    Excellent luxury stay on Isla Holbox

    Villas Flamingos is located almost at the very end of the string of hotels on the island. This means that it's very quiet, but also that you'll probably want to call a taxi to go into town (otherwise it's a 25-30 minute walk). Not a negative, but just something to know.

    My friend and I were looking for a relaxing, upscale spot to stay on Isla Holbox, and Villas Flamingos definitely delivered! The rooms and facilities are really nice, but it's really the staff that makes Villas Flamingos so special. Nothing was too much to ask. The restaurant is also incredible; we figured we'd be going into town for most meals, but we ended up eating at least 2 (and sometimes) 3 meals a day at Mangle. The pools, sand, and beach chairs were well looked-after, too.

    The room need a bit more of night light. The bar beside the front desk doesn't go according to the size of the hotel, to small and just in the corridor to the access of the rooms.

    Very friendly staff, food a bit on the expensive side but really good. It has access to the nicest beach in Holbox, you can walk to Punta Mosquito. Our room was spacious and comfortable.

    In general, the staff wasn’t really welcoming. As we asked for simple things, like that our water cups be changed after a few days in, they treated it as a “favor” for us. Given the cost of the hotel, one would have expected a more efficient (and kinder) service.

    The hotel is located in the nicest beach area of Holbox — less crowded and less seaweed. The ground and pools are quite nice, but some maintenance would be welcome (tiles coming off the bottom of the pool, for example). The breakfast is very good.

    There wasn’t a great vibe at night because the bar area is very small so you do need to leave the hotel to get any of that atmosphere. They put quite a big mark up on trips and excursions.

    The locations was the perfect distance from town so it was exclusive but not miles away. It was so quiet and relaxing to be away from the crowds on the main beach. The architecture was insane, they did such a good job of making it feel like you were cosy but in the elements. Ivan from guest services was brilliant!!

    lots of mosquitos , the roads around the hotel and in general could be improved, they have massive potholes filled with muddy water all the time... Not fun lol but we made it work with the bicycles. There's no tea bags in the room

    Excellent staff, room with ocean view, food , customer service...we had bikes Included too! The place is mesmerising! The beach side is cleaned daily in the morning. It's very peaceful. .

    Very Nice Stay in a Special Location

    We had a serious problem with construction noise for two nights, even after notifying the hotel reception on the first night of the incident, the problem repeated itself once again. Manager Ivan was kind enough to understand the seriousness of the problem and managed to address it in the correct way, which completely changed our perception of the team's professionalism (initially affected by more than one warning about our problem without an immediate solution). We therefore treated this incident as something isolated, which did not affect our intention to evaluate this stay well. A valid point of improvement would be the speed of service from the waiters at the adult pools: they rarely showed up there and when they took orders they were slow to return (you can easily solve this by creating a WhatsApp for the waiters and giving the number to guests).

    The hotel is relatively far from the center (~20 min walk), but its location is totally worth it when you take into account that it is in front of the beautiful Playa Holbox and that you can walk with water on your shins to Punta do Mosquito . Breakfast is a la carte without boring limitations with a wide variety of delicious dishes. It's a worthwhile stay!

    Only complaint was having to waive down the waiter while I was in the pool to come and take my order as he assisted people sitting right beside the pool area.

    I loved the location, cleanliness and staff. I had an incident where I dropped my phone in the pool. I quickly went to the restaurant where a girl came out and helped me to download an app (high frequency sound) to help get the water out. I didn’t get her name but I was so thankful she took the time to help 🙏🏼 Ivan was my host and he was always available through What’s App. I’d also have to include how nice it was to be greeted each morning for breakfast by Daniella. She always had a smile on her face😁 All and all, the entire staff went above and beyond their job duties to make us feel welcome. I can’t wait to go back. Ps… room 14 had one of the BEST views!!

    More expensive than other hotels on the island. But worth it in my opinion.

    Amazing stay. Room and beds were very clean and comfortable. Food was delicious. Many options to choose from. Breakfast really exceeded my expectations. Staff were very friendly and room service was very prompt everyday. Beach view was amazing. Water was crystal clear. Quiet at night as it was at the end of the hotel zone.

    Beautiful beachfront hotel in a quiet part of the island with a superb breakfast

    We could hear the occasional noise of the super turbo golf buggies that dash around the island when in the bedroom, but that stopped around 11pm. And the hotel is about a mile out from the main town - while this wouldn't usually be a problem, all the roads had flooded and become a slick of mud and water (a problem throughout Holbox), which meant you had to either wade through mud or wade through the sea (for a minute) if you wanted to get into town by walking. We visited during the rainy season - my sister who went when it was dry had no experience of the mud, so it depends on the time you visit. But again - you will most likely have the mud problem wherever you stay and it didn't affect us at all once we were in the hotel and its grounds

    Villa Flamingos was a brilliant luxury hotel in Isla Holbox. It's one of the few that doesn't have a road running between the hotel and it's beach space, which gave it a sense of peace and quiet. We had a beach view room and there was a lovely balcony that had a daybed and chairs, perfect for chilling out. The beach space of the hotel is a little small but there are plenty of sun loungers dotted throughout the ground and access to the sea. Breakfast was absolutely excellent, there are smoothies, oat bowls, cooked options - it filled us up so much, we barely needed lunch

    Not a problem with the hotel but the mosquitos. Also lots of other animals like scorpions and geckos were around the terrace of the room (Again not problem with the hotel it is a very natural environment). A gecko made its way into our room and we decided to live with it for the reminder of our stay since it is harmless. Just things to be aware. Hotel location is a bit towards the very end so a bit further away to cycle to center.

    The room was amazing, bed was huge and comfy, the shower very stylish, decoration was stylish, it had great views. There is exceptional breakfast at the property. Had enough sun beds for everyone. Plenty of towels. The hotel gives free bikes so you can cycle to the center. It is very easy to walk from the hotel to the mosquito point since it is directly across the sandbank. The wi-fi was very reliable, reading other reviews I thought it wouldn't be good, was reliable even when it was pouring rain. They also have a concierge that you can chat through WhatsApp for information on tours and other things. All in all was a great hotel to enjoy Isla Holbox.

    Some features were a bit outdated and needed some repairs/upgrades.

    The location is excellent. A bit away from the main town, which is great because it’s a lot more calm and relaxing. The free bikes are a fantastic perk and allow you to explore the island at your leisure. The beach is incredible and the view from the room was beautiful. There is a private beach out front and free paddle board rentals to cruise the calm water. The free breakfast was delicious! Multiple courses, endless coffee, juices, and a la carte menu with tasty options. We were stuffed every morning.

    only thing that would make it excellent is a shaded area in the pool to cool down. rooms could do with sound proofing as you can hear echoey steps from above and blow but it’s also an island so it’s alright
