Blissfully Relaxing for the Body, Mind, and Soul
At last, we had been waiting for the Banyan Tree Mayakoba to open up for years. Having had the pleasure to experience the Banyan Tree in Phuket, Thailand and Mahe, Seychelles, we were very anxious for one to open up close to us. Thankfully they did and it was just as beautiful and amazing as only the BT can be. The Banyan Tree is very special. It’s more than just a luxury resort with beautiful decor and an amazing architecture. It’s an eco-friendly luxury resort that touches all your senses. It’s blissfully relaxing for... more

Paradise on Earth
Having known, but never experienced, Banyan Tree's reputation my family and I couldn't wait till the opening of this fantastic resort. I was somewhat concerned that we were going to a resort that just opened six weeks prior to our arrival but I have to say that if anybody else is concerned don't be. The greatest asset to any resort are its employees and this resort has hit a home run. The fusion between the Asian influence and Mexican hospitality is a marriage made in heaven. There several pros and cons: Pros: 1) Service & Pool... more

AMAZING, UNIQUE, A RARE FIND -- it was so special it felt like a honeymoon
My husband and I loved every minute at the BT. The service was professional, warm and welcoming. They were always there when needed but not in your face annoying. We stayed for 5 nights and couldve easily stayed longer. The villa was spectacular. Yyou could tell that the designers, both for the villas and the resort, thought every possible detail through. The decor, beauty, privacy and overall feel that the place has is special. Our private pool was much larger than what we were expecting and the different outdoor lounge areas (one... more

IIncredible rooms and impeccable service in your private oasis
Banyan Tree Mayakoba is recently opened and is a 45 minute drive from the Cancun International Airport. We used Eurocar and they had very good rates and service. We had the lowest category pool villa and it met our expectations and we were very pleased with the room. You have a large walk-in closet that has umbrellas, mosquito spray, slippers, bathrobes, safe, etc. Basically, you need to bring only sunscreen, as far as those extras you might think you need. The rooms have a nice feature by the bed that is a privacy switch that lights up... more

Serene Oasis
This newly opened property is BT's first venture into Mexico. The design and decor of the property is exceptional. Both the rooms and public spaces represent an imaginative and successful fusion of Mexican and Asian styles. The Banyan Tree hotel is actually one of five hotels in a cluster. Each hotel is totally self-contained but they share a Greg norman designed golf course and tennis courts. The spa, however, is totally self-contained to Banyan Tree and up to BT's normal high standards. We found the food quality in the three... more

Spacious, comfortable resort with truly 5 star amenities
When we were booking our vacation in January, we were thrilled to learn that we could be experiencing the renowned Banyan Tree's amenities and service without going all the way to the other side of the globe. We were a little hesitant at first because we would be one of the first guests at the hotel since the hotel officially opens on March 1st. However, our 6 days stay at the hotel was thoroughly enjoyable despite the hiccups and kinks of a resort that's still ramping up. The Banyan Tree experience started right from the moment we... more

Wonderful, beautiful, but very pricey
Just came back from a short stay at Banyan Tree Mayakoba. We wanted to have a nice romantic getaway and Thailand or Malaysia was a bit too far away. This was perfect for that as it beautifully blends Asia and Mexico. The other reviewers are spot on - everything is impeccable. The service is really outstanding. The food is wonderful. The rooms are amazing. It's really geared towards a quiet and elegant getaway. It's so far away from the party Cancun atmosphere. I would totally recommend this resort to anyone...who doesn't... more

Dear Guest, On behalf of the Banyan Tree Mayakoba family, I would like to thank you for taking the time to give your comments following your stay with us. Our goal of creating an Asian Sanctuary for the Senses here in America at the Banyan Tree Mayakoba, is not yet fully realised, but it is very satisfying to know that we are on the right track. We have taken action regarding your comments on the menu and food costs. Just for clarification, the amount of the service charge is 15% and it covers the expected tip. The other 10% charge is the local tax. Once again I appreciate your preference in choosing us, and I look forward of hosting you again in the near future. Sincerely, Pancho Llamas Vice President Area General Manager

If you have the $$$ this is the place to be
My girlfriend and I did not stay at this hotel; we stayed at the Fairmont on the same property but went over for dinner and wow! My girlfriend is an architect and said it is one of the most stunning properties she has ever seen, in a rendering or otherwise, and I would agree. When you walk in, the first thing you see is a 40 ft. Banyan Tree in the middle of a large basin of still water. Most of the hotel is open air and the design is brilliant. The staff to guest ratio is 4:1; the service is impeccable. We had dinner at Saffron,... more
Management response from Banyan_Tree_Mayakoba

Dear Guest, On behalf of the team at Banyan Tree, we wish to thank you and your girlfriend for your kind comments about our resort’s design and restaurant. Saffron is our signature contemporary Thai restaurant, and we have indeed flown over two Thai chefs from our flagship property, Banyan Tree Phuket, in order to maintain its high standards. We hope that you find our menu prices are in line with the quality of ingredients and extra touches that are hallmarks of the Banyan Tree experience. Mayakoba – meaning “village of water” – was envisioned as an ecologically sensitive development, which would give protection to the mangroves, which are protected in this area. This is the reason why Banyan Tree, along with Fairmont and Rosewood, chose to build our property with a small footprint leading to the beach. Through careful architecture, we built the majority of our villas along the canals and mangroves, offering a rare view of nature at its best through the many flourishing fauna and flora right at your doorstep. Wsincerely hope to welcome you to Banyan Tree Mayakoba on a future occasion. Warm Regards, Pancho Llamas Vice President Area General Manager

Amazing Vacation
Just returned from the Banyan Tree. My wife and I had an amazing time at this first-class location. The villas are awesome. Very private and isolated. If you are looking for a 5-star location with privacy and relaxation, this is you place. The service from top to bottom is exceptional. You are treated first class from the moment you arrive till the time you depart. The villa pools are awesome, the beach is great. They even let you use bikes during your stay to get around the venue. We will visit the Banyan Tree again and again.

Banyan Tree makes a triumphant entry into North America with this AMAZING resort
As loyal Four Seasons customers, we have high standards and were very excited about a BT resort coming to North America. In many ways, the BT Mayakoba is comparable to the neighboring Rosewood resort where we stayed last year. The Rosewood is a wonderful resort, but the BT is even better and compares favorably to many of the Four Seasons resorts. Please read this review with the caveat that this resort literally is brand new as opened just a week ago. We were met at the Cancun airport by a BT representative and escorted to a sleek... more
Management response from Banyan_Tree_Mayakoba

Dear guest, I would like to thank you for taking the time to write about your experience with us and for your high commendation on our service. Your remarks are very much appreciated as they help us to improve both our service and our product and I want to share with you the actions we are taking for your comments. Regarding the outdoor shower, we are in the process to change all of them by the end of this year as well as installing heaters for main pools by the same time. And for the privacy of the upstairs shower, we are also making it more private while still allowing you to enjoy the natural environment. Your comments regarding the menus and portions of food in our restaurants have been discussed with the Food and Beverage Director for his review. New buggies will be arriving in two weeks time in order to improve our guest transportation service. We look forward to your return to Banyan Tree Mayakoba and to having the privilege of being of service to you again soon. Sincerely, Pancho Llamas Vice President Area General Manager
