Enhance Your Stay at MayanPalace
The turquoise waters of the Caribbean, its archeological zones, natural parks and restaurants are more than sufficient to enable you to enjoy the hottest parts of Quintana Roo. Nevertheless, you can experience the Riviera Maya during your vacations without ever leaving the MayanPalace.
As the main aim at MayanPalace is to help you leave behind any worries, forget about cash: here your signature is valid at all times. Whether you buy a bottle of water or pay for a session in the cyber café, rent a kayak or order your favorite dish in any of our restaurants, the custom is to charge it to your room so that you feel safer and more comfortable during your stay.
With sandals on and your sunglasses at hand, select an activity at MayanPalace that you like the most. If you want to learn to play golf and better still, do so with your kids, sign-up for no-cost classes that are offered from 9 a.m. in the 54-par, 18-hole golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus. Make a reservation, pay for the practice basket, (clubs and balls) and you’ll be on the fairway practicing your first swings. And talking of kids, MayanPalace offers a complete program of activities through its Kids Club, where diverse outdoor activities are available from 9 a.m. until sunset. Children between the ages of 5 and 12 carry out an array of pastimes, making paper flowers, bracelets, and necklaces, picture frames and cards, as well as participating in drawing competitions, stilt races and fights with water-filled balloons. They hunt treasure, bowl and, after the sun goes down (if not already exhausted) they can sit back and enjoy animated films shown daily. The activities are free of charge; if you want to spend the day away from the resort and leave your child at the Kids Club, you can request the services of a baby sitter at extra charge.
For adults in MayanPalace Resorts, the options are equally diverse, so time will be insufficient to do everything. If you’re a fan of water sports you can play water polo or volleyball, participate in water aerobics, rent snorkel equipment or paddle a kayak though crystal-clear Caribbean waters. For athletes the choice of activities is equally diverse. The golf course at MayanPalace is exceptional, with its white-sand bunkers, lakes surrounded by natural rocks and intense green fairways. The tennis courts, open from 7 a.m. till 8 p.m., allow you to take individual or group classes, participate in doubles, singles and mixed tournaments or send your children to tennis classes.
If you wish to experience the resort in a less conventional was, sign up for the bicycle rides that are held twice a day free of charge. Guided by a staff member, you can visit pool where crocodiles are kept, supervised by the resort’s own biologist, as well as tour other areas of the resort.
If you are inclined to quiet contemplation, at MayanPalace you’ll also find activities that help maintain a balance between body and spirit. Brio, the resort’s spa, is open daily from 6:30 a.m. till 9 p.m. Located next to the beach, it’s a relaxing space offering massage, body and facial treatments and delicious wraps. If you want to complement the experience you can have a snack at the Health Bar located on the spa’s first floor, take yoga or pilates classes, which are offered at an extra charge in the gymnasium at MayanPalace, or relax with the murmur of waves at meditation sessions held in a palapa on the beach. And if total relaxation is your favorite activity, head for the pool area, choose a chaise lounge and enjoy more than 300-meters of interconnected pools.
At night activities continue. There’s black jack, karaoke, a casino and theme shows. Don’t miss Mexican Night, which features special dishes from our kitchen as well as dances and traditions from all over the country.
