Amazing hotel and service
Posted May 21, 2017This place is amazing!! The villas are amazing. My wife and I stayed and from the moment we checked in we had some of the best service ever. We had a one bedroom villa which had an outside tub shower and pool with three seating areas outside. We went to the spa and ate at both the lobby restaurant and tomahawk, Both were excellent. This hotel is great for couples and we will for sure head back.
Only con was the beach for the banyan tree had some rocks, but you can walk over to other beaches like the one in front of the fairmont which was nicer.

excellent hospitality and beautiful resort
Posted May 19, 2017
Pros: All four restaurants offer great food and great selection of wines.
Cons: nothing
Location: Xplor and Circus del solei was the best memories. Make sure you reserve for the circus with full dinner! It looked amazing.
My husband and I stayed at Banyan tree for a total of 11 days and every day was amazing.

Outstanding holiday!
Posted Apr 16, 2017We had a great experience at Banyan Tree Mayakoba. The resort is in an area of incredible natural beauty with a great variety of flora and fauna - we saw a range of beautiful birds, raccoons, iguanas, crocodiles and turtles whilst there. The villas are well appointed, the bedrooms and living area were very comfortable although the bathrooms are a little tired and could do with a refurb in my view. The big heated pool in the villa was great for the family. The food is superb across the restaurants, especially Mexican food at La Copa and Thai from Saffron, they have a mix of various food options all of which are generally excellent. The golf course is world class and we got a deal for the whole week and played every day whilst there, lots of wildlife on the course as well. The staff are amazing, very warm and will know you by name.

Private resort getaway
Posted Mar 18, 2017
Pros: The private pool was great. I took a quick dip every evening before jumping in bed.
Location: A quick taxi ride to Playa del Carmen allowed for plenty of dining options and late-night entertainment at Coco Bongo.
Visited Banyan Tree for four nights in March. The villa was perfect, and while the resort was at or near capacity, when at our villa, we had the sense of being the only ones there. The private outdoor space, including the pool, allowed of an easy late night swim, or reading in the lounge chairs.
The service throughout was excellent. Any request to shuttle us elsewhere on the property was immediately handled with a smile. We had five meals (dinner, lunch twice, and breakfast twice) on the property and all were excellent. The tour agent one site helped us choose a private trip to Tulum, which was then best service one could request.
The attention to detail was quickly noticed in the resort having insect repellent available in the room. (I did use it during the sunset hours while sitting outside, but it was not needed during daytime sunbathing.)

This was the perfect place for our girls trip. Everyone who works there was so accommodating and charming. Loved our villa and all the restaurants and especially the Mexican coffee and breakfast. Very comfy by the beach and pool. We will be back!
