We had an unexpected and delightful experience at this hotel in Mahahual. The spacious rooms offered fantastic amenities like a fully equipped kitchen and a private terrace, although the beds were a bit too firm for my liking. The location right on the beach made our stay even more enjoyable, and the service was outstanding, especially with Luka serving up unforgettable dinners. Just be prepared for some quirks with the showers and the slightly hard beds.

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! The sea view from our room was breathtaking, and the beach was clean and had just the right amount of atmosphere. The accommodations were stylish, and the food was surprisingly affordable for a beachfront restaurant. On the downside, the beds were a bit too firm for my liking, and the showers could use a little updating. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations and felt like a hidden gem.

Our time at this beach resort during our cruise was absolutely fantastic! The location was perfect, just a short ride from the port and right on a clean beach with clear water. Our waiter, Abraham, was incredibly attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious; I can't recommend the guacamole and salsa enough! While it can be a bit tricky to find a taxi initially, overall, the experience exceeded our expectations, and we plan to return!

I had a wonderful stay at El Fuerte! The beach is incredibly clean, and I love the spacious rooms that come with kitchen facilities. The restaurant serves some of the best food, especially the aguachile. However, the beds were a little too firm for my liking, and the shower pressure could be improved. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and I can't wait to return!

We had an amazing experience at this resort! The beach was beautiful and not overcrowded, which made our stay super relaxing. Our room had a stunning sea view, and switching from a road-facing room was easy. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, but we did encounter some vendors around the beach. Overall, it was an incredible getaway with wonderful dining options. Just be prepared for some hustle from local vendors.
