Flamingos and pelicans and herons…oh my! Holbox Island is beloved by bird nerds for its population of exotic avian life. Perched near the Yucatan Peninsula, the island is also a hot spot for whale shark viewing, and kiteboarders love the shallow waters and wide beaches. The white sand streets are relatively unspoiled, as most tourists prefer to party it up in nearby Cancun. A splash in Yalahao Lagoon is about as loco as it gets.

Mystique Blue Holbox, a contemporary, luxurious, and exquisite boutique beachfront resort, is located on the exotic Island of Holbox. This small paradisiac 26-mile island is within the protected Yum Balam nature reserve at the north of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
My mom and I stayed a week here and it far exceeded our expectations. The hotel is simple and classic with elegant touches. The room was very comfortable, the the view of the ocean from the balcony was a nice touch. The rooftop terrace wasn't as useful as I'd hoped. There were a few families with young children, but the vibe was very adult oriented which was a plus. Great food and drink. I would highly recommend and we will be back. This is a solid 4 star property with luxurious touches. A nice upgrade in Holbox.

Welcome to Holboxdream, your second home on Holbox Island. The main objective of our hotel is to make your visit as relaxing and enjoyable as possible, which is the reason so many Ambassadors (guests) keep coming back year after year. The rooms include air conditioning, free internet, ceiling fan, a private bathroom with shower and organic honey, aloe and oatmeal amenities, so you can enjoy your rest with comfort. We want the whole family to experience a tropical escape, so your pets are welcome with an additional cost! Enjoy the beach club with access to the sea, sun umbrellas, restaurant and bar or relax in our pool.
First the location, the beach and the room are nice. But for the price, we could expect a less basic breakfast and warm water in the shower. Also we paid extra fee for a room with large balcony and jacuzzi that we cannot use because of the raccoons. It is messy and dirty all the time even if the hotel cleans. We can understand it is an island problem but since we cannot use it they should not charge people for the balcony ! It is just a rip off and false advertisement.

The Beachfront Hotel La Palapa is a romantic hotel for adults only that is located on Holbox Island in the Yucatan Peninsula, Gulf of Mexico. We offer an incomparable setting with 25 comfortable rooms at literally feet away from the white sandy beach and tourquoise water. The Beach Bar with lounge chairs and hammocks allows to relax on the quiet beach.
What can I say about hotel LaPalapa? Being that I made my third trip to Holbox, I did not hesitate to reserve here and know everything will go above and beyond expected. Was here in May for 6 nights and everything went flawlessly, the breakfasts were all amazing, the attention that Facundo and staff gave us was on point and he very charming. Everyone is always with a smile. You can tell these people like to work here. All our days were sunny and very warm, as most days, we had the beach all to ourselves. There was no zargazo (seaweed) but yes some type of sea-grass which was minimal. The sunsets as always, amazing to watch and did not miss any of them, just be aware , once that sun goes down, the mosquitoes come out. Rocio in the reception area was so nice and super helpful with all my inquiries, as the other staff members that I could not remember there names. (So sorry).- The room was huge and was cleaned daily by the cleaning staff and always with a surprise placement of the towels in different ocean related themes. A very nice touch. There was some loud music coming from the Hot Corner bar I suspect, but for me , it was tolerable, it wasn’t crazy loud. And it wasn’t every night. I can deal with that. I can’t recommend this hotel enough, it is an adults only hotel, just to have that in mind. So try to keep this a secret, but from what I saw, the word is out, since I noticed more people and more new places opening up. That special “island charm” it used to have is slowly dying away, which is sad to see. Hopefully it won’t kill off Holbox like the crowds in Tulum and Playa. Still, I’m already looking forward to my next trip to this beautiful island, it’s people, food, sunsets and the hospitality of hotel LaPalapa. Enjoy .-

The service was the best on the island in our experience. We were Received with smiles and Ezer hands down makes the best drinks! Ezer, Roman, Jesus, Josmar, Angel were all amazing and made us feel welcome (which was not something we came across very often on the island, a lot of foreigners working on the island). These guys were amazing. I’ll only come back here and truly it’s the service that made this experience. Great beach club, great service! Delicious drinks. Best views.
