"AMAZING STAY! Will definitely be back"
Devossion By Live Aqua Playa del Carmen All Inclusive - Adults Only
10/10 Excellent
"I had an excellent overall stay and would rate it a 9/10. The resort is modern, clean, and beautifully designed with mid-century modern touches that really fit my vibe. Restaurants are well designed, and staff throughout the property were friendly and professional.
Food was very good overall. The sushi spot stood out and was consistently excellent. The grill was just okay, and service there felt rushed, like tables were being turned quickly. Breakfast was always top-notch with great quality and variety; an omelet station with a unique twist would be a great addition. Minor food modifications at the grill felt inconvenient, and a simple request (no pork) was missed.
I stayed on the far left side of the resort, level 2, beach-facing. A neighboring beach club plays loud music daily from about 11am–7pm, which can carry into the rooms, so I recommend requesting a room away from that side if you plan to relax or nap.
Room cleanliness was about an 8/10—generally clean, but with some dust buildup, early signs of mold in bathroom corners, and a few finishes starting to feel dated. Room service food and menu options could be improved.
The beach had heavier kelp and seaweed during my stay, but the hotel or city was actively cleaning it, and it’s not always like that. It’s still a beautiful beach with a small breakwater. Cocktails were excellent, pool service was great, and there were no pushy salespeople.
The location is unbeatable—one block from the main strip and surrounded by gr"

"Cleanliness, pools, beach, food, friendly staff. "
Mahekal Beach Front Resort & Spa
10/10 Excellent
"We spent 7 days at Mahekal at the end of Jan 2026. LOVED every minute. Small, un-crowded resort with clean pools and spotless, comfortable rooms. The staff is simply amazing and friendly, they made every moment special with their attention to detail. We stayed in the King Palapa gardem view. We loved the natural roof and the attached porch with seating and hammocks. Mahekal is truly a magical place. We did the half-board option with breakfast and dinner buffets and had no regrets. Food was very fresh and a bit different every day. We headed into Playa for lunch, which was great due to the cental location of the resort. We cant wait to go back!!!"
