Flight
Mayakoba is located in Riviera Maya, Mexico. The closest airport to fly into is Cancun (CUN), which is a ~40 minute drive away from the resort. Remember to make sure your passport is valid for at least six months past the travel date! Please begin the renewal process well in advance if it is expiring soon.
Hotel
1/8 Update: Our room block with Banyan Tree is now entirely booked. We suggest booking at Fairmont Mayakoba, which has vacancies! ----- Mayakoba is a gated resort community that is comprised of 4 luxury hotels, each hotel has private, 24/7 security. Our wedding events will be held at Banyan Tree Mayakoba. There are a variety of villas available within our block, ranging from 1 to 3 bedrooms - all villas have their own private pool (one of our favorite amenities and why we keep coming back!). Note that our special group rates will apply for reservations made for a minimum of 3-night stays (e.g. Thurs, 3/6 - Sun, 3/9) during the 3/5 - 3/11 time period. Guests of our hotel block are also able to enjoy complimentary use of bicycles, a 10% spa discount, and preferred rates at El Camaleón - a PGA tour championship golf course.
Hotel
1/8 Update: Fairmont and Rosewood hotels currently have vacancy during the wedding weekend. If you have not made hotel arrangements yet, we recommend doing so as soon as possible. The gated Mayakoba property hosts 3 other luxury hotel properties: Andaz, Fairmont, and Rosewood. Guests staying outside of Banyan Tree will have limited day-time access to the resort, excluding attendance of wedding events. However, when staying in Mayakoba, you will not need a car - transportation services are complimentary (golf cart / shuttle or bicycle) between resorts. You can also charge meals from the other three Mayakoba resorts to your room tab. Worth noting: Fairmont offers all-inclusive meal plan options if you prefer this to a European plan.
Travel Note
We have negotiated rates secured with ETransfers for round trip transportation from CUN to Banyan Tree. You can arrange through the link below. Jillian & Brian have also personally booked transfers through Cancun Airport Transportation company many times and have had good experiences. Other options include arranging a car service directly with Banyan Tree closer to check-in (private, yet pricier alternative), or utilizing any other third-party service that you research.
