Rosewood Mayakoba

The Rosewood Mayakoba is so breathtaking, so beautiful, and so magical that it is hard to know where to begin a review. It is an expensive splurge that is so worth it we began discussing when we could return almost as soon as we arrived. Set around an ancient system of shimmering lagoons that wind their way towards mangroves and the Caribbean, the rooms are private, peaceful, and exquisitely appointed. We didn't leave our room the first day . There are a variety of dining options- including many different set dinners on different days- and we didn't quite get the hang of it so be sure to ask. Every meal was delicious. Pumpkin seed crusted ribeye on the beach, shrimp tacos, huevos rancheros - it was all amazing.  This property and the staff here are really doing something right. We just came from the Rosewood Baha Mar where we felt completely ripped off. Interestingly, the prices are not dissimilar here, but there are so many extras (bottle of mezcal and accoutrement waiting for us in the room), flourishes (complimentary fresh pressed juice in the mornings), and nice touches (luxurious after sun balm placed in the bathroom one afternoon) that it feels completely different.  If you need to recharge, escape, luxuriate, or even just remember what it's like to wake up to the sound of birds, you won't regret your stay here. There's a reason that so many other guests we encountered were returning for their 4th, 5th, or even 10th trip. Thank you to the staff for making us feel so warmly welcomed and for taking exquisite care of us. We'll be back. 

We just returned after spending the most amazing week at the Rosewood Mayakoba. Our trip was split between 3 days in a gorgeous lagoon suite and then 4 days celebrating my 60th birthday in the Founder’s Villa. From the moment we arrived, the level of service was unsurpassed. Every single person we encountered went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and special. From the room to the pool to the restaurants -everything was fantastic! The Founder’s Villa then took experience from fantastic to above perfection. We entertained our group every day and night and I cannot express my gratitude enough to thank everyone who made my birthday a memory never to be forgotten. This was our first time at this resort and we cannot wait until we return! Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts❤️❤️

The setting and the staff are what brought us back to Rosewood Mayakoba. We had an incredible New Year’s weekend. La Ceiba, the parade, the fireworks and the band on NYE were delightful. The spa and nearby wellness suites are great combination for a relaxing, private experience.
