Hi Jammy,

 

I'm a noob too and looking into the Banyan Tree as well. Looks like there are other threads on the Fairmont Mayakoba, but nothing on the Banyan Tree. If I find anything, I will post here. Good luck to both of us! When are you thinking of getting married? I'm thinking Dec 2010 for mine.

any more info on the banyan tree? Or other resorts in the Mayakoba complex? ) Really thinking about one of them!

Hi - I was originally looking at the Banyan tree and went on a site visit. The location is absolutely amazing!!! if I did not have so many people this is where we would have ended up.

Hm.... lots of people... That is the problem for us too! )

What we're really hoping to do is book a block of rooms at the Fairmont Mayakoba, and then stay at one of the other Mayakoba resorts ourselves (a little bit of distance!) and then have the ceremony where we stay as well?

Did the Banyan Tree require a certain room block to have a wedding there, do you remember?

We're doing a site visit in a month or so, so I plan on visiting!

Not sure if you booked yet, but I am a Rosewood bride! It is where we got engaged so wanted to go back and get married there!

booking a roon block at Fairmont and for the majority and do your wedding either at Rosewood or Banyan Tree is a great solution.

 

Bnayan Tree is relaly nice but they are a bite new and have not done too many wedidngs yet - hopefully this year they will have a few more and they will be a bite more "traiend".

 

Rosewood: beautiful - we have created amazing setting on the beach ot by the lagoon

i got married at the banyan tree mayakoba on december 4, 2010.  it was the wedding of my dreams.  michele salazar (the experience concierge/wedding planner) was A MAZ ING!!!!!!  I was nervous because i booked the wedding before i'd even been there.  i'd emailed with michele a lot and spoken to her on the phone probably 3 times.  the wedding was better than i hoped and she took care of EVERYTHING.  the whole mayakoba complex is gorgeous, but the banyan tree is beyond, beyond, beyond...  feel free to message me if you have specific questions.

hi guys! 

 

just to post a little more information to keep this thread alive, i wanted to share my experience at this hotel.  we were not married here, but after our wedding in playa del carmen, my husband and i spent a few nights at mayakoba as a mini-honeymoon and it was AMAZING.  we booked the room through jetsetter.com and got a great deal...an enormous pool villa, completely private, all to ourselves.  everything about this place is gorgeous.  looking back, if we had had a smaller group, this would have absolutely been the choice for our wedding.

 

the staff, service and food were all excellent!  even if you're not having your wedding here, it's a great place to consider for a few quiet days before the re-entry into real life!
