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 !

- We have been there mid January (off-season) for three nights, and at no point in time have there been more than three rooms occupied. At times we were the only guests around which was really nice.
- The place is very remote, which has the upside of shielding you from all the hectic of the more touristic places. Combine with the first point, we had the feeling of being on a private island :)
- The service staff is super attentive without being overly present.
- The room has been cleaned every day quite thoroughly. You can get new towels every day if you want; the sheets stay the same. You get one free 0.5l water per person every day.
- Our beach-faced bungalow was superb. We had our own patio and hammock, and a direct view to the beach. The rooms a moskito nets on the windows that are permanently open. Moreover they were very spacious with lots of good solutions to place stuff.
- The hotel area around the pool and the beach is probably the nicest part. It just looks beautiful and has plenty of spots to relax during the day. The pool is kinda small though. The garden is also swept regularly.
- You don't need any shoes for your stay.
- We stayed for 3 nights, which I think was good. I would say that with 4 or more, we would have to drive somewhere for day trip.
- The good is good, and the card big enough to not make you repeat too much in 3-5 nights. Most dishes are either Mexican, Italian, or some sort of fusion. The cocktails are also fine.
- Except for the shots, the prices are reasonable. Without holding back and including tips, we payed 315€ for 3 nights and 2 ppl for food and drinks.

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.
The property is located in a quiet part of Mahahual and is still very close to the beach. We rented the two-bedroom apartment, which was quite spacious with a well-equipped kitchen and large living room. The rooms are very comfortable, each has a private bathroom and a shower. The place is very clean and well taken care of. The hosts are lovely, they supported us with any questions or needs that we had during our trip. We enjoyed a lot our stay and we are looking forward to coming back!
It is a very nice quiet eco hotel on the beach, surrounded by jungle. We liked that it was secluded and it’s wonderful terrace to relax. The staff was very nice and the kitchen tasty.
It is an eco hotel, so you cannot use for example a blow dryer (because of the energy consumption) but we loved its sustainable approach.
When we were there, there were a lot of couples. We can definitely recommend it, since it is quite romantic.
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
Nice chill spot, though thin walls so hopefully you have quiet neighbors (I didn't but they were nice about letting me change rooms). Very cute rooms and they have the best beach in town. Every morning woke up with a terrible smell from the drain but this seems to happen most places I stay in Mexico so maybe I can't fault them..
Nice place, apartment was spacious, perfect for family of 2+2. Amazing view from the window. The only think I could complain, it was the pool, which was not very clean. But we spend wonderful time on the beach, which is ringht in front of the hotel, so we don’t mind.Many shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance.
What a romantic place it is! Sunrises in the bedroom was super exclusive experiences!
We really loved this place, owners were super nice.
In a very calm area of Mahahual just on the (rocky)beach. But few steps away there is sandy beach that is not very crowded.
When we had problem they reacted super fast.
Beautiful hotel in the Old Mexico style. nice tile, white wash walls and winding staircases. rooms are, not numbered. Rooftop splash pool with full view of sea, town and jungle. lower level has tile pool flanked by reading nook. Breakfast is done well. A mere half block to the shore!
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.
Very relaxed place, right on the beach, far from the Mahahual craziness. The staff is always available through whatsapp. Snorkeling is good in the lagoon: rays, barracuda, scorpion fish, ...
