Soho Boutique Holbox - Adults Only

The strength of this hotel is the great built-in spa within the hotel property! Stay here if you want to enjoy a beautiful spa experience only steps away from your hotel room. Don’t stay here is you expect to be close to downtown. It’s at least a twenty minute walk to downtown, including if you just need a quick drink from a convenience store, and having to take a taxi each time quickly adds up! Don’t even think about walking to and from the hotel after sunset as the mosquitoes will eat you very quickly (you won’t even make it half way). Hence, I sort of wished I picked any hotel closer to downtown as I believe their premium is worth it just on this fact alone. Don’t stay here if you want variety with the included breakfast. The complimentary breakfast will have you searching for the rooftop entrance across the street, climb the stairs to be presented three preset breakfast options; omelette or scrambled eggs with either cheese or ham or pancakes. Granted, a bit of fruits and yogurt is included along with the eggs, but it’s pretty basic. Though I’m not complaining when you get to have freshly prepared breakfast on the rooftop overlooking the Holbox white beach! Just don’t expect much nor to have a variety of options. But it will get the job done! Breakfast was 8:30-10:30am and we hung around past that to enjoy coffee on the rooftop WIFI. Don’t stay here if you are expecting a good pool experience. The two small pools on the property aren’t running all the time so it doesn’t look appealing to get into. Don’t stay here if you are expecting a view from your hotel room. You won’t see any bit of the ocean - just the hotels in front and behind this hotel. We upgraded from the Double Room to the King suite and really glad we did because we got a nice balcony and comfortable bed with plenty of different pillow options. We also looked into upgrading to the King suite with bathtub option but glad we didn’t opt for it as the bathtub didn’t look appealing and just took up all the living room space. We wish the rooms were a bit more spacious, with perhaps some living room furniture, otherwise you just get a basic bed with nightstands, TV with basic cable and basic bathroom. The water pressure was good and quickly warmed up. The room AC was great and didn’t need to be run long. The issue mainly was the poor insulating as we heard out downstairs neighbours and likely would have heard whoever was across from us if there was anyone. There was no safe or iron in the room unfortunately. If beach clubs are your thing, there are three decent options very close by. We checked out “HAU” beach club directly across from this hotel. This beach club didn’t have a minimum, had a generous happy hour (4-7pm), but unfortunately we got diarrhea after their mojitos. Although they were delicious mojitos so it’s hard to regret it. I primarily booked this place to get a great spa experience and they exceeded my expectations. Thus, based on this experience, this hotel deserves nothing less than five stars. I also can’t forget to mention the hotel staff were incredibly helpful during our stay. Shoutout to all the concierges and especially including Mateo, Almira and Marianna in the reservations department!

Very nice stay in the room 17. Very clean, super comfy bed. Maybe a chair and big mirror are missing in the room to make it even nicer. Air-conditioning worked perfectly. Access to the pool of the hotel, as well as to the roof top pool of spirit hotel (same owner): perfect to watch the sunset on lounge music. 2 negative points : insolation is bad, you can easily hear the neighborhood + it is a good 15/20 min walk to reach the city center. It is so hot and bad roads, that it doesn't make the walk that nice. If I would come back I would try to find a hotel in-between.

It was a wonderful experience, only bad thing was it smelled a lot like pond water and since everything surrounding was under construction it was very loud and noisy. During one morning they were burning grass in the back and we were being intoxicated with smoke

Very nice place to rest. The people there sweet and nice. The spa is amazing… I love this place

Property was beautiful and clean. Cristian front desk staff was sweet but didn’t deliver after offering services such as room service. We asked Cristian to text us the room service menu, she advised she’d send it to us in a few minutes but text it to us hours later. By that time, we had already called a taxi to get dinner elsewhere. When she saw us get into the taxi, she deleted the text with the hotel menu she had sent us. That was odd. In another instance, we requested three sodas to be delivered to our room. We never received them. On another note, the breakfast service was above and beyond wonderful. Please don’t forget to tip the staff of waiters. Lastly, we stayed at the presidential sweet which was beautiful. However, there was no air conditioning unit upstairs and a window had no closure causing the area to be extremely hot. A complete waist of space. Staff had to bring one of the twin beds located upstairs down to the first floor. Overall, it’s a nice property.

Very unclean island . Lots of mosquitoes around all Holbox but especially at this hotel .

Nice clean place. Very quiet across the street from the beach. Many places to walk to. Very charming island.

This property has misrepresented itself online. It is not a beachfront property and does not have an operating restaurant. What it has is a sister hotel 100 meters away that has a restaurant and offers sun beds on the beach. The Soho has a very small swimming pool, marginally bigger than a hot tub and has 4 sun loungers. The “restaurant” is open from 8-10.30am for breakfast, which is a fixed plate. Your only choice is omlette or scrambled eggs! The rooms are spacious and well maintained, however lack the little touches that should be there in a 4 star hotel, such as glasses in the bathroom and facial tissues. The staff are helpful and try their best but I think the online description needs to be more honest.

Nice design hotel with bathtube, god breakfast in the jungle, gym and a pool on the rooftop. Its 20 min to town but you can take a golfcab. The best beach is on the other side of the island but you can take a cab 15 min away to go there. The hotel has a beachclub also who is ok.
