This place is a little slice of heaven! I was recommended here by a travel company Loco Gringo and what a great choice. After posting some photos people were saying it looked like I was in a corona commercial. Besides the unwavering beauty of the property the staff was so phenomenal. They truly want you to worry about anything. They make it a point to call you by name and make you feel as if you've been here forever. We booked the whale shark tour through the hotel as well and I highly recommend. Definitely a once in a life time opportunity.

Holbox is a place to vacation for relaxation and this hotel is a great compliment to that experience. We stayed in one of the rooms, the least expensive choice, and it had a bathroom with shower and toilet, ceiling fan, ac unit, and a closet type area for your things. Also, there is a safe in the room for valuables.Though, the island is so safe and comfortable that I doubt there is much need for it! Our room was a very short walk to the nice outdoor bar and restaurant on site that looks out to the ocean. Many comfortable chairs for relaxing in the sun and plenty of places to sit and grab some food or drinks. From the hotel you are just a short walk to the main town area which has mini markets, restaurants, shops, bike rentals, etc. There's even a clinic on the island that's not very far from this hotel in case you need to see a doctor or get medication. This is a great place to stay!

Our stay at Boutique Hotel Mawimbi has been amazing! The best location in Holbox, close to restaurants, bars, central plaza, Mercado Municipal, etc, etc. From the moment you talk to Marcia, the receptionist, she makes you feel welcome and special. She personally took us to our beautiful room, introduced us to the other staff members and showed us around the beach front area. During the course of our stay we have met the owner, Ornella, the waiters Salvador, Moises, Amber, Facundo, Sofia, other members of the front desk Sandra, Zelet, other team members Anita, Fernanda they have extraordinarily reached the highest marks of costumer service and relations with the guests. The food at the restaurant is fabulous and authentic, the cocktails well portioned and very flavorful as well. I highly recommend this business, we are having a wonderful time. read more
A special hotelito of only 11 rooms right on the beach and on the edge of town. We walked past other hotels and couldn't be happier that we found Mawimbi. The grounds are impeccable, the room (Calibri) was immaculately clean. The staff in the restaurant is extremely friendly and professional and their Covid protocol is excellent. Breakfast is included in the rate and is healthy and hearty. We also ate an excellent dinner in Barquito, the hotel's restaurant on the beach. It was convenient to charge everything to the room and the menu variety and fresh ingredients could have one eat every meal onsite. The vegetation, decor and attention to detail like raked sand makes this a special, friendly and relaxing place to stay. Please book at Hotel Mawimbi, the pandemic has taken a toll on Isla Holbox and this is a great hotel to relax and feel safe. read more

This hotel couldn't be nicer, amazing staff from the amazing receptionist (Marcia)to the servers and everyone in between. Great drinks and food. Super clean, right in front of the water, private and quiet but right in the middle of everything. read more

I'll first start off by saying I did not actually stay in a room at Mawimbi. I had the unfortunate luck to lose my ATM card before I arrived to Isla Holbox. Fortunately, I stumbled upon Mawimbi. The staff here was incredibly helpful in allowing me to set up an account via PayPal so that I can enjoy their restaurant and massage. Sulie (sp?) was especially helpful and comforting getting this set up for me, and making me feel welcome. I was able to enjoy the food/drinks at the restaurant, and also book a massage. I found Mawimbi to be a home away from home to relax in a hammock, watch the sunsets, and nourish myself. Everyone staying at the hotel seemed very pleased with their accommodations. I would suggest booking Mawimbi in advance, though. I booked my hotel last minute and Mawimbi wasn't an option. Mawimbi was my favorite spot on the beach...they have it all! I'll be staying with them during my next Holbox visit, for sure. read more

From the moment we arrived at Mawimbi's palm shaded doors we knew we were in good hands. Jeevyl is so kind and caring. She showed us to our sweet upstairs room and invited us to Barquito for a complimentary cocktail. We were greeted by Francisco, who in my opinion, can do no wrong. His food and drinks were sublime the entire length of our trip. Mango margaritas, pina coladas, ceviche, pulpos... the octopus carpaccio... that man could bring it!! The whole hotelito is so cozy and and charming with nice little touches like shells as light covers and planters... I guarantee you that you will be bringing decorating ideas home with you. The entire place also smells terrific... I don't know if it is what they clean with or some hidden incense, but I always noticed a wonderful odor in the air. Oh, and can we talk about the beach?? Amazing!!!!!! First of all, it is uncrowded... secondly, it is sugar white sand with crystal clear water that you can bask in all day. Do yourself a little favor and walk down the beach in the direction of the flamingos and you will see many fish as you wade or swim. I found baby starfish, as well... and did I mention... you have the beach practically all to yourself??? Yes, I did, but I just had to say it again cause it is AWESOME!! Take lots of photos cause your friends back home will be ever so jealous!! Also make sure to sit out on the beach at night doing some stargazing. You can either sit on the lounge chairs, beds or go to the sweet little pier which is minutes away. So simple, but the amount of stars/constellations you will feel like you can just reach out and touch is incredible!! I highly recommend Mawimbi... and I would go back in a heartbeat... thank you, Onny, Jeevyl and Francisco for making our stay so incredible. read more

Mawimbi was amazing! My friend and I happened upon this gem by surfing the backpacker blogs, in search of an experience that was true to Mexico and not so "touristy". What we got was above and beyond what we expected. The vibe was truly peaceful, the food was magnificent and the customer service warm and friendly. I would definitely visit Mawimbi again. During our visit, we witness a holy day and the IPAFF festival, which only added to our experience. I wish them the best and I hope that as more tourist hear about this magnificent gem, that they do not lose their authenticity. read more
