Fairmont Mayakoba

The service at this place is fantastic, and the pool and beach were the most beautiful I've ever experienced. We really enjoyed everything, and this is a pricier but fantastic place to bring young children. They try to think of most things for your comfort. I really appreciated that they had an electric kettle and mosquito spray in the room (but I did get bitten on my face one night while sleeping...not too bad though because the mosquitoes there are not the worst). I really hope to come back next year!! One driver told us how one family had been celebrating Christmas and NYE there for many years, and that last year they blocked out 29 rooms. I think that's impressive and quite telling of how great this place is.

The included breakfast at La Laguna was quite devoid of flavor, I must say, so we opted to have breakfast at Las Brisas each morning, even though there was a small charge for it, as it was quite delicious and right by the beach. We ended up eating at Las Brisas quite a lot!I think the alcoholic cocktails that I had at the restaurants and bar pools could have been better, and the food at La Laguna and the hotel lobby restaurant was not good.

We loved golf at El Cameleon, snorkeling off property, cooking classes with hotel chefs and first rate service at pools and beach. We’ve stayed in hotels all over the world as a family, and our boys stated this is probably their top two places to have ever stayed. Best vacation ever....the staff is amazing, friendly, and kind. Well done...we’re planning to come back next year!

Property is outstanding. We loved the way we were in the natural environment both outside and in our room. Staff is top shelf, all very professional and friendly. The amount of effort to maintain the rooms, main property and beaches is remarkable. Fully enjoyed the beach-side services and restaurants. Easy to walk around and take a cart when needed. The dining options were all enjoyable.

While the effort to groom the beach is incredible, much better than 2 other locations we were at the same week; the amount of seaweed made the beach experience a little less than perfect. We enjoyed all the restaurant we ate at but would have liked the option for some sort of gourmet dining experience fitting for a resort of this level.

Every thing

Beautiful hotel and amazing staff.

The beach had a lot of seaweed and constant cleaning up process, possibly the time of year.
