Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa Message Board - Isla Holbox https://www.zihuatanejo.net/tablero/ Information for visitors and locals about Zihuatanejo, Ixtapa, Troncones, Barra de Potosí and the surrounding region of the Costa Grande in Guerrero, Mexico en Isla Holbox (reply) Locahermanas dos here. We spent three weeks on Isla Holbox starting January 8 this season. You'll find an entirely different culture than Zihua. It's not a real island, but a large sand bar according to locals. The water is very shallow and at low tide you can walk the sand bars for miles and miles. The winds are string and the beach...it's all one long beach, is often densely covered with seaweed...so be prepared for a sort of mangrove odor. ( we're told this is mainly when there are storms...which there were in January)What you have on the island is basically restaurants, bars, a few little shops. You can rent bikes or golf carts to get around, but you can also walk, anywhere, and the taxis are golf carts.There's also kayaking and a school for kit surfing. Fishing at this time is mainly for smaller catch but giant tarpon season starts in April. We stayed at Villas Delfines...palapa style rooms. Check them out on trip advisor.. Bring mosquito repellant and sun screen. And cash. There is one cajero automatically only, and a western union office. You'll find prices a bit high. Whale shark viewing doesn't start until April.

Pending overdevelopment is major part of my interest in going now.

The upside is about half the folks will be real glad to see you, while the folks selling out to the developer won't really care so much. :smoking:

See it quick before it's gone forever (or perhaps in the eyes of folks who think Disneyworld is an "attraction" it will be "improved" ).
