We stayed at Banyan Tree Mayakoba as a family and had a very good experience overall. The property is beautiful, peaceful and extremely pleasant, with a relaxed luxury atmosphere that we really enjoyed. The villas are beautiful, spacious and very comfortable, with a real feeling of privacy. They also feel fresh and well maintained — very different from our experience at Banyan Tree Phuket, where the villas felt noticeably more dated. The pools in the villas were incredibly spacious. Not the usual plunge pool you will see in many hotels. One of the highlights for us was the beach club. It is really excellent: calm, comfortable, beautiful and very enjoyable, with a wide beach and a great pool area. The restaurant by the beach was also very good. We actually visited Rosewood Mayakoba during our stay, which is generally considered the most upscale property in Mayakoba, and we were surprised not to be particularly impressed by its beach and pool area. It felt much busier and noisier, the pool was crowded, and the beach itself seemed noticeably narrower. In comparison, we much preferred the atmosphere, space and layout at Banyan Tree. The kids club was also excellent. It is not one of those enormous, spectacular kids clubs, but the team working there was wonderful and the children really enjoyed spending time with them. Given the size and positioning of Mayakoba, it could perhaps benefit from a small water-play or splash area for younger children, but that would really be an additional plus rather than a major criticism. Breakfast was good, and overall the food we tried was of a good standard. What we appreciated most was the atmosphere: upscale but relaxed, family-friendly without feeling hectic, and with enough space that the resort never felt overcrowded. The hotel Overall, Banyan Tree Mayakoba offers a very complete luxury resort experience and, for us, the beach and pool environment was actually one of the strongest in Mayakoba. We would happily return.
