Very nice Spa Experience

During my stay, I indulged in the Rainforest Experience at the spa, which included various water circuits like a sauna, steam room, and powerful water jets that felt as good as a massage. I highly recommend this unique experience! The atmosphere was relaxing, and it truly enhanced my vacation. The therapists were professional and made the experience lovely.

Stunning Villa Accommodations

I stayed in a villa with a private pool, which was absolutely amazing. The design was luxurious, featuring an outdoor bathtub and a spacious living area. I loved how the room provided a sense of privacy, yet offered easy access to all resort facilities. It was truly a home away from home where I could relax and unwind.

Really good Dining Options

Each meal I had at the Banyan Tree was a culinary delight. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet which offered an impressive variety of options, including authentic Mexican dishes that were simply delicious. Dining at Saffron was a highlight too, with its amazing Thai flavors setting a high bar for authenticity and taste.

The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, although I found the dining options limited in variety and a bit overpriced for what was offered. Overall, it was a relaxing retreat, but the inconsistent quality of service at times made it less ideal than it could have been.

My stay at Banyan Tree Mayakoba was simply unforgettable! The property is breathtaking, with lush surroundings and a magical atmosphere. While the room was dark being in the basement, the spacious layout and private outdoor pool more than made up for it. The breakfast buffet was an absolute highlight, but I had a minor hiccup with the hot tub not heating during my last night. Nevertheless, this resort is perfect for a special occasion or a relaxing getaway.

My stay at the hotel was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty thanks to the incredibly attentive staff. The villa was absolutely stunning, complete with a private pool and lovely outdoor spaces, though I did find the bed a bit too firm for my liking. The dining was exceptional, with delicious food at every restaurant we tried. The spa was one of the highlights; I had an amazing Balinese massage that left me feeling completely rejuvenated. Overall, I can't wait to return for another unforgettable experience!
