Fairmont Mayakoba is an architectural masterpiece where nature meets luxury. Guests at the resort can soak in the property’s tropical views, which include beaches and lush forests.
Travel + Leisure has long been one of the big names in the travel industry; the leading magazine has over 4.8 million regular readers. In coming up with a ranking of the country’s top resorts, the magazine asked its readers to rate properties on 10 different criteria, including design, customer service, price-quality ratio, and amenities among others.
Travelers especially praised Fairmont Mayakoba for its stylish architecture, which they found authentic and reflective of true Mexican Caribbean style. Readers also noted the resort’s impressive views of the surrounding nature as well as the excellent, personalized customer service they received during their stay.
Located just 40 minutes from Cancun International Airport and some 20 minutes from Playa del Carmen, a popular resort town, Fairmont Mayakoba is accessible and easy to reach from all corners of the Mexican Caribbean.
The resort is built on 19 hectares right in the heart of the Maya jungle, with lush greenery and plenty of tropical coastline in its vicinity.
