This resort is beautiful and offers the most amazing experience. It is gorgeous and the gardens and landscaping are brilliant and peaceful and one of the most relaxing places away from the bustle of Cancun. The hotel location is only 45 minutes from the airport and within a couple of blocks fo the main shopping street. It is also within easy walking distance of 5th Avenue for shopping or eating. Some nice touches in the rooms are the sculptured towels - of animals. And the artwork in each room. Also nice, was a lack of items like TVs, radios, clocks or even phones. Very relaxing and there were hammocks as well. Besides that the bed is comfortable and there is also a sheltered porch. The staff at this hotel make it easy for their guests to feel safe and secure, with appropriate attendants on shift at all hours of the day. The food is good. The hotel is nothing like an all-inclusive place which was perfect although the internet access wasn't great and noise from surrounding hotels was too loud at times.
If you are looking for complete peace, beauty, and relaxation away from the crazy commercialism of Cancun, this is the place. The resort is located only 45 minutes south of the Cancun airport and the resort will arrange for transportation to and from the airport for you. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and will go out of their way to assist you with whatever you may need. The property itself is very beautiful and landscaped throughout with lush gardens. It is as close to paradise as one can get. Mahekal is in walking distance of 5th Avenue (main strip for shopping, restaraunts, etc.) Mahekal has a wonderful wedding planner on staff who helped arrange everything for my wedding from the flowers to the hair dresser, photographer and priest. The resort and beach is beautiful, the food is outstanding, the people are extremely friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is completely relaxing. Without a doubt, this is one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had and am looking forward to going back again this year.and hopefully many more to come.

A most relaxing holiday spot.the staff worked so hard to repair the hurricane damage,but in such a unobtrusive way that one's stay there was not impaired in the least.The beach area was always tidy,ample beds and shade,good service at all times and the room was directly facing the sand.blissful.I confess I didn't want to do anything but take to my sunbed,read,swim,bask and take refreshment.I felt secure there at all times;there was always an attendant around even at night but again without having a strong-arm presence.The hotel guests were obviously having a good time;the friendly approach of the dining attendants ensured this at meal-times.The towels in the rooms were "sculptured" into an array of animals,with a new piece of artwork appearing at every room service. And as a final touch.on the morning of our departure,we were given a breakfast box;this contained appetising food and drink. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.a credit to Mexico and a jewel in the Yucatan!

My wife and I really enjoyed the Mahekal - the staff was very friendly, food was excellent, rooms very comfortable. This is a very low-key facility - rooms do not have TVs, radios or even clocks - but the beds are comfortable and the showers work well. We stayed in the Garden area which was quite nice - and still only a short walk to the beach. Every room has a sheltered porch with two hammocks and a table and chairs. The location is near (a couple of blocks away) from the main shopping street. The beach is well maintained. All-in-all, a very nice place and a good value. A few complaints - could use better internet accessibility and some of the hotels in the area have music blasting a bit too loudly at times.

16 years and still coming back. It is such a fun, laid back, wonderfully relaxing place without a phone in your room or a tv blaring in your ear. Kids around the pool, adults talking, the sound of wind, waves, and yet it is quiet. Excellent staff, food, and you sit next to the ocean or inside comfort.it is not at all like an all inclusive, thank goodness. It is specially unique.

This is truely a diamond in the rough.
