Agent Tips

  • Don't miss the eco-tour for a journey through the resort’s winding natural lagoons. You'll get a close-up look at Mayakoba’s beautiful flora and fauna, as well as abundant wildlife including turtles, alligators, birds, and more.
  • Visit El Pueblito, Mayakoba’s own traditional Mexican town square, complete with a beautiful church, restaurants, arcade, boutiques, candy shops, and more. We recommend lunch at La Fondita’s, Rosewood’s famed tostada outpost at El Pueblito, followed by some sweet treats at Pan Dulce.
  • Head to the beach and plan a stop at La Cantina, a retrofitted vintage food truck. Try their famed cocktail, “El Ponche de la Casa,” made with Charanda (Mexican rum), citrus, and Ancho Reyes (a spicy liqueur made from chile peppers) – a perfect beachside sip and explosion of Mexican flavors!
