Loved our stay, the property is beautiful, the staff was amazing!

Our Villa was not on the beach but it was spectacular. With a private pool and jacuzzi. It was family-friendly. Many activities for the kids. Bicycles were given to each family member. The beach area is amazing. It has a great restaurant and a nice pool. The restaurants at the hotel and at the other Mayakoba hotels are very good. The best part is the staff. They accommodate and coordinate everything you want. Our personal concierge Madai was GREAT!

Great place to stay!

Great hotel, wonderful staff and facilities. I gave 4 stars because the food was really expensive. I understand a mark up but the cocktails are $30 and over $200 for a steak at the Sands Beach Club. A bottle of champagne was over a $1,000. Come on guys…..

Unfortunately the ocean view was blocked by bushes. They said these bushes were part of the ecology. That said the beach chairs, which did not have covers and were not the same height, were not high wnough to see over the bushes. It really makes no sense to pay for a private ocean view that is not as good as the public view.

Staff are incredible!

The staff at check in and out could use some hospitality training - this is our 4th stay and this has never improved although overall service at the resort has significantly improved aside from this. The amenities and location are wonderful and it is a beautiful resort. The waiters at the beach were excellent as always and should be given a shout out including Victor, Juan and Edwin

This is our 4th time staying at the Banyan Tree Mayakoba. The service has significantly improved over previous stays and we would rank it 9/10. The updated rooms are beautiful and the amenities are excellent. The food however for a hotel of this level could be significantly improved except for the Sands and Tomahawk restaurants. Also be prepared to 50+ burgers and a significant price tag for all food.

Excellent all around price high for what we needed

Best resort I stayed at in Mexico

Absolutely stunning, as always, at this property. Impeccably clean, every attention to detail was made, the staff is wonderful and friendly, and they provided an upgrade based on availability without even asking. This is the 4th time I’ve stayed at the Property and I will continue to return, by far my favorite resort in the Riviera Maya area!

Our check-in day hotel manager and our dedicated support staff went out their ways to accommodate us after unexpected hiccups of our first night stay. Starting from our second day of stay, our experience started turning around and reached one of our best overall luxury hotel experience toward the end of our 5 day stay mostly because of the friendliness and attentiveness of every hotel staff we have encountered. The beach club and kids center, swimming pool and the private beach, all highlights of the stay. An expensive vacation on slippery slope at the start saved by tireless human effort and great services culture. Our kids loved the experience!

Truly a five-star resort! Our room was amazing—always clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. We loved the upgrade that put us just 100 yards from the beach and pool. The secluded outdoor hot tub and shower, connected to the indoor shower, were incredible and something we used every single day. We thought we would use the upstairs sitting area and private pool more, but since we were so close to the beach, we ended up spending most of our time there instead. The villa is about 0.9 miles from the main hotel, but it’s easy to get around using the bikes provided with the villa or by taking the shuttle. What a place! We typically stay at Fairmont hotels, but having a private villa instead of just a beautiful hotel room is something that would definitely bring us back again. The staff were all so kind, helpful and spoke English well. Banyan Tree truly has a warm and friendly team. The only thing to keep in mind is that food and drinks are expensive onsite. If you want a good, inexpensive meal, you’ll need to drive about 25 minutes into town. Just be prepared to spend as much—or even more—on food and drinks as you would at a five-star resort in Hawaii.

Bad

Igor and Rafael and the entire Banyan Tree staff went out of their way to make sure we had a great trip despite some unforeseen issues with the renovations of our room. The management went above and beyond to save our stay and keep us and our entire group together even though some of us had to be relocated. Igor could give a masterclass in great hospitality. Note for anyone considering staying here- it was challenging to get in touch with the hotel until we got onsite. It’s a pretty massive property and not walkable. 10 minute Golf carts ride and 20 minute bike rides are the only way to get around from rooms to restaurants to beach. Thank you to the Banyan Tree staff.

No services

The property, services and staff was excellent. we felt quite safe in myakoba. The spa was amazing. The food at saffron did not disappoint.The only issue was the mosquitoes at dawn and dusk. Our concierge, Juan was particularly attentive, and we felt his absence when he went on vacation.

My favorite thing, aside from how beautiful the property is, is the absolute KINDEST staff I’ve ever experienced. They were all so genuine, helpful and sweet. They give you undivided attention with every conversation and make sure you are as comfortable as possible. The staff here is truly incredible.

Excellent
