Hostel Ida y Vuelta

Isla Holbox


A great spot for young backpackers, the stilt-based camps have dorm rooms that sleep eight, or you can stay in wood- or sand-floor cabañas with private bathrooms. There's also a very affordable house with a kitchen – ideal for small groups. From the plaza, head two blocks north, then walk about six blocks east (the hostel is near Hotel Xaloc).

Bring insect repellent.
