Lonely planet is out to lunch (not to mention out of date) on Mahahual. The center of town has been rebuilt since the hurricane and there is plenty of raw entrepeneurial energy in the air, as well as plenty of visitors when the cruise ships pull in. Drive south towards Xcalak along a beautiful quiet and practically deserted coastal road,... more

My wife and I are architectural aficionados, so we especially enjoyed the extraordinarily pleasing design of our room at Hotel Maya Luna. We especially enjoyed the second floor balcony with the natural fiber sun cover umbrella. The fantastic food was an extra blessing. So upon arriving, there was no need for further driving anywhere - just "pedestrian" enjoyment of the... more
