We had a great stay at the hotel. The hotel is located right next to the beach and have an amazing view. The stuff are very friendly and smiling. We got a free upgrade to sea-view room, since they had some available. The rooms are big and very clean.

The check in process was easy. All staff was very helpful. The receptionist even assisted me in carrying luggage. The beach club was awesome. Great food and drinks.

The hotel is right on the beach. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful even with my limited Spanish. The beach is very relaxing and the water is clear and seaweed free. This is a very family friendly environment. I highly recommend renting a car and come to Mahahual for a few days if you’re in Tulum or Cancun. Also this hotel is close to Chacchoben and Bacalar if you want to go explore for the day.

Comfortable bed, nice room with balcony/table/chairs. Large bottle of water provided. Small fridge and cooking facility. People with mobility issues would have difficulty because of no elevator.

The room was great! I had a balcony overlooking the sea. I sat in the living room half the night just looking out the window at the well lit beach, while pretending to do work on my laptop. Downstairs, the restaurant had a nice vibe. I had the grilled shrimp tacos. They were amazing! I should have gotten an order for the road! Everything was great, from someone from reception walking me to my room, to the easy on-site parking. I will definitely be back.

El hotel está frente a la playa, la cual está espectacular. El costo es un poco alto para las instalaciones que cuenta, ya que le hace falta Mantenimiento, sus blancos son viejos. La atención del personal que labora ahí es excelente, es lo que salva al hotel

I recently stayed at this hotel, and I cannot emphasize enough how disappointed I am with the entire experience. The photos online are extremely misleading and do not represent the actual state of the property. We booked this hotel because it was advertised as a three-star, but I can assure you, it couldn’t be further from the truth. To start with, nothing worked in our room. The TV was completely useless, and the internet was nonexistent. We reached out for assistance multiple times, but despite our efforts, no one was available to help us. It was incredibly frustrating to be ignored, especially when you're paying for a service that is clearly not being delivered. I would not recommend this place to anyone. If I could give it zero stars, I absolutely would. There are plenty of other options out there—do yourself a favor and steer clear of this one.

SUPER RECOMENDADO!!!

Agradable estancia, sintiendo la calma y vistas espectaculares del majestuoso Mahahual. El fuerte en conjunto con su club de playa y restaurant es una excelente opción para estar frente a una zona de playa inigualable.
