Palapas del Sol

This bright and happy hotel felt like home for us all for our week-long yoga retreat. We felt cared for, safe and protected and delighted by the consistent smiles of all of the hard-working staff. Each room is unique, decorated in refreshing and accomodating ways, and kept quite clean as well. The beaches and the hotel's beach areas are swept clear of seaweed and maintained well and the beach bar was inviting and lots of fun! The meals were fresh, delicious and served with pride and efficiency. Even those in the group with food sentsitivities were quite pleased by the selections! Management was a delight and consistently on top of any question or concern with genuine care. And the yoga studio space was sublime and also kept tidy buy thoughtful staff. We'll return again and again!

I went with two friends on a week-long yoga retreat and had a great time. The staff at this hotel is amazing -- they went above and beyond for us, always ready to help in any way they could: giving us wonderful meals just right for yogis -- filling, healthy and full of good things like ripe tropical fruit, omelettes fill with goodies and for dinner soups and stews and fresh fish. The hotel is beautiful, and the yoga room has banks of windows with beach and lush forest in full view. We also loved the little beach palapas where we swung in the hammocks and lay on the comfy chaises between swims. Will definitely be back.

Good food, great staff, very enjoyable experience. I appreciated the cleanliness of the hotel. The views from the top floors are very nice. I am a birder, and got to see some in the mangrove swamp behind the hotel. We took an island tour, which was very fun and informative.

Beautiful location and hospitality. Very clean. One of nicest hotels on Holbox right on the beach. Their tallest palapa sticks up above everything else so we could always find it. Our “superior suite with sea view” was not large but it was beautiful, and we enjoyed the small deck. The restaurant offers good food. Everything is done through WhatsApp, including ordering food or anything else you need. The staff was very helpful. You can walk to the town in about 20 min in one direction, and when the tide is out you can wade out to the sand bar and walk in the other direction all the way to Mosquito Beach.

This is our second time staying at Palapas del Sol. Our first visit was June 2023 and this one in January 2024. We've visited several hotels throughout the island and this is by far the best. The rooms are immaculate, service impeccable, food & drinks delicious and the grounds are spectacularly beautiful with hands down the best beach club/area on the island. My wife and I agreed the bed and pillows were the most comfortable we've ever experienced outside our home. It can be difficult to get a reservation here but that should tell you something and is a good thing ... they are in high demand.

A very relaxed hotel to stay. Breakfast at our balcony is very relaxed. Every day different kind of fruit, coffee (also available in the room), juice and your choice of eggs, pancakes, etc. Personnel is very friendly and helpful. Palapas at the beach are very good, ample shade for both beds. In the garden also a lot of deck chairs. Best location on the beach, although not in the village itself. That is a 15 minute stroll, and in the evening very dark..... We recommend a room upstairs with beach view. The ground floor rooms do not have much privacy on the balcony, and the rooms at the backside are a bit dark. The restaurant menu is okay. We went to the neighbors (las Hamacas) several times and this was really good. Maybe Palapas del Sol could tie up with them to offer halfboard? A restaurant at the side of the beach is very nice. We do not recommend the restaurant at the other neighbor (Kuka), terrible. Worst dinner in a long time. had to chew on my tuna.....and the very loud music, that is maybe the only complaint we have. Sometimes we could not sit on our own balcony because of the loud music of Kuka. (and being used to dance events we are not complainers). If Palapas del Sol could work something out with Kuka (maybe transferring the loudspeakers further away from the hotel), that would definitely influence the rating.
