The resort is set in a beautiful, peaceful area surrounded by lush greenery. The Mayakoba jungle atmosphere made it easy to forget that I was in a gated resort. Traveling from Cancun took about 40 minutes, but the tranquil environment was worth the journey. The convenience of biking around the hotel to the beach was a good bonus.

My stay at Banyan Tree Mayakoba was pleasant with some highlights, but it lacked the really good touch I was hoping for. The villa I stayed in was beautiful, and the lagoon setting is stunning. However, I found the beach area disappointing, and the dining options felt overpriced for what they offered. Overall, it was a nice experience, but not as nice as I expected. 🌴✨

My stay at Banyan Tree Mayakoba was nothing short of lovely. The service was really good, with every team member eager to help, from the moment I arrived until I checked out. The spacious oceanfront suite was a dream, featuring a private plunge pool that I loved. The only downside was the food prices; while everything was delicious, it felt a bit steep compared to other high-end resorts I've visited.
