Hostel Haven: Choose Your Character
Hostel Location in Holbox
It is interesting to know that you can only stay in a tiny part of the entire island. It is everything behind the Holbox Ferry, really. It is all called Holbox island though.
The entire village is very walkable and everything is nearby. The location for your hostel in Holbox is not as important as in other cities like Cancún.
Instead, put your focus on the type of hostel you want to stay.
My personal tip: Team up with your hostel mates and rent a beach buggy for the day. It's pure fun!
