About This Resort

A barefoot, bohemian alternative to Playa del Carmen's big boxes — thatched-roof bungalows scattered along the sand, no TVs, and a deliberately unplugged feel. Cenote excursions come included and the kitchens lean local and organic. Four-star in stars, but the charm punches well above that. Best November through April.

Everything at Mahekal was truly incredible during our 9-night stay! The natural surroundings of the very large property make this resort unique from any others centrally located in PDC. It’s beautiful and peaceful, you feel like you are in a remote area of the jungle even though the town is just ste...

Spent one week at Mahekal on early December 2025, an amazing place to stay, four of us stayed at two palapa rooms literally less than a minute walk from the beach, enjoyed the comfortable beach beds every single day during our stay (private for hotel guests only on a first come first serve basis the...
