Hotel description
Designed around a network of beautiful natural water canals, Fairmont Mayakoba opened in April 2006, taking its place within a luxury community spanning 45 acres. The various areas that make up the resort are connected by a series of lagoons, allowing guests to move easily to and from each part by using the complimentary ‘lanchas’ or covered canal boats. Bicycles, electric golf carts and well-marked nature trails are also available to guests to enable them to move freely through the resort. Made up of traditionally styled buildings, Fairmont Mayakoba is intended to work harmoniously with its environment. Large windows offering beautiful vistas make the resort’s interiors light and airy. Extensive facilities are available to guests, including four swimming pools, one of which enjoys superb views over the lagoons, and four restaurants. The Willow Stream Spa includes a couples’ suite uniquely positioned in the treetops, making for an unforgettable experience. Though nestled in the forest, the resort has its own private beach and offers reef diving on the Great Mayan Reef. Guest rooms have been decorated in an elegant Mexican style with dark wood and earthy tones, and a large balcony or terrace allows further enjoyment of the environment. Perfect for experiencing both the superb forests and beaches of the area.
