Two hundred and fourteen rooms in the Mayakoba complex. The polished modern-design Riviera Maya answer at a more accessible rate ceiling than Rosewood or Belmond.
"214 rooms in the Mayakoba complex. The polished modern-design Riviera Maya answer at a more accessible rate ceiling."
Andaz Mayakoba opened in November 2017 within the Mayakoba complex as the most accessibly-priced of the four Mayakoba luxury hotels (Rosewood, Banyan Tree, Andaz, Fairmont share the integrated complex), with 214 rooms and suites distributed across multiple buildings between the mangrove lagoons and the Caribbean beach. The architecture (by Mexican firm Sordo Madaleno, the same firm behind Banyan Tree Mayakoba) is contemporary Mexican-modern with the integrated tropical-landscape approach that the complex requires.
The 214 accommodations split between Resort Rooms (the entry-level, with garden views), Beachfront Suites (with direct Caribbean access), Lagoon Suites (built on the mangrove-lagoon system), and the multi-bedroom Andaz Suites and Casa Andaz villas. The Andaz House — a four-bedroom standalone villa with private pool, kitchen, and butler service — is the property's flagship single accommodation. The interiors by Sordo Madaleno are warm contemporary Mexican.
The grounds — the property's Mayakoba allocation includes its own lagoon, three swimming pools, the spa, the kids' Camp Andaz, the multi-restaurant complex, and access to the wider Mayakoba amenities (golf course, multi-hotel shared facilities) — make Andaz one of the more comprehensively-equipped accessibly-priced Riviera Maya luxury options. The Naum Wellness & Spa is among the larger luxury hotel spas in the area.
Dining is at four main restaurants and bars. Cocina Milagro is the headline modern Mexican. Sotavento is the seafood. Olla Taquería is the Mexican-traditional. The Cantina is the cocktail-and-tequila bar. The wine programme is comprehensive. Service is the consistent Andaz lifestyle-luxury standard with the Andaz Host system. Andaz Mayakoba is the polished mid-luxury Riviera Maya answer for travellers who want the integrated Mayakoba complex amenities at a rate ceiling that books a longer stay than Rosewood Mayakoba.
The Riviera Maya honeymoon for couples who want the Mayakoba complex amenities and polished modern luxury at a more accessible rate. Book a Beachfront Suite or a Lagoon Suite. The Cocina Milagro dinner; access to the Camaleón golf course; the spa programme. The honeymoon at Andaz is the value-luxury Riviera Maya answer.
The Camp Andaz children's programme, the multi-bedroom Andaz Suites, and the integrated Mayakoba complex's golf-and-multi-pool-and-multi-restaurant scale make Andaz one of the better family-luxury Riviera Maya options. The combination of resort amenities and accessible pricing works for multi-generational trips.
For anniversaries the Casa Andaz villa or two adjacent suites work well. The property's modern-design setting, the Mayakoba complex's amenity depth, and the Andaz lifestyle-luxury approach combine into a polished mid-tier anniversary stay.
