Everything was perfect! Everyone was very friendly from the moment we arrived until we left. We had a wonderful time. Braian, Armando, Roberto, Enrique, and Luis were always attentive to our needs. The food was delicious, and the restaurants were great, too. Thanks to Mahekal Beach Resort for making our stay the best.

Amazing hotel right by the beach. They also had a coffee shop in the hotel and their gym and day activities were so fun. They had merengue classes, water aerobics, Pilates, yoga, and so many other activities throughout the resort. Their spa was amazing too, we got facials and massages and the staff were so nice. Definitely recommend, great location!!

Everything was great. Clean property, everybody was so friendly. We’re so enjoying our vacation.

The property is so relaxing. Highly recommend this place to relax and enjoy time on the beach. No T.V. if your expectation is to watch TV and TBH its not needed with the local shops and restaurants. This place is small and beautiful and the opposite of a huge resort- if you're looking for large resort with over a 100 rooms- this is not your place. Small and personal with beautiful beach vibes.

Fuego restaurant needs a better selection of cuisines, possibly even different cuts of meat(seafood/poultry/beef). The food lacked flavoring and the right consistency.
