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!!!

Prior to our trip the communication was appreciated. Daniel, our concierge, was so easy to work with. I began receiving texts from the moment we landed. That same communication continued all week long. He made sure to check in throughout the day. Even on his day off he asked if he could do anything for us. Enrique was our setver when dining. He knew our namesand greeted us always with a smile. On our last day he arranged beautiful table for us. He treated us as family. Make sure to meet him and ask for him by name. The room and property were amazing. Staff takes care of your every need. This is the place to stay in Playa del Car
