Hotel is an excellent small boutique Hotel east of the center of town making it more low key which I enjoy. We had the room with the rooftop private palapa, loved it, the hotel is very Boho Chic, service was warm, friendly, attentive and the hotel offers kayaks and bikes. Food was great and overall you feel a great energy and vibe on the property.
Most beautiful room ever with beach view outside tub everything was really gorgeous, very tranquil most tranquil island ever . Food and drinks awesome and presentation was amazing very pricey but the whole island is pricey . While not on mosquito bay is only 7 mins by island taxi that come around often and are available all day and walkable by 22 mins but we
Took taxi to and from for 200 persos about 10 USA dollars .
Great location
Hoping for more beach reclamation next year- esp during high tide.
Wonderful room, view And staff
Especially front desk & Ricardo.
Very responsive
I love this hotel. The decor, service, food, and vibe. The rooms are spacious and just like the pictures. The beds are super comfortable, loved the sheets and duvet. The water pressure is definitely one of the very best in Mexico. The hot water is endless and the rooms are very very clean. Everyone is very pleasant. It’s a quiet hotel which is nice. They accommodate families and couples. We stayed in a Deluxe Room with Ocean View and you can see from the pictures it had a spectacular view of the moon at 6:30 am. The sunset in Holbox is one of the best and you can see it very well from the beach in front of the hotel. You have to check the time and be there before because it happens within a few minutes. And by a few I mean 3 mins when it’s touching down into the water.
This is a newer hotel so it’s on the other side of the island further away from all the older original hotels. The beach isn’t quite as nice as the strip just before Punta Mosquito but it’s one of the only nice hotels on the waterfront and you can walk to the part of the beach you like the most. Holbox is totally walkable so I’d stay here again over the older hotels. Great experience!
I have stayed in 5 hotels in Holbox, this is the best by far!! Hotel is Beautiful, Best Service in the Island!! Food and drinks are Amazing!
We had a blast!

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Food was good, the workers were awesome. Only thing is the pools are very dirty as if nobody cleans them.
This is a gorgeous hotel will excellent service. Their beach club was beautiful and had plenty of seating, including cabana use for guests. Carlos took great care of us every day along with the rest of the staff. We felt so pampered! Food and drinks were so fresh and delicious, nothing like the mega resorts in Cancun. Holbox is still a developing area so be patient with the property as they work through the maintenance difficulties, though we were always comfortable despite some small hiccups with the water that they addressed efficiently and quickly.
The staff was absolutely amazing! The food was incredible..everything tastes fresh. The hotel staff made our room incredibly clean each day. Our only disappointment was how firm the beds were. It was very difficult to get comfortable and have a good nights sleep. Other than the bed I would give everything a 5 star rating.
This is an instagram trap. The property is covered in flies and smells of sewer. If you go to the resorts closer to the city center, we didn’t smell or see this. The reservations team is also incredibly hard to get answers from regarding transports, if you get them at all. Also, there is NO beach there, the photos make it look like there is but that’s at very low tide and you don’t see how many sharp little shells there are, definitely not a sandy area. I could go on and on but very much catfished on this one. I wouldn’t stay anywhere that far down in the island again.
We loved our stayed at AWA. all the staff members were very friendly and willing to help with any request.
The hotel is beautiful. We enjoyed the pool at ground level. The rooftop has an amazing view of the island and is great to have a drink at the bar there or swim while watching the sunset.
The food at the beachfront restaurant Fuego is delicious,we had breakfast, lunch, and dinner once during the stay. We loved every dish, drink and cocktail we ordered. Just be aware that the food is a bit pricey, but nothing too far from the average in the island.
The room was clean and confortable. We felt it was quite and safe at the property.
The hotel is around 20 minutes walking from the main town area where all restaurants and shops are. For us it wasn't a deal breaker and we walk there several times each day. However it can be a bit much for some people and taking a taxi every time could be a bit expensive.
The only downside is that around the hotel there are some lots where there is a it of trash. Thus is not the hotel's fault but it does influence the perception of guests.
Overall we would highly recommend this hotel for someone that likes to be a bit more secluded from everything around downtown.
We especially loved the staff! The infinity pool was really cool and the rooftop as well. Our room was so nice, it was so great waking up looking out at the ocean every morning.
