Villas HM Paraiso del Mar is a rustic Mexican style beach hotel perfect  as a base to explore Mexico's relaxed Holbox island. 

Basking on the sparkling white sands at Holbox on Mexico’s gulf coast, Villas HM Paraiso is perfectly positioned for exploration of this up and coming destination for travellers looking for a relaxed, unspoilt beach holiday. The low-rise thatched property blends in seamlessly with its palm-dotted surroundings. The coast lies just beyond a quiet lane in front of the hotel’s garden. 

Guest rooms are simply furnished, with splashes of colours beloved of the region, featuring polished wooden floors and shutters and discreet artwork. Most have open air terraces with chairs and hammocks where you can be caressed by the sea breezes. 

The public areas are particularly attractive and spacious, with an al fresco restaurant and solarium and a small pool with loungers framed by flowery tropical gardens. The reading room is especially cosy. This economical property appeals to families who aren’t looking for constant entertainment, While some guests are staying on an all-inclusive basis, we recommend you venture into town to sample the many eateries.
