Es un lugar súper ubicación en el corazón de Holbox ideal para familia, ojo, es un lugar tradicional no me esperes lujos, pero todo lo compensa la ubicación y trato de las personas.

Es la segunda vez que nos hospedamos aquí. Los precios son por habitación (en una oportunidad 500mx y en la segunda - 1 año después- 700mx). Los cuartos son limpios, quizás muy reducidos de espacio pero si se tiene en cuenta que sólo se vuelve allí para bañarse y dormir no es un gran problema. Ubicación inmejorable , a pocas cuadras de la playa y en la plaza principal . ¡Gracias!
