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.
Amazing location and really nice staff. The accommodation is right at the beach- you literally only have to cross the road. The beach there is amazing and the host is as well. Really helpfull and nice. Also wifi works all the way to the beach with good 'videocall'quality. Also there are hammocks out front. There is further a colleague of the host family you can do a cheap snorkeling tour with - who is an amazing and funny guy. If I ever come back to Mahahual this is the place I would go to 100%.
The beautiful remote location far from the crowds, beach walks at night under the bright starlight and nicely decorated rooms and spaces. The atmosphere really matched the location. Without a doubt, the staff is trained well especially if compared to many other hotels. Without having an AC, it was possible to sleep but I wouldn’t have mind having one.
What a romantic place it is! Sunrises in the bedroom was super exclusive experiences!
We really loved this place, owners were super nice.
In a very calm area of Mahahual just on the (rocky)beach. But few steps away there is sandy beach that is not very crowded.
When we had problem they reacted super fast.
Very helpful staff, good on-site restaurant and yummy breakfast! The location is excellent: a short walk from the hustle and bustle of the main strip of Mahahual, but nice and quiet. The hotel does not have a pool, but just cross the street and enjoy the private sandy beach with sun loungers.
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..
I love staying in hotels that aren’t a big corporate chain. This place feels local, so well looked after, little turtles, great pool, lovely staff. Comfiest mattress and pillows. Great rooftop area for a late afternoon beer and chill.
The best location for the beach without beach prices.
we had a wonderful stay there. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are very comfortable.
they work very hard to keep the beach clean. when we were there the Sargasso Seaweed was not very bad, they clean the beach every morning. The food is good and reasonably priced.
Beach front, the sea is clean and perfect in front of the hotel. The beach club had super comfy beds and it was included in the cost of the hotel.
The hotel debo is super cool, the rooms very clean… everything was great. Great location
Great location - by the beach and in a quieter stretch of the place. Our dive shop was next door which made things convenient. The hotel has interesting decor (lots of repurposed materials) and staff is courteous.
Right on the beach, nice little beach bar to hangout at, staff was very nice! They allowed us to check in early and the room had a nice little balcony. Room was comfortable and a good value.
I definitively recommend staying here. You will have access to the beach with long chairs. We spent the day at the beach, their food taste amazing and the prices are more than acceptable
Great location, a beach club right next to the hotel, friendly and helpful personnel, a nice swimming pool on the rooftop, money safe to keep personal stuff
