Avoid this place. Power outages daily, and their generator only powers water. Neighboring hotels have full generators; choose one of them.
There were about 15 things that went wrong during our (Honeymoon) stay, but I'll just stick to the worst:
I made a cup of coffee in the room with the Nespresso machine they provided. I took a sip, and it tasted like alcohol. I had not had a drop of alcohol in over four years. My wife and I are both sober. We told them this when they offered us a welcome drink at check-in. I smelled the tank of the Nespresso, and it smelled like alcohol.
I brought it to the front desk, and an employee working named Irving agreed that it smelled like alcohol. My wife went back up a bit later, and he said that he and the rest of the staff figured out it smelled and tasted like gin.
**
Management refused to speak to us during our entire stay there, instead relaying info through the front desk staff. We told them we drank a lot of coffee and even requested extra Nespresso pods. I am trying not to think that the gin in the tank was intentional because we complained about some issues after we saw our room, but based on how we were treated the rest of our stay, I can't rule it out.
Additionally, the beach club included in the room's cost was covered in seaweed and unswimmable. The staff at the club told us the entire island was inundated. We luckily found out day 2 that Punta Coco had clean beaches, so we spent $100 a day on cabs and chairs elsewhere. Avoid.

Our recent stay at Punta Caliza in Holbox, Mexico was an absolute dream come true. This enchanting hotel left me spellbound with its extraordinary design, breathtaking location, impeccable service, delectable food, and inviting pool. The staff's attentive and personalized approach added an extra touch of magic to the entire experience. Punta Caliza is a true gem that we can't recommend enough and will return again and again!

I’m just getting around to jot down my opinion of this place. Property is ok. Staff was ok. Food was good. We had an issue with the shower. The water wasn’t draining and it smelled awful. Long story short, my husband pulled out the biggest, grossest, smelliest hair ball I have ever seen. When we brought this up to the front desk he told us to send an email to the owner-which we did and never received a reply. Our room also had massive spider webs. The bed was comfortable. There are two robes in each room and one was used and hanging up outside the door to the pool. I can’t remember the young smiley staff who was practicing his English but his vibe was everything. We loved him.

Fantastic place, AMAZING food, wonderful staff and beautiful architecture! Don’t worry about it not being oceanfront. The ocean is a two minute walk away and they have a nice beach club for guests on the beach.

The architecture was what drew me to this property. The beautiful red cedar, the gorgeous lines of the building… it’s so serene and well appointed. The service was also excellent. The front desk/bar staff did double duty but never made you feel like they were too busy to help. They were so friendly and attentive.
I only wish it were warmer when we were there because the pool was super cold and to be honest, didn’t look all that clean during our short stay. I would still stay here again despite the longer trek to Isla Holbox!
Oh, and Siena the hotel dog is so cute and well behaved. We loved having her around at breakfast.

Punta Caliza is absolute paradise in Holbox. We were welcomed by an extremely friendly staff (Cerillo, Brenda and Alex) during a rainstorm, with flowers in our room to commemorate our anniversary and welcome drinks. Our room was beautiful, very clean, quiet, and architecturally brilliant. We enjoyed our delicious morning breakfasts, talks over drinks with the great staff, we even met the owners who were also very friendly and sweet, we'll miss our lunches and late night snacking. The beach is also only a short walk away as well as the center of Holbox and their beach club is amazingly cute! This hotel and its people made our first stay on the island amazing! We highly recommend Punta Caliza to everyone.

WARNING - We stayed at Punta Caliza for 2 days. When arriving at the Hotel we noticed that the pool, which was the main reason we choose this hotel, was dirty. The water was green which is a sign of no chlorine being in the water. Chlorine is essential to keep the water safe and free of dangerous pathogens that make you sick. It is critical to use the correct amount of chemicals, especially in Mexico where they use non-potable water to fill pools and in the main water supply for Holbox Island. After much hesitation I decided to put my feet in the water. I tried to step out of the room where there is a small 4x6 private pool next to each room. I stepped into the water and completely fell in to a 5’ deep pool. There was no step and no warning how deep the pool was. The next day when arriving at the airport I began to feel sick. I had terrible stomach pains. When we arrived back home in the US I had severe diarrhea and vomiting for 7 days.
I emailed the hotel and they very rudely responded that the “pool is safe”. But I know that the pool water was green and I didn’t see any moving water or filtration system working. The photos of Punta Caliza show rooms that are connected to the main pool. I believe the dirty unsanitary pool water made me sick and I had a terrible case of Travelers Diarrhea. Now I have to worry about some parasites growing in my stomach and it will be necessary to take powerful medicine to kill any worms! Photo shows green water and mold growing on walls!

La alberca y el diseño del hotel son maravillosos.Las habitaciones perciben un pelín descuidadas pero me da la impresión que es la humedad.* El agua caliente de la regadera dura 3 minutos para que lo tomen en cuenta y el agua de la alberca es helada.

Over all it was a pleasant stay. Hotel’s beach area is a bit of a walk. Road access to the beach is quite dirty. I would not recommend walking barefooted through that area.Breakfast was good and staff people are nice as well.

It was like a dream. Beautiful room, the staff is super chill & friendly. Well versed in English & Spanish some even Italian. They wander away at times but everyone needs a break. The pool is amazing love being able to just walk out to the pool from my room & back.

First of all, the concept of this hotel makes the stay worth it! with that said- I must say- the owner is not very friendly- there were several times I specifically said good morning or good night with no response- literally on their phone like no one else was around, that seems to be the culture also since another front desk staff member who seems to be very close to the owner (and works the evenings) shares the attitude. With that said, this place has two GEMS of staff members, Alex (who works the mornings) and Martitia, the cook, are so awesome and made our stay as wonderful as it was, taking away the bad experience of the others. Alex is so nice, he will serve breakfast and engage in conversation with everyone, he is very personable and quickly became like a friend of us. Martita is the cook and her food is AMAZING to say the least- we looked forward to breakfast every morning! If you stay here I recommend you eat all your meals here, Martita is no joke a GREAT cook and could make a billion dollars if she opened her own restaurant. She is a great asset to this place.

I really loved our stay at Punta Caliza. The staff were all so fantastic, nice and super helpful. The room, the pool, the dining area/bar, and the exclusive beach bar and beach chairs, the bikes were wonderful. They make a mean mezcal margarita and other mezcal based drinks that really turned me into a fan of mezcal. The only negative was that the WiFi was only available by the pool/dining/ bar area but that was just fine. Good to unplug on vacation anyway! Anyway, our trip was such a unique experience for us. I highly recommend staying at punta caliza. You won’t be disappointed.

Even when I was actually here I couldn't believe that Punta Caliza was real, it's just that incredible. The food and service is amazing but they do lack some of the things you might at more mainstream hotels like mini bars and coffee makers. Why you would make coffee in your room instead of walking the short distance to the bar and getting fresh coffee there is beyond me but I guess some people need all the standard hotel amenities to be happy.
5.0
Thrilled with our stay at Punta Caliza and definitely plan to come back. This place is a gem of a property in a beautiful and relaxing area, I can't recommend it enough. We shared a double as a group of 3 and it was fine, although I'd love to come back with my husband as it is a very romantic hotel and location! Bonus: by staying here, you're supporting a women and family run business.

All round fantastic. We had 2 rooms - for our family of 4 - superb service. We all had an amazing stay. Would return in a heartbeat.
