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

Beautiful property with excellent service

Ocean scene was amazing. Clean beach , minimal seaweed

Amazing. Simply amazing

Overall this property didn’t live up to the expectations. The housekeeping services were 10/10, the villa was relaxing but everything else was overrated. Would not recommend honestly- a lot more better options at this price point.

Service was amazing
