We enjoyed the Mahekal so much the first stay last year that we didn't hesitate to come back. A secluded oasis within the Playa del Carmen and yet so close to the restaurants and shops. Lovely staff and great variety of pools.

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.

This was our 4th time staying here. Every time the staff have been excellent. We especially want to mention 2 staff, Kimberly and Daniel. They both go above and beyond for their guests! This time we did notice more trash around the property, updates needed, especially pool tables, and other game tables.

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!
