Great overall

Amazing! Would definitely come back! Service was incredible! Shout out to Oscar at Hix and Gilberth at the beach!

We had an amazing experience at the Fairmont! The service was wonderful — every staff member we met was friendly, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making our stay special. The resort is beautiful, well-maintained, and perfect for families. We can’t wait to come back!

Clean room. Good food. Enjoyable

best place in all riviera Maya.

This a truly beautiful resort with beautiful rooms, incredible staff with amenities that are fitting with the expectations.

Fantastic - will be going back!

Service: A) Spent 20 mins trying to contact someone to order room service for breakfast at 8:15 am and could not get a hold of anyone. Did not receive a call back. B) Multiple requests on restaurants went unanswered: example, additional coffee or water. C) Drink services by the pool are subpar. Started ordering two drinks at a time since I was not sure how long it will take them to come back. Drink service by the beach was nonexistent for three out of the four days we were there: One waiter every 2 or 3 hours. Property A) Main pool complex and 3-4 restaurants closed for renovations. While I understand this is low season and why they are close for renovations I think this information should be clearly communicated while booking rather than after arrival to the hotel. One of the days could not sit by the pool since all the spots were taken (main pool was closed) -Wi-Fi is spotty at best in our rooms -AC in the rooms is not working properly. The best explanation I got is that there is a sensor that if it does not detect activity for a set number of hours it will turn the AC off until it reaches a set temperature. We set the AC to 68 and work fine during the day (as long as there was movement in the room?), at night it will get to 71 or 72 before it started working again. Positive: -Installations are well kept -Food is great, especially at Tauro and Gaia -Service on some areas of the hotel are excellent (what you would expect): Cafe maya, Gaia and Tauro for example

I was disappointed that the main pool area was closed as well as three of the dinner restaurants and the buffet breakfast restaurant. As a result, there was limited food options. I would not have booked the resort if I knew this.

Property is really nice. Convenient golf shuttle around the property that comes frequent and drivers are friendly and helpful. Only if the restaurants offer better food options. It’s all inclusive but be mindful of the excluded drinks and snacks in the room, and some restaurants have excluded items that you have to pay extra.

We had a great stay at the Fairmont. The food, the scenery and the activities. Everything was perfect. We plan to come back. Worth every penny.

it was Beautiful and relaxing

Great place for a family vacation.

Our family loved the Fairmont Mayakoba. We highly recommend it.. Irene and Sophia were so helpful and sweet !!! Food was good and the beach was great!

I waited a week before posting this review to allow the property sufficient time to address a significant billing issue. Unfortunately, I am still awaiting a refund of $1,500 that was incorrectly charged to my account. Despite being told the "mistake" would be corrected immediately, no resolution has been made. I strongly encourage guests to review their final bill and ensure any discrepancies are resolved before departure. While the property and the service were outstanding, there were several disappointing aspects of our experience. Check-in was particularly unpleasant. We arrived at 9:00 AM after a long journey, and although the hotel was only 40% occupied, we were not allowed to access our room early. Instead, we were directed to change in the public lobby restroom. This was extremely uncomfortable and inappropriate 5 guests were forced to change in an area with no privacy, with luggage spread out on the corridor. A basic courtesy, such as offering a temporary room would have gone a long way in demonstrating hospitality and professionalism. Additionally, the breakfast buffet was very disappointing — the selection was limited, the quality was poor, and the standards were far from "exceptional" rated hotel.I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Dmitri and the team at the beachfront restaurant. We were accommodated to have breakfast there for the duration of our stay.Dmitri and his team exemplified what true hospitality looks like with their warm, genuine service.

A Truly Memorable Stay – Highly Recommended! We recently stayed at this beautiful hotel and had a fantastic time with the family (2 adults and 2 kids – 14 & 9 years old). From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The service was top-notch — every staff member we encountered was friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to make our stay special. The room and hotel facilities were excellent, with everything impeccably maintained and thoughtfully designed for comfort and enjoyment. The beach is beautiful, and we really appreciated the hotel’s efforts to combat sargassum and keep the shoreline clean and inviting, which allow us to enjoy the ocean every day during our stay. One of the biggest highlights was the dining experience. The variety and quality of the food was outstanding, something you rarely find in an all-inclusive. Each meal felt like a culinary treat, with fresh ingredients, creative menus, and beautiful presentation. You can make reservations in advance for the hotel restaurants via OpenTable, which is a big plus. On the other side, waiting time for breakfast can be a bit long (up to 30 minutes) since there is only one restaurant included in the all-inclusive package. And mosquitoes can get bad at La Laguna restaurant so be prepared if you sit outside. But overall, we couldn’t be happier with our stay. Fully recommended—we’ll definitely be back!

This property is huge. Nature is fantastic. Good is really good for an all inclusive package. Premium food and drinks. Rooms are amazing, the lower level casitas have an amazing outdoor shower which brings a unique experience. I totally recommend this amazing hotel.

We cannot say enough about this property and the amazing staff with their meticulous attention to detail & comfort of each one of our family members- we had the best trip ever!

We had a fabulous stay at the Fairmont. The booking was done at the last minute because we were due to stay at a much smaller boutique hotel however we were very nervous of having our holiday ruined due to the sargassum (seaweed - google it before booking Mexico). We were already in Mexico and witnessed knee deep 20m wide sargassum belt (rotting and smelly) further down the coast at a different hotel. I emailed the Fairmont whilst in country to check if they had any protection, after they confirmed that they did we cancelled the other hotel and booked here. We are so pleased that we did, you are made to feel special from the moment you arrive and their seaweed protection barrier gave us everything we hoped for, white sands, turquoise ocean and no knee deep seaweed to wade through. The restaurants were lovely, the service exceptional and the room very relaxing. Bikes and golf carts help you to get around whilst the quietness and size of the site didn’t make it feel like you were on a vast resort. One word of advice, book restaurants before you arrive (via emailing the concierge) or on your first day if you’re on an extended trip otherwise you may well be stuck eating at 5pm or 9pm! In high season, this is a must.
