I begin with an apology! As my travelling companion stated upon our arrival, one cannot help but describe the experience of Mawimbi except with hyperbole, and I find that I cannot write this review without it as well. I may sound extreme in my adjectives, but by no means am I exaggerating. Two of my childhood friends and I--on what... More

My husband and I stayed at Mawimbi on our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. We stayed in the ocean front room for most of our stay, and because we extended our visit we had to switch to a bungalow for our last night. Both rooms were great, but we think the ocean front is worth it if you can book... More

My friend and I stayed in the small bungalow at Hotel Mawimbi in mid-May 2013. Although we were at first surprised at how close it was to the reception area, we knew in about 30 minutes that this would be no problem. The adorable bungalow with small kitchen and thatched roof was perfect in every way. Aside from a little... More

We spent three days in Mawimbi hotel during summer 2012. Everything was perfect: food, room and general attention by their Italian owners. All their staff were always kind and helpful. We did feel at home every minute.

Holbox was our first destination at the start of our Yucatan holiday. We just had 3 nights there before moving on, and wish that it could have been longer. Posada Mawimbi was the perfect place to wind down after all those pre-holiday preparations and a long trans-Atlantic flight. Following many helpful emails from Claudia and Jeevyl, we decided that we... More

Beautiful hotel, beautiful island. Beautiful beach. I loved staying here & we had 7 easy nights to unwind & bask ourselves in this sun drenched island. My favorite thing about Mawimbi was the palm trees, cleanliness & deep rested sleeps...one cool thing was seeing the owner bring in his catch, sword fish by spear & free dive - doesn't get... More

We stayed at the Mawimbi for about 10 days in April 2013. It is perfect, and the attention to detail is everywhere. The owners Onnie and Carmelo, and the staff (Jeevyl and Claudia in the reception and the waiters and gardners) obviously enjoy what they do and they seem to be genuinely interested in ensuring that their guests enjoy themselves....

Great place to spend time doing nothing but relaxing for a few days. Located right on the white sand beach. Lots of hammocks to lounge around. Staff were very nice and helpful. Felt like I was staying in a tree house, decorated with shells and Mexican textiles. Would recommend to families and friends that like a place that likes to... More
