We wouldn't recommend the palapa roof units due to odor. The odor is stronger in some units, and less in others, but always present; they “treat” these units with a “smell good” to hide the odor, but doesn’t always work. The odor is most likely mold and mildew; this particular unit (#135) didn’t get as much sun to keep it dried out thus the stronger odor. They also spray the roofs with a flame retardant and water-resistant chemical that supposedly dries within 30-minutes and the next guest is ushered in, per the contractor spraying the unit next to ours. We moved to #96 (garden view) on the morning of our 4th day and it was perfect for our needs. You'll notice noise in all units; property is in a good location with tons of restaurants just outside the front gate. We dined on property our entire stay; we had an ocean view at breakfast buffet @ Las Olas and lunch @ Fuego each day AND a daily stop at Starbucks. Property needs maintenance and updating (pools and furniture need cleaned more regularly). No TV, but great WiFi; bring your laptop for streaming, if that’s important. Servers are incredible. BIG SHOUT OUT to Sophia, Enrique and Manuel for taking such good care of us during our stay! While there's a great view here, it's the people that make the difference and the team here is amazing and works so hard to make your stay enjoyable. Front desk was great too, no issues with overcharging etc. and they were quick to move us to a comfier unit when requested. Thank-you!!

Lovely setting - but needs work!

The hotel grounds are lovely, and the view of the (albeit very shallow) section of beach and sea is nice when the sun is out. We liked the proximity to the beach and fuego from our room. However, £700 per person for 4 nights did not reflect the hotel. The rooms are tired, the sun loungers, beanbags etc were all stained,ripped ,bleached. One pool was closed entirely. The service at times was odd. We’d often sit for a long time waiting for menus at lunch, even though there were so many staff around. The food was just ok at fuego. The breakfast had little vegan options, although the staff were lovely & a nice view over the pool. The other a la carte restaurant we tried only once and the food was bad. The hummus was like soup and with no bread? A confused menu. There were no updates/info on the activities (could never find the staff) the concierge never responded on the WhatsApp. We’d go in person to the desk and they were never there. At our 5am checkout we were asked to walk back to the room to get the 2nd plastic key card before they’d let us leave. Once in the cab the security demanded we show a receipt before he’d let us leave, even tho he’d just watched us check out? Could be lovely but needs some serious overhaul with modernisation of the rooms and some injection of initiative to some of the service. Overpriced for a place that reflects a tired 3*. Roberto at dinner, blonde lady at breakfast/lunch & taller/bald beach service waiter all wonderful & worked v hard.

I've been to this property 5 times or more. If I want to stay in a resort in Playa del Carmen, this is the only one I would consider. You are right in town (5th avenue is practically outside the resort) yet it feels like you are in a very natural, almost jungle-ish setting, with a cool vibe and multiple pools and restaurants, and the occasional animal walking by. All other Playa hotels are concrete bunkers by comparison.

The property is absolutely beautiful. Service was great. Just keep in mind. It’s a small private beach for a few feet and then it’s public beach to the water so that can get pretty crowded with the general public using the beach in front of the property.

Mahekal was the ideal resort for our trip for two. We wanted a relaxing beach resort vacation for our anniversary, and that is exactly what we found at Mahekal. We chose the garden palapas room. The palapas were beautiful and full of character, the gardens were lush and well-maintained, the food was good (Las Olas for breakfast or dinner, Fuego for dinner, and anywhere on 5th Ave for lunch), and all of the staff were very kind and helpful. Everyone’s smiling here and the wildlife and plants here seem happy, too. We saw cute coatis and pacas and geckos and many birds. The beach is beautiful and lively. The sand is white and the water is clear. You have access to a wide range of loungers/parasols from within the resort all the way to the shore. No sargassum problems whatsoever in late April. All in all, amazing trip experience. We look forward to visiting again.

Lovely, unpretentious & relaxed resort. Delightful staff - so friendly, welcoming and efficient. Great breakfast buffet at Olas and lunches at Fuego. Dinner buffet wasn’t as good imho. Rooms are small but nice & balconies with hammocks are a lovely touch. Beach also needs more umbrellas as it’s v hot in the sun!

I just came back from a five day vacation at the Mahekal Resort. The property is absolutely stunning. The pictures are very accurate!! The staff were amazing, super kind and helpful, they even made the effort to remember our names. The location was perfect!!! We were right next to the main strip where you will find lots of restaurants, stores, and night life. The food was a bit limited as there were only two restaurants: Olas and Fuego. Im also vegan so my options were even more limited. Fuego had 3 vegan options for lunch and dinner however I hope that the resort can work on expanding their menu. Besides that my mom and I had an amazing trip and I would definitely come back!
