Nômade Temple Holbox
$300-600+/ noche
Reserva esto si You want the Tulum eco-chic aesthetic without the Tulum crowds, and you're willing to trade solid walls for canvas and sea breezes.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Stunning 'treehouse' architecture that actually feels immersed in the jungle
- Located on the quiet western end of the island near Punta Cocos, far from the noisy town center
- Wellness programming that feels authentic (sound baths, 'Agua Magica') rather than just a hotel add-on
Resumen rápido: A visually spectacular Instagram dream that forces you to battle mosquitoes in your outdoor bathroom.
Reseñado por @amandasparkles: I stayed in the Moon Temple Suite and it was a total jungle dream. The private path made me feel like I was the only one there. Taking a bath outside surrounded by palms was the highlight of my trip. If you want true privacy and nature vibes, this is it.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
The romance of an outdoor shower fades quickly when you're being eaten alive by bugs, and the 'rustic' canvas walls mean zero soundproofing.
- You love the 'barefoot luxury' vibe and don't mind a bit of sand in your bed
- You prioritize sunset views and wellness activities over AC and TV
- You want to be away from the golf-cart traffic jams of Holbox center
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
8
- Housekeeping: Daily service is thorough, but the open-air nature means sand and dust reappear instantly.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean, but 'rustic'—expect some wear on the copper tubs and the occasional bug visitor.
- Maintenance: Generally good, though canvas walls show weathering and zippers can be finicky.
- Linens & towels: High-quality, fresh linens, though dampness can be an issue in high humidity.
- Odors & scents: Fresh ocean breeze mixed with copal incense, occasionally interrupted by swampy smells if the wind shifts.

“I'd love to request a room as far from the main road and kitchen as possible to minimize noise. If booking a Treehouse, a higher elevation with an unobstructed ocean view would be amazing.”
Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is there AC in the rooms?
Yes, all rooms have air conditioning, but it struggles against the canvas walls during the hottest part of the day.
How do I get there from the ferry?
You'll need to take a golf cart taxi from the ferry terminal. It takes about 15-20 minutes and costs ~$150-200 MXN. The ride is bumpy.
Is the beach swimmable?
Yes, the water is calm and shallow, but can be murky or have seagrass depending on the season/tides.
Can I walk to town?
It's a long walk (30+ mins) on the beach or dusty road. You're better off renting a bike or taking a golf cart taxi.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a high-quality a la carte breakfast is typically included in the room rate.
Is there reliable WiFi?
There is free WiFi, but like everywhere on Holbox, it is spotty and slow. Do not plan on taking Zoom calls.

5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'outdoor bathroom' means you might be showering in the rain or with an audience of mosquitoes.
💡The water pressure can be weak, especially in the elevated treehouses.
💡During 'Nortes' (winter storms), the wind noise against the canvas tents can be deafening.
💡You can't flush toilet paper here (common in Mexico, but strictly enforced due to eco-septic systems).
💡The 'jungle' drop-off point for taxis feels like you're being abandoned in the woods before you find the entrance.
