Blue Holbox Beach Front

My Blue Hotel is an excellent place to stay on Holbox. It's about a 15 minute walk to the town on the island, or if you're lazy you can just get an ATV taxi there or to the port. Shower and bathroom great, has two pools (although one was being hastily repaired after Hurricane Milton). Staff are friendly. Stayed here as part of Intro Travel tour of Mexico. The only thing it could do with is a better sign out front than the one facing the hotel and not the dirt road/beach. Walked past this place one night on the way back to town. You're going to need a torch by the way as there aren't really any street lights, to avoid the puddles and potholes full of water.

Blue Holbox is located close to the northern edge- it is about a 20 minute walk from the center of town. My boyfriend and I examined three of the beachfront rooms. Two out of the three rooms were dirty with cockroaches hiding under the pillow and dirt on the sheets. This is understandable given the location, but we would have liked if the rooms were inspected and cleaned properly before we visited. The most irritating part was when we went to pay, Blue Holbox has an arbitrary currency transaction amount. So for instance, we were paying with dollars and they charged us 18.5 pesos per dollar (even though the official rate is 17 pesos per dollars). This is a sneaky way to earn a bit more money and we were shocked at the actions. Apparently the owner will text the currency rate of the day to the staff in the morning and that’s how much they will charge you. This makes it hard to anticipate how much money you will be spending. The breakfast was also very lackluster (potatoes, powdered eggs and lukewarm pancakes) and the hotel staff definitely looked like they had better things to be doing than to be waiting on customers. Even though the location was beautiful, we felt like the atmosphere was far from welcoming and we felt uncomfortable. We would not come again and we encourage others to search for other, more hospitable and sanitary locations to stay in Holbox.

Great place to stay value for money great! Breakfast fantastic in front of sea. Room are nice bathrooms are a little bit basic but still ok. You should go !! Good place for the money…holbox is fantastic experience!!! Go there and rent a bike or golf cart!!
