Mystique Holbox by Royalton, A Tribute Portfolio Resort

Excellent small boutique-ish hotel which is either really new, or very well maintained. One reaches Holbox from the toll road Cancun/Merida and then for the most part a 35 miles stretch of a non toll, yet good road to the little harbor town of Chiquila. In Chiquila you leave your car at one of the many parking places close to the ferry and you board one of these ferries which depart every 30 min. While the road to Chiquila was really good and easy, the last mile is one to pay good attention and slow down due to pot holes and for the last 150 yards you need to add a small silent prayer that the puddles are not way deeper then they look (car in front of us got pretty dented). HOWEVER once you get to Holbox you are in a different world; relaxed, beautiful sandy beach and perfect laid back vibe At the Mystique Holbox we had a bright very spacious room with an enormous balcony with direct sea view. Nice little pool (does not need to be big for this size hotel) and direct beach access with plenty of loungers, a good bar (shout out to Hector !) and towel service. Food choices for lunch is good, for breakfast could be better. For dinner we ate at other places, as the island has many restaurant options which can all be easily reached on foot (sandy roads :) ) Hotel offers room keys through a little bracelet around your wrist, so you never forget your key, as well as you can easily give your kid(s) a key as well without fear of them loosing they key either; nice touch. Would certainly come back at this hotel, but I do hope Holbox as a whole can maintain its laid back charm (and I also hope that access road in harbor Chiquila will be improved).

This Resort was beautiful, peaceful and the workers made us feel like family. The Resort is a great location, it is walking distance to the center of the island. The beach restaurant has good drinks and food. Request to have Hector as your waiter he is amazing!!
