The hotel was in construction and we were not told about this when we booked it. It was inconvenient since there were workers all around the property, one day we even had walk around toilets that were on the side of the road from the renovation of other villas. The food was VERY expensive and I do not believe it was good enough for the price... I mean, there was not one single meal that was under 100 dollars and the value was no 100 dollars. The restaurant that was supposed to be wonderful - Zafron - served us squid that was gummy and they did not even have the lychee ice cream. Honestly, the food was a let down. The last night we went to Casa de Lago in the Rosewood Hotel next door... wow. There was no restaurant in the entire Banyan hotel that was wow, I feel they need to work on their food and their restaurants, all areas of the hotel feel like they are hallways to another area, and restaurants have no personality. Also, we went to the pool, and for instance, there were glasses left on the side of the pool that were not picked up by the waiters. The service of the people of the front desk was very good, and overall all workers were kind and very helpful. Our villa smelled like sewage. There was a problem with the bathroom and it smelled like sewage all the time we stayed there. That was a complete let down. They tried masking it with other smells, but it was very disappointing. If you want to stay at Mayakoba, I would recommend you go to Rosewood instead.

Property was unique, however restaurant food wasn’t great. Breakfast was less than 3 star quality and very over priced. Customer service was terrible and maintenance in the villas was horrendous. Our showers and bathrooms upstairs and downstairs all stopped working and there were major leaks throughout the villas. Housekeeping would see it as well. The manger’s didn’t say anything to us until we complained finally. The manager offered a room to shower and use bathroom in that was also not suitable but we got to at least shower and brush our teeth. We had 3 young children with us as well. We would never recommend or stay here again. We spent a total of 20k from bill to the food and drink costs for only 4 days. Only for them to accommodate one night free and breakfast.

Excellent hotel. It is the best resort we have ever visited. The only downside was that the communication between the contact person or concierge and the restaurant was not good enough. We had to confirm 5 times regarding one easy thing, and the restaurant still did not receive what we ordered. However, we would still want to come back soon.
