Sands Beach Club At Banyan Tree Mayakoa

This is truly a hidden gem! We literally planned (Thursday afternoon) a weekend getaway (Friday-Sunday) at this amazing resort! From the minute you arrive you drive onto the most beautiful property and then are greeted with such warm hospitality at an absolutely stunning sanctuary. A still water circular pool marking a hidden cenote is filled with black sand and stones tossed in as wishes/offerings of guests to honor the Mayan culture. It is open to the sky above and I was overcome with emotion and it was very peaceful. From there we were given a traditional drink of hibiscus water and tequila (other things too but those are the only ones I remember) and taken on a tour of the property. Absolutely breathtaking. The property is perfectly laid out and every single person we encountered employed by the resort displayed true hearts of service. The beach area was so clean with fresh, soft, white sand. Chairs and service was impeccable. The pools are surrounded by lively music and lights after dark. The boat tour of the lagoon was so informative and you can tell caring about the land and nature is top priority even though it was all man made beauty. The wildlife species are bountiful! We didn't get to see the crocodiles and their new babies but I'm sure they were resting in some shade. Food from the restaurants and room service was delicious! And our room.... WOW! Everything was top notch! Incredibly spacious, efficient, cool from the summer heat, and included anything and everything you could want. Even bug spray for the mosquitoes! We had a private balcony pool that we enjoyed VERY much! We were hoping to see some spider monkeys on the lagoon island but they were shy. Our boat captain, Noah, did show us a video of one walking on the property and I've never laughed so hard at a monkey before! It was hysterical! If I could give this place a 10 I would. It was too short of a stay but we will definitely be back AND be telling our friends!

The absolute friendliest and accomodating staff of anywhere I have ever vacationed! The service was fantastic and the rooms and ammenities were perfectly clean and pristine. This is definitely a 5-star hotel/resort and I would highly recommend! :
