Absolutely stunning, as always, at this property. Impeccably clean, every attention to detail was made, the staff is wonderful and friendly, and they provided an upgrade based on availability without even asking. This is the 4th time I’ve stayed at the Property and I will continue to return, by far my favorite resort in the Riviera Maya area!
Our check-in day hotel manager and our dedicated support staff went out their ways to accommodate us after unexpected hiccups of our first night stay. Starting from our second day of stay, our experience started turning around and reached one of our best overall luxury hotel experience toward the end of our 5 day stay mostly because of the friendliness and attentiveness of every hotel staff we have encountered. The beach club and kids center, swimming pool and the private beach, all highlights of the stay. An expensive vacation on slippery slope at the start saved by tireless human effort and great services culture. Our kids loved the experience!
My favorite thing, aside from how beautiful the property is, is the absolute KINDEST staff I’ve ever experienced. They were all so genuine, helpful and sweet. They give you undivided attention with every conversation and make sure you are as comfortable as possible. The staff here is truly incredible.
Igor and Rafael and the entire Banyan Tree staff went out of their way to make sure we had a great trip despite some unforeseen issues with the renovations of our room. The management went above and beyond to save our stay and keep us and our entire group together even though some of us had to be relocated. Igor could give a masterclass in great hospitality.
Note for anyone considering staying here- it was challenging to get in touch with the hotel until we got onsite. It’s a pretty massive property and not walkable. 10 minute Golf carts ride and 20 minute bike rides are the only way to get around from rooms to restaurants to beach. Thank you to the Banyan Tree staff.
This was the most beautiful property I’ve ever stayed at. The villas were beautiful with a private pool, cabanas, & outdoor bath. We loved having our bikes right outside our villa to bike to the beach. The food and service was incredible.
The property is an amazing mix of beach and the tropical lagoons. There is a great nature trail the goes around Mayakoba and is excellent for walking and cycling.
Overall this property didn’t live up to the expectations. The housekeeping services were 10/10, the villa was relaxing but everything else was overrated. Would not recommend honestly- a lot more better options at this price point.
We loved banyan tree! The villas are so nice and private. The staff goes above and beyond! Loved eating at saffron on our last night but all the food was amazing!
First class service throughout
Amazing property to cycle around and experience the different areas. Sands superb.
If it had a nice coffee shop it would be another level.
Amazing property , beautiful surroundings and attentive staff. This resort feels very quiet and remote - perfect for a relaxing vacation. Food is absolutely amazing - .especially Saffron. Highly recommend
The staff and concierges were super helpful with anything we needed throughout the trip! The resort allowed for a lot of privacy in our villa and allowed us to truly relax. They even spoiled us with an upgrade to help us celebrate our 20th anniversary and baby moon! Only thing I would add is a good coffee shop!
