Great layout of resort. Beach during time we were there was not swimmable. Choose beach bungalows overlooking the ocean top bungalow if possible. Even if you get meal deals be prepared to pay tips at every meal. Very relaxing and staff is helpful. Get to meals early when it opens because when busy or towards end it feels rushed. Area felt very safe. Tours recommended by onsite tour guide were great!

Great - casual, unfussy but very nicd

Excellent location. Friendly staff. Room service is inconsistent. Review your bill for incorrect billing. Would stay here again.

I truly appreciated beautiful traditional unique houses where we lived, the nature, and the way the whole resort was maintained. The beautiful beach, comfortable sun-bathing beds, and white towels were great to have! Breakfast menu was great, however, I'd welcome more variety of juices beyond "jugo verde" and "jugo de naranja", like a variety of fruit and vegetable juices with no sugar, however, the selection of food was great. Staff was kind and hospitable, polite and helpful. Our room was always clean.

Everything was wonderful, the staff the food the service and the resort.

The location was amazing. There are so many seating options around the resort and they are very comfortable. I would have liked the hot tub hotter. Several pool options so it wasn’t ever too busy. The staff are so friendly and very hard working. Would definitely recommend.

The first thing you will notice is the awful smell, the beach has so much seaweed it smells of fish. The beach is small and filled with seaweed, so not pleasant at all. It's a busy beach, with lots of local people. Thankfully there is a decent amount of seating on the resort side of the rope. The food was good, I appreciate the decent selection of veg/vegan options, but options are limited, there is only one buffer and one restaurant. You will see the same food selection day in and day out. We went with the all inclusive option, which I would not recommend, since there are so many great restaurant options close by. The daily activities were very basic and limited. This is not a true all inclusive in my mind. There is some nickel and diming for little upgrades here and there, like better drink and food options. Though the facilities are nice, and the staff are mostly very friendly, I would not go back to this resort.

Overall, the staff was very helpful. However, the desk staff did not solve an issue we had. While respectful we encountered inadequate solution and was warned down by the time that it took and the aggravation it caused us while a vacation should be down time. The resort is wonderful, the beach itself and waters are naturally overpowered by the natural phenomun of the seagrass.

Loved the hotel & staff Beach seaweed in front of hotel was not cleared away as I would have expected. There was some effort but the seaweed won while we were there

The staff are amazing always have a smile on their faces & they seem genuinely happy to help in anyway they can if at all necessary. The rooms are spotlessly clean . The location is perfect for peace & if you choose to walk out of the resort gate youre then right into the heart of all the lovely restaurants, loval clothes stores coffe shops etc with a vibrant atmosphere. This is my 3 rd time staying at the mahakel & I will always return . Great private beach areas four pools & beautiful gardens to walk around totally peaceful ohh and the spa is amazing & im a sucker for a deep tissue massage and boy can they deliver . I give this peaceful beautiful resort a 5 star . I have done both ocean views & garden views here and their both excellent choices

Prior to our trip the communication was appreciated. Daniel, our concierge, was so easy to work with. I began receiving texts from the moment we landed. That same communication continued all week long. He made sure to check in throughout the day. Even on his day off he asked if he could do anything for us. Enrique was our setver when dining. He knew our namesand greeted us always with a smile. On our last day he arranged beautiful table for us. He treated us as family. Make sure to meet him and ask for him by name. The room and property were amazing. Staff takes care of your every need. This is the place to stay in Playa del Car

Absolutely Amazing

Great location, great staff! We had a great time. Everything’s tasteful. Book your excursions here!

Mahekal Beach Resort was everything I hoped for and more. From the moment you arrive, you feel transported into a peaceful, bohemian oasis tucked right along the beach. The resort strikes the perfect balance between laid-back luxury and natural beauty—lush gardens, sandy pathways, and charming bungalow-style rooms that make it feel intimate and authentic rather than resorty. The location is unbeatable: steps from the ocean, yet close enough to walk into town when you want a bit of buzz. Waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying mornings with ocean views felt surreal. The pools were beautiful and never overcrowded, and the beach setup was relaxed and inviting.

Great location, and excellent staff.

Beautiful property in a great location.

Entire resort was spotless

They room was noisy as it next to busy street.Furnishings outdated and bathroom floor gets completely soaked every shower. I asked for queen beds and upon checkin had king only double was this disaster. Their hot tubs were cold tubs and unless youre cute or have a handful of tip money beach waiters could care less about serving. Wouldnt recommend completelysoakedake

Clean rooms, friendly staff, clean resort grounds and beaches and pools, close proximity to 5th avenue and shopping outlets.

beautiful facilities and relaxing vibes. staff was helpful
