We loved our stay here. The facilities and room are in perfect condition and the staff has great attention to detail. They have a sense for sustainability and urge the guests to participate.
I think this place is an absolute hidden gem! I had stayed on a beach front hotel for 10 days and it was good. However it was a family hotel so the noise wasn't great for me as a solo traveller. Additionally once I got into the rooms of Tierra Del Mar i realised the absolute step up in class. It says this is a 3 star hotel, in terms of the service, and the quality of the whole place, it is way above this! I like most people go on and choose the hotel on the sea front and I did this for the previous one. I was just fortunate to walk past one day and looked in through the small door. Its an absolute gem and perfect at just 8 rooms. So super intimate. The location to the beach is literally a 1-2 minute walk and its energy is perfect in comparison to what can be a busier beach. Breakfast options weren't many but there are so many good cafes within a few minutes it made no difference at all to me. Also the staff i have to say were exceptional, amazing local recommendations for food and just couldn't do enough for you. I don't write too many recommendations considering i've been travelling round the world the last year and have stayed at in excess of 60 places.. This is in my top 4 of the whole trip!
We stayed at Tierra Del Mar for 4 days to celebrate my birthday. It was even better than I imagined. The property is beautiful and the staff were so kind. Isra made sure that our stay was comfortable and gave us recommendations for places to eat and sit at the beach. We loved lounging by the pool and the rooms were so lovely. The hammocks are a great place to take an afternoon nap. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Holbox. We will be back as soon as we can!
Everything just feels right here – a little oasis in a great central location. The property and the rooms are beautiful, lovingly furnished and decorated. There aren’t many rooms, so it feels pleasantly private and personal. The hosts are friendly and you immediately feel well taken care of. We felt completely comfortable and would come back anytime.
Tho hotel was perfectly small and quiet and the rooms were beautiful. It’s perfectly placed for walking anywhere you need to go. There is a bike hire place just around the corner and lots of options for breakfast and dinner. The beach is beautiful. The pool area is great we had it to ourselves whenever we used it. The staff work tirelessly to keep the place spotless. A couple of things you should know before booking, the toilet/shower is not enclosed in its own room, so you really need to be comfortable with the person you are sharing with. There is no fridge which we would have found useful but you can get chilled and filtered water from reception. Thanks for a great stay!
Another really lovely hotel on our trip. Very comfortable beds, very clean rooms and good pool. It has only 8 rooms which makes it very quiet. Less than 2 minute walk to beach and very convenient for bars and restaurants. Two blocks of 4 rooms situated in very nice gardens Helpful staff and recommend using them to book onward transfer at very competitive prices.
I have been to Holbox so many times. And I was SO IMPRESSED with this hotel. The comfort & set up & decor of the rooms - functional and comfortable and beautiful. The entire hotel is manicured and decorated to perfection. The managers and employees were so nice and helpful. The pool and hang areas are so comfy and beautiful. You can tell this was well thought out and remodeled. The location is perfect, one block to the beach and one block to the center. I am very impressed! Gracias a Blanca y Israel.
I'm a regular to Isla Holbox and this is my favorite place to stay. Isra is a great host who immediately makes you feel welcome and at home. The place itself is a little, quiet heaven in the middle of the island's center. Walking in from the gates and a garden and a quiet, well-kept courtyard welcome you, taking you into its embrace. The rooms are well decorated, clean and comfortable with high quality products in the bathroom. A great location to be near all the restaurants and bars as well as the beach. Bike rental is just around the corner and ferry is only 10 minutes walk away. This is my happy place and I can't wait to be back!
Set a block from Holbox Beach and surrounded by the restaurants of the downtown neighborhood, this laid-back hotel is less than a kilometer from the island's ferry terminal.
