The space was perfect and beautiful for our family stay. Breakfast included was delicious. We thought it was a continental type breakfast but no. This is a full cooked to order meal. Staff was great, they went out of their way to help us. The beach access is great and the pool is nice too.

We stayed here during the hurricane. Our trip was cut short because of it. We loved our two nights there the hotel helped arrange the transportation to make it so easy getting there. When the hurricane caused the island to evacuate Eva was an absolute all star. Calm and cool and went so outta her way to make sure everyone was taken care of. She truly cared and gave all she could to help. I can’t wait to go back again and have a longer stay the place is beautiful and walkable to everything and the stay was the best.

Our only complaint was the air conditioning wasn’t very strong. We loved this hotel. Access to the beach and restaurants was incredible. The staff were amazingly accommodating and helpful. On our last day the island was being evacuated ahead of a hurricane, but the staff continued to go above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. I would highly recommend.

This was perfect for a small family. We had a room off the pool. Was perfect for my son. He loved that. Very close to the beach and the breakfast was really good. Close walk to restaurants

Our family of 4 had a wonderful and relaxing time on Holbox. The staff at Xaloc were always courteous and attentive, while giving us the space to relax. Our cabana was comfortable and was kept clean. We loved having a cabana by the family pool side 5min walk to many restaurants.Hotel breakfast was great! Fruit and pan dulce with coffee and juice, followed by a selection from a diverse and filling breakfast menu which is included with the stay. They didn't run out of any food items during our stay. The last 3 days we ate lunch at the hotel too, well priced and delicious, with service on the beach, poolside, room or in restaurant. As a note to set expectations, the loungers with umbrellas are only on the land side of the road, so if you want shade you have to deal with the steady flow of golf cars driving in front of you. The adjacent hotels all offer shaded loungers on the ocean side of the road. General comment about Holbox, there are waaay too many golf cars. People rent them or taxi instead of walking. In early April, the sargasso was really bad. They do what they can to clear it, but there's a lot of it. People on Holbox are trustworthy, which is a shocking contrast with the Cancun airport pirhannas. Book a shuttle from the airport to Chiquila for 350 pesos pp (sounds too good to be true but it works and is comfortable), or take the ADO bus (similar cost and comfort). Taxi will change you $392 USD to Chiquila. We loved our stay and all the restaurants we got to dine at.

Everything was absolutely amazing! Beautiful huts as rooms. Only thing I will mention is the water for the pool is insanely cold. Hence, it was empty most of the time.
10.0 / 10.0
the property met expectations. Management lead by Eva was most helpfull.
By the way, she organized private transport back to Cancun airport. Excellent service at a very reasonable price. Big plus for us.
congratulations Eva for the team you lead including receiptionist Adam.

The overall stay was average. The bungalow was clean throughout the stay and the included breakfast was good. There was no one at the poolside bar during the stay. Due to storms, the beach was covered in seaweed, which was only cleaned on day 3/3 for us. Overall the stay was fine but my hopes were higher for what we paid to stay (~200USD per night).

Just original and great!

The bunglows are very nice and the property is lovely. We really enjoyed the "family" pool, which was right by our bungalow. The "adult" pool was nice, although we were disappointed that the swim up bar was not open during our stay.
Adam at reception was extremely helpful and made our visit more enjoyable!

4.0 / 10.0
Nice Hotel right at the beach. Very friendly staff and the location is perfect as the hotel is not too far from the city center (10min walk) but far away from all the beach bars which can get a little louder when they turn on the music.
Forget the fancy hotels at the end of the island you will always have to take a taxi to get to the city center. Hotel is clean. It is not a luxury hotel but we felt very comfortable there for the 3 days we stayed in Holbox. Breakfast is ok, wifi is available rounnd the reception.

Even though, the island had a blacked out, the manager made the impossible to keep us comfortable. Adan, the concierge, is the best, he gave us amazing recommendations and helped us to make our stayed unforgetable. Thank you to all the staff.

Booked oceanfront king bed. Room isn’t ocean front since there is a long courtyard then a street then the beach then the ocean so you do not see ocean from your room. Its a pool side room. Property is very nice. Area is very noisy since rooms are next to street and the windows do not close so you clearly hear anyone walking, talking or driving by. Room did have AC unit but room was still very hot since windows do not completely close. We had to sleep naked and shower in the middle of the night. Free breakfast was terrible. Lunch and dinner options were delicious. Staff very friendly. Overall we had a wonderful stay. Bring bug spray!!!!! Mosquitos are out of control on Isla Holbox.

Book this hotel as a flight/hotel package. It was very affordable for a post Thanksgiving trip. Location is great, close walk to town, beach is across the main road in hotel zone. Breakfast included although we only ate twice due to boring and bland options. Fresh juice and coffee included. Concierge/ front desk agent Adam, was fabulous. I highly suggest reserving a cabana (poolside,beachside) so much better and closer than the main building tucked away from the beach. I did find the beach loungers to be rather worn and in comparison to the other beach hotels Xaloc was rather tired and worn. The pool decking was a bit precarious and rotting in some places. I did notice that they were painting common areas. If you’re looking for a luxury beach club feel, I would recommend another hotel, but if you are interested in value and plan on spending time exploring the area and not a high emphasis on beach bar vibe then this is a great spot. We spent 500 pesos plus a drink minimum at several other hotels for the vibe. Very few actual beachside loungers. Overall it was a good place without the frills of the newer more upscale hotels. Would stay here again for the proximity to town and the beach. But luxury it is not. House keeping was excellent. No in room safe.

All in all was fine, but the pool bar was never open and the beach area was not the best.
2.0 / 10.0
The people were very kind and the room was clean. But other then that..I would not recommend staying here. The beds are as hard as wooded boards. The toilet seat was broken. Lights did not work in room and the pools were not clean. I was very disappointed for such a highly rated hotel. Very disappointed overall
3.0 / 10.0
The property itself was nice, was I was dissatisfied was the lack of entertainment to be, an adults only hotel. Bar was closed and the beach lounge area looked isolated. Room was clean and bed were clean and comfortable; however, the toilet didn’t flush well.
3.0 / 10.0
Cute place with scenic views with a lot of potential, except upon arrival they did not have the amenities shown online. I specifically wanted a place with restaurants/bars that they advertised and they had neither…. So paying that price for just a room was disappointing.

Hotel itself and location were superb as was the free breakfast but it was a pain to be without wi fi and it was actually 10 minutes from the city centre so a few unecessary white lies in their Expedia description

I loved the Island very beautiful. My room was very nice except for the beds and the AC. Bed was super firm and the AC didn’t get the room cold. The food was amazing I tried different places and they were all good.

Horrible. False advertisement and what was stated as "have" was not fully available. We did not get the room we spent more money on to get, could not swim in the pool because it was filthy, pool bar was not available to use. Ended up leaving day 1.

On our first night they gave us a 2 bed room, we had booked a king bed. They told me that they couldn’t change the room till the next day. The bathroom didn’t work well either. The next morning they gave us a different room after someone else had checked out. Great location

I booked 2 rooms for 1 night at hollbox and we arrived at 9 pm . Left our luggage and went for dinner right away. We went back to our rooms at midnight just to find out our room wasnt prepared in the sense that pillows has no pillow cases covers, very dusty , no soap and shampoo available and to find out that the shower was clogged up , it was flooded after we took the shower. I tried to call the front desk as there was no one around at midnight and shockingly the phone wasnt working.So we didnt really get a goodnight sleep. I complaint the next day to the manager and he took pics the clogged shower , uncovered pillows , showed him no soap and shampoo and the dusty rooms etc etc. He just advised us to file complain with expedia. It was such a bad experience and terrible customer service !!!
