Pros · Constance Halaveli

Cons · Constance Halaveli

Cons · Mahekal Beach Resort

  • Beach conditions can vary with seaweed and seasonal coastal conditions.

  • Some guests may find the rustic-bohemian room style less luxurious than newer resorts.
  • All-inclusive value depends on whether guests plan to dine mostly on property or explore Playa del Carmen restaurants.
