by word before making your reservation or you will be surprised once at the property with surprise fees like ours, $347.00 additional fees that Expedia refuses to refund. They advertise that the property considers all kids “adults”, but suddenly at the property their age matters and they charge you extra. I’m still waiting on Expedia. I have a recording of the manager pretty much admitting it is their mistake, but I should have also checked with the facility directly. For the price; I’ve stayed at way better places. Room was infested with ants, all over, including the bed. When I reported it to the staff, I got a bottle of Raid. We were given another room for the night, which smelled terrible, AC did not work, and pillow shams smelled like someone had slept there and the sheets were not changed. We paid extra for a private pool that was never serviced. The water was so unsanitary appearing, I didn’t let my kids swim in it much. Sheets were never changed, even when requested. You get charged a $20 for each pool towel. The only decent thing was breakfast. But even during our stay they decided to have some repairs, which gave off a terrible smell all the way to the pool.

We enjoyed this quiet small property. Appreciate the staff. Although it was quit confusing after making reservations through Expedia I then received an email from Villas HM Palapas indicating if I didn't pick a room number we could lose our reservations, yet when I went to choose the room I only had one choice. Then a few days later I was told we had to pay an additional fee for the room we requested! WHAT!? Don't fall for this. You do not need to pick your room of choice. All the rooms I'm sure are lovely but I felt this was the resorts way of making more money off us. So once we arrived we not only had to pay for our room we reserved but the additional taxes. For this i was disappointed.
