Our first visit to Mexico and we thought we would try a trusted hotel chain. We were not disappointed. For those wanting great weather, pampering, a dose of nature and a good beach, the Banyan tree is the answer. The walk to the beach from the main hotel could be a little daunting for some, but we did it a coupe of times a day and really enjoyed the wonderful wildlife in the lagoons. Staff were brilliant if a little over attentive sometime due to low occupancy.

The hotel is lovely, it was quite quiet when I was there which was nice and they let me have a late checkout. The cabin was lovely with 3 double beds in it (was quite expensive though for off season). The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, the only thing was the hot water only lasted for about a minute then it was gone which is not great when washing your hair and the showerhead was not the greatest.
The staff were absolutely lovely.

A Beautiful Natural Retreat — Just Bring Extra Pesos for Dining
Our stay at Fairmont Mayakoba was truly special, mostly thanks to the property itself. The resort is built around a network of lagoons and mangroves, and it’s clear an enormous amount of care goes into keeping these green spaces pristine. Winding paths and boat canals thread through the jungle, and you constantly spot wildlife — herons, turtles, even the occasional coati — without ever leaving the grounds. It gives the whole place...

Property just off the strip. Food was good a bit bland in some cases good portion sizes. Rooftop was nice not too busy but busy enough. Staff were very friendly and helpful where necessary.

This was our 3rd trip to Grand Velas but the first with kids. While almost everything was great they need to work on a few things. Firstly provision of high chairs is almost non existent. It often took 15 mins to get a high chair and one time we got given one which was blatantly dangerous - our child could easily have slipped out of the bottom. Considering how many kids were around i found this totally baffling and the constant battle to find high chairs very wearing.

Incredible getaway for myself where I was just looking for a few days to relax. Activities during the day to keep you occupied if needed and decent entertainment at night but this is a relaxed resort so don't expect anything late into the evenings.

Swimmingpool and restaurants on roof. Simply gorgeous. Clean big rooms and a Illy ( italian coffee) machine ( no instruction) but excellent coffee. A new high quality building in a quiete location near 5th avenida in Playa del Carmen.
