This was my second visit to Fairmont Mayakoba, and what a magical place to stay! Multiple pools, restaurants, bars, all amazing. The place is immaculate and gorgeous! The staff are wonderful. Shout out to Moises at the boat launch, Hezer our sailing/catamaran guide, Jonathan from the bird watching tour, Dorian from the tequila tasting class, Karen the concierge(answered so many questions and booked activities for us), Nicolas our beach server, Brian from art and wax painting class, Arnoldo from the mixology class at Cielo, Emmanuel from La cantina, Leonardo our Hix server, Israel at Tauro, and Jesus!!!! our joyful golf cart driver.
