We had a great five-night stay at Casa Iguana. The hotel is small and locally owned, good value for Isla Holbox, and centrally located to downtown. I would consider it in the future and recommend it to friends.
The location is great. Just a short walk into the downtown area and all the restaurants and shops, but far enough away to be quiet at night, and dark enough to see the stars.
The breakfast included in our stay was really good, including a selection of made-to-order dishes, fruit, fresh juice, and baked goods. The restaurant also provides filtered water. There is a bottle refilled every day in your room, but they provided more as needed from the restaurant, which was convenient.
There is a small private beach area for the hotel, but chairs and cabanas tend to fill up fast. We usually went to the beach right after we ate breakfast and frequently got the last available chairs. The hotel also has two pools, but I didn't use either during our stay. This was mainly because I prefer the beach, but the pools were also very small and partially shaded at times during the day. They would be really good for kids.
The room was simple but comfortable and clean. I definitely enjoyed the hammocks outside every room! Additionally, the staff were friendly and helpful. They helped us rent a golf cart and call golf cart taxis. read more
