Simply, it was´nt an experience because the place was not open at the reservation. We arrived on time and The manager simply told us `hey guys you have to wait for an hour before we can have your table ready´ The worst experience I ever had in term of restaurants.
PIEDRASANTA HOLBOXResponded on August 29, 2023
Dear diner. We are aware of this situation, unfortunately these days we have suffered from bad weather that has not allowed us to operate at 100%, our mystical jungle is outdoors, as well as our open kitchen. We are sure that this comment would have been 5 points if you had lived the experience.

Dear diner Thank you very much for your comment, it seems very strange to us since all the supplies we use are of the highest quality. The fish is 100% fresh, local fishing from Holbox.

Hacia muchísimo calor, la comida no fue excepcional para el precio, mi rissoto estaba crudo y tardadisimos en traer la comida
PIEDRASANTA HOLBOXResponded on August 17, 2023
Estimado comensal. Muy amable por el comentario que nos comparte, los tiempos de cocina fueron explicados por el mesero, sin embargo usted presiono para sus alimentos. Nuestro risotto representa un platillo imperdible. El concepto de nuestra jungla mística es abierto; por lo cual no podemos controlar el calor existente.

Excellent food, excellent service! Please find this gem if you visit Holbox. It’s not in a location where you will just find it because it’s not where all the other restaurants are but please do yourself a favor if you are looking for an amazing diner experience and go to Piedra Santa! ✨

Gran lugar con una vibra excelente. La ambientación y musica te hacen sentir bastante agusto. El servicio me pareció bueno, únicamente el mesero que nos cobró insistió en que dejáramos el 20%. Aunque se lo merezcan y se los vayan a dar, me parece de muy mal gusto que el mesero insista en frente de tu mesa en que dejes el 20%..

Food was good, the place was nice however we ended una corner looking the street because it was raining and have few tables covered from rain … what i did not like was the waiter mentioning that he will only get some tip if we give 20% … forcing us to give him 20%… when in mexico the usual tip is 15%… I gave 20% in other restaurants at the island and I might be thinking on doing the same there … I found of really bad for a waiter to do that upfront.
