Great layout of resort. Beach during time we were there was not swimmable. Choose beach bungalows overlooking the ocean top bungalow if possible. Even if you get meal deals be prepared to pay tips at every meal. Very relaxing and staff is helpful. Get to meals early when it opens because when busy or towards end it feels rushed. Area felt very safe. Tours recommended by onsite tour guide were great!

The location was amazing. There are so many seating options around the resort and they are very comfortable. I would have liked the hot tub hotter. Several pool options so it wasn’t ever too busy. The staff are so friendly and very hard working. Would definitely recommend.

Mahekel has soul, charming palapas; beautiful pools, great beach; close to 5th avenue adventures in shopping.

The staff are amazing always have a smile on their faces & they seem genuinely happy to help in anyway they can if at all necessary. The rooms are spotlessly clean . The location is perfect for peace & if you choose to walk out of the resort gate youre then right into the heart of all the lovely restaurants, loval clothes stores coffe shops etc with a vibrant atmosphere. This is my 3 rd time staying at the mahakel & I will always return . Great private beach areas four pools & beautiful gardens to walk around totally peaceful ohh and the spa is amazing & im a sucker for a deep tissue massage and boy can they deliver . I give this peaceful beautiful resort a 5 star . I have done both ocean views & garden views here and their both excellent choices

Mahekal is our home away from home and we always recommend them as a great resort to stay at. We have stayed at the resort 12 times now and every time is a special time. Some of the staff has been there for 15 years plus and are always welcoming and go above and beyond to make sure the guests old and new feel special! The only negative the last couple trips has been the hot tub/jacuzzi’s have been anything but warm/hot and this years trip the wait time getting in for breakfast was something we had never experienced and could be avoided if they opened back up the other restaurant Fuego for breakfast.

We spent 7 days at Mahekal at the end of Jan 2026. LOVED every minute. Small, un-crowded resort with clean pools and spotless, comfortable rooms. The staff is simply amazing and friendly, they made every moment special with their attention to detail. We stayed in the King Palapa gardem view. We loved the natural roof and the attached porch with seating and hammocks. Mahekal is truly a magical place. We did the half-board option with breakfast and dinner buffets and had no regrets. Food was very fresh and a bit different every day. We headed into Playa for lunch, which was great due to the cental location of the resort. We cant wait to go back!!!

My second stay at Mahekal, will definitely go back again. An excellent time every visit! Staff is incredible and the resort is beautiful.
