I could not have asked for a more perfect, romantic, amazing proposal! As soon as we arrived at the resort I felt as if I was back in Asia. The staff was incredibly friendly and always greeting you with a smile! I have been to many high-end hotels/resorts and this hotel has exceeded my expectations. Stayed in a Courtyard Pool... More

One of our favourite places in the world to visit. The resort is spectacular and the staff is amazing. We booked for 10 days, and began by renting a car in cancun, which i'd recommend and arrived for our second visit. Could somehow be better than the first visit, the accommodations are great, beds are very comfortable, super clean and... More

I rarely write these, but in this case I feel compelled. This trip was a gift to myself (accompanied by my wife) for my 40th birthday. It would have been difficult to find a better place on earth this close to NYC. Everything positive you read below/above is true. This is an incredibly unique/gorgeous property. The grounds/food/staff are absolutely first... More

My reviews are normally longer than this. We went there for our honeymeen August 2011. There is nothing to say about the Banyan Tree Mayakoba except, well, I am in awe. I never thought a place that incredible existed. Perfect staff. Perfect everything. I had tears in my eyes when I left for the first time in my life. More

My husband and I returned to the Banyan Tree again this December with our 6 month old with the fond memory of our previous stay in August 2009. This time we stayed in a Courtyard Villa which was even nicer than our Garden room from last time. We also got a great deal through Jetsetter. You simply can't find a... More

My best girlfriend and I traveled to this property from January 9-14, 2012. Normally I travel to Cabo once or twice a year and almost exclusely stay at the One and Only Palmilla. I have stayed at the Rosewood Mayakoba previously and loved it but got such a good deal on this resort that I couldn't pass it up. It... More

My wife and I have just returned this evening from a three-day, long weekend stay at the Banyan Tree Mayakoba (26-29 January). We were so incredibly impressed by every single facet of our experience, that I am compelled to write an immediate review. The prior reviews suggesting that there are seemingly 3-4 employees per hotel patron are not hyperbole. That... More

This was the most amazing hotel I've ever stayed at. My husband and I love to travel and are always looking for the best resorts. This hotel will exceed everyone's expectations. The rooms were spectacular. Our friends who arrived a day earlier than us had texted to say they "felt like billionaires" when they walked into their room and private... More

We arrived at the Banyan Tree on January 23 after spending three nights at the Rosewood Mayakoba (see our review for Rosewood). We knew Banyan Tree was going to have a tough act to follow because our experience at Rosewood was top notch. I would say the resorts are pretty much on par with each other in terms of service...

My husband, 15 month baby and stayed for a week at the Banyan Tree in August, and we had such a wonderful time that we are returning again in February (this time splitting our time between BT and Rosewood). We have stayed at some of the top resorts in Thailand/Bali (Aman, FS, GHM), the Caribbean (Viceroy) and Mexico (O&O), and... More
