Delicious food and excellent service. Leobardo our waiter made the experience even better, kind of unforgettable. The seafood tower and the pasta was amazing. The virgin passion fruit mojito is the best to drink.

We recently stayed at the Fairmont Mayakoba with our family, and it truly felt like a week in paradise. The entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. Breakfast was a highlight each day. You can choose the beautiful buffet set along the peaceful river—where turtles swim by and birds are singing—or enjoy a delicious à la carte breakfast with stunning ocean views. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. There are plenty of activities to enjoy as well: bicycles, paddleboarding, kayaking, and even a boat ride along the coast. We were especially impressed by the boat tour through the Mayakoba waterways, where we also had the chance to see the neighboring hotels. Our butlers, Alejandro and Daniel, made our stay especially luxurious. They were always quick to respond and incredibly helpful with every request. Daniel from the water sports team also stood out—he was so attentive and made our experience even more memorable. Overall, it was a true 5-star paradise experience. We cannot wait to return!

We had our wedding here this past weekend. The actual wedding exceeded our expectations - the staff led by Jaime Alarcon did a fantastic job! Beautiful property with several pools throughout and amazing beach area. Tons of golf carts always available to transport you throughout the resort (as the beach is a solid 20 minute walk). The spa was excellent as was the breakfast buffet at La Laguna. Added perk is being able to explore/visit the entire Mayakoba complex (including 3 additional hotels) - can actually take a boat to both the Rosewood and Banyan Tree. Amazing golf course. Areas of improvement: quality of dinners can be a bit elevated. Service can be a bit more attentive. Some of our guests tried to order room service but couldn’t even get in touch with anyone to do so.

We had an amazing 4-night stay at the Fairmont Mayakoba! Due to availability we had to pay for an upgrade to a casita and we were glad that we did, it was lovely and in a great location. Bottled water was plentiful and always available in the room. We enjoyed every meal we had and the breakfast buffet had every option available and was top quality! The resort staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The beach was beautiful and the beach side service was very good. They even came by and offered cucumber slices with a cool towel to rest your eyes, mango popsicle refreshments, both free and a very nice touch! We did not mind the golf cart service to the beach, which was a good distance from the rooms. They were easily found and it was a very pleasant ride as the resort property is a tropical jungle gem. The other highlight (not to be missed) is the on-property mangrove boat tour, again at no charge! Be sure to make a reservation for one of the morning tours, best animal viewing at that time. A great experience at the Fairmont Mayakoba!
