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

During my stay at the hotel I felt so comfortable: Cori from concierge was so kind and helpful ! She is a professional! The Bungalow option with a private pool was great. The food was good. The beach was clean with no weeds. The stuff was friendly and helpful.

The beach front bungalows are one of a kind, very difficult to find anywhere - these were beautiful and rustic, just what I was looking for.

I stayed a little over a week. Everything and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean. The only thing I didn’t like was the bugs, ants, and little worms crawling on the bed while sleeping.

This hotel is a 3 star at best. The best part about this resort is the location. It is directly on the beach and in walking distance to tons of great restaurants and shops. The bathrooms are small with barely room for toiletries (single sink), the sinks are corroded and aged and the shower is made more for outdoors. The mosquitoes are everywhere and there’s an inch gap letting them in at the bottom of the room doors which we had to cover with towels. We weren’t made aware of the animals (coatis) on property and only found out on social media. These are raccoon-like creatures which were crawling on the roof of our palapa while we were relaxing on the hammocks. A very unpleasant surprise! One of the worse parts of our stay was the smell. I read in reviews and thought it was isolated. No! It smells like sewage throughout the resort, even the beach. Also, the cleaning supplies used by the staff are ineffective and actually smelled worse as if they were using the dirty sewage water. I would strongly suggest to find another resort in the area.

I reserved a massage for two, two days in advance. With the coupon they offer for one person and was going to pay for the second person. In the end they didn’t do it Saying that they never reserved it and they made a mistake. That was awful.

The property is located right on the beach & the Mayan esthetic is lovely. The vibes of the property are calm & quiet. Rooms are simple, clean, & have a nice esthetic flow. The all inclusive half board doesn’t include drinks but the food that I had was decent. The breakfast is nicely laid out with some good options of fruit, omelets station, quesadillas, juice coffee etc. if you order anything extra such as a latte or a cocktail it does cost extra and they do expect tips. My check-in was fine, however I was early so when I came back to get my room, they gave it to someone else resulting in a downgrade for me. Luckily Expedia has excellent customer service and they made things right by giving me a refund & credit. My room was comfortable except the shower head was old and filled with lime resulting in water spray everywhere. My door had a huge gap opening even when closed and at one point a large cockroach was in the room. The maid service is very efficient and they make sure that everything is tidy and refilled. The one thing that blew my mind was the charge of 60 pesos for a coffee pod and 65 pesos for a cheap bottle of water. To me that is really in poor taste and unacceptable for a so-called 5 star. The beach is beautiful but unfortunately if you come on the weekend, you can expect it to be completely packed and loud until 1 am with loud music etc the hotel has its own roped off area but it’s still really overcrowded on the beach. Overall it was an average experience.

It was pretty to look at and pools were nice. Staff was very friendly and the food was good. On the down side: The 1st night we were in a bungalow (best on property) and right by beach. Did not sleep all night due to people on the beach playing guitars, yelling all night long and people playing bongos at 5am. Was so bad we asked for a down grade and moved our place to somewhere quieter on the resort. Also we were locked out of our bungalow 2x the first time for 45 min and second an hour. Lock kept breaking and maintenance had to fix. Another reason we asked to move. There are no tv’s or microwave in rooms. The fridge is full of their drinks they want you to buy and no room for your own drinks to keep cool. The coffee in the rooms you have to pay for also. Ate at the best restaurant on the property and when seated we had to ask to move tables due to so many ants all over the table. The all inclusive only included a breakfast and a dinner each day at their selected restaurant only. No drinks included. Rip off. There are also a lot of mosquitoes! There is no shuttle from airport to resort or vice versa and it cost us $480 to get from and back to airport. It was nice to look at but would not recommend. Stay somewhere just as nice with as good or better amenities.

check in and out is horrible. The property is beautiful but they need to expedite the check in and out. You have to stand in a hot outdoor covered area, but, unbelievable they have one staff member only.
I have gotten day passes there a few times before, and it's the same thing, this time, I rented a room, but, it was not a pleasant experience.

The resort was absolutely amazing and peaceful for my 6year old daughter and I. First time having a vacation in over 12 years and I couldn’t have picked a better place. My daughter and I had such a beautiful time here. The staff I can’t say enough good things about them. They even remembered our names. I never once had to ask for anything, just genuine, accommodating and sweet. We will definitely be coming back! Missing it already!! <3

The property was really well maintained. Room was big and clean, restaurants were excellent, you have a lot of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Pools were nice and the access to the beach was convenient. The only thing that needs to improve is the wi-fi in the rooms, a little bit spotty sometimes. Overall was an excellent stay and I definitely will love to come back and stay.

We had to change rooms twice - - once because of flooding and the second time because we were moved to a terrible room with an unlocked/unsealed door, mold, and no view. We finally moved into a “voluntary downgrade,” a room half the size what we paid for with bonus bedbugs. Management offered no apology or compensation, in spite of asking three times.
The food was nice, and the service staff in the restaurants were outstanding! The pools were wonderful, and being beachfront was fun! Loved the town for shopping and other restaurants.
