    Beautiful setting with a very nice porch for every room. Clean, tidy, comfy, and well appointed inside. Wonderful hosts. Courtesy breakfast - given that it's not advertised as part of the offer - pretty awesome. Wifi worked great for us (including streaming and online conferencing). Super recommended :)

    Kids of the staff spend some time in the area while they are on vacation, it's no problem until they give a hand to their parents, no way underaged work but feels discomfortable

    A very good location, nothing to say, there is a wonderful grilled chicken place just across the street, and the place actually provides breakfast, a very good one! The breakfast option depends on the season and supply level. Lots of animals live in the territory.

    Nothing major but things like a hairdryer and a kettle in the room would be extra helpful.

    Great, friendly hosts. Spacious room in a great location, 5 min walk to the beach. Breakfast included in the price. You can rent a bicycle for 100 pesos/day, they also offer laundry services for 30 pesos/kg.

    great guesthouse

    it is a small family-run guesthouse. The rooms are big and clean, we enjoyed the terrace with armchairs and hamcocks. The staff is friendly and helpful. The guesthouse is located 5-10 min walk from the beach, close to many restaurants and cafes. The only thing we didn't like was the loud music coming from the nearby restaurant, otherwise, it would be a perfect serene holiday spot. They DO offer a nice free breakfast (eggs, sausage, pancakes, fruit, coffee) even though the listing doesn't say it is included. I recommend this guesthouse to anyone visiting Holbox!

    Excellent

    Excellent location in the center of town, close proximity to ATM, Coffee shops, and five minutes walk to beach. While centrally located, sound from the bars doesn’t carry over to the property leading to perfect nights of sleep. Beds are made and unit is cleaned every day. Added benefit of breakfast is great with daily guest appearances from hummingbirds.

    This is a great place to stay in Holbox. The location relatively quiet (nice), only four blocks from the main action and six blocks from the beach. My room was spacious, the owner fantastically friendly and helpful. And price-wise, it was great value compared to what else was out there (from what I could see). If you are looking for somewhere to chill in comfort and then walk two minutes to get to town or beach, this is a good place. Mine was only a short stay due to time constraints but would definitely stay here again.

    This is beyond the control of the hotel but the road in front is busy during the day, but quiet at night so sleep is uninterrupted. Water pressure was low at times but this is an island which hasn’t succumbed to overdevelopment, so a little patience is rewarded for a warm shower. If you’re looking for a five star hotel, then look elsewhere, but be prepared to pay for it! Overall, we loved our time at Don Panchon & Maruxa, and would return in a heartbeat!

    Wonderfully genuine and warm Mexican hospitality! Lluis, his team, and Don Panchon were so hospitable and made is feel like part of the family, always on hand to offer advice and a big smile. Great location near the ferry and the center of the town. Bikes were reasonable to rent and recommended if you want to see the island. Rooms were large, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was tasty. Thank you for making our trip to Holbox so memorable!

    Very good location, right in town. Luis was very kind and gave lots of tips of places to eat and to go in the island. The bed was comfortable and had a nice area on the porch outside the room door to relax. Breakfast was really good, always a very good variety.
