Feb 12, 2026A great place for our Winter vacation
We spent 2 weeks at Mahekal, our 2nd visit to this terrific resort. The best things about this place are the exceptional staff, the beauty of the grounds, and the food. The staff is just uniformly warm, welcoming and helpful. We had the all-inclusive plan and ate all our meals in the restaurants. My husband is vegan, and they prepared fresh, fabulous options for him at every meal. The breakfast buffet was delightful. The staff there, especially Manuel, Marcos, Paola, and Jessica, were so kind and attentive. We really felt special. The menu at Fuego, where we had most of our lunches and dinners, was varied enough that I didn’t even have time to try everything on the menu in 2 weeks. Everything was well prepared and delicious. The staff at Fuego were all terrific, especially Wilberth, Roberto, Brian, and Daphne, Miguel and Ruben. We loved strolling around the grounds where we often saw little animals such as agoutis, coatis, iguanas, and the adorable tepezcuintle. My husband swam in the ocean and ran on the beach, and I liked sitting around the pool reading books, and walking on the beach. Our butler, Abraham, always responded immediately when we needed anything. Last year, we went on some adventures, but this year we were content to stay around the resort and occasionally wander through the nearby 5th Avenue shopping area. We can’t wait to return to Mahekal.

Sound Healing Spa Experience
We had the opportunity to experience a private sound healing session with Jesus at the Hotel Mahekal Beach Resort spa, while being immersed in a hot water jacuzzi. It was an additional indulgence, but it was absolutely worth it. The session offered a deeply calming and restorative experience, allowing the body to fully relax as the mind settled into soothing harmonic sounds. It was both a soul healing and memorable highlight of our time at the Hotel Mahekal Beach Resort.

De Cacao Ceremony
What a wonderful De Cacao Ceremony Jesus and Jacob created for us. We delighted in rich hot cacao flavors and immersive sounds that gently guided us into deeper connection with our hearts, Mother Earth, and the others who shared the space. It was a beautifully grounding and meaningful experience, one that was truly well worth

A Mahekal 40th Birthday
Mahekal Beach Resort is a stunning tropical paradise, perfectly situated in the heart of Playa Del Carmen (5 minute walk from 5th Avenue). The grounds are beautiful, the food is delicious and the overall vibe is pure relaxation. The type of place to sip on your frozen basil watermelon margarita with a good book and let the world pass you by. However, what truly made my 40th birthday one of the most memorable of my life was the incredible hospitality—specifically from Abraham Campa. Abraham went above and beyond in every way possible. He was so kind and attentive, showering me with thoughtful gifts and ensuring every moment of my celebration felt special. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, but Abraham’s exceptional service turned a great trip into an unforgettable one. If you’re looking for a beautiful getaway with a personal touch, I cannot recommend Mahekal enough. Also, get the Mahekal Experience at the spa. You will not regret it. My sister and I plan to go back as soon as possible.
