Yes, You Can Get An All-Inclusive Package at the Mayakoba…

For those of you who absolutely HAVE to stay at the luxe Mayakoba complex in the Riviera Maya and still want all-inclusive perks, you can get it by booking the Andaz resort within the complex.  The entire Mayakoba complex is located 25-min. south of the Cancun airport in a gated community of 620 acres with four major “resort” sections–the Banyan Tree Mayakoba, the Fairmont Mayakoba, the Rosewood Mayakoba, and the Andaz Mayakoba.  Just be aware that staying at the Andaz only allows you to visit other resort restaurants (you have to make reservations), but there is no general exchange privileges with the other three resorts in this complex.  Also, even though you may book the all-inclusive plan, you will have to pay for your food and drink orders at the other resort restaurants since they are not part of the all-inclusive plan.
