We visited Mahahual for the first time, traveling from Cancun with a stop at Xel-Ha along the way. The property manager was very accommodating and arranged a smooth late check-in for us. My daughter absolutely loved the beach right in front of the hotel, and we also booked an amazing snorkeling tour. While the hotel doesn’t have on-site parking, we found a safe spot by the basketball court just behind the property. We stayed in a double room, which was comfortable and met our needs, with cozy beds for a good night’s rest.

We loved the mini pool on the roof where we could watch the cruise ships come and go. There is a stretch of beach right in front of the property which was for the use of the hotel. The owner was wonderfully kind and hospitable. Thanks!

The Proprietor is very friendly and the location is excellent. Mahahual has not yet been developed by international hotel chains. This property is well managed, clean, friendly -- one of the best properties in the area. I recommended it highly and will continue to stay here during future visits.

We really enjoyed our week at the Caballo Blanco. The hotel was very comfortable and was right on the beach and the malecon making it very convenient. Thanks to Tina who was a most gracious host and dealt with any issues quickly and professionally. She was also a wealth of great information and recommendations. We felt very much at home. If/when we return to Mahahual we will definitely stay at the Caballo Blanco again.

Amazing Location!

The view from our room and private balcony was breathtaking! The location cant be beat. The host was friendly and welcoming. The only down side was very hard mattresses, but I've traveled around Mexico enough to know this is not at all uncommon. I will definitely stay at Hotel El Caballo Blanco again!

This is a beautiful property right on the malecon so very little motorized traffic. We loved our room which overlooked the bay. Had coffee on the balcony every morning and watched the sunrise. The fishing and swimming were great right in front of the property. Tons of dining options nearby and Tina, the property owner, was fantastic with lots of suggestions and recommendations.

This is a great little spot on a fairly busy walking street of shops and restaurants. The building is safe and clean and the rooms are large and comfortable. The host Tina is lovely welcoming and helpful. The street can be quite loud with music booming but thankfully not too early and not too late. And the pool isnt really a pool but rather just for putting your feet in. It could be much nicer but i understand there just isnt the staff to worry about this at the moment. Overall really nice place and i would definitely stay again

Hotel El Caballo Blanco is our favorite place to stay at Mahahual Beach. We have been to Mahahual a number of times and now we find ourselves wanting to only stay at this hotel. It is convenient to everything there is to do at this beautiful location. Plus, the hotel itself is very clean with nice roomy beds and showers. Fresh linens and other amenities are supplied. There is even a pharmacy connected to the hotel in case you are in need of any forgotten items. The owner is very personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. She knows all the good spots to keep you active and entertained - just ask! We will return there again for sure😘
