Hotel Ak'Na Holbox

En realidad me dieron otro alojamiento xq iban a estar en refacciones. El cambio fue excelente. Estoy muy agradecida

velmi hezké ubytování a snaživý personál který nám vyhověl ve všem

nakonec jsme bydleli v Soho-Holbox protože to co jsme si zarezervovali bylo neobyvovatelné a podle fotek absolutně nepravdivé

Goede prijs-kwaliteit verhouding, aangezien je erg weinig betaalt voor op Isla Holbox. Verder werd ik goed geholpen toen er iets mis was met de douche. Volgende ochtend werd dit al gerepareerd. Daarnaast werd ik geholpen met activiteiten plannen.

De receptie-man appte mij uiteindelijk met zijn privé-nummer, terwijl er ook een nummer was van het hotel zelf, wat ik al raar vond. Hij stelde heel veel vragen wat niet met het hotel te maken had, best vervelend al. Uiteindelijk vroeg hij of ik samen met hem wat wilde eten. Ik vind dit NOT DONE. Super onprofessioneel. Daarnaast ben ik een vrouw alleen op reis. Hierdoor voel ik mij totaal onveilig. Ik hoop dat deze recensie duidelijk maakt dat je dit niet kan doen bij gasten, en al helemaal niet bij een vrouw alleen. Ik voelde mij heel het verblijf niet veilig. Nogmaals, dit hoort niet te kunnen!! Daarnaast, toen ik aankwam lag er een dode kakkerlak in de douche. Ook lag er een dode kakkerlak in het zeepbakje.

Increíble lugar para descansar a unos pasos de la playa

Amazing staff and beautifully cleaned every day. Great area in a quieter part of the island but great restaurants around

It’s a bit tired, but you get what you’re paying for. Cheap by Holbox standards so can’t complain.

We loved the staff, Nicole and Suemy were awesome! They went out of their way to help us with information, calling taxi, fresh towels and recommendations. Our room was on the third floor surrounded by native trees and birds and we even had a balcony completely enclosed with mosquito screen (so actually usable) and a hammock. The location was great, just one block from the beach and close to a very nice restaurant (La Cabane).

You need to adjust your expectations, it is a simple hotel that covers all the basics without frills or a lot of amenities. The mattress was so-so and the room is small, but if you only come home to shower, rest and sleep and spend most of the time outdoors enjoying paradise, this should be OK. This hotel could use a little updating and sprucing up, but otherwise it is OK. Bring repellent and ear plugs for added comfort.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel but it might be too “rustic” for some people. It’s definitely a case of you get what you pay for! You will need to take a taxi from the ferry which costs 200 pesos. Pros Really friendly woman checked us in. She was very helpful and gave us tips for local restaurants and the number of the taxi company so we could book a taxi back to the ferry when we left. She also offered to look after our bags after check out if we needed it (we didn’t as we left the island in the morning). She also allowed us to store our milk and water in the fridge in their kitchen (there isn’t a fridge in the room, but there is a kettle) which was kind. Good air-con and there was a ceiling fan. Inexpensive accommodation – Holbox can be quite pricey for accommodation.

Cons The hotel is a 15-20 minute walk from the main town. We didn’t have hot water the first day. We told reception and they said they would fix this – the next time we used the shower, the water was lukewarm but still not hot, and it stayed lukewarm for the rest of our stay. The bath is painted concrete (I think) and a lot of the paint was chipped off (see photo), so it feels quite grimy. There are mosquito nets on all of the windows but we still had mosquitos in the room every day, despite being careful to quickly close the bedroom & balcony door when entering/exiting the room. The windows in the room (not the balcony doors) just have wooden slats but no glass so noise from the street comes in – and there is constant traffic/music/people being loud throughout the night. Bring earplugs! The wifi was quite slow (and you need wifi as I couldn’t get a phone signal on Holbox – I had roaming with my UK phone and could use it everywhere else in Mexico but nowhere in Holbox) The bed was comfortable, but was suspended on ropes, so every time you moved/turned over, it rocked the bed, waking the other person We were in room 13. Looking at the building from the outside, it seemed that all the other rooms had a hammock on their balcony apart from ours (but that wasn’t a big deal). When we came back one evening (around 8pm I think), the entrance to the hotel was padlocked. We managed to wiggle through the gap to get in. No one had told us this could happen. We later worked out we could enter/exit via the back entrance, but I don’t know why the front was padlocked. (The receptionist had told us that reception would be unstaffed most of the time because it was low-season but she did give us two numbers to call/text if we needed help) On our first morning, the cleaners were blaring music at 8am while they worked which woke us up.
