PB hotel design editorial

Carved from 240 acres of Yucatán jungle, lagoon, and Caribbean beachfront along the Riviera Maya, the Mayakoba estate was conceived as an ecological resort development unlike anything else on the Mexican coast — a place where waterways and mangrove systems were preserved rather than bulldozed. Fairmont Mayakoba, which opened in 2006 as the anchor property of that broader master plan, arranged its 401 guest casitas and suites across low-rise palapas with steep thatched roofs that dissolve into the tree canopy rather than competing with it. The aerial view makes the logic plain: white sand, turquoise water, and palms, with the structures sitting back from the shoreline in a rhythm that preserves the sense of undisturbed coast. The interiors, refreshed in recent years, work through a palette of warm blonde wood, travertine-effect stone floors, linen upholstery, and cane-back occasional chairs — a vocabulary that keeps the rooms feeling closer to a well-appointed hacienda than a resort block. Coffered ceilings with exposed timber beams and slow-turning ceiling fans reinforce the tropical-residential atmosphere, plantation shutters filtering the light much as they would in a colonial Yucatecan house. The open-sided restaurant visible in the images continues the same material thinking outward — dark wood structural frames, woven pendant lights, and natural stone bar fronts giving onto unobstructed sea views — with the lagoon-side infinity pool, clad in local limestone, completing a circuit between jungle, water, and beach.

"Family of 4. Booked through Amex travel, upgraded to 800 room, walkable to the beach. Fine resort with large acreage with golf carts and bikes to ride around. Start your day at gym, followed by coffee with many pastry options at Cafe Maya. Brisas is a fine restaurant on the beach and the presentations is a five star. We enjoyed the dinner at La Laguna (Mexican), Bassano (Italian). We are vegetarians but Tauro was still an experience with our kids loved burger and short rib. The service was amazing n with Butler connected via WhatsApp group. Thanks to Fernando and Venessa, our stay was more easier. Overall highly recommend the experience. Will return back."

"This was our first time in Riviera Maya/Mayakoba and it was one of the best vacations we’ve had. We were one of four families – 16 total. We stayed at the Heritage residence and the unit was exceptional, and comfortably fit 8 of us. It was so great to have a kitchen, living/dining and balconies to hang out between activities and meals. It is a little far to the beach (1.3 miles) but the Fairmont makes it as easy as possible to get there with golf carts that make the rounds at the hotel to pick up and drop off guests. We were fortunate to have butler service which came with the Heritage, and were able to request the golf carts. There were countless gorgeous pools and for this time of year, lounge chairs at the pool and beach were plentiful. The service was outstanding, honestly above and beyond. Alejandro and Agustin were incredibly thoughtful and responsive. We bombarded them with questions, requests for dinner reservations and excursions, and they anticipated our needs and exceeded expectations every time. This sentiment applies to all the staff at Fairmont, from the staff at the front desk, pools, beach, water activities, drivers/boat captain, restaurants, room service, gardeners, etc. – everyone was kind and warm. A shout out to our room attendants – Antonio, Sarai and Doris – who left us sweet notes every day and did an amazing job. Our party did multiple excursions through Mayakoba Experiences (ATV/snorkeling with turtles/cenote, Tulum ruins/cenote, and whale shark snorkeling) and they were incredible. It may be a little more, but having Mayakoba transportation and service was very much worth it. We were taken care of every step of the way and we didn’t have to stress about the details, especially for our large group. We did the all inclusive package, and every single meal was excellent. Always something for everyone. As others noted, make reservations before you get to the hotel, as the tables fill up fast. I can’t think of a single constructive thing to say, the Fairmont sets a very high bar for other hotels now! Can't wait to visit again!!"

"We really enjoyed our stay in one of the beach casitas. The room was gorgeous, the beach was beautiful, and the resort was stunning. A special thank you to our butlers, Fernanda and Javier, who were warm, welcoming, and helped make our stay easy and enjoyable. We had a wonderful trip and would happily return."
