We had an absolute blast staying at the Fairmont Mayakoba, and dining at Bassano, the hotel’s Italian restaurant, was an absolute highlight of our trip. The food was excellent both nights, but what really made our experience unforgettable was our waiter, Netanel. Netanel is, without a doubt, the best server we’ve encountered throughout our entire vacation. He is incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming—a genuinely golden person who instantly makes you feel right at home. In fact, his outstanding hospitality was the main reason we came back to Bassano for a second night in a row! If you are dining at Bassano, make sure to ask for Netanel. Thank you, Netanel, for making our stay so special! Warmly, The Raban Family

We really liked our stay here: the beaches, the pools and even the food was amazing. The service of the employees make you feel more comfortable. We give a special shoutout to: Jesús: the tatich driver, Yoanna at the beach, Rocio and Armando at the pools, Brettania, Heber and Juan Carlos in the restaurants (Bassano, Tauro and La Cantina). And last but not least, Carlos the boat driver in the lagoon.

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!
