FAQs

  • To get to Holbox you have to fly into Cancun International Airport (CUN). We highly recommend arranging for a shuttle or car to pick you up from the airport in advance. They are approximately $100-$120 per person round trip depending on how many people join in your group. It includes the 2.25 hour car ride, the ferry tickets and the golf cart tickets to the hotel.

    The shuttle driver will take you to Chiuitas where you will take a ferry to the island. From there, a golf cart will pick you up and take you straight to the hotel.

    We would recommend contacting Trip Holbox. The owners name is David, you can WhatsApp him at +52 1 985 112 5199.

  • The hotel rooms vary in price, but they will cost you $250-$280 a night.

    To book a room, you will need to email reservas@lasnubesdeholbox.com and give them the code BROOKSHIREHONEYCUTT

    We want to be mindful of costs. We realize it’s a lot to ask 50 people to get time off of work + pay for flights and a hotel, so if you are having a hard time with that price just let us know and we can cover your cost! We’d really like to have you there than not!

  • The hotel is called Las Nubes. It’s on the north side of the island, about 25 min away from the city square, and 1 hour walking from the ferry (definitely want to take a golf cart!).

    The hotel will provide complimentary bicycles for you to use to ride to other areas of the island

  • Nope! Please do not rent a car, you will not be able to drive it to the island. If you have plans before or after to go to Tulum or Playa Del Carmin, then rent a car from Cancun Airport. You will still need to hire a shuttle to the island from the airport either way.

  • Absolutely! We will be creating a list of alternatives ASAP! Just please let us know as soon as you decided to do this.

    Would recommend Airbnb and booking directly with a hotel if possible.

  • Yes! Just let us know at your earliest convenience.

    The hotel is giving us special rates, and if you’d like to stay at the hotel longer then just let us know! Their rates for us are $288-$394 per night depending on the room type.

  • We ask that everyone to test themselves 24 hours before you fly out. We really don’t want this to be a super spreader event!! If you received a positive test, we will absolutely refund your hotel cost, and plan a trip to see YOU in 2023 or 2024. :-)

  • You should book flights in January / February to get the best deals. We will be sending out flight deals in the next several weeks as we see them!

  • Reception is alright on the island, but as you will be international you should make sure to check with your provider about your roaming plans. To all of the TMobile peeps, text/data/calling is covered in Mexico!

    We will create a group WhatsApp thread before the trip to organize.

  • Good question! Isla Holbox is a dream for both people who like doing things and people who like doing nothing on the beach. You can go on a tour to see whale-sharks, bioluminescence, cenotes, as well as scuba dive and snorkel! Scuba diving usually happens closer to Cozumel.

What Should I Wear?

Think of this week as Fashion Week in Isla Holbox. Dress to impress and think outside the box. And try not to be a vacation cliche — save the Hawaiian shirts for the pool.
