Nice beachfront hotel right in the heart of town, if you like to go out and party this is your place since you are next to all the party locations, if you want to relax then choose another property because the bars nearby are very noisy up untill the morning. The rooms are nice and it’s very walkable around

The view of the beach is amazing. For the price, the conditions are very good - rustic, but that's the charm of Holbox. Amazing sunset, especially if your room is on the second door. At night it is very noisy because of the bars, but again, that's the charm of Holbox! We really loved our stay! Thank you!

The location of the property is excellent, right on the beach, and very close to the pier where the Whaleshark tours leave from. There was an amazing view of the sunset from our balcony. There are no food options at the property but a good range of restaurants in the vicinity. Beds were comfortable. Internet access was sometimes sketchy. The area around the hotel is home to many bars which play loud music until 2 to 4am in the morning, and the hotels wooden walls are not at all sound proof. So the nights were noisy. Bathrooms are a bit primitive and ours featured a dripping leak through the ceiling from the shower of the room above (found on our last night there and reported to the hotel on checkout). The pool was small and often crowded. Transport access to the hotel was good from the sand street in front.

The hotel El Faro was absolutely amazing. The location was perfect, right on the side of the ocean. The room was clean, as described, towels exchange upon request, and staff offered to clear the room on a regular basis. Loved our stay. Staff was amazingly helpful and friendly!

Un hotel rústico con un toque propio de la isla; enfrente del mar qué cuenta con agua caliente, A/C y con una atención del staff qué andan siempre pendiente de uno. Agradezco mucho al bellboy jhonny que si tienen dudas de lugares donde comer o tours el puede faciliterles la información y la compra.

Loved this place. Can’t beat the location and the staff is wonderful. It is right on the beach by some bars and it can be a loud at night. If you want fun, clean, safe, in town, close to everything, and right on the beach this is a fabulous option. If you are looking for fancy and quiet this is not what you are looking for. But we LOVED it and will be back.

Location is awesome but you will need earbuds to sleep well. Staff provides world wide service, extremely friendly and accommodating. The pool was really cold so it was nice during the day but not in the evening. This property just needs a bit more of furniture to put your belongings a tv and it will be perfect. Over all highly recommended to experience walking from your bed to the sea, thank you guys for such a great experience.

Good placement right on the beach but there is a bar very close that play techno music until 4 am.. the hotel staff did offer us earplugs. Lot of ants in the room, asked if the could spray not sure they did it. I used my mosquito spray it help a bit. Rest of hotel was good, Staff very friendly.

Great experience. Lovely staff, incredible beachfront location. Front desk was so helpful booking tours and taxis for us. I loved the old school tropical vibe of the rooms, they feel living in a James Bond novel (though the excellent aircon made me grateful to live in modern times). The (unaffiliated) beach bar out front is really loud, very late, every night, but the hotel can't control them. Overall I really would recommend the hotel, just bring quality earplugs! If I were Oól, I'd look at buying that bar and improving it (the bar is always empty despite having a perfect location.) Great breakfasts at Limulus, a few doors down to the east.

Property is great location and staff so kind but there are noisy bars close. On a sunday night it wasn’t bad but weekend nights can get loud. Also, expedia map has wrong location. It shows the property 2 blocks east of the square …, but it’s not. It’s right off the main pier. My one night stay was lovely though I booked based on an incorrect location which is not the hotel fault but hopefully Expedia cam correct.

Très bien situé!

Très belle expérience ! L’endroit vient d’ouvrir, tout est neuf, la piscine est géniale, le directeur et les employés sont vraiment sympathiques et aidants. ❤️ Quelques améliorations sont à apporter (crochets, anti-dérapant sur les marches de la piscine, plus de chaises/tables extérieures, 1-2 chaises sur chacun des balcons): le directeur est tout ouïe aux commentaires des clients. Si vous désirez le calme pour dormir, soyez avertis: il y a de la musique forte autour jusqu’à tard dans la nuit.

J’ai séjourné dans cet hôtel récemment et l’expérience a été très décevante. Dès la première nuit, j’ai été confronté à un bruit incessant qui a perturbé mon sommeil jusqu’à 7h du matin. Que ce soit des bruits provenant de la ville ou des rues voisines, impossible de trouver le calme nécessaire pour se reposer. De plus, j’ai contacté le personnel pour discuter d’une possible annulation ou compensation pour les nuits précédentes, mais malheureusement, leur réponse a été totalement insatisfaisante. Aucun effort n’a été fait pour résoudre la situation ou pour proposer un geste commercial. Je ne recommande pas cet hôtel à ceux qui recherchent un séjour reposant ou un service client réactif. À éviter si vous êtes sensible au bruit ou si vous attendez un minimum de prise en charge en cas de problème.

El hotel está frente a la playa a unos pasos de las letras Holbox y a un lado del muelle, así que hay acceso en lanchas (no por el ferry, pero hay servicios particulares). El personal muy muy amable, servicial y honesto, cuidaron nuestras maletas mientras estábamos en tours. Solicitamos 1 cuarto en primer piso y lo respetaron. Lo único malo/bueno es que está rodeado de bares y restaurantes así que tienes ruido toda la noche (te ofrecen tapones de oído al llegar). Si vas de fiesta es un pro! Pero si necesitas descansar si batallas un poco por el ruido. Las habitaciones son sencillas pero limpias, y la cama super cómoda.
El hotel es de madera, aire acondicionado, dos camas excelentes.
