About the property

What makes Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya worth the points.

Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya is a Hyatt Andaz-branded beachfront resort set inside Mayakoba, a 600-acre private gated community on Mexico’s Riviera Maya just north of Playa del Carmen. The resort combines mangrove forest, freshwater canals, lagoon views, and Caribbean beachfront, giving it a secluded eco-resort feel while remaining close enough for visits into town. The property has 214 rooms and suites in low-rise buildings placed along lagoon, mangrove, and beachfront areas. Its design leans contemporary and locally expressive, with Mexican art, color, open views, and landscaping that emphasizes waterways and native vegetation. Resort life centers on the beach, multiple outdoor pools, Naum Wellness & Spa, the fitness center, bikes, boat rides, and a broad activity roster that can include snorkeling, diving, canoeing, windsurfing, tennis, archery, walking tours, bike tours, and water sports. Families are also well served with a kids’ club and evening entertainment or live music. Dining is varied for a resort of this style, with Casa Amate for destination-style Latin American dinners, Cocina Milagro for breakfast and all-day meals, Sotavento by the beach, Tinta del Pulpo for casual Mexican and grill fare, and a plant-based Vegan Bar. Guests also benefit from being inside the wider Mayakoba complex, where the golf course, canals, nature trails, and neighboring luxury resorts add to the sense of a larger resort village.

Dining & club lounge

Where to eat, and where to unwind.

Casa Amate
Latin American and regional Mexican

Casa Amate is the resort’s dinner-focused signature restaurant, set in a residential, house-like environment. It is best suited to a more polished evening meal or special-occasion dinner on property.

Cocina Milagro
International and Mexican

Cocina Milagro is the all-day restaurant and the main breakfast venue, offering buffet and à la carte formats. Breakfast options noted for the resort include continental, American, gluten-free, buffet, and à la carte choices.

Sotavento
Mediterranean and seafood-focused

Sotavento is a beachfront restaurant and bar by the main pool and beach area. It works well for lunch, seaside drinks, and relaxed dinners near the water.

Tinta del Pulpo
Mexican and grill

Tinta del Pulpo is a casual venue for tacos, ceviches, grilled favorites, and drinks. Its informal setting makes it a practical choice for families and easy pool or beach meals.

Vegan Bar
Plant-based

VB is the resort’s vegan and health-oriented outlet, serving plant-based dishes, bowls, and juices. It adds a lighter dining option near the beach and pool side of the resort.

When to go

Time it by season, not by luck.

Winter and early spring are popular for Riviera Maya beach weather, with warm days and a drier feel than the summer rainy season.
Summer can be humid and wetter, but it also suits travelers who want warm sea conditions and a resort-focused stay.
Late summer and fall can bring more tropical rain risk in the Caribbean, so build flexibility into beach and water-activity plans.
Holiday periods and school breaks are likely to feel busier because the resort is well set up for both families and couples.
Fine print
  • · The resort is spread across lagoon, mangrove, and beachfront zones, so some rooms are farther from the beach than others.
  • · Mayakoba feels secluded by design; trips into Playa del Carmen generally require a car, taxi, or arranged transportation.
  • · Room views vary meaningfully by category, with some facing mangroves or canals rather than the ocean.
  • · Guests should not book expecting a traditional club lounge or executive floor.
