This is a beautiful property with great amenities. The best part of our trip was the service we received from Marlin and Edgar. The level of service they delivered was exceptional. Their attentional to detail was extraordinary. They really know how to deliver an amazing experience and elevate expectations….

Our time at the Fairmount was spectacular! From the moment we arrived we were given wonderful service from all, which complemented the beautiful property. Daniel and his team greeted us from the start and were always there to help answer our questions, and direct us accordingly. They made a large resort feel like it was a small community. Thank you again, Daniel, for your attention! We hope to be back!

The most amazing property. Beautiful grounds and the staff is gracious, helpful & professional! My special thanks to the butlers who supported me during my visit- Daniel & Alejandro. They were responsive, helpful and very courteous.

I would HIGHLY recommend the Fairmont Mayakoba for a big girls trip! We just spent 3 nights there with our group of 13 bffs from college and had a wonderful time. Luis Rodriguez and Ali Bolanos both deserve raises - they were the most responsive, attentive, kind, helpful butlers and if I come back I will certainly be requesting them again!!! A couple things I wish had gone differently - 1. When I arrive to a resort like this I really would love a welcome drink! Even if it’s a smoothie! 2. When I arrive to a resort like this that is so spread out I really need a golf cart tour - that did not happen and as a result we were so lost for the first 1-2 days. 3. We paid a lot of money for a private tennis clinic as we wanted to play 105 and I found this to be a huge waste of money. The pro did not help us really at all nor could he keep track of the score which was a bit disappointing. But between Luis and Ali’s help, the various delicious restaurants on campus, the INCREDIBLE spa, and the amazing rooftop bar Cielo I do still have to highly recommend this vacation!

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!
