Quiet Beachfront Getaway

We loved staying at Villa Delfines because of its quiet low key atmosphere, its rustic charm and low density. Situated in a well manicured garden, on a perfect stretch of sandy beach the 20 palapa roofed cabins are very spacious and charmingly rustic in all the right ways. There's lots of space, privacy and quiet unlike the congested resorts along the beach. It also seems to attract other travelers ( many Europeans) who are quiet and low key....no party-animals. We tend to prefer simplicity, space, privacy and quiet to the thumping beat of techno music and over-styled mod-cons at the other newer, more congested resorts. We spent our days relaxing on the clean and comfy loungers and hammocks under the shade of the palapas between swims. We lunched at Montaray Beach club next door everyday on it's delicious grilled fish ( with garlic and spices) chased down with a cervesa. In the early evenings we enjoyed a 1km stroll into town to watch the sunset on the beach, eat dinner, have drinks and take in the live music and people watching in the vibrant town. How refreshing that behind the veneer of tourist row , the town still has neighbourhoods that haven't been Disneyfied! It was the perfect vacation and we were so grateful to have found this place to stay! Oh and my initial reservations about the composting toilets disappeared, they are super clean and have ventilation so don't at all smell.

Great eco hotel right on the beach

Great location, a short walk down the beach from the downtown core. The individual cabins allow for great privacy and are spacious and comfortable. The composting toilets and solar heated showers demonstrate the hotel's committment to lessening their impact on this beautiful island.

family friendly eco resort on the beach

Villas Delfines is more rustic that other hotels in the same price range, the food and service is lacking, but it has a charming island feel, pool, and is on the best stretch of beach. Delfines is an eco hotel, and you can feel good about that...it is located in an ideal spot...the beach is gorgeous...also family friendly.

Great hotel right by the beach

Overall this island itself is very laid back and relaxing and this hotel reflects that. Do not expect Resort All Inclusive type of experience. You walk with your luggage to your room, no bell boys etc. This is for those who want to experience something different and explore the island or just lounge by the beach. The rooms are bungalow style, rustic, nothing fancy. We had no bad experience in the rooms. They were very clean, spacious and fresh (AC). Beds had mosquito nets which was great. Lots of windows and the hammocks outside the room were awesome. It had a small fridge and coffee maker. NOTE: The toilets are eco friendly (no flushing). I forgot name of this system but you do not use water. It does not smell bad at all and it was a pleasant experience to know we were saving water. We traveled with two kids and they had no problems with the toilets. There is one restaurant at the hotel which served decent food. We ordered hamburgers, omelettes, and ceviche and all were good. Just beware that even the restaurant atmosphere in the whole island is very laid back. Service can be considered a bit slow but that is really just how it is here. There are iguanas roaming around the premises and if you are not afraid of these animals it is quite nice, they keep to themselves. The pool is small but we did not use it ... the beach is too beautiful to be at a pool. Staff was friendly and helpful. BRING MOSQUITO/BUG REPELLENT - NOT THE AEROSOL KIND. CREAM ONE WORKS BEST.

Love this hotel

We have stayed at Villas Delfines three times now, and would visit again in a hearbeat! The huts are simple and low key, yet stylish and comfortable. We all slept like babies. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and it is one of the most relaxing places you can stay in, even with three kids! The location is perfect for us, an easy walk into 'town', yet far enough away to be completely peaceful. It is one of my favourite places in the world!

Perfect location

We have just returned from a week's stay at Villas Delfines. The location couldn't be more perfect- right on the beachfront and a short walk from town. It is incredibly peaceful and both the manager and his female front of house assistant (apologies, we didn't get her name!) were very helpful, especially with an issue we had with one of the tours (nothing to do with Villa Delfines). Unfortunately, some of the other members of staff were less helpful (although this could be partly due to the language barrier and/or what we called "Holbox timing"); food service was particularly slow. We loved our room and it was cleaned beautifully every day and very comfortable - touches such as the in room water tank, shell shower and extra blankets made for a very enjoyable stay. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Nice chilled hotel close to the beach

This is a great hotel in the very chilled island of Holbox. The hotel was well located, close to the nicest beaches but walking distance or "golf cart taxi" distance from village center. This hotel is a collection of individual and very spacious huts. You have a choice of air condition or not (we went with not), and you are provided with plenty of fans and fresh water in room. Showe facilities were basic but charming and water was always plentiful and good temperature, all provided by solar power use. Our room had a kind bed and a single bed and could have easily hosted a family. The toilet was an Eco-toilet which I was surprised with with regards to odors and friendliness of use. It worked great. The hotel has a restaurant and offers basic continental breakfast, but an ala carte menu is also available at cost. They were always extremely attentive and kind and offered us lots of drinks and small snacks for free (in fact that happened a be all over the island). They also booked out transfer from the hotel and worked fantastic despite the hours of our flights. They thought of everything and provided us with the tickets for all the different segments ( 2 hour car+ 35 min ferry + 10 min golf cart taxi). The only con and this was a con for the whole island not just this hotel is that the island has some voracious Mosquitos. We knew this to be the case and were prepared... But they were smart! The hotel provided in wall Moskito repellent. Overall was great!

great stay

I had lost my debit card and was without pesos, and there are no banks on the island. The staff worked with us to help us out. In addition the power went out in our palapa and they arranged for us to move to a different hotel, but we stayed in the powerless palapa, the next day they upgraded us to a new palapa. The staff was attentive and courteous and very helpful to us as English speakers in a Spanish speaking country. We will definitely return.
