We stayed 10 nights at Mahekal. It’s definitely different from our usual pick - the Royal Hidaway- but we wanted a change. It’s a 4 or 3.5 star resort that needs a bit of a TLC, but it didn’t bother us. The noise didn’t bother us either, very reasonable. Mosquitos are relentless, very grateful for the Off provided in each room. Staff are very friendly and polite.
The welcome at the reception needs improvement. Important to give folks the room that was advertised and paid for. After travelling for 16 hrs, walking to the Oasis part in the heat, then walking back to complain about the room is not great. Then a young person at the reception starts arguing how the resort is not under the obligation to give us the room from the picture only to be interrupted by a more experienced colleague who immediately helped us. And we received the welcome drink :)
We ate outside of the resort and I fully recommend it. The resort location is excellent and the 38th street has great restaurants. We only had lunches at Fuego and the food was not great. Starbucks on the property is amazing and Cesar rocks - so friendly!
What we liked the most is the Oasis part of the resort and the small pool there, which was mostly empty. We enjoyed the jungle and that pool so much! If everything else was not good we’d still be happy with this vacation due to our room balcony and that pool.
I recommend Mahekal, but be aware, you will not find the ACed lobby etc. If you like bohemian, it’s a place to be!

Wish we could have stayed longer! A little bit of paradise in the very busy Playa Del Carmen. The staff are excellent. Would absolutely stay again!
