The service at the restaurant was awful. Ordered a mango margarita and it came in a wine glass about half full, and that was with ice! Definitely skimped on the tequila too. Not sure it was in there. They had one guy at dinner who couldn’t keep up with the work…and we were the only ones there! the door to our room was loose. the patio door looking out to the water was filthy. The shower didn’t have a door snd water went everywhere…even under the wall to the next room. No elevator. Only a top sheet tucked in and a sheet to crawl under. Not a great stay for the cost.

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.

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.
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.
The main thing about the hotel is the people running it. Everyone was super friendly and already on the first night we felt at home. Carla was a great host and invited us straight to a Christmas dinner with half of Mahahual. This way we felt like being part of the community. They also provide you with access to 2 different beach clubs which is amazing since you can use the equipment and get breakfast on the beach. Again, the staff at the Chilangoluense was super nice! Thank you, Carla!
lovely colourful cabana just a few meters away from the beach, very helpful nice staff, good cocktails, nice people around, good to get in contact with other travelers, right beside a women led diving school, a lot of restaurants and bars within walking distance along the Malecon, massages right in front of the hotel at the beach, great place to relax, dive, eat out, plan adventures
Great hotel if you want to avoid the busy strip of Mahahual. The rooms are clean and spacious. The pool is awesome if you want to avoid the busy beach. We rented bikes at the hotel which we used to go in to town (5 min) or to the strip (10 min). The reception helped us with arranging the colectivo from- and to- Bacalar which was really helpful!
The location is beautiful and quieter than most hotels in the area since it is located down from the main area of the central walkway that runs through the seaside town. You can snorkel and see a lot of fish at the beach right in front of the hotel and a little further out is a large reef. Each room has a balcony and the rooms are spacious.
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
Hot water. Mosquito net. Shelves and hooks to put and hang stuff on. Comfortable bed.
We could get extra blankets because it was fresh. Staff was friendly. We could check in earlier as the cabaña was free.
Water to refill our bottles.
Direct access to the beach and the hotel has an area at the beach that you can access with the bracelet.
Everything is within a walking distance. The town is very cozy and calm. There are great choices for breakfast, lunch and diner. The Hotel restaurant is really good with the variety of options. And it is the only hotel with a beach of it's own and they give priority to the guests.
Even when the cruise ships arrived it was a bit fun.
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.
I would go there again for the fantastic location on the beach. It is a minimalist experience, close to nature and to things which are important in life. Don't go there if you look for a cheap alternative to a 5-star hotels - that won't work.
Everything was perfect, sea view grom the room, nice beach. In the hotel you can get a free kayak to swim in the sea, which was very nice. You can also rent snoorkeling equipment if you need. The area od quiet and cery relaxing.
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.
A great little hotel. Recent reviews don’t do it justice. It was clean, the staff were friendly and even provided beach towels. It was within easy walking distance of town but far enough out to be quiet.
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
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.
The location is totally awesome. Staff was attentive and friendly. The breakfast was great and plentiful. There is more than enough palapas, chairs and lounges on the beach.
