The hotel’s decor is stunning, featuring unique nest-shaped light fixtures, thoughtfully curated found objects, and relaxing music that enhances the ambiance. The property itself is beautiful, tastefully designed, and offers a sense of privacy. Its location is ideal, just a 5-minute walk to the beach and 10 minutes from a prime spot to watch the sunset. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hammocks, which added to the overall tranquility. While the hotel lacks a hot tub, it would be an amazing addition if the owner is considering upgrades! We dined at the hotel for both dinner and breakfast, and the meals were of high quality and reasonably priced. A note for future guests: bring cash (Mexican pesos, US dollars, or euros) in various denominations, including small and large bills. Despite being a cash-only property, the hotel often doesn’t have change available for transactions or the ability to exchange USD for pesos. While this is a bit inconvenient, it’s worth being prepared. That said, this observation doesn’t detract from the overall experience or our rating—it’s simply a friendly tip for fellow travelers.

We had high hopes, but the trip was a disaster. Literally covered from head to toe in mosquito bites. No way to leave the property in foot without getting shredded with bites and dodging mosquito infested waters. Great pity. Franco tried his best, but it was hopeless.

El Nido is a lovely boutique hotel in Holbox, away from the hustle and bustle of the island. The pool is lovely and the hotel has a really nice decor, with spacious rooms. I really enjoyed the quietness of the place, especially in the evenings! One thing to flag is that is a bit away from the centre of the island, so you either have to walk or take taxis (around 200 pesos per taxi) which is a bit inconvenient at times. The closest beach is 5 minutes away at Punta Coco however if you want to go to other beaches, is a bit of a walk

The hotel itself was very quiet and well appointed. Large rooms and everything worked well. Staff was lovely and breakfast was very nice. I tend to get up early the staff brought me coffee before the 8am breakfast time. Only real disappointed was the golf cart rental. We rented a golf cart for several days and the hotel charged much more for it than if we rented directly. We also asked if we could rent on for less than a 24 hour period. We were told that was the min time...found out we could have rented for a shorter time period.

El Nido Staff were warm, caring, friendly, & so helpful with suggestions & local knowledge. making suggestions for us to explore on our own which we love to do. They were also available and willing to arrange any and every detail (which they handled with perfect, ease-filled results) . Breakfast & afternoon snacks & drinks were prepared with great attention to our special allergy needs & preferences. Fresh individually prepared Breakfasts included. Full restaurant services were not available when we were there. Surroundings were elegant AND comfortable & casual, a superb combination! The pool was sparkling, the grounds hand groomed,. Rooms tended with care. This intimate boutique hotel is our idea of Aaaah! We loved the location, quiet & serene.

A gem!
Decided to splurge and stay for two nights at El Nido. It was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. It is in a very quiet spot (we did have to traverse a few big puddles to get there after the big flood the week before) but soooooo worth it. Although off the beaten path there were some accessible restaraunts a short walk up the beach. Breakfast was tasty, staff friendly, drinks from the bar good! Overall would highly recommend! Was the highlight of our trip to Mexico. Will dream of our return one day!

I loved this property, beautiful design, clean, friendly and welcoming staff. It’s a short walk from a beach that looks wild - which I appreciated. The staff was friendly and helpful. Also, unlike the properties downtown that blast loud music that no human should be exposed to-you could actually get good sleep at this hotel as it’s in a peaceful location.

We booked a balcony room, but upon initially seeing it we felt it lacked some basic hotel amenities I would expect for the price, including a full length mirror, fridge and desk w/chair. The staff were great at relocating us to a patio room that had the above amenities (except the fridge). We unfortunately arrived to rain storms, and Holbox isn’t well equipped for this type of weather. Nearly every road in the town flooded making travel around the island very difficult and expensive. El Nido is around a 25min walk into the centre of town but with the flooding, the walk was much more difficult and taxis were reluctant/refused to take us to and from the hotel. Another qualm was the food. Whilst breakfast was good, we had lunch there. We felt it was below average and very expensive for what it was. We previously ate at Nomad (a 15min walk) where the food was far superior and more affordable. My final issue is with their payment facilities, they only accepted cash, whilst Holbox has a reputation for cash only, we actually found that every other restaurant or beach club we visited accepted cards. The cash only policy is out-dated. The review might sound harsh, but let me assure you that every other element of our stay was great. The staff were helpful and kind, the rooms cleanliness was spotless and pool facilities were great. We also appreciated the quietness and privacy of our room. A couple improvements could make El Nido an exceptional stay.

Remote and peaceful with wonderful staff
A peaceful, immaculately designed and decorated retreat with a highly attentive and welcoming staff, good food, and excellent lounging and pool spaces. Staff constantly checked in on us to make sure we were cared for, and the breakfasts were wonderful — coffee, fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries, and a selection of made-to-order plates. We also had a quick lunch before checking out that was tasty. Rooms are minimalist but had all of the necessities, including great fans and AC units. The pool and lounge areas were a real highlights for sure — great vibes for relaxing, reading, and hanging out, just bring or buy some bug spray. Some important to note things about hotel location and the island in general: the hotel is located in a more remote area of the island, so it’s super peaceful and serene with easy access to the bioluminescence bay, but it takes some work to get into town — either a 10-15 min walk or slightly shorter by side-by-side taxi (~250MXN one way). This also means there are more bugs, mosquitos especially, but the staff offers bug spray for purchase. It had rained the day before we arrived, so many of the roads had 4-12” deep puddles spanning the entire width which made walking to town challenging. Good hikers or heavy duty water shoes like Chacos would be great to have.

By far our favorite hotel in Mexico during our two week road trip. Perfect service, with a lot of attention to detail, from raking sand throughout property to fluffing pool cushions, the team makes this a perfect little oasis away from the hustle of town. This leads to my only improvement suggestion - room rates should come with free bike rental included, which they currently charge at 300$ per person per day! Given the distance from town, you dont really have any other option.
