A 38-room beachfront resort on Holbox Island, Mystique Holbox by Royalton offers a private beach area, one pool, a fitness center, and a single restaurant and bar. Rates are room-only or breakfast-inclusive, with breakfast served at the restaurant or in-room.
The stay is defined by its beachfront position and a compact, design-forward scale. Rooms carry a stylish look, and the small size keeps the setting personal, with staff known for being friendly. The trade-offs are practical: prices run high for the island, and service can be slower than the polished setting suggests. If you value a front-row beach address in a boutique-format resort over extensive facilities, the balance works.
Two rate structures are offered: room-only and breakfast-inclusive. On breakfast-inclusive rates, breakfast is available at the restaurant or in-room. The private beach area, pool, fitness center and restaurant are on-site facilities; their inclusion in the rate follows the meal plan selected. Boat tours are available as an activity.
The property has 38 rooms in total. Deluxe rooms form the room category, and named suite categories include the Deluxe Junior Suite, the Premium Junior Suite and the Presidential Ocean Front One Bedroom Suite.
Accommodation choices center on Deluxe rooms, with three named suite categories above them: the Deluxe Junior Suite, the Premium Junior Suite and the Presidential Ocean Front One Bedroom Suite. The inventory totals 38 rooms across the property.
