“Very enjoyable stay here. Decent size room and bathroom with good shower and quality toiletries. Fancy towel arrangements on arrival. Comfortable bed and storage space. No fridge. Nice pool and lounges. Simple breakfast with enough variety for a short stay but limited if you are (egg free) vegetarian. Cold water refill available in reception. Located on busy street with restaurants and cafes, port at one end and beach the other.”

“Our room's meticulous attention to detail impressed us immensely. The Estrella accommodated our family of three comfortably, featuring a loft where our teenage son slept and a downstairs area for us. The natural decor, characterized by an abundance of trees and plants, fostered a peaceful atmosphere. This hotel embodied a hidden gem, providing a secluded paradise. Breakfast was superb, and the adjacent coffee shop offered added convenience. For late-night snacks, we frequented the nearby market. The beach and dinner establishments were within walking distance, making our stay thoroughly enjoyable.”

“The hotel is in a perfect central location—close to all amenities, the beach, and the ferry, making it super convenient to explore Holbox. The design is good, with beautiful natural wood and stone elements that create a cozy, tropical atmosphere. The property is very well maintained and spotless, and the mid-sized pool is a great spot to cool off. However, a few small things could be improved. If you're a light sleeper, be aware that the large window in the room has no blinds, so an eye mask is a must unless you’re an early riser. The bathroom setup is also a bit unusual—the toilet room has thin wooden stick door instead of a proper door, which affects privacy. Similarly, the main entrance door has a glass panel with light curtains, so we had to use a towel for extra coverage. Only hand soap was provided, with no shower gel, which would have been a nice touch. Breakfast wasn't anything special, and can also be improved. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to those looking for a stylish and centrally located hotel in Holbox. A few minor adjustments would make it even better!”

“Very nice rooms. Good service. We were upgraded which I was really nice. However the internet is a big minus. It’s not that the internet is slow on the island or even in the hotel, but it’s super unstable. It kicks you out of the WiFi constantly. Please have some IT specialist look over it. For people that need the internet, it’s a big pain point and might be a reason for them not to book the hotel. Otherwise super nice.”

“This hotel was our first stay during a long holiday across Mexico and we still think it was one of the best we've had. The rooms were spacious and tastefully designed, the pool was nice and the breakfast delicious. It's in a lively neighbourhood but not too noisy. During our stay I had an accident on the steps of the hotel and the staff and owner helped me the entire night getting me and my son the care we needed from a local hospital. This is what hospitality is all about, thanks for all the great care.”
