Since 2006, the hotel has been serving guests to provide the best luxury service, and since its recent renovation, its efforts have paid off, especially considering that Cancun has other amazing luxury resorts.

Fairmont Mayakoba has gone through a multimillion-dollar renovation that started in 2021 and continued through 2022. This upgrade has paid off with this international recognition. The “embellishment process” included common areas, restaurants and bars, and 80% of the room inventory.
