Hotels on Isla Holbox
This article contains affiliate links. What does that mean?
There is a wide range of hotels on the island. Depending on your budget and personal preferences, you will find everything from cheap to expensive, simple or exclusive, secluded or centrally located, quiet or lively. Only all-inclusive hotels are hard to find. That would be a shame, because there are countless restaurants with a wonderful selection in Holbox.
Booking Options
Apart from a few special offers, there are hardly any package deals available for Holbox so far. Most hotels are listed on Booking.com or Expedia and many have their own websites where you can inquire or book directly.
Tip: If you are planning a longer stay on Holbox Island and book directly through the hotel’s website, be sure to ask for a discount. It can be worth it!
On the other hand, if you book through the hotel’s own website, there are usually stricter cancellation policies and a deposit is often required to protect against last-minute cancellations. If you want to book your hotel well in advance, it may be a little more expensive, but it is also safer to book through Booking.com. There are usually no advance fees, and you can often cancel at the last minute for free.
Classification of Hotels
Achieving a comparable classification of Mexico’s hotels is anything but easy. For many years, the country has been trying to create a uniform classification system, but the effort has been thwarted by the difficulty of implementing the rules and the lack of adherence to them. As in many other areas, strict regulations in Mexico are seen more as guidelines with a lot of room for interpretation, and are handled accordingly.
Nevertheless, to give you a good overview of recommendable hotels on Isla Holbox, we have divided the best of them into basic hotels in the lower price range, mid-range hotels with good value for money, boutique hotels and luxury hotels in the upper price range.
