Wonderful property amoungst the craziness of Palaya del Carmen. This is a quiet oasis with great staff, amazing customer service and great rooms. The pools are great, the spa amazing and food options to suit everyone. Dinner at Fuego was a highlight. Thanks to all who made our stay relaxing and very enjoyable.

I could never find my way on your walking paths. I was still lost on the day I left Mahekal. Your map is beautiful but I always had to show it to a grounds worker, point out my destination and ask where to turn and again when another turn was needed. I would like Road Signs along the paths to tell me which way to go.

Mahekal Beach Resort was the perfect hotel for a post-holiday/early January get-away! The rooms weren't anything "spectacular", but they were VERY clean, VERY comfortable and just what we needed. The entire resort was lush and beautifully landscaped and maintained. As opposed to being in a "luxury sterile hotel", it was warm welcoming and quaint". A entirely different experience than most people may want, but the perfect experience for us. I would much rather have a staff where every staff member knows your name and remembers you during your entire visit, than a sterile over the top art deco hotel. The food was out of this world. To have a special lobster dinner on the beach available one evening for the guests was truly out of this world. Everyone from the concierge to the bus boy was phenomenal. We are dying to go back again next year and that's saying a lot since my husband and I have traveled quite a bit and we usually only go to one spot one time! Eleven out of Ten stars! 4+ thumbs up!
