We stayed 4nights at Casita room. The overall experience was great, especially the staff. We tried all restaurants in the resort. In our opinion, the best one is the one by the beach. It looks good & taste good. Buffet Breakfast by the pool is also amazing. There are huge selections of food, juices, fruits. And the price is around... More

We staid at Fairmont Mayakoba recently to attend a wedding hosted there. We are not the big resort/hotel type so we didn't have massive expectations for the place but I admit it was worse that I imagined. It's a big resort, you walk for ages to get anywhere and if - like us - you have a child it means... More

Our sons wedding....the most perfect destination ever. The resort was impeccable, the staff friendly and very competent. Everyone seemed to genuinely care about their work, our comfort and happiness. I can't say enough about the orchestration of the wedding day, the location, flowers, food, music. It really was more than we ever expected. Thank you to everyone involved in making... More

Do not waste your invaluable time with this resort. It operates as wildly as a well-oiled Carnival cruise ship. We spent over 3 months trying to finalize our contracting terms for our wedding at the Fairmount Mayakoba. In that unfortunate span of time we were bounced around to 3 different group sales "geniuses" with each one of them telling us... More

We stayed at the Fairmont Mayakoba in April 2013. We found it to be very beautiful, and clean. The staff was very friendly! The concierge was most helpful with all of our requests. Transportation and tours were top notch. We highly recommend the boat tour of the property to everyone, as this was one of the highlights for the whole... More

Resort is big and beautiful, with lush greenery and wildlife: iguanas, tropical birds, baby alligators, reptiles .There are several pools with enough chairs and space, The resort even if it is full it never felt crowded. The private beach is magnificent and very large. Very good for swimming. We stayed not in casitas but in the building next to Reception.... More

We just returned from 6 days at the Fairmont Mayakoba. The resort is beautiful, the golf course well maintained but most of all the service was exceptional! We entertained 40 costumers and everyone said they would definitely return to this resort. Much of our relaxing time was spent around the pool at the swim up pool bar. Jaun and Jeronimo... More

Beautiful hotel with a wonderful golf course. A different hotel than you would expect for a beach hotel, since its more of a wild life eco. They only have a small beach club, but if you are not a beach bum, the hotel is very beautiful. The canal trip was wonderful as their staff.
