Mahekal Beach Resort

Great location and good food! We had a beach front room with plunge pool and it was awesome! My only real complaint is that the food would get pretty old if you stayed more than 5 days or so (menus never changed). Overall, we had a great stay and almost didn’t want to leave our patio because it was only a few steps from the water. We could hear the waves crashing every night. Definitely Recommend!

This place is better than the pictures!! Hands down this is absolute best place you can stay in Playa Del Carmen, and I’ve visited PDC three times and this is paradise! The hotel is right on the beach with amazing views, beautiful accommodations, delicious food, gorgeous pools, the best location (right in town) and the nicest staff that you can imagine. You 100000% should stay here if you are debating where to stay! My mom and I did a mother daughter trip and it couldn’t have been more perfect, she enjoyed water arobics and yoga during the day while I worked (amazing WiFi if needed) and then we both explored as PDC is just outside your door. In my opinion this part of PDC is much more enjoyable than when you stay further south (near the ferry but is still walkable if you want to check out Cozumel). Can’t wait to come back! And an extra shout to the amazing hostess Yexaini who was beyond kind and the recreation manager Josue. Thank you to everyone at Mahekal, we can’t wait to return!

Everything was above average except the private plunge pool. The water was cold and it seems a shame to have a private plunge pool and not be able to enjoy it because the water is too cold. Also the finishes in the plunge pools could be better and more refined. Overall they should be refurbished and heated to 32 - 33 degrees.

This is our 3rd time at the resort. Love the jungle-like premises and bungalows. The grounds are very natural for a resort in the center of a town. This is not a high-rise hotel where you wake to the sound of leaf blowers. However, you will more than likely hear the music from beach clubs down the way at night. Mahekal provides earplugs for that reason and they worked great! SERVICE- We were absolutely thrilled to see our favorite server was still at the resort. SOPHIA Is outstanding at her job and looked after us every morning and afternoon for lunch. We didn't have to ask for anything! SPA- Our dive tour was canceled because of winds so we enjoyed a day in the hotel spa. Again, a wonderful and relaxing experience. WEDDING- We will be back again in February 26 for my daughter's wedding. I have been working with resort's wedding planner Laura. She has made this planning process easy and we cant wait for the final results!

Stayed at Mahekal for a girl’s trip and loved it! The property is beautiful, right on the beach off a cute avenue full of restaurants. Everyone working at the resort was friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Josue, who led the activities! We had a great time during his water dancing class!
