Mahekal Beach Resort was everything I hoped for and more. From the moment you arrive, you feel transported into a peaceful, bohemian oasis tucked right along the beach. The resort strikes the perfect balance between laid-back luxury and natural beauty—lush gardens, sandy pathways, and charming bungalow-style rooms that make it feel intimate and authentic rather than resorty. The location is unbeatable: steps from the ocean, yet close enough to walk into town when you want a bit of buzz. Waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying mornings with ocean views felt surreal. The pools were beautiful and never overcrowded, and the beach setup was relaxed and inviting.

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.
