Holbox By Xaloc - A beachfront eco-hotel with Mayan-style bungalows, two pools, and whale shark encounters

Holbox By Xaloc is a small eco-friendly hotel featuring traditional Mayan-style bungalows with thatched roofs, air conditioning, and private terraces with hammocks. The property includes two outdoor pools, a spa offering massages and reflexology, and Maja'che Restaurant serving fresh seafood, including lobster and grilled specialties. Located steps from the beach, guests can swim with whale sharks (seasonal) or explore nearby Punta Coco Beach (2 miles) and Holbox Island's sand streets (0.5 miles). The hotel provides complimentary Wi-Fi, concierge services, and bike rentals for island exploration. A beach bar serves cocktails, and romantic dinners can be arranged on the sand.

Pros

The beachfront location offers direct access to white sandy beaches and seasonal whale shark encounters.

Maja'che Restaurant features fresh seafood, including grilled lobster with garlic butter sauce.

The spa provides treatments like reiki and aromatherapy massages in a tranquil setting.

Private Mayan-style bungalows include terraces with hammocks and garden or sea views.

Cons

Some bungalows lack ocean views due to their garden or poolside placement.

The island's remote location requires a ferry transfer from Chiquila (no direct road access).
