Cenotes
Recreation
Cenotes have became one of most important attractions of this young area. Cenotes are naturally occurring wells and surface extensions of the subterranean rivers that course through the Yucatan Peninsula's limestone layers and flow towards the sea. They were holy for ancient Mayas who built important cities around them. They are very common throughout the Riviera Maya,and it is a unique experience to go swimming, diving or exploring them.

Tropical beaches, ancient ruins, abundant marine and wildlife abound. The Great Mayan Reef is the largest coral reef in the Western Hemisphere. Mexicans refer to the Riviera as "Riviera Maya" while foreigners call it the "Mayan Riviera" or "Maya Riviera". Located in the highway 307 along the coast in Quintana Roo you are pretty well in the Mayan Riviera. This highway runs from Cancun all the way down to Belize. The Mayan Riviera ends after Tulum, where the Costa Maya begins. Playa del Carmen town is considered the heart of the equally-booming Riviera Maya just 68 km ( 42 miles) south of Cancun resort, offers with its warm 5th Avenue, a pedestrian walkway set with its relaxed, laid-back atmosphere keeps the bohemian laid-back ambiance that makes it so irresistible. It is safe to say that Playa del Carmen´s appeal can reach out to just about anyone who is seeking to enjoy a one of a kind vacation. Playa del Carmen also counts with many commercial areas, which include traditional artesian stores and Mexican flea markets, besides the surrounding archeological sites like Tulum and Chichen Itza; and the ecological parks like Xcaret, Xelha, Tankah, Aktun Chen, Sian Ka ´an and the less populated spots like Punta Bete, Xcalacoco, Paamul, Xpu-Há and Tulum Downtown are better known for their rustic and more informal atmosphere.

TESTIMONIALS Here is what some of our previous customers think about their group experience us. Find them all in Trip Advisor. VIP Group at Banyan Tree Posted on Jan 2020 by E957GDcarolinem "I just hosted a VIP group at the Banyan Tree for 10 days. We travel all around the world for this event and I have never had the pleasure of working with such an incredible team as I did here. Our Event Coordinator was Marine and she went above and beyond to make sure that every last detail was attended to. She was here for our early morning meetings and late evening events, always willing to step in to assist. From the meeting facilities, spa, world-class dining and catering that was provided to us throughout our stay (Thank you Chefs Alfonso and Jerry), even the incredible housekeeping and bellmen teams, there wasn't a single staff member who didn't display their passion for genuine service. We are so thankful for all that this team did to make us look good to our clients. We would certainly love to return again in the future!" Wow, wow, wow, and yes wow Posted on Dec 2019 by G4UET "This was a group trip, a prize for top performance and hard work. This hotel is exceptional, the staff are friendly and attentive above and beyond and I could not recommend it highly enough. The Breakfast is THE BEST selection and quality I have EVER had in over 40 years of travelling, the rooms are luxurious and relaxing, with all the facilities you would expect from a 5* Hotel. Electric buggies are available to transport you around the complex, and each villa has a bicycle for every guest so you can cycle around too. Highly recommended is the cookery course you can do at El Pueblito, a small village square within Mayakoba Resort, I have posted a review on my blog for this wonderful experience with the lovely Chef Karla. You can add the cost to your hotel bill. There were lots of facilities I did not get a chance to try as our group was out and about but this is one hotel I would love to come back to." ILTM Americas Posted on Sept 2019 by 900agonzalez "The best hotel to be in Mayakoba. Wonderful location, excellent installations, perfect service. All about luxury travel is in this complex located in the Mexican Caribbean. I will recommend it for C&I, leisure and business travel. It is a MUST in the Riviera Maya!"
