Palapas del Sol

Total number of rooms: 25 | Prices start from 286.7 US$

This beachfront boutique hotel on Holbox Island keeps things simple. Palapas del Sol sits right on the sand, with palm-thatched cottages built in traditional palapa style. The Caribbean stretches out in front of you. Meanwhile, tropical gardens frame every path. First impression? Calm. Second impression? You don’t want to leave.

Each cottage comes with a private bathroom, a hammock inside the room, and even an iPod docking station in the seating area. It also offers a pool. It sits directly on the beach sand. That means that you float while watching the sea.

Del Sol restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with local produce and organic ingredients. Plus, breakfast comes free every day. Also, do yourself a favor and try the mango margaritas. Several guests rave about them.

Housekeeping deserves a special mention. Daily cleaning feels remarkable here. Paths get raked each morning. Landscaping stays pristine. Trees, plants, and shrubs always look cared for.

If you value quality boutique hotels, this place checks important boxes. Beachfront access. Spacious palapa cottages. Organic-leaning menus. Careful maintenance. Friendly service. Plus, a relaxed rhythm that suits slow mornings.

Good to know: The staff literally rake the sand daily to keep the shoreline spotless. Not many boutique hotels on Holbox Island do that.
