We had never been to an All-Inclusive before and didn't know what to expect. What we discovered was a vacation beyond all our expectations.

If you are looking for a place to be waited on hand and foot and treated like you are back in your home country, don't come here. If you are looking for the ritziest, most glamourous place to tell all your friends about, don't come here. If you are looking to be entertained all day, don't come here. If you are looking for huge crowds and lots of parties, don't come here.

If you want to be treated like you are a guest in someone's humble abode, come here. If you want to meet the most gracious, accomodating locals, come here. If you want simple, fresh food that is "home cooked", come here. If you want an amazing white sand beach with no crowds, come here. This experience was incredible. We met people from West Virginia and Montana that made the trip even more special. We loved all the staff. It seems you get back what you put into this vacation spot. We went with no expectations and came away with an absolutely unforgettable experience we will treasure forever. To us, this truly was a paradise.

My husband and I wanted to get away from everything and just relax. We found just that at Maya Tankah. All the staff were friendly and very helpful. We ate all three meals at the hotels buffet and everytime the food was above exceptional. Great private beach, no one bothered us. The view was spectacular. We are already making plans for the next trip to Maya Tankah. If you want the parties this is not the place for you. The most excitement you will get is Jenga at the open bar on the beach. I just cant express the great time we had just reading a book on the beach and spending the one on one time with each other. I would recomend to all.

Let me first say that I have stayed at MANY all inclusives. This was a shocker. I guess from the moment we drove in we knew we were not going to be impressed. And we weren't. There was probably only about 12 people at the resort. And maybe that was the biggest problem. But if you are paying for something you should still receive the service one would expect. With no one staying at the hotel, shockingly we didn't have hot water 2 times. (In 3 nights.) The food was TERRIBLE. The buffet was open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Again, maybe it was the lack of people. In fact one day, we went to Xel-Ha and bought the all inclusive to not only enjoy ourselves, but to eat and drink there. The ala carte restaurant was not open at all. No tea time. No massage therapist. One bar was open at 11:00 a.m. The whole experience was so disappointing. I would never under any circumstances stay here again. Oh, and the snack bar. We had french fries and pork rinds. GROSS!

We came for the week of thanksgiving for our honeymoon. We enjoyed the secluded empty beach. Upstairs room is the way to go, better views. The staff is wonderful as you can see in the other reviews. Not so much to do on property, but Paul and I wanted to run on the beach and go diving, Maya Tankah is close to great cenote diving! Into tulum is fun too good cheap food, nice people and great public beach right by the ruins. I still think it was a great value food was okay and it was great to have a couple of coronas and hang on the beach!!
