Found this property after we missed our cruise boarding from Miami and had to meet the ship in Costa Maya. We checked in late night - as a quick process. Safe location in a beachfront. Clean comfortable rooms. Food was food and staff were warm and welcoming. Choose this as a vacation spot or a day visit from a cruise.

Make sure everything in room works before staying

The Hotel and Restuarant are beautiful, but the service was terrible. The room was very nice, but the toilet leaked from the bottom, staining our clothes with soiled water.

When we were checking out, the staff refused to allow us to leave until they inspected the room to make sure we didn't steal towels and were rude.

Food is good both rooms are overpriced. Also, no staff smiles!

For the high price of this hotel we expected more. the hotel is lacking in customer service, room comfort, as well as cleanliness of the washrooms. The restaurant and beach club were great and the staff working them were very helpful. Food and drink at the restaurant was 10/10, the coffee was also excellent. But the beach club and restaurant are separate from the hotel. We thought the bed in our room was hard and made for a bad sleep. Also only a bed sheet is provided, no duvet, just a sheet, which was strange. The towels for the beach are simple travel towels that smelled. The bathroom had a sewer smell the entire time. Also be mindful of the time of year you visit Mahahual if it’s high cruise ship season be aware that the beach and town will be flooded with cruise ship tourists during the day. The hotel is central on the strip and there are many great restaurants nearby. Long story short, I would choose another hotel for my next stay in Mahahual.

looks like the hotel was recently renovated, the rooms despite being nicely designed are hit and miss, more than half are inside the building with zero light (no windows, no balcony) and a a result are musty. fully agree with the shoebox comment of another reviewer. Best rooms are the family rooms with balcony and fridge, or the more expensive rooms at front and back of the hotel. know what you're booking, a suite plus is a lot worse than a suite queen for example. Staff tries to be helpful, they have poor experience cleaning rooms properly and are controlled by a manager who needs training in customer service and general business conduct. Front desk always try to fill the worst rooms first. it's clear they simply don't care. restaurant was good, beach club was ok, beach in front is not the best on the strip

Stay away from this hotel...and his manager

Spent 2 nights in that hotel. No wifi in the room. Front desk tried to help us but nothing helped. Manager is a crook. Never showed up, never talked to us....didn't even apologize. He asked the front desk to tell us everything and his contrary. They asked us if we wanted to move to a partner hotel but wanted us to pay again and ask hotels.com to refund us when our stay was non refundable. This manager was unable to handle this situation and should find another job.
Dated furniture, dirty walls, old torn bath towels, window to the balcony not closing ...this hotel has it all..Stay away from it. You have a lot of others options in that beautiful town.

The overall property is nice, for the area and gives you direct beach access. At night, the area will stay noisy until 10pm which can make it difficult if you're trying to get a baby to sleep. The comfort of the beds could be far better, ours was hard and made for rough sleep. No conforter or quilt on the beds, only a top sheet. No cribs for a baby. Rooms are smaller, bathroom is smaller. Good place for couples to stay. Food at restaurant is really good and drinks are also really good, paying Anerican prices though!

Beautiful hotel. Located on the main walkway by the beach. Clean and very comfortable room for 4 people, good restaurant on site. The staff was very nice and friendly. The building did not have an elevator, so we carried our bags to the 3rd floor - just an FYI not a negative for us. The staff has some that are bi-lingual, some that only speak Spanish. I'm not a beach person but the hotel has a very nice and clean section of beach with chairs, etc Had no problems communicating with my limited \"spanglish\". Would definitely stay there again!

The Yucatán's little hidden Gem

This being our first visit to Mahahaul, and not knowing much about the little fishing village (except for You Tube videos) it was love at first sight. For being a remote out of the way village it's charm and warm hospitality is that of a 5 star resort. we had good sized clean rooms, with daily housekeeping, great food, and bar. Access to boats to take you snorkeling or fishing at the reef. A dive shop a minutes walk from hotel. The village has a cement walkway from one end of the hotel/restaurant district to the other. You'll pass by gift shops, bars and restaurants
,which of course everyone is welcome, locals with gift stands selling local handmade crafts
So if your looking for some piece and quiet, then you will certainly enjoy the quaint little town of Mahahaul Mexico located in the Costa Maya region of Quintana Roo.
The \"Kalma 40 Canones\" hotel is the place to stay. Did I mention it's private parking lot across the street !!! The only downside of the hotel is no refrigerators in the rooms, but a small disposable cooler and some ice from the bar will keep liquid refreshments cold : ).
I give the Kalma 40 Canones 5 STARS with all things considered. So consider Mahahaul for your next vacation destination. We loved it so much that we purchased property there !!!

Couldn’t get out if there fast enough!!! On another note I don’t like to feel like they are doing me a favour by me being there.

Hotel should be the nicest in Mahahual. Fist off, the rooms are very small. The bathroom is terrible as the shower and bathroom are virtually the same level with nothing to keep the water from filling up the shower area and running into the bathroom. The toilet is so close to the shower wall that you cannot use it comfortably. There is no toilet paper holder so the paper is simply on the back of the toilet tank and there is no towel bar for a hand towel. Almost worst off is the 1970's toxic smelling toilet tank cleaner that they use as air freshener by tying it to the water lines for the toilet. The safe didn't work and staff couldn't fix it. They also didn't replace it during our stay which made us feel unsafe with our valuables. A deadbolt lock in the door would have also been appreciated. The grounds are nice and restaurant was pleasant and the location is good. Parking was convenient and just across the street. The owners need to step it up a bit if they are going to be the go to hotel in Mahahual.

Great option for relaxation in Mahahual

The location is perfect, a very nicely decorated hotel with comfortable beds and linens. Breakfast in the restaurant was perfect every morning. The lunch menu is quite small and limited. The room cleaning was great one day and ok the next. The lady who checked me in was very friendly and an asset to the hotel. Other front desk staff were just ok.
Unfortunately this hotel lets people put their towels on the best lounge chairs at the beach and walk away, sometimes only showing up at the beach 5 hours or more later. There is not enough of the nicer lounge chairs with palapa for guests when it's busy. The staff does a great job working at keeping the sea weed cleared.
The tour being run out of the hotel by lizet tours was fantastic. It was great being able to pay upon check out as well.
This was my second vacation at Mahahual, and my first at this hotel. I was recommended by friends to stay here. It was far superior to my last hotel. I hope my next stay will be even better!
