We had a great time at Mahekal. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and very well maintained. The stag was incredible the entire time. They were very attentive and friendly and very personable. The only thing that we didn’t like, or could I say wish was a little better, was the showers in the rooms. The fixtures were outdated and the water pressure was very low. Hard to rinse off your entire body. Especially for my wife and trying to wash her hair and get the shampoo and conditioner out. But seriously…overall we would definitely go back and stay with Mahekal. Absolutely beautiful resort.

An Unforgettable Stay at Mahekal Beach Resort
We recently stayed at Mahekal Beach Resort in Playa del Carmen, and it was an absolute dream. We booked the Oceanfront Casita, #36, which came with a private balcony and a plunge pool, offering stunning views of the ocean. The room was spacious, well-maintained, and beautifully decorated with authentic Mexican charm. What truly made our stay exceptional was the outstanding service. From check-in to check-out, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They were attentive, friendly, and always willing to offer helpful tips for exploring the area. The location was perfect—just the right distance away from the bustle of Fifth Avenue. It was close enough to walk to the shops and restaurants when we wanted to, but far enough for a peaceful and relaxing experience by the beach. If you’re looking for a serene, beautiful getaway with top-notch service and stunning oceanfront accommodations, Mahekal Beach Resort is the place to be. We can’t wait to return!

I have stayed in Palace, Occidental, Iberostar and Mia Reef Isla Mujeres resorts which were all inclusive hotels and they had more to offer than Mahekal for the price and not being all inclusive sorry but its not worth it. I received my two rooms 40 minutes late with no explanation there were mouse droppings on my bed and the hotel is small and not much too offer. I don't recommend this place to anyone
