The trip was one of our best vacations. The resort was incredible. They service was above and beyond. Our butlers Rodrigo and Daniel could not have been more helpful. Room service kept the room clean and visited twice a day. We felt completely safe in the resort.

The Fairmont Mayakoba is an amazing resort that we highly recommend for your next vacation. We were upgraded to a suite due to the Uruguay soccer team being too near our original room and had two assistants personally assigned to us, Vanessa and Fernando, who made sure our vacation day was top-notch. They recommended things we didn’t even know we needed and made sure everything we wanted to do we wanted to go was arranged for us. It is a beautiful resort, easily walkable, and there are bikes to ride all over the property to be adjoining properties. We give this a 10 out of 10.

We had a great time at the resort. Beautiful property. We stayed in the beach front properties and had the absolutely best butlers. Edgar and Marlon helped us with rides, dinner reservations, suggestions, and overall questions. Request them if you can! They were fantastic.

We had a great experience as a family. Our kids loved riding bikes around the resort spotting all kinds of wildlife. We especially enjoyed Daniel and Rodrigo, our butler team during the week. They were so friendly and made sure we always had everything we needed. They really went above and beyond. What a great trip.

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!
