I'm Kim the Abundant Traveler and this is the gorgeous Casa Las Tortugas in Holbox,
Mexico.
Welcome to this beautiful Island off the Yucatan Peninsula in Holbox, Mexico.
If you're new to the channel, I'm Kim, and I share weekly videos about exciting destinations
and tips on how to make your travels easier and more fun.
This channel is laid-back luxury with a little side of shenanigans.
I hope that my experiences encourage you to get out there and go.
Casa las Tortugas is a well known boutique hotel in the heart of Holbox just a couple
of blocks east of the main square.
As you enter the compound you are welcomed by the gorgeous tropical greenery and a sense
of peacefulness.
The front entrance leads to a central courtyard where you find a cool and inviting swimming
pool.
Next you cross the short bridge to the open reception area.
Here, you're welcomed by the friendly staff who check you in and share all the amenities
of the hotel.
After you've been checked in one of the staff members will guide you around the property
show you where everything is, and lead you to your casita.
Each room and casita is unique and all of them have private balconies and private hammocks.
We chose one of the garden casitas which were located at the back of the property but we
didn't feel like we were missing out on the ocean front views because it was only about
twenty steps to the beach.
Our room was named after Frita Calo.
It was a traditional white washed adobe style casita with two beds, traditional Mexican
artwork, tiles, and a stunning painting of Frita herself.
Note this hotel and Holbox in general is very eco friendly.
The grounds of the hotel are just spectacular.
It's a private oasis with sand walkways, lush foliage, and waves crashing in the background.
The hotel has an inviting yet simple spa, and yoga every single morning.
The setup at the beach just beyond Restaurant Mandarina is to die for.
There are plenty of daybeds and hammocks for everyone.
But I do recommend you head out early and find your perfect lounge spot before everybody
else gets out there.
Breakfast is included at the hotel and on Sundays, look at what you get.
Chilaquiles with eggs, green sauce.
I'm ready to dig in.
Holbox is known for seeing the whale sharks.
Make sure to check out my video on tips for going out and seeing the whale sharks.
The hotel can definitely book your excursion for you.
If boat rides and adventures aren't your thing, this hotel is perfect for leisurely strolls
along the beach or reading out on one of the day beds.
And while you're staying at the hotel, you definitely want to have a spa treatment.
I chose the More Mud bath and massage.
I love the simplicity of the spa and the ease of booking my treatments.
Make sure to take advantage of restaurant Mandarina's morning breakfast.
They always have delicious coffee and pastries and always offer fruit and granola.
Also, make sure to book at least one dinner at the restaurant while you're staying at
the hotel.
It was absolutely the most delicious food we had during our entire stay on Holbox.
I hope you enjoyed this tour of Casa Las Tortugas in Holbox, Mexico.
