Luxury Mayakoba Holidays

A peaceful oasis in Mexico

Mayakoba

Holidays in Mayakoba transport you to a luxurious resort on the beautiful Caribbean coast of Mexico. The Mayakoba resort is home to four hotels and guests can use the amenities at each of the hotels in the complex. A real success for flora and fauna, the area was home to just 1,000 species 15 years ago; today it’s home to over 4,000 species of birds and wildlife. We recommend you take the boat tour with guide that takes you around the whole resort.

Mayakoba offers a whole range of activities and amenities for guests looking for relaxing, indulgent holiday experiences. The accommodation options range from beachfront properties to chic and modern hotel rooms set amidst the lush mangroves and greenery. Guests can also enjoy world-class dining options at each of the hotels featuring Mexican delights and international flavours.

There is a number of outdoor activities including snorkelling, watersports as well as an 18-hole golf course, perfect for practicing your swing. Wildlife protection is very important here and there’s no better feeling than being immersed in nature. The whole resort is a peaceful oasis offering a tranquil stay to families, couples and groups of friends.

When to go

Mexico is a year-round beach destination, with temperatures rarely dipping below 20°C – even in winter. The summer months are at their hottest between May and September, which have average temperatures of 28°C. While short rain showers are possible, they are helpful in taking the edge off the heat.

Visa Information

UK citizens travelling to Mexico do not currently require a visa. You will need to fill out a tourist card, which you will be provided with on arrival.

Tipping

Mexico has a tipping etiquette similar to the USA. Service employees typically receive little or no base salary, so tips make up the bulk of their salary. Try to tip about 15% of the bill in restaurants and bars unless the bill includes propina (gratuity). Taxi drivers do not usually get tipped unless they have provided an extra service like loading or unloading your bags.

Introduction to languages

The official language of Mexico is Spanish. English is widely spoken too, so getting by is easy.
