The rooms were very comfortable, and the design was beautiful. The pool was a perfect place the cool off. The staff were very attentive and helpful, and helped us organise transportation to/from Cancun. The air conditioner was great, and the hotel had lots of places to hang out/read. The location was out of the way from the centre and beach so it was quiet, but still only a short walk into town.

Alcobas del Mar cant be more beautiful ! It is also super centric. Staff (as in the rest of the island) are the most helpful and friendly people ! Bikes are ready for rent and with them you can travel the entire island. Yoga classes and a Beach Club are also a plus.

The pool is in the shade and was freezing. Hot water a bit hit and miss. Would have been good if minibar was stocked as there’s no hotel on site.

“Overrated hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 4 nights
Hotels interior is nice, but that's the only thing that's fancy about this hotel. The facilities are poor, bed is very small, rooms are moist, showers are cold and have very small amount of water. We had to remove vermin in the room and when we had an emergency during the night, the security guard/receptionist was nowhere to be found. A lot of money for what you actually get.
Staff was friendly and tried to make the best of it, interior looks nice.

“Simple, clean, chic stay.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 3 nights
Our room had a lot of mosquitos, as did our friends staying in other rooms. It'd be good if they had Mosquito nets over the beds. The shower was pretty terrible. It basically didn't give hot water, suggested you might be electrocuted if you touched the shower head and pretty much trickled cold water (impossible for hair washing!). The room was also quite dark until it caught the afternoon sun through a tiny window.
The hotel was very good value for money especially during high season compared to the beach side hotels. Next to being on the beach, the location was great. Only a short walk to the water and the main square. The aesthetic is nice, and the staff were fantastic - they're probably the highlight. The British girl at check-in was lovely, and the two guys that work the desk are awesome too. Nothing was too much trouble. They helped us organise everything from transfers to taxis, to dinner and bar recommendations, buggy hire, umbrellas for the beach and more. Fabulous service. They also offer tea and coffee which is a nice touch, and there's a cute deck to chill out on.

“Disappointing”

The shower didn’t work properly, the pressure in the water was very weak, and it didn’t have hot water. The WiFi was nonexistent. We were told by it was slow but it never worked took like 5 minutos to load a page. The toilet didn’t flush properly. These are basic things. Friends in other hotels for the lower price had a better experience that.
To be honest, it was pretty average don’t have anything to say.

“Disappointing and insulting.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
1. The hotel - emailed- to obtain full prepayment for our stay indicating that our booking (confirmed online through Booking.com) could be cancelled if we did not furnish complete payment in advance via PayPal. In addition to being unusual and in conflict with Booking.com policy, the time / energy expended resolving this - incl. long distance calls to Mexico - was a stressful precursor to a holiday. It would be advisable to revise this policy; it caused unnecessary expense & inconvenience. 2. Alcobas del Mar is USD200+ approx per night. This is on the expensive side in comparison to nearby hotels closer to the water with far better amenities. 3. The shower is cold; endless excuses are offered, but no resolution is made. Nearby hotels have hot water & WiFi - and cost a third of the price per night. 3. No WiFi. If the Wifi doesn’t extend to all Rooms, offer a solution. 4. Coffee is instant. No milk or cream. The coffee area was a mess. A large bowl of fruit, along with a good quality coffee, fresh milk/cream -neatly maintained - would be in keeping with the rating the hotel projects by its price and branding. Pastries in the morning would be lovely & in keeping with this pricepoint. 5. the roof space was being used for homemade tattoos when we tried to enjoy it. 6. Toilet was unserviceable 2 of 5 days during the stay. 6. Staff was dismissive, disinterested and showed 0 accountability for messy areas, lack of hot water and no WiFi. I would NOT recommend this hotel. They simply don’t care. The pressure to pay upfront the minute we arrived - no welcome drink - demonstrates an awareness that guests will leave once they realise the hotel is not what it appears to be online.
The aesthetic was well executed. But impractical.

“very unique hotel which represents the style of Holbox with very friendly staff”
- • Leisure trip

The hotel didn't accept debit cards (just cash and credit cards). We had a room where the wifi wasn't working, so we had to go outside the room (but that's really first-world-problems).
The style of the hotel is soooo beautiful and unique! Also the staff, which was able to speak English (that's not so common in Mexico) was very friendly and gave us information we needed. We liked the hotel very much and would stay for a few days longer if we come again.

The only downside was the location. It’s still less than 10 mins from the beach but the road is permanently semi-flooded and you have to be very careful to keep your feet dry to get to and from town. This includes jumping on stones in the road between paths. I would still however come back to the hotel if I went back to Holbox.
The hotel looked amazing and the staff (particularly Rachel) were very helpful.
