Casa Sandra

On one memorable day, she landed in Cancun, and her attraction to the land of the Mayas was immediate and overwhelming! Little did she know then that her dream place was right there on an island where Mayas lived from time immemorial: Holbox Island… little did she know till she disembarked on this enchanting island. Nothing she ever saw was more delightful than the game nature effortlessly played with colors, the charm of the people who lived there - the barefoot fisherman with golden sparking smiles - the women weaving rainbow “hamacas? while wearing high heels stoutly implanted into the sand.

Mesmerized she thought: “ I must do something here!? Slowly a project started to germinate and to take root. Today, on the beach, facing the sea with an ever-changing shades of blue, this project has become a reality, she calls it: “A Hotel with a Human Sensitivity.

This new concept could be called revolutionary if it would not have been so friendly. It consists of twelve rooms, all facing the sea. The architecture concept is bucolic yet luxurious.  Here, our guest’s privacy and complete satisfaction are our concern and consequently answered with zeal.

Our pride is the way we have designed the environment for our guests through every details, from our art gallery filled with paintings to the beautifully designed and crafted furniture in each individual room.

We enhance the senses through emotions, poetic sensitivities, through the rainbow of “hamacas? swinging with the breeze, the rich scent of fresh coffee, the sea visible at every angle, gastronomically enchanting dinners by candle light; like colour strokes on a canvas, this place becomes magical, it becomes “The Space for your Dreams?.

 

  BEDROOMS

Inspired by the genius of man and the gifts of the earth, the serene spectacle to the sea, combined with smooth sheets invite relaxation. Every window is the reflection of the marine world that cradles you, untamed, endless, a reflection that changes colour at every quivering of a capricious sun.

The furniture and all items that surround you come from organic-hand made artisans. This effort reflects the belief of a hotel that looks for the harmony of mind, body and spirit. The cosiness comes from the criss-crossing of trunks of trees holding the “palapa?, dreamy mosquito nets, soft hand-weaved materials, paintings and pictures that incite tranquillity and restores one’s quest for an inner peaceful space.

There are three different kinds of occupancy in our hotel. The Superior, The Junior Suite and The Master Suite. Each one of them is meant to be an unexpected discovery. Here there are no excesses, nor over decorated rooms, no desire to impress, but a well-designed environment for graceful dreams.
