    beautiful gardens
    attentive staff
    noisy beach
    repetitive dining

    Overall, the experience at Mahekal was enjoyable with beautiful gardens and a lovely beach atmosphere. However, the noise from the nearby public beach was quite bothersome, and the dining options felt repetitive after a few days. Despite these downsides, the staff was attentive, adding to the positive experience.

    unique experience
    limited seating
    poor lighting

    beautifully manicured grounds, ice cream booth, gorgeous spa

    The steep stairs to the palapa rooms are poorly lit, creating a sketchy experience at night!!! Seating around the pool is ridiculously limited, and security could use a friendlier approach!!! The evening food options leave much to be desired!!!

    beautifully maintained gardens
    stunning pools

    The pools are stunning, and the gardens are so beautifully maintained. Enjoyed lounging in the shaded hammocks near my room and loved the easy access to the beach. Don't miss the amazing drinks from the swim-up bar!

    Felt like a VIP, nothing too much trouble.

    Can recommend for a weekend stopover

    Beautiful resort, friendly staff, where I enjoyed the top-notch breakfast at Las Olas and relaxed by the infinity pool that offers beach access just a short walk away from the resort.

    paradise but not perfect

    The Palapa Double Room captivated me with its unique rustic charm and beautiful garden view, which made my mornings truly special. The atmosphere was serene, and I felt completely at ease with the friendly staff always ready to assist. Additionally, the food was a delightful surprise, with every meal presenting fresh flavors that kept me excited about dining.

    However, I faced some difficulty in adjusting the AC temperature, which made sleeping a bit uncomfortable.

    great value

    It was a well-suited match for spending a night in Playa del Carmen with real value for money. The staff were super helpful, especially Rogelio, who brightened our mornings with his kindness. Make sure to confirm any dining options beforehand to avoid extra costs from tips.

    beautiful grounds
    exceptional service
    unique ambiance
    ac regulation issue
    crowded public beach

    Mahekal Beach Front Resort & Spa exceeded my expectations during my recent business stay. The beautiful grounds, combined with exceptional service, created a perfect environment for relaxation after work. The room decor was both modern and rustic, providing a unique ambiance. I particularly appreciated the hammocks on the porch and the attentive staff, who assisted in setting up my presentation materials and ensured I had everything I needed for a successful work trip.

    Difficulty in regulating the AC temperature.

    Great for couples looking to unwind

    The resort was quite beautiful on the inside, and we really enjoyed lounging in the hammocks by our Ocean View Palapa King Bed! ! The staff was unbelievably friendly, making our stay feel extra special, especially when Rosa helped us plan a fantastic dinner that was truly unforgettable.

    It wasn’t cheap, but still acceptable.
