Everything was perfect! Everyone was very friendly from the moment we arrived until we left. We had a wonderful time. Braian, Armando, Roberto, Enrique, and Luis were always attentive to our needs. The food was delicious, and the restaurants were great, too. Thanks to Mahekal Beach Resort for making our stay the best.

Our stay was extraordinarily quiet and relaxing. The customer service across the board was outstanding, every team member we interacted with was genuinely kind, attentive, and welcoming. A special shoutout to Enrique and Marcos, who were both amazing and consistently greeted us with warm smiles! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the food and drinks exceeded our expectations. The lobby team also deserves praise for their seamless service. Our only minor feedback would be to offer a few more on-site activities, though we completely understand that options are lighter given the low season. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Amazing hotel right by the beach. They also had a coffee shop in the hotel and their gym and day activities were so fun. They had merengue classes, water aerobics, Pilates, yoga, and so many other activities throughout the resort. Their spa was amazing too, we got facials and massages and the staff were so nice. Definitely recommend, great location!!

Super value resort hotel in a great location. Beach-front rooms probably have the best situations, but the forest rooms are quiet and offer some interesting wildlife - agoutis, coati mundis, and so on.

This is a really lovely hotel and we had a great relaxing holiday. The staff are all so nice and really helpful. The pools are lovely and the food is also good which isn’t always the case with all inclusive. The only issue was that there were water problems in the town and water was cut out for a good few hours on 2 of the days. Obviously this is not the fault of the hotel but they handled badly by not telling people and having them à heads up. There were no toilets for 4 hours and if they had been more proactive then people could make alternative plans. Other than that I would go back anytime!

This place is beautiful very zen like vibes. Property is very well kept up with a secluded private feeling. Located in the middle of everything. The road coming into it starts all of these vines the place has. Would’ve gave them 5 stars across the board if it weren’t for the night manager being very rude when the AC went out in our room after a long day of scuba diving. We were moved to another ocean view room like we had after some unnecessary arguing with the guy.

Great, helpful, and friendly staff that make an effort to recognize guests despite the short time allowed. The breakfast buffet was filled with alternatives that should suit every visitor - from greens to eggs and sides to pancakes and sweets. However there were invariably lines for omelets every day. While I don't mind waiting for my breakfast to be prepared, I do expect to be able to wait at my table while consuming another item that I will enjoy.

Loved this place, it was beautiful. Rooms very clean, staff awesome, pools were clean and loungers available. My only complaint was the seaweed at the beach. I understand its a huge problem but there was not attempt to clean it all in front of their property. It smelled really bad. Other places close by made attempts to clean it front of their beach. But I would return here, just at a different time of year.
