Mahekal Beach Resort

Where to begin! This place lives up to its name. It’s magical!! The atmosphere, the food, the people. Loved having our personal concierge on WhatsApp. So helpful in finding local inside info. The rooms are bright and the beds comfy. The air conditioning is perfect. Walk around the beautifully maintained grounds, jump in a pool or swim in the ocean. Stop by the spa and listen to the sound bath. Or better yet sign up for one. Amazing! This place is a gem.

Beautiful resort if you're looking for boutique, nature, great food, and uniqueness. Bring good mosquito spray for the evenings - as expected with all the surrounding nature. Sophia Marie was a very attentive server. The melted cheese and the corn cake at Fuego restaurant are to die for. Also, must try Farmers Sandwich on lunch menu and the vegetarian pasta on the dinner menu. Venture and explore the whole resort. Starbucks on premises, awesome spot to cool down on extremely hot days, especially for those with kids (change of scenery from your room). The pool next to Fuego restaurant gets the most shade. Went with 6-month-old - she loved the pool, the strolls, and all the attention from all the staff on the premises. One thing the hotel could do better is on the coffee pod refills in the room.

The resort is gorgeous. There are a few things though that could be improved, like some maintenance, sharpe tiles in the pool, the palapa roofs that make your bed really messy, one of the restaurants being closed, jet streams in the pool that are turned off. That being said. It’s the staff that made our stay truly amazing! Daniel who was always there to help. Sofia who has made every breakfast amazing and was so sweet and kind to us. Josue and Maria who were so fun as animation team. Braian who is the best waiter and who was there to help us almost every diner. Also a big thank you to Ana, Virgilio en to Manuel for everything! Without exceptions, the staff is amazing.

Cleaning….service….restaurants and all waiters Sofia cirille Roberto (don t remember other names sorry)and everybody collaborated to amazing vacations Men and women at the reception!!!! I ll be back!!!!they cleaned sargazos as they could but it s not their fault!!!! Affogato al caffè in Starbucks here is excellent!!!!with whipped cream!!!! And you feel safe because there many guardians!!!they block people from public beach and they check your bracelet!!!at the entrance of the room there is a little Fontaine to clean your foot!!!and in the evening there are some little animal in the resort…so cute And the spa….

Let me start with the positive: The staff is amazing! Every single person we interacted with was kind and so helpful. Carlos, Ivan, Sofia, Roberto, and Josue made our stay extra special. They really made our trip special. If you are looking for a resort that is chill and little frills this is your place. The pools are nice. Olas pool is perfect since it overlooks the ocean. The vibe is very laid back. You aren’t going to find loud music, staff pushing booze, or late night parties. The spa was amazing! A little expensive but well worth it. The food was good albeit not a broad selection like other resorts I have been to. We thought being close to town would be nice but we didn’t go into town much. If you want access to the local stores and restaurants you cannot beat the location. If you are looking for luxury this is not your place. The first room we stayed in was awful. It was very small and the bathroom was old. We initially looked to leave the resort. After speaking to the night and day managers they made it right by upgrading our room which was very nice. We spent every evening on the terrace overlooking the ocean. Keep in mind the beach is public and can be loud with people and music. It didn’t bother us but I could see where it might others. Make sure you know what room you are getting when you book your reservation. The restaurants (there are only 3) are open air which is nice when there is a breeze but not when the air is still. Overall, our stay was nice and relaxing which is exactly what we came for.
