About this property

Welcome to Hotel Mahahual

Hotel Mahahual is a modest, beachfront property located on Malecon Huachinango in the heart of Mahahual. Offering basic accommodations with cable TV, hot water, and air conditioning in some rooms, it provides practical amenities suited for travelers seeking straightforward lodging. Its setting right by the sea allows guests quick access to the beach and nearby dining options like the popular Crazy Lobster restaurant.

The hotel’s facilities reflect a simple style, with some rooms featuring newer air conditioning and ceiling fans alongside more rudimentary units. While not a high-end hotel, guests appreciate its cleanliness and reasonable prices, which make it an accessible choice for those prioritizing location over luxury. Wi-Fi service has been noted as limited, particularly in guest rooms, which may be a consideration for visitors relying on internet connectivity.

Situated near several attractions such as Mahahual Beach, Costa Maya Cruise Port, and the Maya-themed water park, the property appeals to visitors interested in sightseeing and outdoor activities. Its convenient location within walking distance to local restaurants and the malecón makes it well positioned for exploration and recreation.

Guest reviews highlight the friendly staff and excellent location directly on the beach, though some mention the hotel’s older condition and occasional lapses in cleanliness. Overall, Hotel Mahahual suits visitors who value easy beach access and an affordable base for enjoying this coastal town’s charms without the expectation of extensive hotel amenities.

Our stay was just as we desired it to be. Very friendly staff, ready to serve, bedding was great and the quietness was excellent and so was the shore. We loved the cleanliness and everything else. The crazy lobster restaurant is near by offering excellent food which altogether made our stay perfect. We thank the personelle and above all God. God bless you until we be there again!

Están renovando el hotel, hay habitaciones que tienen aire acondicionado rudimentario y los nuevos tienen unos mejores con ventilador de techo, son habitaciones sencillas con dos camas bajas y baño, agua caliente, televisión de cable, está cerca de la playa, dónde tienen protección para que no pase el sargazo, toda la playa tiene camastros y mesas del restaurante krazy lobster dónde sale muy cara la langosta, lo que hizo que no le diera todas las estrellas es que el wi fi está mal, no llega a la habitación. También tiene la opción de poner hamacas en las habitaciones. El precio es accesible, de los más baratos y te dan lo mismo. Si recomiendo este hotel plenamente.

Un hotel sencillo pero cómodo, frente al malecón y frente al mar, no te ofrece una super vista al mar, pero si super cerca, solo caminas unos pasos y estas en el mar. Excelente ubicación
