Mahekal Beach Front Resort & Spa – A Favorite for Families in Playa del Carmen

Mahekal Beach Front Resort & Spa sits on a public stretch of Playa del Carmen Beach, offering guests five outdoor pools that include an infinity pool, a salt-water pool, and one with a pool bar. The private beach area provides sun loungers and umbrellas, while the on-site snorkelling activities let guests explore the water directly from the resort. Five pools and the beachfront give multiple spots for guests to choose their preferred swimming or lounging setting.

The resort has 195 rooms, each with a private bathroom, air conditioning, and a terrace with hammocks offering views of the sea or tropical gardens. Rooms are fitted with Mayan-style décor and include a private safe box, telephone services, and WiFi. Some accommodations in the Oasis section have semi-private pool access, and the property is pet-friendly, welcoming the whole family.

Daily breakfast and à la carte lunch and dinner are available at the Olas Restaurant, while Fuego Restaurant serves four-course set dinners with regular theme nights and live music. The hotel also has a bar, a coffee house on site, and offers themed dinner nights. Live music and live sport events are scheduled as part of the on-site entertainment.

The Revive Spa on site provides a full range of body treatments including facials, massages, body wraps, and couples massage, along with spa packages and wellness programs. The spa facility has a sauna, a hot tub and jacuzzi, a spa lounge and relaxation area, and offers beauty services such as haircuts, manicures, and make-up services. Yoga classes are available for guests through the wellness offerings.

The resort is located a short walk from Fifth Avenue's shops, bars, and nightlife, and the on-site concierge service can arrange visits to the Mayan ruins of Tulum National Park, a 45-minute drive away.
