It's been over 2 years since our small fishing village suffered the ravages of Hurricane Dean. We are proud of the amazing challenges that were met by so many who suffered greatly and recovered so quickly.

The town has a new malecon (boardwalk) on the Sea which is lovely and has many Mexican restaurants and shops.

It's natural to wonder why the mangroves are grey and some homes have not been rebuilt. In the meantime, new growth is evident and with time, the mangroves will recover. Mahahual remains a funky little fishing village that is quiet on non cruise ship days and lively when the ships come in.

Our diving centres are all reporting healthy reefs and aquatic life. We've had great reports from tourists who have loved the snorkeling and diving here as well as the daily fresh fish served in our restaurants. That's one of our main attractions - looking at the sea on a clean beach and eating fresh ceviche and pescado!

This boardwalk on the beach has become a gathering place for locals and tourists; it's not unusual to see folks bicycling, jogging or just walking along this lengthy, well - landscaped boardwalk. There is relaxed sense of well being and promise and lots of restaurants!
