WAY MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER ALL-INCLUSIVE IN PLAYA DEL CARMEN

THE SOUL OF MAHEKAL

THE SOUL OF MAHEKAL

Drawing inspiration from the profound depths of Mexico, its age-old secrets, and evocative legends, Mahekal originally welcomed its first guests between 1982 and 1985 under the names Las Palapas and Shangri-La. From that nascent era, our foundational ethos has been to establish ourselves as a singular nexus: interlacing the rich traditions of our ancestors, the luxuriant natural world that envelops us, and the discerning travelers who grace us with their presence year after year. In 2014, we embraced the name that defines us today: Mahekal, reaffirming our unwavering commitment to this timeless connection.

It's not just about the service or the spot, or even our take on a wellness retreat that's both classic and totally now. What really gets us going, what drives us, is what's around us: the ocean, with its raw power and steady rhythm; the little historical nuggets tucked away all over the place; and the easy warmth of the town, its people, and its hangouts.

From the buzz of Fifth Avenue and 38th Street, alive with everything; to the coast that stretches out between lush jungle and pristine beaches; all the way to the cenotes and temples that have stood the test of time—the soul of Mahekal? It's the soul of everything around it.

Amazing stay!

This hotel is a great combination of quiet oasis and centrally located. When you're in the resort you feel miles away from the hustle and bustle, but you're a 10 minute stroll from Quinta Avenida.

Relaxing hotel in a prime location.

Great location, lots of things to do within walking distance. 5th Avenida super close. Entertainment team was very fun, especially Josue. Poolside yoga, Zumba and Aqua Dance were a great addition to lots of pool time. Food in the Olas restaurant was not great but Fuego restaurant was exceptional. Beautiful beach side location too.

We had a Mahekal time!

We stayed in an oceanfront palapa for 4 nights and had an unforgettable time! The resort is maintained very well, all the pools are clean with plenty of chairs for all guests—because there are 4 pools to choose from! Having our palapa right on the beach was a wonderful view to wake up to everyday.
