Overview

There are many people who look at a Mexican vacation on the Yucatan peninsula as the epitome of a trip to relax and unwind. The island of Holbrox, located just off the peninsula takes this concept to a much more extensive level. With the white sand beaches boasting some of the best ocean exploration in the world along with world class amenities, guests will find that there’s relaxing, and then there’s what you can do at Palapas del Sol.

Palapas del Sol is a 19-room boutique hotel on Holbrox Island. This hotel is oceanfront, meaning you can wake up and promptly head right out to the ocean. That’s not all though, you can relax on hammocks or do a whole bunch of other activities. Some of the things you can do include bike rentals, boat tours, flamingo tours, and much more. Because the island is set apart, it is also much safer than other Yucatan resorts.

Eating on Holbrox Island is a delight as well. There are plenty of amazing restaurants and one of the best parts of the experience is the food is all locally sourced. The on-site restaurant has a host of different dishes to choose from and includes items such as lobster that’s caught right off the waters of the island. Furthermore, you can enjoy a great experience with a dinner on the beach provided by the hotel’s restaurant.

Staying on Holbrox Island is something that sophisticated travelers enjoy doing, and their go-to hotel is the Palapas del Sol.
