This is our second stay at the Matan Kaan. We love this hotel as far as location and the architecture of the hotel. It's well thought out, with public spaces to sit by the pool, browse a book in the outdoor reading area, eat in breakfast area, or sit outside in a rustic corner. A turtle water feature adds to the delightful outdoor touches. And the pool is large enough that several guests can use it at the same time. The beds were comfortable and the shower water was hot. The air conditioner worked perfectly and cooled the room nicely.

The manager who greeted us was friendly, professional, and helpful. He loves his job. He is doing his best to promote Inkanto into a true luxury experience. In the room, the decor is subtly artful and the shower is great.

Everything was perfect! The room is beautiful and clean, the breakfast was exceptional, lots of fresh fruits, yogourt and granola. The staff is amazingly kind. The hotel has a nice pool with hamacs where you can relax, and is super eco-friendly (make their own soap, reusable containers for shampoo). Cute animals too! Would stay here again !

If you want a secluded place but relatively close to the main restaurants and activities, then location is great. 5-7min bike ride or 15-20min from city center.
The facility is also clean. My room (#19) was at the top floor and in front of the beach (great views); however, not all rooms are like that. There are many rooms at the back of the hotel.
There is an okay restaurant in the hotel; not the best food in town. Had dinner there more out of convenience, not because the food or service were great.

Exelente vista y atención. Te apoyan con cualquier situación.
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...
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.
If you want a secluded place but relatively close to the main restaurants and activities, then location is great. 5-7min bike ride or 15-20min from city center.

Spent 10 wonderful days here living right next to the beach. The place is isolated and depends on solar for electricity and is approx 8 km from town so is very quiet save for the birds and lapping waves. It helps if you have a car. Closest restaurant is a 20 minute walk, though breakfast is provided at the hotel. Excellent wifi. Much thanks to Debbie, Anika and the 3 dogs for creating an excellent atmosphere. Loved our relaxing time there
Great location around corner from bus office, close to beach altho nicer part of beach 15 minute walk south. Dorm didn't feel crowded, all the usual hostel amenities, private rooms also nice. Small place easy to meet other travellers, not a party place. Best equipped kitchen in Mexico, fridge is fairly clean, hostel clean, nice garden chill out area, friendly helpful owners.
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
Unique experience, located directly by a beatiful and secluded beach which is being cleaned every day,, coral reef 50 meters from the shore, amazing views, helpful and communicative staff (english speaking), very tasty food and drinks, the best breakfasts in Mexico we have had, comfortable, spacious rooms with beatiful view on Caribbean Sea
The Hotel is outside the heavy tourist zone of Mahahual. beautiful silent place. A real chill factor. Staff is super friendly. The whole east-coast has a problem with the seagrass. The employees are cleaning the beach every day, but obviousely no chance to put every day tons to nowwhere.
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 location was nice, really close to the beach and in a good street. On days that there are no cruises in Mahahual (ask which days the cruises are coming) the town is nice and quite with beautiful beaches all for yourself if you walk a bit away from the center.
A nice condo/hotel on the beach. The rooms were spacious and had a view of the beautiful beach. It is in town and everything is close within walking distance. I look forward to returning. The staff is amazing and helpful! Great AC.
Love the hotel location right there in the beach , very peaceful place and beautiful view from the room simple and comfortable we where not looking for luxury just to have the experience of being in paradise. Quiet and simple
This hotel was super nice and cute! Staff was awesome and so friendly and helpful with everything. Room was nice and clean and had a beautiful view. Easy to bike or walk to the beach. Would def recommend!
Everything is at a walking distance, really close to the Malecon and Mahaual entrance. The private beach is a plus ⛱️ with plenty of places to lay down and a restaurant front beach. (We didn't try it)
Location was great. The restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch the ceviche is delicious! It is on the Malagón and there are so many restaurants to choose from. The beach is just in front …perfect
Direct access to the beach. Excellent service and super nice staff!
Mahahual is able to control sargassum effectively and the Hotel beach is just wonderful!!!
