Currency: Mexican Peso ($); US dollars are accepted at resorts.
Language: Spanish; English is widely spoken.
Timezone: EST (UTC-5, no daylight saving)
Current trends: Mayakoba continues to distinguish itself from the broader Riviera Maya through its master-planned canal-and-mangrove design and the sheer scale of its dining program, with more than 25 restaurants spread across four distinct hotel brands giving guests cross-property access rarely matched at a single beach destination; Banyan Tree Mayakoba's ten dining venues alone illustrate the community's ongoing investment in culinary variety as a core differentiator.
