5 things that make Rosewood Mayakoba truly special
The arrival is pure magic: From the moment you enter, you’re surrounded by lagoons, jungle, and calm that instantly makes you exhale and slow down. The check-in is done by boat, you get to your suite through the lagoons, and you get to enjoy the ride while seeing the various animals that live around the property.
Luxury that still feels warm and relaxed: Beautiful suites, private plunge pools, and private butlers make a big difference. They make the whole family feel special, from the embroidered pillowcases with each family’s member's name on them, to the kid-sized robes and slippers, to the little Mexican toys for the babies. They truly think of everything.

Genuinely family-friendly: Thoughtful kids’ activities, plenty of space to explore, and kids under 5 eat free, which makes traveling with little ones so much easier.

Kosher food options available: They have a whole kosher kitchen section and are able to accommodate with advance request.
Something for everyone: Whether it’s the spa, golf, beach time, or just biking through the property, it’s one of those rare resorts where adults and kids are equally happy.
