Holiday Inn Veracruz-Boca Del Rio by IHG
Both an indoor and an outdoor pool by the beach
About this hotel
Holiday Inn Veracruz-Boca Del Rio covers both weather scenarios at once, running an indoor pool alongside an outdoor one so a rainy afternoon does not cancel a swim. Las Ventanas Restaurant offers views of the Gulf of Mexico for dinner, and Las Palapas Snack-Bar sits right by the pool for guests who want food without leaving their lounger. Rooms keep things simple, with tiled floors, cable TV and a private bathroom, less design-forward than the five-star properties nearby but consistently well reviewed. A buffet breakfast covers mornings, included for up to two adults per room, and dinner brings a selection of Mexican and international cuisine. The hotel sits less than a mile from Boca Del Rio Beach and about ten minutes' drive from Veracruz's old town, with Baluarte de Santiago Fortress and Veracruz Port both under 6.2 miles away for a longer sightseeing trip.

Our take
Holiday Inn Veracruz-Boca Del Rio is a strong, dependable pick for a traveler who wants both an indoor and an outdoor pool without paying five-star rates, backed by strong review scores despite the simpler room decor. The poolside snack bar is a practical touch for a full pool day. It is a less exciting choice for anyone chasing a design-forward stay or a lively pool-bar scene, since the property leans functional rather than stylish.
- ✓Switch to the indoor pool on a rainy afternoon rather than waiting out the weather, since both pools are included in the stay.
- ✓Grab lunch at Las Palapas Snack-Bar by the pool rather than walking back to the restaurant mid-swim.
- ✓Confirm your breakfast plan covers the right number of adults, since the buffet is included for a maximum of two per room.
Why we love it
- Both an indoor and an outdoor pool on site
- Las Ventanas Restaurant's Gulf of Mexico views
- A poolside snack bar for easy lunches
- Less than a mile from Boca Del Rio Beach
Why guests love itA family at Holiday Inn Veracruz-Boca Del Rio gets a genuine backup plan built in: the indoor pool covers a rainy day so the trip does not lose a swim to weather. Las Palapas Snack-Bar by the pool keeps lunches simple without herding kids back to a restaurant, and Boca Del Rio Beach sits close enough, under a mile, for an easy add-on to a pool day. The buffet's two-adult limit per room is worth checking against your family's size, since extra adults may pay separately.
