Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We had a great experience! The owner Tine is welcoming, friendly, and very helpful. The beach is a good for kids- there are shallow areas and you can walk far out. The hotel has very good service, and the owner has gone the extra mile to make sure we have everything we need. We are still here having fun!

I stayed here for 4 nights. This is a beautiful hotel that sits right on the malecón and beach! The bed was super soft and they have hot showers- both things that can be hard to find in Mexico. The view is fabulous! This would be a great spot for an intimate wedding or romantic getaway! There is a small rooftop pool with a fantastic view. I had dinner cooked by a private Italian chef who will cook elaborate meals for you on the roof. His wife performs while you dine and sings both opera and other music while you eat. You won’t find this kind of meal elsewhere in Mahahual! I highly recommend this hotel!

We stayed here in early January and had a fabulous stay. It was easy to find, right in the center of town on Malecon/Beach. Tina the owner was willing to help with anything we needed or provide information! There are restaurants all around and you can even get food and drinks delivered to the beach right outside your room. Dive shop AND ice cream shop right next door. The rooms and bathrooms were large and clean..overall perfect stay on the beach!

Just returned home from a recent trip three week trip to Mexico and stayed with Tina at El Caballo Blanco for 4 nights. My wife and I simply love this property and would consider staying nowhere else when we are next visiting Mahahual. It's located in the middle of the Malecon and the rooms are nicely decorated with balconies that have views that cannot be bettered anywhere. It's biggest asset is it's owner, Tina, who is genuinely concerned that you enjoy your stay and is always available to provide helpful advice and assistance.

Stayed here with a few friends—we had a beachfront room on each floor, all with a private patios, which was so nice. Everyone who works here is super friendly and as an added bonus the owner, Tina, has lived in the area for nearly two decades so can advise you on anyyyyyything you need to know. The restaurant on the roof is amazing, the drinks at the beachfront bar are delicious, and it’s walking distance to everything you’d want—snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, bike rentals, etc.

We are so happy with the hotel we choose for our week in Mahahual. The location is second to none. It's directly on the malecón with it's own beach. The room was clean spacious and had a ridiculously large deck to lounge on. As avid scuba divers we were happy to have a great dive shop, Dr Dive, right next door to the hotel. Tina the owner is a fantastic host and was always there to ask questions or get information from. She even made arrangements for us to go on an eco tour with local guide Victor who operates Mahahual Ecotours. When we go back to Mahahual we would look no further that this hotel as It met all our needs and more. It deserves all the five star reviews it gets. Thanks for the great week Tina, it was so nice to be travelling again after a long couple of years and there was no better place to travel to.

My friends and I had a fabulous time at Hotel El Caballo Blanco! Our rooms were spacious, very clean and had gorgeous ocean views. The location is prime - steps away from the water, a coffee shop and yummy cafe's. Tina, the owner, is great fun and quick with helpful restaurant and activity recommendations. The entire staff was delightful. The hotel also hosts an amazing italian restaurant on their roof. Tina helped us arrange a private dinner there for our friend's 21st birthday. It was a multi-coursed, delicious meal accompanied by an incredible opera singer! It was a gorgeous experience. I adore Mahahual and can't wait to come back! I will definitely return to Hotel El Caballo Blanco.

My stay at the hotel was marvelous and the owner is so sweet. She helped us out with everything we needed. The food is excellent! They have the best guacamole and enchiladas I have ever tasted! Also, not to mention Conis margaritas! Yum! Their hotel is gorgeous and the rooms are very comfy. I would highly recommend this hotel to family and friends! Thank you Caballo Blanco for making our trip amazing!

The beach is awesome for a relaxing swim and float around in the water. Nice sand on the beach, and sand in the water, even if you go out far it isn't' super deep and the sand is nice, no need for water shoes. Bring your snorkel too, see cool fish without going deep.
When I visited Cancun and Tulum found the waves were rough so hard to just relax in the water, the Beach at Caballo Blanco is close to the barrier reef which blocks the waves from the open ocean, so even on windy days the water is actually very calm so nice to enjoy.
I also like that restaurant serves cheap drinks and great food right on the beach, the waiter waived us in when our lunch was ready lol! Had the biggest plate of fresh sautéed garlic shrimp for less than $10us!
Yes, both ocean view rooms do have 2 chairs each. The luxury ocean view rooms with a terrace have lounge chairs and a table. All rooms have acces to the pool and terrace on the roof. Thank you everyone for answering!!!!
