We stayed at the Mayan Palace resort during the Christmas break and it was a different experience from our earlier trips. For one, this resort is HUGE! We ended up staying the jungle area of the resort and you have to take a tram to get anywhere, which adds another 15-20 minutes one way to your trip. We had the 1 bedroom suites and they were fantastic. The service was impeccable in the rooms. The beach is pretty much non-existent, rocky and unswimmable. You will spend more time in their meticulously landscaped billion swimming pools. And that does not make up for the fact that their timeshare sales staff will rip you off any chance they get. So many of the guests we spoke to had the same bad experience as us. Avoid if you can find another resort. Otherwise skip the timeshare presentation.
