The coronavirus pandemic is still impacting travel, and destinations around the world have different COVID-19 restrictions in place. Always check and adhere to local government policies as you're planning any future trips.
What's it like to fall in love with a hotel? Well, let me tell you aboutPunta Calizain Holbox, Mexico. It's best known for its unique architecture — as you can see, the pool is the main focal point of the property.

Holbox is a quiet island along the northern coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula.

Once I arrived on the island, I took a taxi to my hotel.

Did I mention there are no cars on the island? Yeah, so all the taxis are actually golf carts.
当我终于到达Punta Caliza时,我受到了欢迎的玛格丽塔酒,并欣赏了房间周围建造的游泳池的惊人景色。

我在入住时间之前到达,所以我在酒店的酒吧吃了午餐。

每个房间都有直接的游泳池访问。

And I think we can agree the architecture is everything!

But let's talk about the room, because .

Even the shower has that lush outdoor feel.
And to my surprise, each room comes with a private plunge pool, aka a mini pool .

Yeah, I think it's fair to say I'm obsessed.
随附的早餐真好!

Then it was time to hit the beach.
Punta Caliza, despite not being on the beach itself, did have a beach area with loungers.
全方位的氛围是:沙子,冷饮和峰值放松。

While Punta Caliza has great food, I mostly chose to eat street tacos and at local cafes.
I found that Holbox is more of a tourist destination for Mexicans and Europeans, as I didn't see many Americans while I was there.

Also, there are plenty of cute dogs — please enjoy.

The next morning, I indulged in more delicious hotel breakfast.

But after a few days on the island, I had to get back to reliable Wi-Fi to get work done.

Punta Caliza was easily one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever stayed at.
