If you don’t mind staying in the town, which is actually only steps from the beach, then another great budget option is Hotel los Arcos. This quaint little pink hotel is simple but central and very well priced for those who don’t want to camp or share a dorm. It is the perfect place if you intend to spend most of their time at the beach and just need a place to sleep. As they say in Mexico bueno, bonito y barato.

Care has been taken to make the rooms nice and use of the communal kitchen allows you can cook up your own meals with the fresh catch of the day.

This is a really upbeat place with music and parties, so don’t stay here is you want peace and quiet.

This sweet property located about three minutes from the beach is a great midrange option. The hotel has a pool as well as a games area and a tiny gym under a thatched palapa.

Where Will You Stay on Isla Holbox?
With so many great places to stay on the island, which hotel will you choose? I suggest planning around your budget so you can ensure to still have some room to enjoy yourself once you arrive, although for most people visiting Holbox for the first time, the best thing to do is simply relax in your stunning environment. A comfortable beachfront hotel really is the best choice for relaxation!
