Trying to be fair, but this is the worst hotel Iâve ever stayed in.
Las Nubes de Holbox is old, dirty, and seriously understaffed. The photos on their website are extremely misleading, clearly taken many years ago. The hotel no longer looks anything like what is advertised.
Their so-called beach club is not actually on the beach. You have to cross a swampy puddle that smells terrible and is full of mosquitoes. After that, you reach a rocky shore that has nothing to do with the stunning beaches Holbox is known for. Iâll leave photos for reference. What they call a beach club is just a few old, rusted, and filthy beds. Again, photos will speak for themselves.
The room I was given looked nothing like the photos either. I found a giant scorpion inside my shoe and it almost stung me twice. I went to the front desk for help, not even knowing if I had been stung, and they had no emergency kit. Not even the basics. No one apologized or showed any concern. I understand weâre in the jungle, but the scorpion was in the room because clearly the space is not well maintained. The room was old, dusty, and forgotten, which is likely why the scorpion was even there.
The next day, after all that, they just offered to switch my room and gave me a welcome cocktail as an apology. (Lol).
There is not enough staff in this hotel. You always have to wait a long time at the restaurant, and service in general is very slow. The included breakfast is a joke. Itâs eggs every day, tasteless eggs.
