Holbox Island is located at the north of Cancun, where the Caribbean Sea
converges with the Gulf of Mexico. Ancestral voices keep whispering old
tales with the winds that refresh Holbox. They tell the stories of the
Spanish galleons that disappeared in these waters, they also tell the
stories of the pirates who took their treasures, pirates like Francisco
Molas. Nowadays people think that Molas found a crystalline source of
water so beautiful that he decided to bury all his treasures here in
Holbox. Who finds the source will find the treasure.

With only 2000 inhabitants Mestizo (Maya, pirates, Spanish and Cuban),
sandy streets and a secluded beach, the atmosphere of a small fishing
village is jealously guarded. Being a wandering island with its fishing
and when it gets late, it goes to the hammock as the heritage of his
life.
Holbox is part of the ecological reserve of "Yum Balam", which covers
154,000 square kilometers of protected areas, where unique species
reside. Not only the whale shark is an attraction in this place. The
arrival of hawksbill turtles, pink flamingos, terns, white pelicans,
different types of iguanas and horseshoe crabs are some examples of the
natural wealth of this area.
Upon arrival at the port, the island invites one to remove their shoes.
Pour into a bag all the stress that is boredom of the city, everyday
life. It is advisable not to make plans, forget time, enjoy the
landscape and the observation of shells, birds and dolphins on the
beach. Holbox Island is authentic and rich with traditions of the sea.

How to Get There:
Casasandra organizes all land and air transportation. We believe that
it's easier this way because the hotel works with companies that have
experience in this field, but if you decide to do this on your own,
there are two ways to get to Holbox.
By Land:
Take the road from Mérida to New Valladolid, take a right at Kantunilkin
and from that point continue on to the small port Chiquilá where ferries
leave all day or private boats. The last big boat leaves at seven in the
evening. The samller boats do not have schedules.
By Air:
From Cancun airport, with a pre-booked small aircraft you will depart to
the small island of Holbox, with only twenty minutes of flight and land
at the small airport of Holbox, where a golf cart will be waiting to
take you to the hotel.
