Local knowledge for Isla Holbox
Where to stay
Budget hostels cluster in the few blocks around Parque Central and along Calle Tiburon Ballena, close enough to the beach and the ferry dock that you won't need a golf cart for daily errands. Avoid booking anything marketed as 'Punta Coco side' unless you want boutique prices.
Getting around
- The ferry from Chiquila runs until around 9pm. Take the ADO bus from Cancun's main terminal directly to Chiquila rather than a tourist shuttle, and you'll pay a quarter of the price for the same ride.
- Rent a bicycle from one of the shops on Calle Palomino rather than a golf cart. The island is flat and small enough that a bike covers everything, and you'll save a good amount per day.
- Food stalls around the Mercado Municipal on Calle Igualdad serve fish tacos and fresh ceviche cheaply. The beachfront restaurants on Calle Tiburon Ballena are aimed at tourists and charge triple for the same ingredients.
When to go
Hostels fill up and prices spike from late June through August when whale sharks draw crowds, and again over Christmas and Semana Santa. October and early November are the best window for cheap beds and uncrowded beaches.
