Fodor's "With candy-colored palapa-roofed bungalows and a great location—on the sand but just two blocks from the town's upscale northern end—this may be the perfect beach resort." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This massive Caribbean resort, which dates to 1982, may not be heaven on earth, but it does have white sand beach, a sea of shaded palapas, and an ocean of palm trees." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This “hotel-village” offers the most seductively comfortable version of the palm-roofed beach hut: spacious, beautifully decorated and with all modern amenities."
Oyster Upper-middle-range
"A boho-chic, beachfront property, the upper-middle-range Mahekal Beach Resort has 122 rooms with garden or ocean views, many of which have thatched roof bungalows." Full review
Jetsetter "Boho-chic sleep in Playa del Carmen, with 800 feet of soft sand, hammock-strung beach bungalows, and two pools." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "There’s a bit of a Swiss Family Robinson feel at this Playa del Carmen resort, with bungalow-style accommodations, either facing 920 feet of beach or surrounded by jungle." Full review

"On a rare patch of greenery on Playa del Carmen’s lively beachfront, Mahekal stands apart from local hotel blocks with thatched bungalows amid lawns and jungle that is home to iguanas and parrots." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Mahekal has over 190 private villas and a 2,500-square-foot spa, and a restaurant where chefs resurface ancient Mayan recipes...the resort maintains its low-key vibe with hand-laid stone paths"
