"This was our first trip as a family out of the country since COVID-19. We had some concerns, especially with two children (aged 7 and 9) but after reading others experiences we decided to go for it. Simply put, the Fairmont Mayakoba was an incredible experience. From the moment we showed up at the airport we felt incredibly safe and well protected. From the time you enter the resort to each meal, you are getting your temperature checked. It put us at ease to know they were taking precautions so seriously. The food and drive is divine and never disappointed. Each meal was a 5 star experience. We could either stick with more 'traditional' fare, our try more local dishes depending on our preference. Drinks of course were also on par with our expectations. Service was outstanding and literally every person at the resort is always smiling and/or saying 'hello'. They have truly created a welcoming culture which is hard to find these days. The one downside is that the unexpectedly closed La Laguna and the main pool on the second day we were there. This restaurant was one of our favorites from our first trip to Mayakoba and wished they had communicated this is advance. We left right before they were about to take down Brisas restaurant. Apparently they are giving the entire resort a facelift over the next 2 years. They said they will still have beachfront dining options, but I am not sure what that will look like so suggest checking with the resort in advance."

"The property was just OK, disappointed in no breakfast room service and limited amount of restaurants open. Was not greeted with a drink or even water upon arrival and line was very long to check-in. Mini bar in fridge was 1 water and 2 sodas... very underwhelming experience. Everything is very spread out."

"The kids club Starcamp is excellent. Kept our 11 year old entertained from 10 am to 8:30 pm, with tons of activities. We hardly saw him this entire week. It was good for him to spend that much time with other kids after a year of limited social interaction. The coaches are extremely nice and patient with all children. Very inclusive."

"Spent 5 nights at the Iberostar Paraiso in late February. Despite COVID, there was plenty to do around the resort and we felt safe the entire time! The beach is beautiful and very well maintained. They were raking and removing seaweed on a daily basis so it was always spotless. There were multiple pool areas, so we never had an issue finding chairs or a great spot. I have stayed a a few resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean and this had the best food! The dinner buffet was what you would expect but lunch and breakfast were excellent and the restaurants were fantastic. Unfortunately, not many were open due to COVID, we wish we could have tried the French or Mediterranean restaurants during our stay. Overall - service was amazing (only downside was checking in and out where they were very slow and understaffed). Big shout out to Irma, one of the servers for breakfast and lunch - we ended up asking to be sat with her everyday because she was such a delight! She remembered all of our names and would make sure we were well cared for. She should train new employees because she has that perfect balance of being attentive and cheerful but also very efficient and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to this resort again even for a short trip since it is a easy 30 min drive from the airport."

"We love the fact it was a smaller boutique style hotel. It was private with several amenities that were desired. The rooms were absolutely massive and amazing. The pool was perfect with amazing staff (Tony). He went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our time there. Breakfast and bar had the picturesque views. Disliked the fact it was down a side road and around a few other hotels. We were lost the first time trying to find it. Parts of the hotel were falling apart and are being upgraded/repaired. Visually can be an eye sore if you fixate on them. We felt the mixed drinks were a bit lacking of decent alcohol, but when asked for more alcohol, they accommodated. Overall, I see why it’s a 4 star hotel. It has most of the things one would want and still needs a few more improvements to be perfect."

"This place is Heaven on Earth! Our original trip was supposed to be for 5 days and we had to extend 4 more day (awww poor us LOL) due to bad weather at DFW (worst ice/snow storm to hit DFW in 72 years). We had room 818 beautiful! We had a private pool and our own Butler David just moments from the beach bar and beach. When we had to extend we got room 909 right on the beach! No pool but did I mention right on the beach! Our service was spectacular, everybody was so friendly and helpful and bilingual, every little thing we needed we taken care of. Everybody who works there is genuinely happy and happy to serve! So different than in America. We saw Talum, We went to a Cenote, Every where we went people were so friendly! The views were breath taking. We had the on site photographer take our pictures on the beach and they turned out beautiful! We met the nicest people from all over the US staying there and everybody was so chill and just eager to speak to one another! I could go on and on about how clean and beautiful the resort was, but I think you get the idea. Everything we dreamt of and so much more! This trip was a very special celebration of our anniversary and the honeymoon we never had because I got Cancer right after we got married so this was our anniversary, honeymoon and I beat Cancer trip all in one and it couldn't have been any more perfecto!"

"This place is nice but you can tell it's lacking on upkeep/maintence. I am not sure if it's because of the pandemic or what. We enjoyed our stay, food & staff were great. There are many areas of the grounds that have been neglected for sure! Overall we had a nice stay, not sure we would be back though."
