Fabulous four day vacation with two of my best friends. Our first night we had dinner at La Laguna, which set the tone for an unforgettable time. Lizbeth was our server and she was the best server for our time at Mayakoba. That’s says a lot as we had good service everywhere but she was above and beyond - friendly, engaging, attentive, putting us totally at ease. Our night was topped off with an unexpected dessert and fireworks celebrating our 40+ years of friendship.

My husband and I snuck away for a child-free baby moon for 5 days and it was truly perfect. The hotel is beautiful, clean and updated. The rooms are very comfortable. We did the all inclusive package and the food did not disappoint. We enjoyed every meal and there are so many restaurants to choose from. Even though this resort is very kid friendly, it did not feel overwhelmed by kids or like the quality suffered at all. They had plenty of private adults only places, numerous pools, swim up bar, etc. And I could go on and on about the service. Every person who worked at the hotel did an amazing job and went above and beyond. They were genuinely helpful. We wanted to do the boat cruise around the properties but weren’t able to get a reservation so Juan Carlos took time out of his day to give us a quick private tour, it made our day and trip so special! Really highly recommend this property.

This is such a fantastic resort- there is something for every traveller- swim up bars, beaches, a kids club, beach pool, and many restaurants and amenities. The place is huge- the beach is about a mile from the main building but golf carts and bikes are plentiful so you reallly don’t have to wait. It’s not a party scene- but that wasn’t what we wanted.
The food was upscale- I highly recommend the all inclusive package. We aren’t big drinkers and it was still worth it.

We stayed here for an award trip and the site was amazing. Staff were incredibly warm and hospitable. The property was its own beautiful ecosystem. Highly recommended taking a boat tour around the property- we saw all kinds of wildlife. The food was amazing and the casita was luxurious.

Title: Beautiful Resort with Steep Dining Prices - Fairmont Mayakoba Review
I recently stayed at the Fairmont Mayakoba and found the resort itself to be quite impressive. The decor throughout the property is beautifully done, creating a luxurious and welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are equally appealing, offering comfort and elegance that meet the high standards of the Fairmont brand.
However, the sprawling nature of the resort means that getting from one part of the property to another, especially from the main areas to the beach, requires transportation by cart. This can be both inconvenient and inconsistent, somewhat dampening the overall convenience of the resort experience.
But my most significant concern lies with the cost of food at the resort's restaurants. There seems to be a substantial discrepancy between the quality of food provided and the prices charged. While I understand that resorts often charge a premium for dining, the prices at Fairmont Mayakoba seem to far exceed what one might expect, even in top-tier restaurants across North America. This is particularly striking given the relatively lower cost of living in the Mexican economy, which makes the high dining costs feel like severe price gouging.
In summary, while the Fairmont Mayakoba offers a beautiful setting and comfortable accommodations, guests should be prepared for the inconvenience of moving around the large property and, more importantly, for the steep dining prices that might not entirely match up with the quality of the food offered.
