Maintenance & Hurricane Recovery on Holbox: Preventive Care and Hurricane Response
After a hurricane, the hotels on Holbox that reopen first already had a contractor on standby, reserved materials and documented damage for the insurer. Low, sandy island with salt, sargassum and hurricane exposure, plus mosquitoes and humidity that punish wood, thatch and exposed steel.
What the Contract Covers
Preventive Maintenance
Scheduled inspections of roofs, facades, waterproofing, pools and plant rooms.
Rapid Response
Crews on call for leaks, failures and urgent repairs.
Post-Storm Recovery
Damage assessment, temporary protection and fast reconstruction.
Response 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. Our standby plan for each hotel defines crews, routes and stored materials so the response starts within hours.
Systems we keep running 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. Preventive maintenance targets exactly these weak points before they turn into closures.
Seasons and occupancy on Holbox
Whale-shark season (June–September) and winter holidays are the peaks; construction is planned for late autumn and spring shoulder months.
