Earlier this year, I posted a bit about Mahahual and Xcalak after Hurricane Dean. I just got a note from a hotel owner down that way confirming what I said, and even saying the beach is actually bigger now, and there’s a new malecon. I’m looking forward to seeing the place next spring.
And for anyone who might still be hesitant to visit the area following the hurricane (which was more than a year ago now), I can’t emphasize enough that the area is fine. Mexico has an exemplary hurricane-response system, and people work hard and fast to rebuild.
