I loved this property, beautiful design, clean, friendly and welcoming staff. It’s a short walk from a beach that looks wild - which I appreciated. The staff was friendly and helpful. Also, unlike the properties downtown that blast loud music that no human should be exposed to-you could actually get good sleep at this hotel as it’s in a peaceful location.

Great place, lovely location and super well taken care of by Alberto. Would defo return. As for any comments about distance from town, potholes etc, it's a pleasant walk, the potholes are passable after rain, and there's a shop super close by.

We had a wonderful stay in El Nido. Beautiful accommodation with very friendly staff. The hotel is not near the center but if the streets are good you can walk over. Otherwise you can just take the funny taxis. Thank you guys for three wonderful days

Walking distance from the beach (great sunset), this secluded, well designed and well kept little hotel is the best to relax and enjoy a serene stay. Good choice of background music throughout the day, comfortable rooms, awesome pool, great service by attentive and warm and welcoming staff. You don't pick this place if you want to be near everything. You choose this place because you like a harmonious and tranquil environment after a day of activities. Walking to the main part of the town is 30 minutes, which can be done walking on the beach at low tide, it is awesome. You can also bike if you want to get anywhere faster, but what is a vacation if not taking your time to discover?

Lovely modern boutique hotel with very friendly staff. The location was a little remote, about 30min walk to the central part of Holbox. The room was spacious but we could hear our neighbours at night... The breakfast was small - additional items (avo toast, espresso etc) were charged extra.

El Nido is A Gem!

El Nido is such an Incredibly Romantic Gem. The ambiance was felt immediately by My Partner & I. The Proprietor has done an Exceptional job creating a delightful and uniquely tranquil atmosphere. The energy of the space was just what We were hoping for on the Island. Very well managed & maintained. The staff was great…helpful and very detail oriented. They definitely made sure Our stay was pleasant. We will absolutely be returning for another stay next time We make it to Holbox. What a Beautiful Property!!

If you want to relax, just book this amazing unique boutique hotel. From the moment you arrive you can switch off and enjoy the hospitality of Alberto and Dani. If you want a big, corporate, soulless hotel, keep on looking and go elsewhere. The rooms and outside space join seamlessly and you are at one with the nature that lives there. The hotel is about a 25 minute walk to the town centre, or you can grab an easily arranged taxi, that will take 5/10 mins. There is a small shop less than 5 mins walk from El Nido and there are good restaurants about 15 mins walk away Alberto makes amazing fresh pasta meals daily that you can grab for lunch of evening meal, along with a wine or beer. The hosts are great for asking for recommendations and bikes are available to hire to explore further. We would thoroughly recommend this hidden gem to anyone who wants to get away from it all. We stayed 14 nights and could of stayed another 14!

El Nido is a lovely boutique hotel in Holbox, away from the hustle and bustle of the island. The pool is lovely and the hotel has a really nice decor, with spacious rooms. I really enjoyed the quietness of the place, especially in the evenings! One thing to flag is that is a bit away from the centre of the island, so you either have to walk or take taxis (around 200 pesos per taxi) which is a bit inconvenient at times. The closest beach is 5 minutes away at Punta Coco however if you want to go to other beaches, is a bit of a walk

The hotel itself is beautiful with a lovely breakfast and clean cool with hammocks. The location of the hotel however it is in the jungle area so walking distance to the centre of town can be tricky. Also, they didn’t have the bicycles on hand so we had to take taxis. However, if you were looking for solitude, it is very close to an amazing beach that doesn’t have lots of people which can be worth it. Sadly, we went during mosquito season so you have to be in your hotel by 7 PM. Otherwise you will be eaten alive.

A gem!

Decided to splurge and stay for two nights at El Nido. It was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. It is in a very quiet spot (we did have to traverse a few big puddles to get there after the big flood the week before) but soooooo worth it. Although off the beaten path there were some accessible restaraunts a short walk up the beach. Breakfast was tasty, staff friendly, drinks from the bar good! Overall would highly recommend! Was the highlight of our trip to Mexico. Will dream of our return one day!

The hotel is a tranquil place to stay. The soft music adds to the ambience. Brandon was very polite, friendly and professional. The rest of the staff were also very professional. The swimming pool and the area around it is a nice place to relax. The hotel is quite far from Centro so transport is required otherwise it's a 30-minute walk, which in the sun isn't advisable. There are very few restaurants nearby. The menu at the hotel has limited options. During my stay the cook was on holiday so the menu was even smaller. It would have been nice to have had more meal options available because as a vegetarian I am unable to choose widely. Besides this I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and I would really recommend guests to stay here as well.

The hotel itself was very quiet and well appointed. Large rooms and everything worked well. Staff was lovely and breakfast was very nice. I tend to get up early the staff brought me coffee before the 8am breakfast time. Only real disappointed was the golf cart rental. We rented a golf cart for several days and the hotel charged much more for it than if we rented directly. We also asked if we could rent on for less than a 24 hour period. We were told that was the min time...found out we could have rented for a shorter time period.

El Nido Staff were warm, caring, friendly, & so helpful with suggestions & local knowledge. making suggestions for us to explore on our own which we love to do. They were also available and willing to arrange any and every detail (which they handled with perfect, ease-filled results) . Breakfast & afternoon snacks & drinks were prepared with great attention to our special allergy needs & preferences. Fresh individually prepared Breakfasts included. Full restaurant services were not available when we were there. Surroundings were elegant AND comfortable & casual, a superb combination! The pool was sparkling, the grounds hand groomed,. Rooms tended with care. This intimate boutique hotel is our idea of Aaaah! We loved the location, quiet & serene.

Remote and peaceful with wonderful staff

A peaceful, immaculately designed and decorated retreat with a highly attentive and welcoming staff, good food, and excellent lounging and pool spaces. Staff constantly checked in on us to make sure we were cared for, and the breakfasts were wonderful — coffee, fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries, and a selection of made-to-order plates. We also had a quick lunch before checking out that was tasty. Rooms are minimalist but had all of the necessities, including great fans and AC units. The pool and lounge areas were a real highlights for sure — great vibes for relaxing, reading, and hanging out, just bring or buy some bug spray. Some important to note things about hotel location and the island in general: the hotel is located in a more remote area of the island, so it’s super peaceful and serene with easy access to the bioluminescence bay, but it takes some work to get into town — either a 10-15 min walk or slightly shorter by side-by-side taxi (~250MXN one way). This also means there are more bugs, mosquitos especially, but the staff offers bug spray for purchase. It had rained the day before we arrived, so many of the roads had 4-12” deep puddles spanning the entire width which made walking to town challenging. Good hikers or heavy duty water shoes like Chacos would be great to have.
