The best thing about the Fairmont Mayakoba is the food. Everything I ate - except the Korean BBQ (which was not Korean in anyway) was amazing, fresh and delicious. The casitas are very cool, especially the canal view. The only thing that is difficult, unless you are staying in the beach area, the time it takes to get there is looonnngggg. Also, sometimes it’s hard to get a cart. We stayed for our 20th Anniversary, they gave us an upgrade from the main building to a casita, but for an anniversary of that caliber, I would have expected a better location. Warning - don’t visit the doctor at the facility, it is expensive and they sent us to Hospiten - which is the biggest scam hospital ever. They tried to charge us $27,000 for a simple surgical procedure that costs $5000 in the US with no insurance. Hospiten also gives estimates on the price of your visit based on where you’re staying. So, if you’re coming from the Fairmont, be ready to pay a huge amount. They also give kickbacks to the hotel, which in my opinion is disgusting.
Another issue unfortunately was our room, there was at least four different issues that we had to address over the week’s stay. However, the property did compensate us by giving us one night free, which I thought was very fair. Overall our stay at the Fairmont in Mayakoba was pretty great and again the food was spectacular.
