The place hugely exceeded our expectations, particularly given some of the other reviews on here.
The bungalow was right on the beach. It has a decent size balcony, which provided a nice place to chill in the hammocks and gave you a place to clean your feet so you could avoid traipsing sand in. Inside the room was cool and breezy, with windows with insect screens on multiple walls, including directly by the bed, and a ceiling fan. The decor is a bit dated and could do with a cosmetic update, but it was super clean and the bed was comfortable. We slept well to the sound of the waves gently breaking each night.
By far and away the best part about staying here was the host, Mr Yahir. We have never had such good service, not even at 5 star hotels. He made himself available to check us in after 8pm on the first night, repeatedly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, sourced and arranged special meal items for us, regularly offered us a ride into town, went with us to arrange a colectivo (even speaking with the vendor for us, as our Spanish is limited), and then dropped us off in the morning of our departure to ensure we got to the depot on time. All in all a top bloke with a clear pride and passion for his job.

We loved absolutely everything. Hayhu is a paradisical hideaway right by the beach but still in the middle of the jungle. All the natural materials blend in perfectly. Great drinks and food, super friendly stuff, perfect kite spot.

Aquastar was well located right on the Malecon.
Aquastar was well located right on the Malecon. Easy walking distance to lots of restaurants. Yes, it was right on the beach; but, not an area nice enough to get into the water. Too much seaweed. You had to walk to a nice beach,

Nice fishermen's village with good restaurants.
Nice fishermen's village with good restaurants. Very rustic in terms of hotels and restaurants.
The beach is clean and nice, clean water. However, it does suffer from the same problem of all beaches from Cancun up to here: lots of seawater. So cleaneless will depend how often they clean the seaweed.
Overall is a place to go once; no need to return, but glad I went.
Food cost can be expensive for what they are.

Sleepy boring town with nothing to do but relax and enjoy the sea. There are a bunch of snorkeling and diving locations if you're into that.
An excellent place to slow down and forget about the world.
A few quirks:
The nearby waterpark was closed because there was no cruise ship.
Same for the dolphin park, and by extension the entire touristy cruise port, is off-limits for 'regular' tourism according to the guard at the entrance there. So you can't get your fridge magnets and tshirts from there...
Half of the town is closed when there are no cruise ships. As if regular tourism doesn't matter or is not worth working for.
The difference with restaurants, shops and tours being offered was night and day when a cruise boat docked on Sunday.
Good stuff:
A laidback atmoshphere thorughout town. Not much annoying sales people. Some decent restaurants that have a good price/quality balance.
Other than the relaxed and fun strip of mahahual there isn't much to do. Which is great if you just want to relax and enjoy some food or drinks like we did.
And for that, our trip was too short (3 nights) but with the average hotel we had and few restaurant options that were open and not overpriced, 3 nights was just right I suppose.
The ride to Mahahual is an easy one, about 60KM from the main road, and that's the time where the world literally disappears in the background as you enter and enjoy the slow pace of Mahahual.

The best part of Mahahual other than the beaches is taking a trip with "Amigos del Mar Mahahual" to the atolon "Banco del Chinchorro", to Snorkel and or scuba dive. The company is very professional and have great equipment. The place is the biggest coral reef in the caribean has a lot of history and it is amazing. It was my first time snorkeling and I am oficially a fan and i will gladly go back there!!!
The town is very calm and friendly. There are days when cruise ships arrive and it becomes noisy but entertaining. Great choice of restaurants with a surprising offer of great cuisine for diner. Yaya, Malecon 21, or the restaurant at the 40 canones Hotel

More could be done to improve Mahahual, I visited Mahahual about 15 years ago and it was quiet, peaceful and clean. I was quite disappointed in how run down it had become; it was idyllic and not crazy like Playa Del Carmen and Cancun so I wanted my husband to experience lovely beaches etc, but this wasn't meant to be.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a truly spectacular beach that left me in awe. The beach was situated near a beautiful coral reef, and the water was crystal clear and calm, making it perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The soft, white sand was incredibly inviting, and I spent many hours lounging on the beach and soaking up the sun.
One of the things that really stood out to me about this beach was how peaceful and serene it was. Unlike some of the more crowded beaches I've visited, this one felt like a true paradise, with plenty of space to relax and unwind. The lack of waves also made it perfect for families with young children or anyone who wants to enjoy the water without worrying about getting tossed around.
Another thing that impressed me was the sheer natural beauty of the area. The coral reef was home to an incredible array of marine life, including colorful fish and sea turtles, which made for an unforgettable snorkeling experience. And with the stunning scenery all around, it was easy to forget about the outside world and just enjoy the moment.
Overall, I would highly recommend this beach to anyone looking for a peaceful and picturesque getaway. It truly is a slice of paradise that I will never forget.
The cabana was right on beach front 2 min walk from ocean beautiful plus the little private beach which every hotel has would return again location was about 10 min walk from the little shops and venders Tony's pizza was nearest food place but again the woman was unhelpful and quite rude beaware but lots of eating places further down the beach road
We stayed in the King suite with sea view and the view was an absolute dream. The terrace is amazing, the bed is comfy. The location of the hotel in front of the beach is great. Overall I loved our stay, but I have to say that we got a big discount for being off season. I think the full price would have been very overpriced.
Loveliest Hotel in Mahahual! The staff were among the friendliest and most helpful of our entire trip to Mexico. We also loved the focus on sustainability and lack of single use plastic. Beautiful pool. The beach is about 10 mins away with bikes that you can Rent right at the Hotel (for a fee). Taxis cost around 25 pesos.
Ernesto was very kind and a wonderful host. He cleaned the rooms very well and went out of the way to check us in after hours.
Hotel is a short walk to the beach, has plenty of road space to park, and is very nice and well priced. Air conditioning in the rooms worked very well and showers were warm.
Suzette was the nicest and most competent host, she helped us organize everything from snorkeling to cab and bus. The location is perfect, quiet and right and the beach but still only a few walking minutes from the town center. The hotel’s shared areas are very nice, the room and bathroom were good.
the room I stayed was in the typical price range of Mexican hotels… the hotel was clean, right in front of the beach, with free and easy private parking and good hot shower. The hotel also has a big patio/garden in the central area which was nice! wifi was a bit slow sometimes but quite ok..
The staff were amazing! So friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and it was such a short walk to the beach! Really relaxing and a beautiful location. It's also a lovely walk along to foreshore to restaurants and other beach clubs. We would definitely come back to stay here!
Great location, right on the beach, alongside a fairly quiet track/road. A fair walk into Mahahual. Lovely room with sun terrace above the room. Great food from the Hotel's kitchen and inclusive breakfast excellent. Friendly helpful staff. Would have stayed longer but fully booked.
The best part was the private beach which was right at our doorstep. There's a beautiful reef near the dock in front of the hotel. I brought my own snorkel mask & fins and I saw eagle rays, porcupine fish, sting rays, squids, and lots of corals without having to take a tour.
I like being in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful localization at the nice beach, nice restaurant and far away from crowds. Very unique design of the rooms. You need to have a car/taxi to get there and get out of as well ( for example: to Mahahual).
Lovely location, towards the quieter corner of Mahahual, away from where the cruise ships come in.
Lovely food, friendly and accommodating staff, the little beach was great with small coral 🪸 reefs just outside, take a snorkel and venture out!
The architecture and decorations were unique and charming. The room was spacious and we could even see the ocean from our balcony. The hotel has a good breakfast as well. Located near the beach and plenty of restaurants.
