In February 2009, Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts debuted its first North American property and the only all–pool villa resort on Mexico's Riviera Maya. Based in Singapore, the company operates nearly two dozen resorts in the Asia-Pacific region, all renowned for their service, jewel-like design, holistic spas, and devotion to the environment.
The Banyan Tree Mayakoba combines its company's sensual sophistication and Asian sensibility with a laid-back appeal in keeping with the Mayan character of the Mayakoba development. The resort shares Mayakoba's water-laced, eco-sensitive environs with four leading hotel brands and El Camaleón, home of Mexico's first PGA tour event.
Built beside the water, each of 132 freestanding villas provides a terrace, sun deck, and swimming pool for lazing under the Caribbean sun and stars. While all have up to three bedrooms and the latest amenities, some have outdoor jet pools or sunken baths, massage beds, and steam rooms.
Banyan Tree's legendary spa concept contributed 16 private treatment pavilions and an array of Asian-inspired hydrotherapies. Restaurants range from exquisite Thai cuisine at Saffron and eclectic cuisine at Tamarind to international favorites at Oriente and light refreshments at the main pool and Beach Club. For incentive and executive retreats, a ballroom and meeting rooms host sessions for 10 to 180 delegates. For memory-making celebrations, the themes range from Evoke the Asian Soul to Mystic Expressions of the Mayan World.

As expected, Banyan Tree Mayakoba is a showcase. This a unique, first-class resort not to be missed.

I was lucky enough to participate in a familiarization trip to experience this amazing hotel in October of 2009. Upon arrival we were greeted with cold towels and a welcome drink native to the area, escorted to the beautiful villas by golf cart and given a tour by our resort hosts. Each villa has its own private pool and others have outdoor tubs and jacuzzis. Every detail has been thought out and executed down to the bug spray in the rooms and the incense and fresh fruit changed out daily. The breakfast buffet was extravagant and delicious! Saffron, the on-property Thai restaurant is a must. The on-property beach is accessible by boat, golf cart or bicycle and this is where you can find the Sands restaurant which is part of the Beach Club and another dining option. The spa experience is one of a kind and should definitely but utilized by a group or individual visiting this hotel. All in all - definite 5 star property with all of the amenities one would expect. It is very apparent how important service is to this property as well as the Banyan Tree brand. The staff goes above and beyond to make every guest comfortable and make sure every need is met.
