Mexico and Central America Romantic Holidays

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Mahekal Beach Resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico for the entire month of August, and it was, hands down, one of the best travel decisions we've ever made. August is considered low season, but that worked in our favor — the resort was peaceful, beautifully lush, and we got to truly immerse ourselves in everything it has to offer. We stayed in the penthouse room, which offered breathtaking views of the beach, infinity pool, and one of their restaurants. Waking up each morning to the sound of the ocean and tropical birds was nothing short of magic. But what made our stay truly unforgettable was the people. The staff at Mahekal are some of the most genuine, kind-hearted, and attentive individuals we’ve ever encountered. My husband, our 9-year-old daughter, and I felt so taken care of — like we were truly welcomed and looked after every day. A special thank you to Abraham, one of Mahekal’s supervisors, who made such a lasting impression on us. He checked in with us daily and went above and beyond for our daughter — surprising her with treats and organizing a beautiful early birthday celebration that she'll never forget. His warmth and thoughtfulness were a highlight of our stay. We also want to recognize the incredible restaurant and pool staff — truly some of the best humans we've met! A huge shoutout to: Enrique (Qique), Manuel, Braian, Ana, Ignacio, Marco, Juan, Maria, Emilia, Annibal, Uriel, Ismael (barista/bartender), Camelia, En

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the resort—it was so much fun exploring everything it had to offer. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always quick to respond to any questions or requests, making us feel well taken care of throughout our visit. There were plenty of dining options with a great variety of cuisines, and we loved being able to try different foods at all times of the day. The property itself was beautiful, clean, and pleasantly fragrant everywhere we went. We especially appreciated the wide range of facilities, including the kids' club, indoor and outdoor gyms, spa, and swimming pool. Each day was filled with fun activities like movie nights, karaoke, beach volleyball, and beach soccer, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It was also heartening to see the resort’s commitment to inclusivity. Guests with disabilities had full access to all areas and were consistently assisted and cared for by attentive staff. We loved seeing such a diverse mix of people—of all ages and backgrounds—coming together and having a great time.

Very nice property and extremely friendly staff. Wish the food options were better and more clear on when and where they were serving.

Exelent property and service will come back soon.
