    A lot of mosquito and asquilines, one night I couldn't sleep because they were on my bed . It was raining that week,so I believe it was because of the rain. In the morning, all the flights were on the floor. I had to call someone to clean the room early in the morning. And one more thing they need to fix the curtains,we couldn't move easily the curtains to close them, because they were stuck on the wood holder.

    The shower was spacious,the beds size 👌,everything was great. super rustic and a vibe of the Caribbean,the wood holding the walls, I really like it. The shells lights super cute, I like the way they have a lot of space to put your clothes and your suite case. For a family of 4, it was a good size The staff always had great humor and the spacious terrace the room had. And closer to punta mosquito.

    Unforunately the staff is unable to control the weather and it was rainy/overcast for the bulk of the time. As a result, there is lots of standing water making travel around the island difficult and really only manageable via taxi's which are side-by-side all-terrain vehicles. Keep your feet up as they have to drive through puddles that will soak you if not careful. Also as a result of standing water, the mosquitoes have you as a banquet. Take a lot of bug spray.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was an off-peak time to visit but resort was still fully staffed with all amenities available.

    Nothing! Everything was a dream!

    Palapas del Sol is a great place for a relaxing vacations far away from the turmoil of cities. We instantly fell in love with Holbox and the Palapas del Sol contributed a lot to this feeling. The rooms a spacious and nicely decorated. The service was great and the beach is just a dream. We would love to return at some point!

    Incredible luxury boutique resort on Holbox, with a very well kept private beach. The room was a great size with a large double bed and a day bed/sofa. The shower was also really nice. It was about a 20 minute walk from the main town, which meant it was nice and quiet on the beach. The staff were really attentive and you could order anything from the menu by text to whichever part of the hotel you were in (restaurant, beach bar, poolside or on the beach loungers).

    Nothing. Just perfect!

    Everything. Our room was comfy and roomy. Love the little touches. The balcony was lovely to enjoy breakfast on. Great shower and the bed was so comfy! The staff were so friendly and helpful, you could just text them and they bring you drinks/food wherever you were. The pool was great and so refreshing! Just the most fabulous hotel, we were so sad to leave! It was a great location because the beach was beautiful and it was a nice 15 minute walk to the main town. We couldn’t recommend this hotel enough!

    The bed was a little soft and some of the rooms only have wood shutters and no glass so it's hard to keep the room cool. Minor inconveniences during an amazing stay
