Hotel Kitchens & Laundries on Holbox: Back-of-House That Works at Full House
Main kitchens, banquet kitchens, outlet kitchens and laundries for hotels on Holbox, rebuilt for full occupancy while service continues. Whale-shark season (June–September) and winter holidays are the peaks; construction is planned for late autumn and spring shoulder months.
What We Build Behind the Scenes
Main & Banquet Kitchens
Flows from receiving to plating, sized for peak banquet nights.
Cold Rooms & Stores
Chilled and frozen storage, dry stores and receiving docks.
Laundries
Washers, dryers, ironers and folding with water, steam and drainage sized correctly.
Water, gas and drainage for kitchens on Holbox
Power through a submarine cable fails regularly, water is scarce and sewage infrastructure is limited, so treatment plants, solar and back-up power are core hotel projects. Kitchen and laundry design starts with these supply limits: storage tanks, grease interceptors and water reuse are sized accordingly.
Equipment logistics on Holbox
Materials go by barge from Chiquilá and then by small vehicles on sand streets, so prefabrication, light systems and resident crews are the norm. Hoods, cold rooms and laundry machines are scheduled and installed with these access conditions in mind.
Permits and authorities on Holbox
Inside a federal protected area, every project needs environmental authorisation from federal agencies and Lázaro Cárdenas municipality; wastewater and density are the critical points.
