Mahekal Beach Front Resort & Spa

This was our 4th time staying here. Every time the staff have been excellent. We especially want to mention 2 staff, Kimberly and Daniel. They both go above and beyond for their guests! This time we did notice more trash around the property, updates needed, especially pool tables, and other game tables.

Mahekal was the ideal resort for our trip for two. We wanted a relaxing beach resort vacation for our anniversary, and that is exactly what we found at Mahekal. We chose the garden palapas room. The palapas were beautiful and full of character, the gardens were lush and well-maintained, the food was good (Las Olas for breakfast or dinner, Fuego for dinner, and anywhere on 5th Ave for lunch), and all of the staff were very kind and helpful. Everyone’s smiling here and the wildlife and plants here seem happy, too. We saw cute coatis and pacas and geckos and many birds. The beach is beautiful and lively. The sand is white and the water is clear. You have access to a wide range of loungers/parasols from within the resort all the way to the shore. No sargassum problems whatsoever in late April. All in all, amazing trip experience. We look forward to visiting again.

Lovely, unpretentious & relaxed resort. Delightful staff - so friendly, welcoming and efficient. Great breakfast buffet at Olas and lunches at Fuego. Dinner buffet wasn’t as good imho. Rooms are small but nice & balconies with hammocks are a lovely touch. Beach also needs more umbrellas as it’s v hot in the sun!

I just came back from a five day vacation at the Mahekal Resort. The property is absolutely stunning. The pictures are very accurate!! The staff were amazing, super kind and helpful, they even made the effort to remember our names. The location was perfect!!! We were right next to the main strip where you will find lots of restaurants, stores, and night life. The food was a bit limited as there were only two restaurants: Olas and Fuego. Im also vegan so my options were even more limited. Fuego had 3 vegan options for lunch and dinner however I hope that the resort can work on expanding their menu. Besides that my mom and I had an amazing trip and I would definitely come back!

We enjoyed the Mahekal so much the first stay last year that we didn't hesitate to come back. A secluded oasis within the Playa del Carmen and yet so close to the restaurants and shops. Lovely staff and great variety of pools.

Mahekal was paradise. The grounds were so quaint and clean. The staff and service was exceptional. The food was insanely delicious, especially at Fuego. The location was convenient for walking to 5th avenue. The rooms were so cute and the hammocks on the balcony were so relaxing! I don’t have one bad thing to say about this place. Some people complain about loud music. There was one night that there was a wedding. The music was done by 11pm. We were close to Fuego pool and never heard music from surrounding hotels or night clubs. We did bring a white noise machine and earplugs in case. Our vacation was perfect. Special thanks to Alberto at the pool by Fuego, Roberto in Fuego in the evening and Sophia at Olas buffet. Also, all of the staff at Agave were exceptional and we had lots of fun at Agave in the evenings. Can’t say enough positive comments about Mahekal!
