Xiknal Cozumel

My mum and me had the most wonderful, warm-hearted week at Xiknal. It made our trip really special. It´s a little paradise. The boutique hotel has just a few rooms and feels really intimate. It was so nice to have a kitchen with fridge and all necessary equipment to make breakfast, coffee and tea in the morning. There is also a table to eat. Our room was very spacious and very clean. It was the most comfortable bed in kingsize we had on our whole trip through México. The backyard is a very well-kept little botanical garden with Monsteras, palm trees, a blooming Hibiskus and other big plants. Sometimes you could see Kolibris. It´s beautifully decorated and there is also a little pool to cool down from the island heat. The hotel is in an old building fully renovated by the wonderful owners Rosalba and her husband Baltasar. You can see in every inch how much love, work and thought Rosalba and Baltasar put into the renovation and beautiful decoration of this house. You enter and it feels like a family house. Rosalba and Baltasar are really amazing warm-hearted people. They are always around for questions, recommendations or just a chat about life. When we were there, Rosalba´s sister Marisa was visiting and was such a great enrichment. But my secret star of the house was the amazing puppy dog Paloma. Just the most adorable being you can imagine. Super cuddly and always really excited to see everyone. In the basement of the hotel is a wonderful shop with fashion designed by Marisa and Rosalba. It´s one of the only local and stylish female fashion stores in whole Cozumel. The location of Xiknal is also just perfect. It´s 1 minute walk from the water in a quiet street. A big super market is also in walking distance. We can´t wait to be back!
