The Mahekal Resort is absolutely wonderful. We only had one night there but we immediately wanted to stay a week. Beautiful grounds, helpful staff, great assortment of amenities and restaurants. The room was lovely and bed and pillows very comfortable. So many activities and amenities, and the beach and pools wonderful.

They nickle and dime you. Even though the reservation says dinner is included, it is only included to a certain dollar amount. Anything over that, they charge you. For the amount of money I paid per night for this property I could have stayed in a very nice all-inclusive where EVERYTHING is included.

Mahekal resort & spa was excellent choice for our 25th anniversary trip. It is very private feel onsite yet perfect distance to down town (a minute walking to restaurants and shops) All the staff were very helpful and respectful. Only thing I wish for the resort was more on site parking space. Since I didn't request a parking when I made a reservation, we had to park on street for 5 days and finding coins for machine was not easy. I wished I was notified when I made a reservation. Other than that, it was very pleasant and we'd love to go back again!

Most stunning property. This is not your huge all-inclusive resort…rooms are spacious and clean, grounds are impeccable, food great. It is so close to the city to walk around and explore tons of food options. Loud on Saturday night with all the parties; in case someone’s sensitive. Check out is at 12pm and if you have the all-inclusive package that ends as soon as you check out- you can enjoy the property until your flight, but will have to pay for everything. Cannot wait to be back
