Master the secrets of the comal and traditional Al Pastor marinade with the Caribbean Sea as your backdrop. Afterward, skip the crowds and use our secure lockers and 150Mbps Wi-Fi to enjoy a stress-free day of swimming and shopping on the Mahahual boardwalk. It’s the perfect blend of cultural immersion and a relaxing beach break.
