"I enjoyed my time at Caballo Blanco in Mahahual. A calm and relaxed space. Tina, the owner was very helpful and kind, and is readily available. She was welcoming and provided good information about the area. It’s great to have the beach just feet away from the hotel and the restaurant next door easily caters with food and drinks. Although there was some sargassum, the community worked hard to clean it up. A small beach town that feels safe and welcoming. :)"
