Banyan Tree Central America hotels

"Staff members where extremely helpful and very polite "

"AVA Resort Cancun was a solid 4.5-star resort. Honestly, I was really surprised at how beautiful the property was and how pleasant everything felt. I’ve already booked my next vacation! I traveled with my 11-month-old baby, and overall, everything was great — the food (for adults), the interiors, the atmosphere — it delivers what you’d expect from a Google 5-star resort. That said, here are a few honest cons: 1. Baby food This was tough. Their kids’ meals already contain salt, even when you request no salt. Most meats are pre-marinated, so it was really difficult to feed a baby under one year old. They don’t really offer suitable options for babies who just started solids. 2. Housekeeping This isn’t their strongest area. I noticed signs of previous guests — tape residue on walls (probably from birthday decorations), small spills, hair, etc. The bedding was clean, though. If you’re a clean freak, this might bother you. It is a massive resort with thousands of rooms, so this seems to be where they fall short. 3. Restaurants The nicer restaurants are hard to get into. Sometimes the only available dinner reservations are after 8pm. Walk-ins are often sold out, and having two dinners in one night? Forget it. Room service is available, thankfully. Livo (Mediterranean) was unfortunately disappointing. Veranda (Italian) was surprisingly weak — especially the pasta and pizza. There was one other bad food incident, but management apologized sincerely, so I won’t go into detail. "

"Great service "

"Best hotel I’ve ever stayed that! The service was amazing and the food and drinks were great! I have nothing negative to say about my experience there"

"From the time we checked in to the time we left Staff was Amazing! Down by the pools Gustavo and Ulisis were wonderful and very attentive. You can tell that the staff is very proud of the hotel and are constantly cleaning and maintaining the property. Our room was very clean with a beautiful view of the ocean . Only had a couple of disappointing things the Rui app doesn't give enough information on things that are going on at the resort and the restaurants are not shown at the correct locations. Second unfortunate thing was after waiting for an hour and a half for the steakhouse we were treated to a cold meal. The staff was very busy and friendly no fault of their own. The Buffet was Great with many choices. We absolutely Loved this resort and can’t wait to return. "

"The clean rooms, great air in the room and all staff was friendly."

"The staff was amazing and attentive, the room was very clean and fully stocked with everything needed for the trip. Would definitely book this resort again !!!"

"An amazing stay! I would highly recommend this hotel if you are thinking about visiting Riviera Maya. Staff are super friendly and helpful, they can’t do enough for you and want you to be happy. Comfortable beds and spacious rooms, plenty of towels and mini bar stocked daily. The grounds of this are super special with a host of wildlife living on the premises. This makes for a truly unique experience, you never know what you will see next. Food is good, a wide selection of restaurants and buffets. This was our third time at this resort and we will surely be back!"

"The room was nice and clean, they have shampoo, body wash, conditioner, and body lotion. The service was fast! The drink and food are good! The lobby was beautiful, it had a small beach area so you have to come early if you want a good spot!"
