Our Story

The people and the property behind Nacional Beach Club & Bungalows, on the Malecon in Mahahual.

Our Beginnings

The Story Is Still Being Written

The full story of how Nacional came to Mahahual is on its way to this page. We are getting the details right before we tell it. In the meantime, ask us in person and we will gladly tell it over coffee under the palapa.

The People You'll Meet

With ten bungalows and a beach club capped at forty day guests, the team here stays small enough to host in person. We greet you by name when your taxi pulls up, and by the second morning someone has learned how you take your coffee. The property is owner-operated, and that shows in how closely everyone pays attention. Guests often mention the team by name in their reviews. Here is one:

“Our concierge, Jimena, was lovely and took excellent care of us.”

How We Source
