We wouldn't recommend the palapa roof units due to odor. The odor is stronger in some units, and less in others, but always present; they “treat” these units with a “smell good” to hide the odor, but doesn’t always work. The odor is most likely mold and mildew; this particular unit (#135) didn’t get as much sun to keep it dried out thus the stronger odor. They also spray the roofs with a flame retardant and water-resistant chemical that supposedly dries within 30-minutes and the next guest is ushered in, per the contractor spraying the unit next to ours. We moved to #96 (garden view) on the morning of our 4th day and it was perfect for our needs. You'll notice noise in all units; property is in a good location with tons of restaurants just outside the front gate. We dined on property our entire stay; we had an ocean view at breakfast buffet @ Las Olas and lunch @ Fuego each day AND a daily stop at Starbucks. Property needs maintenance and updating (pools and furniture need cleaned more regularly). No TV, but great WiFi; bring your laptop for streaming, if that’s important. Servers are incredible. BIG SHOUT OUT to Sophia, Enrique and Manuel for taking such good care of us during our stay! While there's a great view here, it's the people that make the difference and the team here is amazing and works so hard to make your stay enjoyable. Front desk was great too, no issues with overcharging etc. and they were quick to move us to a comfier unit when requested. Thank-you!!

Even though the property was just off the main street, you would never have known it. It is a hidden gem alongside the beach.

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.

We will stay there again and the staff is great wish the water pressure in the rooms was way better. Barely worked while there. Wish you had a shuttle service to and from airport that was available and reasonably priced.

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.

Mahekal was the ideal resort for our trip for two. We wanted a relaxing beach resort vacation for our anniversary, and that is exactly what we found at Mahekal. We chose the garden palapas room. The palapas were beautiful and full of character, the gardens were lush and well-maintained, the food was good (Las Olas for breakfast or dinner, Fuego for dinner, and anywhere on 5th Ave for lunch), and all of the staff were very kind and helpful. Everyone’s smiling here and the wildlife and plants here seem happy, too. We saw cute coatis and pacas and geckos and many birds. The beach is beautiful and lively. The sand is white and the water is clear. You have access to a wide range of loungers/parasols from within the resort all the way to the shore. No sargassum problems whatsoever in late April. All in all, amazing trip experience. We look forward to visiting again.

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!
