The resort also has private butler service, so guests have access to 24-hour help in arranging private dining, unpacking help, or booking local tours. Based on the overwhelmingly positive guest reviews, this resort provides excellent service and offers good value in the 5-star category near Cancun.
The Rosewood Mayakoba Resort is located just north of Playa del Carmen, along the Riveria Maya, about 42 miles south of Cancun in Mexico.

To reach the Rosewood Mayakoba Resort you will fly into Cancun International Airport. From there you can arrange for a taxi, shuttle, or car rental, or you can pre-arrange resort-chauffeured transportion from the hotel in advance. The drive is about 42 miles (70 kilometers) and will take about an hour.
Reviews for the Rosewood Mayakoba Resort are excellent, and it’s among the highest rated resorts in the Cancun/Maya Riviera region. Virtually every review is 5 stars out of 5, with most guests praising the large size of the overwater suites (as well as the other rooms) and the private plunge pools and their temperature control.
This resort does well at providing a paradise feeling for its guests, and the staff and service are extremely attentive based on their track record. A small number of guests mention that the spa or restaurants are more expensive than they expected, but for one of the top rated 5-star resorts in Mexico, it’s not surprising that they aren’t cheap.
