My wife and I are just wrapping up a 3 day visit to this amazing resort. I could not wait to write this so I am typing away on my iPad moments before leaving the resort. This is a spectacular resort on all accounts from service to amenities to location and the natural surroundings. Highly recommend to couples wanting to... More

We just returned from 5 nights at Banyan Tree. We had a wonderful time despite daily rain and clouds. The resort is set on a lagoon and the setting is gorgeous and lovely. If you're looking for a beachfront resort with sweeping views of sand and water, this is not the place. But each room comes with a real pool... More

We stayed in the garden villa room which was just fine for us. It was a great place to come for our honeymoon. Although the weather really wasn't on our side, the ambience and staff made up for the difference. The architecture is amazing and you do feel like your in Asia and not Mexico. You feel like a celebrity... More

Last Spring my family and I visited this hotel. I have heard about it, but was delighted to stay here for the first time. The resort is big, with lakes and many trees. There are boats that take you all around the hotel, but we decided to travel around on the bikes the hotel supplied. It was a good 10... More

We stayed in the hotel just as a hurricane was approaching. The staff could not have been more helpful of friendly. Once the storm passed the true beauty of the resort became clear. Its a stunning place. With teenagers riding bikes around the resort was a huge success. I never ate a poor meal. My kids are desperate to return More

This was our first visit to Mexico and we were celebrating our anniversary. We booked Banyan Tree Mayakoba because of all the positive reviews we had read on Tripadvisor. We travel extensively and we always use Tripadvisor as the reviews usually very reliable. In the case of Banyan Tree Mayakoba, we felt that the resort was over-hyped. Although, aesthetically the...

Hands down the best vacation we have ever been on! We just returned from a 5 day stay at the Banyan Tree Mayakoba and from the moment we stepped onto the property we received the 5-star treatment. Through my work, I have been fortunate to stay at many luxury hotels, but to date, nothing has compared to the Banyan Tree.... More

I vacationed here about 3 weeks ago. The mangroves are beautiful. If you like to play golf, it is a must. I made the mistake of booking a townhouse. I am handicapped and there are a TON of stairs. Our resort host that checked us in spoke so soft, and not the best english, that we had no idea how... More

The emphasis on service at this resort is unreal. Every little detail of your experience has been thought of. When you arrive you are greeted with a cold towel and a glass of local green vegetable juice. Instead of waiting for your turn in line (like at most other hotels) you are casually seated in an open air lounge area... More
