"Set amid the verdant mangroves and emerald canals of the Mayakoba complex, the 401-key property feels, in one reader’s words, like a "magical place." The lushness of the jungle is incredible, with suites nestled along pathways through vibrant greenery and water everywhere—from lagoons and canals to streams and the ocean. Pools are huge with plenty of lounges and well-stocked cabanas, and the crowning glory is the service: staff are eager to please and will go out of their way to help in any way." - Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning is the special projects and surveys editor at Travel + Leisure, where she has been on staff since 2018.
