As July came to a close, the island of Holbox was alive with emotion, rhythm, and community spirit, as Ser Casasandra commemorated a remarkable 25 years of soulful hospitality and cultural connection.
From July 25th to 27th, 2025, the beloved boutique hotel hosted an intimate and vibrant anniversary weekend that brought together guests, staff, artists, and long-time friends. More than just a party, the event was a heartfelt tribute to the people and stories that have shaped Ser Casasandra into one of Holbox’s most meaningful spaces.
The weekend kicked off with a moving premiere of a documentary chronicling the hotel’s journey. Founder Sandra Pérez addressed the gathered crowd with words filled with gratitude and humility. “I feel deeply grateful for every being who has touched here… who was able to put part of his heart here,” she expressed, drawing nods and tears from those who’ve witnessed the property’s evolution from a dream into a sanctuary.
That emotional moment gave way to celebration as DJ Antonio set the tone with a relaxed groove that transformed into a vibrant dance floor, driven by Cuban beats and warm island energy. The highlight of the night was a powerful live performance by Goya Award-winning artist Kelvis Ochoa, whose fusion of traditional Cuban rhythms and contemporary sound filled the air with unity and joy.
