My stay at Mahekal was great. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a very tropical vibe. Location is amazing and the staff was friendly and helpful. One negative thing was I had my bose and apple headphones go missing. While there. The staff was very helpful in looking for them.
We spent 7 days at Mahekal at the end of Jan 2026. LOVED every minute. Small, un-crowded resort with clean pools and spotless, comfortable rooms. The staff is simply amazing and friendly, they made every moment special with their attention to detail. We stayed in the King Palapa gardem view. We loved the natural roof and the attached porch with seating and hammocks. Mahekal is truly a magical place. We did the half-board option with breakfast and dinner buffets and had no regrets. Food was very fresh and a bit different every day. We headed into Playa for lunch, which was great due to the cental location of the resort. We cant wait to go back!!!
Amazing experience! The food was great and the drinks were tasteful. The staff was very friendly and attention to detail. I had the best experience because of them very welcoming and hospitality unlike no other. Money well spent definitely coming back especially to Playa De Carmen just to stay here.
We love Mahekal! We visit every year! The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay exceptional! It’s our home away from home and we love coming back every year.
What a wonderful little resort. It is truly a beautiful and tranquil place just a short walk from the main shopping and dining hub of Playa del Carmen. We extended our stay because we loved it so much!
If you’re going to Expedia. You may think that this is all inclusive. It is but you have to pay extra for it! With the all inclusive and the extra fees, the hotel throws at you. Expect to spend about $1900 extra. Just under 1600 for the all-inclusive. And 300 and extra. Once I got past the initial shock of extra fees. It was an amazing resort! I would suggest getting a room in the upper 100s room. Far enough away from the music. We stayed in 179. Great room, great staff, and amazing food! Absolutely beautiful here. They don’t runoff the wildlife either. Had a cute Coati that lives in a tree next to my room.
