Villas Flamingos is set up like a tiny village outside the tiny village of Holbox. Thatched roofs cover gaily-painted buildings, all with balconies and hammocks hung just so to steal the breeze off the turquoise blue ocean. Simply but tastefully furnished, it takes its cues from island living: vivid colors, beach motifs, brilliant white mosquito netting over the bedsÉ The showerheads are made out of seashells and, because it´s very eco-conscious, the run-off goes to water the little garden behind every room. Wonderful side-note: if you happen to arrive late and are exhausted from the trip, you´ll be given a cool drink and led to your room—the check-in can wait until morning!
Consider This ...
Mix visits to Merida and Holbox and you have the perfect beach/colonial experience. Chichen Itza is conveniently located between both destinations so you can throw in a little archeological magic along the way.
You´ll Especially Love
We love how well they do casual and tropical. We love the big, beautiful pool with a view and its giant, fluffy pool towels. We love the Superior class suites—they´re actually bungalows with no neighbors on top, on the bottom or on the sides. They´re very Caribbean in design, with the thatched roofs and huge windows with a view of the ocean just steps away.
You May Want To Know
Villas Flamingos is environmentally friendly and uses a greywater system that recycles water from guest rooms in order to care for the surrounding gardens.
What´s Fabulous Here
If you consider that Holbox is the ideal place to lose yourself for a while, then Villas Flamingos is the epitomy of this. It´s location at the far end of the beach and town make it perfect to enjoy complete quiet while still being a short walk from the island action.
