Holbox was our first destination at the start of our Yucatan holiday. We just had 3 nights there before moving on, and wish that it could have been longer. Posada Mawimbi was the perfect place to wind down after all those pre-holiday preparations and a long trans-Atlantic flight. Following many helpful emails from Claudia and Jeevyl, we decided that we... More

Beautiful hotel, beautiful island. Beautiful beach. I loved staying here & we had 7 easy nights to unwind & bask ourselves in this sun drenched island. My favorite thing about Mawimbi was the palm trees, cleanliness & deep rested sleeps...one cool thing was seeing the owner bring in his catch, sword fish by spear & free dive - doesn't get... More

We stayed at the Mawimbi for about 10 days in April 2013. It is perfect, and the attention to detail is everywhere. The owners Onnie and Carmelo, and the staff (Jeevyl and Claudia in the reception and the waiters and gardners) obviously enjoy what they do and they seem to be genuinely interested in ensuring that their guests enjoy themselves....

Great place to spend time doing nothing but relaxing for a few days. Located right on the white sand beach. Lots of hammocks to lounge around. Staff were very nice and helpful. Felt like I was staying in a tree house, decorated with shells and Mexican textiles. Would recommend to families and friends that like a place that likes to... More

Excellent 11 room hotel located right on the beach within walking distance to all restaurants, bars and main square. The hotel on its own is great, and what makes it stand above the rest is the location and the friendly and helpful staff.

Just returned from our first trip to Holbox and it was amazing. The island is beautiful and Mawimbi is the perfect hotel. We spent six nights in an ocean view room which was ideal. The room was a good size, very well decorated and a nice temperature. There was always a breeze and we also had a fan and a/c.... More

Heard about the island through a friend a few years ago. And decided to check out mawimbi that same year 2010. everything was perfect from the room directly on the beach to the food which we found amazing, fresh fish every night. The owners are very friendly and a stray dog followed us the entire week (Goliath, in English). The... More
