Our stay at Punta Caliza was truly exceptional! Julie, Irving and Max made our stay so memorable and took it to a 6 star experience. The chef, Jonathan, is the best on the island. Every morning was a delicious surprise with an authentic, local breakfast cuisine. The sauces and spices are fresh and unique. Just say YES to the daily breakfast special! The location is perfect and the pool is one of a kind. Very peaceful and relaxing stay on Isla Holbox! Can’t wait to return! Thank you Caliza Team!

This hotel is truly exceptional. I’ve stayed at other places in Holbox and had great experiences, but this hotel stands out. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by name, which makes the service feel incredibly personal.
The breakfast is excellent, and the food overall is outstanding. The beach club is beautiful and provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy the island.
I traveled solo as a woman, and Holbox is a wonderful destination for solo travelers. This hotel, in particular, made me feel especially comfortable and well cared for. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Escogimos este hotel por su arquitectura y fue una experiencia muy grata, tal como lo imaginamos. Una distribución fuera de lo convencional con diseño minimalista de estilo playero, lleno de detalles que se aprecian en cada rincón. Las habitaciones cómodas y acogedoras con ese toque rústico que buscábamos.
Totalmente recomendable, la atención del personal esmerada y amable, nos hicieron sentir en casa.

Punta Caliza is the perfect blend of modern & traditional Mexico. The space is tranquil, the breakfast was exciting and filling every morning. Their team are all lovely and super friendly, offering great suggestions and making you feel welcome. You can see there was so much thought put into this hotel and all that it encompasses.

We had an amazing stay at Punta Caliza. The staff are really friendly and welcoming, the pool is stunning and the beach club is amazing (it’s just a 3 min walk down the beach from the hotel and the food and cocktails are excellent). Each room has its own private plunge pool leading onto the main pool and there is a small bar / restaurant (I think the website advertises live music there but we never heard any during our stay).

There are a few small things I think could be improved though. Firstly, it would have been great to have more breakfast options (you can have either a local special or an omelette) and the coffee was really disappointing as someone who looks forward to their first coffee of the day! On the first day we were literally served brown water because we were told that the coffee machine wasn’t working and it didn’t get significantly better, to be honest. My boyfriend was told he couldn’t have a cappuccino on every morning of our stay. Also, our room wasn’t cleaned on the first day because the staff didn’t have a spare key. All these things are completely understandable but just not in keeping with the premium feel of the rest of our stay.

Lastly, the staff were very helpful in booking us an airport shuttle from Chiquila but unfortunately the company they booked us with (Genesis) does not seem reliable and were apparently unaware of our booking when we arrived. This made our trip to the airport slightly stressful! I’d advise not booking with them.

The hotel is Very Unique and architecturally beautiful.
The staff was wonderful and very helpful.
The restaurant was lovely and the menue although limited is definitely worth trying for dinner and their breakfasts are wonderful and included with your stay.
The pool is really cute and their beach iclub s a short 10 minute walk away.
That being said I will say the following as a possible warning or heads up to certain groups who may be interested in staying here.
The hotel is very small and the little a frame cabins are open air at the top therefore you can hear everything from the cabin next door. Ie when they are going to to the toilet you can hear everything and vice versa.
Therefore if you are really modest or perhaps on your honeymoon and want a lot of privacy... This is not the hotel for you
Also, it rained for 2 days at the beginning of our stay and while the whole town was submersed in water and the roads basically impassible they all cleared the following day.
The two main roads along this corber lot hotel we're still impassible when we left after 8 nights
Small golf carts could not get to the hotel and there aren't any side walks to access it.
Therefore any one with mobility issues at all or probably anyone who doesn't want to have to cling to trees and use a flashlight etc this probably isn't the hotel for you as it rains a lot here throughout the year.
The hotel is really cute and we really enjoyed our stay though.

Punta Caliza is other worldly, a delightful escape from the pace of everyday life. It’s one of those places you don’t really want to tell too many people about, keep it a secret! July, Max, Leo and the entire team were incredibly accommodating prior to and throughout our stay. The room was very comfortable, amazing shower. The highlight is the central pool with private access from each room. Breakfast each morning was unique and tasty. We had dinner a few times at the hotel and enjoyed the entire menu (and the cocktails!) Caliza has its own beach club about 5min walk away, never too busy and great cocktails. We will return again!

What a wonderful place to make memories with the family! The 7 of us stayed at Punta Caliza for 11 blissful days. What a dream:)

The staff and ambiance were incredible!! Such a zen setting.
The rooms were cool with a/c, and they had various shades to adjust for light levels. The beds were very comfortable. The architecture, complete with private dipping pool and large main pool, was so inviting. The food was amazing - those breakfasts were so good! The service from the staff at the hotel and at the beach club was exceptional!

Thank you so very much to Max, Irvine, July, Leo, Diego, and the other amazing guy at the beach club - plus others on staff - all of you, so wonderful! Thanks for looking after us, from start to finish, for a fantastic experience, Max! You are amazing!

Even prior to our stay, communication was prompt, helpful, and friendly.

Hotel was 2 min walk from stunning beach and 5-10 min walk from town. 3 min taxi drive from the port. Really ideal location.

Traditional Mexican dishes to try for breakfast each morning which was so nice and fun.

Staff were always really friendly and helpful and spoke amazing English (and tried to help us with our Spanish!).

We can’t remember the lady’s name with the brown hair (sorry!!) but she was great - thank you so much for all your help we really appreciate it.

Isla Holbox is a little hidden paradise. Punta Caliza is a very unique and beautiful place to stay, it makes you feel like you’re in a remote jungle village deep in the island but with beautiful designed rooms made out of beautiful wood. The rooms have everything you need for the modern traveler but it still gives you the feel of being in touch with nature, especially when one can access the pool from your very own room. All the rooms come together at this lagoon like pool where you can interact with other guests or cool off from a hot day or after being at the beach. Family owned hotel where their focus is to make their guests feel part of the family, don’t be surprised to see the owners in the property interacting with the guests and improving their facilities. They offer a vast variety of services, including a daily breakfast where their focus on elevated cuisine flourishes, one can also dine on the premises with a full menu for both, the dining room and the bar, a beach club with a full bar, lounge chairs and a great view of the beach. In addition they own a restaurant just a few minutes from the hotel where you can enjoy great tacos such as pulpo (octopus), their signature shrimp tacos or the vegetarian option, the cauliflower tacos. If you like mezcal, they also have mezcal tastings at both locations. The hotel is just a block away from the beach but that little walk is well worth it. When it comes to transportation they make it hassle free. They arrange it for you.

Avoid this place. Power outages daily, and their generator only powers water. Neighboring hotels have full generators; choose one of them.

There were about 15 things that went wrong during our (Honeymoon) stay, but I'll just stick to the worst:

I made a cup of coffee in the room with the Nespresso machine they provided. I took a sip, and it tasted like alcohol. I had not had a drop of alcohol in over four years. My wife and I are both sober. We told them this when they offered us a welcome drink at check-in. I smelled the tank of the Nespresso, and it smelled like alcohol.

I brought it to the front desk, and an employee working named Irving agreed that it smelled like alcohol. My wife went back up a bit later, and he said that he and the rest of the staff figured out it smelled and tasted like gin.
**
Management refused to speak to us during our entire stay there, instead relaying info through the front desk staff. We told them we drank a lot of coffee and even requested extra Nespresso pods. I am trying not to think that the gin in the tank was intentional because we complained about some issues after we saw our room, but based on how we were treated the rest of our stay, I can't rule it out.

Additionally, the beach club included in the room's cost was covered in seaweed and unswimmable. The staff at the club told us the entire island was inundated. We luckily found out day 2 that Punta Coco had clean beaches, so we spent $100 a day on cabs and chairs elsewhere. Avoid.

Overpriced

I’m just getting around to jot down my opinion of this place. Property is ok. Staff was ok. Food was good. We had an issue with the shower. The water wasn’t draining and it smelled awful. Long story short, my husband pulled out the biggest, grossest, smelliest hair ball I have ever seen. When we brought this up to the front desk he told us to send an email to the owner-which we did and never received a reply. Our room also had massive spider webs. The bed was comfortable. There are two robes in each room and one was used and hanging up outside the door to the pool. I can’t remember the young smiley staff who was practicing his English but his vibe was everything. We loved him.

The front desk/bar staff did double duty but never made you feel like they were too busy to help. They were so friendly and attentive.
I only wish it were warmer when we were there because the pool was super cold and to be honest, didn’t look all that clean during our short stay. I would still stay here again despite the longer trek to Isla Holbox!

Punta Caliza is absolute paradise in Holbox. We were welcomed by an extremely friendly staff (Cerillo, Brenda and Alex) during a rainstorm, with flowers in our room to commemorate our anniversary and welcome drinks. Our room was beautiful, very clean, quiet, and architecturally brilliant. We enjoyed our delicious morning breakfasts, talks over drinks with the great staff, we even met the owners who were also very friendly and sweet, we'll miss our lunches and late night snacking. The beach is also only a short walk away as well as the center of Holbox and their beach club is amazingly cute! This hotel and its people made our first stay on the island amazing!

WARNING - unsanitary conditions

WARNING - We stayed at Punta Caliza for 2 days. When arriving at the Hotel we noticed that the pool, which was the main reason we choose this hotel, was dirty. The water was green which is a sign of no chlorine being in the water. Chlorine is essential to keep the water safe and free of dangerous pathogens that make you sick. It is critical to use the correct amount of chemicals, especially in Mexico where they use non-potable water to fill pools and in the main water supply for Holbox Island. After much hesitation I decided to put my feet in the water. I tried to step out of the room where there is a small 4x6 private pool next to each room. I stepped into the water and completely fell in to a 5’ deep pool. There was no step and no warning how deep the pool was. The next day when arriving at the airport I began to feel sick. I had terrible stomach pains. When we arrived back home in the US I had severe diarrhea and vomiting for 7 days.
I emailed the hotel and they very rudely responded that the “pool is safe”. But I know that the pool water was green and I didn’t see any moving water or filtration system working. The photos of Punta Caliza show rooms that are connected to the main pool. I believe the dirty unsanitary pool water made me sick and I had a terrible case of Travelers Diarrhea. Now I have to worry about some parasites growing in my stomach and it will be necessary to take powerful medicine to kill any worms! Photo shows green water and mold growing on walls!

First of all, the concept of this hotel makes the stay worth it! with that said- I must say- the owner is not very friendly- there were several times I specifically said good morning or good night with no response- literally on their phone like no one else was around, that seems to be the culture also since another front desk staff member who seems to be very close to the owner (and works the evenings) shares the attitude. With that said, this place has two GEMS of staff members, Alex (who works the mornings) and Martitia, the cook, are so awesome and made our stay as wonderful as it was, taking away the bad experience of the others. Alex is so nice, he will serve breakfast and engage in conversation with everyone, he is very personable and quickly became like a friend of us. Martita is the cook and her food is AMAZING to say the least- we looked forward to breakfast every morning! If you stay here I recommend you eat all your meals here, Martita is no joke a GREAT cook and could make a billion dollars if she opened her own restaurant. She is a great asset to this place.

I really loved our stay at Punta Caliza. The staff were all so fantastic, nice and super helpful.

They make a mean mezcal margarita and other mezcal based drinks that really turned me into a fan of mezcal. The only negative was that the WiFi was only available by the pool/dining/ bar area but that was just fine. Good to unplug on vacation anyway! Anyway, our trip was such a unique experience for us.

Why you would make coffee in your room instead of walking the short distance to the bar and getting fresh coffee there is beyond me but I guess some people need all the standard hotel amenities to be happy.

What a beautiful property! The architecture captures a feeling of privacy while still keeping you connected to the land and the space. The members of the team who work here are so friendly and helpful. From the moment we arrived at the airport in Cancun, they went above and beyond to make our time here enjoyable. The food was exciting and delicious and mezcal drinks very enjoyable. Overall, deciding to stay at Punta Caliza was one of the best of the trip to Holbox. We will never forget it!

This is the most unique boutique hotel I have ever been to. I picked this place solely on the photos I saw online. Seeing it all in real life totally met my expectations.

The best hotel in Holbox by far. The architecture and design of the hotel is gorgeous, the staff is friendly and helpful. Food is amazing. A must stop in the island.

Thrilled with our stay at Punta Caliza and definitely plan to come back. This place is a gem of a property in a beautiful and relaxing area, I can't recommend it enough. We shared a double as a group of 3 and it was fine, although I'd love to come back with my husband as it is a very romantic hotel and location! Bonus: by staying here, you're supporting a women and family run business.

Ovarated

It seemed to me largely ovarated compared to other options available.
The rooms are comfortable and fresh with the swimming pool around and the bar is very nice to take some pictures for social networks. But besides that there isn't much more, you have to walk to reach the beach (and you have a lot of good options next to the beach), the service is mediocre and beach bar is poor.
You can find way much better options for this price range.

Gorgeous property run by an equally lovely family

We absolutely loved our stay at Punta Caliza! The rooms, like the entire property, are thoughtfully designed and tastefully decorated, and the food and drink are beyond great. We loved chatting with the property's lovely bartender, Gustavo, who is incredibly knowledgeable about Mezcal and was happy to share other tips about the island with us. The owners' daughter, Claudia, is also a complete gem and really made our stay special. Highly recommend!

Punta Caliza is a DREAM!

Punta Caliza is a DREAM! 1 block from the beach and just far enough from the hustle and bustle of the town square so that there is peace and quiet at night. The hotel staff was amazing and super accommodating. The architecture is beautiful and Holbox is a total dream. I don't typically need the bells and whistles when I'm on vacation and PC offers just the right about of luxury to feel like a 5 star hotel without the fancy amenities. 10/10 - I highly recommend!

Perfect Holiday Getaway

Punta Caliza was everything we wanted in a boutique hotel & more. The staff is attentive & kind, the breakfast is delicious & made with care & attention, location is perfect & the facilities are breathtaking. Don't change a thing because I'm planning on coming back!

Each room has its own plunge pool which then leads out to the swimming pool - architecturally it was incredible. The staff were very welcoming. Breakfast was delicious! The beach area is a slight walk away from the property, but the beds are very comfy and the staff are also very friendly. Delicious food!

Punta Caliza is an absolutely beautiful boutique design hotel in Isla Holbox. It’s off the main thoroughfare and feels quiet/intimate. There are only about 15 rooms total so it’s the perfect sanctuary if you aren’t looking for a classic beach hotel. Food and cocktails were also stellar! Note, this hotel is about a 1 block walk from the beach road on a quiet side street and the designated beach area is another block from there.

The only constructive criticism I would provide is that the staff were rather lax when trying to book services (ie a massage at which we showed up at our appt and found out it was cancelled due to weather w no previous notice).

The stay was fantastic, all of the staff were great. The fact that the owners and the chef were very present and approachable - even as far as them offering tastings from the bar & kitchen - made the stay even more enjoyable. I've already recommended Punta Caliza to 2 friends who loved photos of the hotel. I'll be coming back in the future, it was so great and some of the best food that we had during our stay on the island was at the hotel.

I only have 2 minor suggestions -

Cold water - it would be nice to have self-serve access to cold water throughout the day, perhaps the cooler/jug that's used during breakfast could be left out during the day with water. Not a big issue, staff were always available to provide it at request and there was a container of water supplied in the room - just not cold.

Hair dryer - it would be nice to have a little hair dryer under the sink in the bathroom in the future

The hotel staff were great in setting up all accommodations with day excursions and taxi/shuttle services. They had great (and extremely accurate) recommendations for food & drinks on the rest of the island and everybody knew somebody - which was a great touch.

The front desk staff were very clear and communicative leading up to our check-in and everything until we checked out - shout out to Perla for all of the help!

A GREAT choice

Punta Caliza is one of the most beautiful hotels anywhere....a simple, aesthetic beauty of wood and water. Honestly, I cannot speak highly enough about this piece of serenity. The staff was just so kind and welcoming. They treated us as though they had always known us! We expected some kind of basic breakfast since it is included and we were delightfully surprised with a chef created unique breakfast every day. I would go back here in a minute!!

Beautiful hotel but don't book tours with them

The hotel is beautiful. The restaurant is not cheap but very good and the vibe is great - very relaxing, not many guests and the staff are really personable.
They also have a private beach which is really close and nice. It would be great if the opening times were better (10am-6pm at the moment) as we would have liked to use the facilities earlier in the morning and later at night.

However, our shower had a few issues and the water kept getting cold. We raised this and they sent someone to check it the day after but that did not solve the issue unfortunately.
The only thing we were really disappointed about was that when we booked a tour to Cabo Catoche which included fishing, snorkelling, etc. the hotel told us the agency charged 1,400 pesos ahead, but when we were on the tour, the other guests (from different hotels) told us they had paid 1,000, which did not seem fair at all. I recommend not booking through Punta Caliza for this but going to agencies in the centre of town.
The breakfast was very good but the service was extremely slow.

Punta Caliza is an excellent little hotel, great value for the money! I’m really glad my introduction to Holbox was through the eyes of Caliza. The breakfasts (included) were tasty, the room was comfortable and spacious, the private plunge pool was amazing and the interconnected hotel pool was a joy! I loved sitting in the hammock and watching the birds swoop in for late afternoon baths. Private beach section was very picturesque, we will definitely come back to this place.
