You CAN drink the water –we were informed after 2 days of using bottled water that all of the resort’s water is purified. Makes life easier! Things I wish I had known or remembered: 1. Carry bug spray with you to use on your ankles about an hour before sunset. It does no good sitting in the room-oops! 2. No... more

Clean - cut, modern elegance. I felt like I was walking through a magazine the whole time. I was just delighted by the meandering pool with private nooks. My favorite restaurant was right on the beach with vast unobstructed view of water and their boardwalk. I didn't leave the resort because I really needed to relax and I found that... more

First off there were 11 of us and we had 3 rooms all in the same building. We were very lucky and were in building 11 I think. It is the very 1st building as you walk from the pool/restaurant area. We stayed in the Grand Mayan section. The rooms are very spacious, modern & clean. There is a dipping... more

We had a great time. The hotel is beautiful, very relaxing, amazing huge pool. People are extremely nice. The place is beautiful. more

If you like traveling to a foreign country and then separating yourself from anything that might identify said country as foreign, I suppose this place is for you. Also, if you like overpriced, unappealing, and again, inauthentic food, then this is also the place for you. I'm being fairly negative here, so I guess I should say that the pools... more

Flight – We flew out of LAX on Sept 13, 2009. Flight was fine, nothing too exciting. We flew on Mexicana Airlines. They were on time, served good food & kept the cocktails coming. All at to additional cost! They really know how to treat their customers. US airlines should take note. I would definitely use Mexicana again. At the... more

I was very anxious prior to staying at Mayan Palace, because of the reviews that were given in the past. I went with 7 of my girlfriends, ages 25-59 (wide range) and we all had a wonderful time here. We got an extremely good deal for the week ($79/each for 1 week) and we had a 2 bedroom suite in... more

This hotel exceeding my expectations, I would definitely recommend staying here. The rooms were a good size and the decor was up to date. The restaurants offered at the resort were very nice and the food was good. To put your mind at ease from reading past comments about the walk to the pool, it's not as bad as you... more

The Mayan Palace is a vaction ownership property with a golf course, entertainment on site & a variety of food choices. The pool area is very nice but many people have a tendency to keep the cabanas all day. The spa is very nice but is extra as is some of the entertainment. Overall it is a very nice place.... more
