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."

The Telegraph8.0
"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"
