Exactly as pictured. Easily walk from the pool to the sea. Lots of bars around so there is loud music always, but they let us know at check in and gave us earplugs.

Location is awesome but you will need earbuds to sleep well. Staff provides world wide service, extremely friendly and accommodating. The pool was really cold so it was nice during the day but not in the evening. This property just needs a bit more of furniture to put your belongings a tv and it will be perfect. Over all highly recommended to experience walking from your bed to the sea, thank you guys for such a great experience.

Great experience. Lovely staff, incredible beachfront location. Front desk was so helpful booking tours and taxis for us. I loved the old school tropical vibe of the rooms, they feel living in a James Bond novel (though the excellent aircon made me grateful to live in modern times). The (unaffiliated) beach bar out front is really loud, very late, every night, but the hotel can't control them. Overall I really would recommend the hotel, just bring quality earplugs! If I were Oól, I'd look at buying that bar and improving it (the bar is always empty despite having a perfect location.) Great breakfasts at Limulus, a few doors down to the east.

Good placement right on the beach but there is a bar very close that play techno music until 4 am.. the hotel staff did offer us earplugs. Lot of ants in the room, asked if the could spray not sure they did it. I used my mosquito spray it help a bit. Rest of hotel was good, Staff very friendly.

Loved this place. Can’t beat the location and the staff is wonderful. It is right on the beach by some bars and it can be a loud at night. If you want fun, clean, safe, in town, close to everything, and right on the beach this is a fabulous option. If you are looking for fancy and quiet this is not what you are looking for. But we LOVED it and will be back.

Property is great location and staff so kind but there are noisy bars close. On a sunday night it wasn’t bad but weekend nights can get loud. Also, expedia map has wrong location. It shows the property 2 blocks east of the square …, but it’s not. It’s right off the main pier. My one night stay was lovely though I booked based on an incorrect location which is not the hotel fault but hopefully Expedia cam correct.

The hotel El Faro was absolutely amazing. The location was perfect, right on the side of the ocean. The room was clean, as described, towels exchange upon request, and staff offered to clear the room on a regular basis. Loved our stay. Staff was amazingly helpful and friendly!

Un hotel rústico con un toque propio de la isla; enfrente del mar qué cuenta con agua caliente, A/C y con una atención del staff qué andan siempre pendiente de uno. Agradezco mucho al bellboy jhonny que si tienen dudas de lugares donde comer o tours el puede faciliterles la información y la compra.

Très bien situé!

Très belle expérience ! L’endroit vient d’ouvrir, tout est neuf, la piscine est géniale, le directeur et les employés sont vraiment sympathiques et aidants. ❤️ Quelques améliorations sont à apporter (crochets, anti-dérapant sur les marches de la piscine, plus de chaises/tables extérieures, 1-2 chaises sur chacun des balcons): le directeur est tout ouïe aux commentaires des clients. Si vous désirez le calme pour dormir, soyez avertis: il y a de la musique forte autour jusqu’à tard dans la nuit.

Very very loud Be aware of that !!!! Besides the music and the no tables situation is pretty good… Also no blankets on the bed Only sheets… Jonathan the front desk guy was very nice and helpful.

J’ai séjourné dans cet hôtel récemment et l’expérience a été très décevante. Dès la première nuit, j’ai été confronté à un bruit incessant qui a perturbé mon sommeil jusqu’à 7h du matin. Que ce soit des bruits provenant de la ville ou des rues voisines, impossible de trouver le calme nécessaire pour se reposer. De plus, j’ai contacté le personnel pour discuter d’une possible annulation ou compensation pour les nuits précédentes, mais malheureusement, leur réponse a été totalement insatisfaisante. Aucun effort n’a été fait pour résoudre la situation ou pour proposer un geste commercial. Je ne recommande pas cet hôtel à ceux qui recherchent un séjour reposant ou un service client réactif. À éviter si vous êtes sensible au bruit ou si vous attendez un minimum de prise en charge en cas de problème.

Está súper bien ubicada. No batallas para nada en tours, transporte o alimentos. Lo que sí es que de noche es difícil dormir por las fiestas que acaban 3 am. Hay mucho ruido. El personal es muy amable. Hay un señor súper cortés que te apoya en todo, lo único que nine gusto es que no te dicen que no limpiaran tu habitación a menos de que lo pidas por seguridad en tus pertenencias. Como no sabía al llegar del tour pues estaba como lo dejamos y es incomodo por la arena, yo barrí. En las noches hay fiesta hasta las casi 3 am y al estar frente a playa pues el ruido es mucho. Pero en realidad por precio y todo se me hace muy buena opción.

Ren Bounty

Fantastisk beliggenhed. Ren Bounty hotel. Det kan simpelthen ikke blive bedre. Og alle restauranter og små købmænd lige rundt om hjørnet. Hotellet var meget spartansk indrettet, og at var i træ. Det var meget charmerende og passede perfekt til stedet. Dog måske lige lidt for spartansk på visse områder. F.eks kunne man godt lige have smækket et par træhylder op på trævæggen ved siden af sengen, så man havde et sted at lægge sine ting, men det er dog petitesser. Kunne også godt have brugt et køleskab til at holde drikkevarerne kolde, men de vidste vi jo, da vibookede værelset. Alt fungerede 100%, der var pænt og rent og sengen var super god. Eneste anke var kvaliteten af deres wifi. Routeren var i deres receptionsvogn udenfor hotellet, og signalet var ikke i nærheden af at kunne nå op på 2. sal, hvor vores værelse lå. Poolområdet foran hotellet blev rengjort og revet hver dag, og der var de skønneste solsenge, hvorfra man enten kunne hoppe i poolen eller gå direkte ud i det skønne varme havvand (26-28 gr). Der var pool/strandhåndklæder på værelset. Personalet var søde og meget imødekommende.

Merveilleux hotel face a la mer

Merveilleux hotel au bord de la plage. La chambre est bien, le lit est confortable. Vie sur la mer depuis la chambre et balcon. Belle salle de bain. Piscine avec vue sur ma mer. Vraiment très bien! Personnel très souriant et sympathique. Le bruit? Pas un problème car partout vous aurez de la musique. Mais la Lisiane est pas forte autour. Merveilleux lever et coucher de soleil ! Donc en conclusion… hotel idéal pour passer une ou deux nuits a Holbox !
