拉薩羅－卡德納斯EJIDO JUAREZ附近酒店

To put it plainly, Soho Holbox made our trip. When we travel, we look for authenticity, relaxation, and beauty; a great value doesn't hurt, either. Soho Holbox delivered all of this and more, and totally exceeded our expectations. I'm a person who notices things other people might miss - positive and negative. We were extremely impressed by all aspects to Soho, and after observing many other hotels on Holbox, felt that we had chosen the best one - by far. THE ROOM We stayed in a courtyard room with a king bed. The room was strikingly beautiful and very clean, incorporating the natural surroundings in the design. It felt like a retreat. The rain shower was relaxing, the bed was so comfortable that we slept like rocks. More practically: we like to have some snacks and drinks on hand, and the mini fridge easily held 12 beers and some fruit etc. The air conditioner was powerful and cold when we needed it to be. The patio off the room provided shade and privacy all day. Being sensitive to noise, I was worried being so close to the pool would be loud, but it was totally quiet and it almost felt like we had a private pool. The cleaning was impeccable (don't forget to tip your room cleaners!) THE HOTEL GROUNDS The grounds of the hotel are all open-air, allowing the natural beauty of Holbox in. Everything was shockingly clean. While there was always staff out maintaining the grounds, it was never intrusive. There is free purified water available in the lobby. The gorgeous courtyard infinity pool is surrounded by a sun deck, outdoor shower, and lounge chairs as well as tropical flora and fauna (and resident iguanas!). It is hardly used - surprising considering how nice it is, but the hotel's proximity to the beach makes it easy spend all day staring at the turquoise-green water. Soho guests have access to a beautiful white sand beach about 300 ft from the hotel. For the record, we walked all over the island and took note of the beaches at the ”high end” (read: twice as expensive) hotels, and this beach was far cleaner and quieter. There are several shaded cabanas and loungers for use, free of charge. There is intermittent drink/food service at the beach. Guests also have access to two rooftop pool/lounge areas: one at the Soho itself and one at the Spirit Hotel across the path. The Spirit has a full-service restaurant, a large lounge area (with sunset views) and a rooftop pool. Sitting in the pool while enjoying 2 for 1 Blue Mezcalita cocktails during the daily happy hour was a highlight. The Soho has breakfast included daily, which they say is a continental breakfast. This conjured images of tiny boxes of cereal and stale muffins, but what you actually get is a sit-down breakfast service with several fresh and tasty options. We really appreciated being able to start the day with a relaxing, healthy breakfast, and felt it was a great value add (hotel breakfasts on the island were about $10-$20 per person). THE STAFF While all the staff was pleasa

The value of the rooms and experience did not match the very high price for the rooms. The breakfast was good and the staff in the restaurant friendly,  but we not only were watched like a hawk as we were looking at the tea, as if we were going to steal some, but felt we were nickled and dimed for every little thing.  An extra 5 pesos to add a little cheese to an omelet, for example. When we arrived,  we were forced to sign an elaborate contract and provide credit card deposit for room damage,  as if they were expecting us to destroy their property.  My son was sick from some food he ate on the island,  and when I asked the reception for cleaning materials to clean up the room,  several times,  he couldn't even be bothered to ask how my son was feeling. Maybe that is asking to much,  but the man at reception  just didn't seem to care at all about our family,  our experience or our time spent here,  as long as he got his money.  It rained the entire time we were here, with high winds,  keeping us stuck in the rooms for much of the time, and unfortunately,  the rooms were pretty basic and bare, fine if we were paying hostel prices,  but we paid approximately $450 US per night per room!
