Hotel Casa Barbara is a nicely landscaped hotel, tucked away in a quiet area of the town. It's only a short walk to the beach, and restaurants are right out the front door. But the difference in price between Casa Barbara and the beachfront hotels make this well worth a second look. Large, clean rooms, nice pool, and pleasant staff.

I stayed there for 4 nights and I loved it , the pool is so nice I really enjoyed, the rooms are nice, the bathrooms maybe a little too small, the gardens and the hamacas so nice to sit and relax and the Hotel is in a good location close to the Ferry and restaurants.

We stayed for 4 nights around spring break time. We met some wonderful people enjoying the pool and grounds. This hotel could be much better but I'm sure that would also raise the very reasonable price. I could say a few bad things but we really did get our moneys worth. Our room was upstairs with a king bed and... More

We spent 5 days at Holbox Island and Casa Barbara in February 2013 and we had a very good time. The hotel is located close to the town centre and some of the nices beaches on the island and the service level is good. The pool area could need an upgrade, and it would have been nice to have a...

We spent three wonderful days in Casa Barbara and I would thoroughly recommend this hotel. We were in room six, just up the stairs overlooking the pool. The room was spacious, clean and beautifully designed using local wood and palapa style roofing - making it feel very rustic and authentic. The gardens are gorgeous, as is the pool, and its... More

This is the place to go if you don't want to spend 1500+ pesos at a beautiful palapa hotel with views and refreshing sea breeze. Good for a few nights if you are only in Holbox for the whale shark thing. For a longer visit, a place with good resting exterior places and less mosquitos would be better. The rooms... More

We spent 6 nights at Casa Barbara in March. The hotel is lovely, our room on the 3rd floor great, the garden and pool area lovely, short walk from the ferry and short walk to all the restaurants and services. The problem was that the hotel was doing major renovations and all day long you had to put up with... More

We live a portion of our year on Isla Mujeres and have explored so many places in the Yucatan, but had never been to Holbox. We went last weekend and thanks to all the lovely reviews of Hotel Casa Barbara we booked 2 nights there. It was more than we hoped--close to the ferry dock and close to the beach--quiet... More
