1. Electric golf carts
2. Educational programs for children
3. Bicycles for getting around the property
4. Visitors park at the gate and are transported via covered boats called lanchas
I would love to win the 3 nights! xo

What an ABSOLUTELY gorgeous jewel of a resort!
So glad to hear that the resort is working hard to preserve the natural beauty of the area while providing top notch eco-friendly accommodations. Who wouldn’t want to enjoy a leisurely bicycle ride around the property or enjoy the water up close by riding one of the lanchas boats. Even the golf carts are electric. I can’t wait to visit.

Eco-conciencia es realizada a través de la responsabilidad social tomando conciencia, realizando mejoras en la conservación del agua (sistemas de reciclaje de agua) y de energía (iluminación de bajo consumo de energía) y energía verde, reciclado (minimizando desperdicios) aplicando estrategias como la conservación también de especies, limpieza de ríos y playas, todo comienza desde el respeto hacia la ubicación del hotel haciendo participes a los huéspedes al igual que empleados y crear una educación ambiental.
Eco-conscious is due through social responsibility by taking conscience, making improvements in the water conservation (by recycling water systems) and also with energy (low consume ilumination energy) and also by using green energy, besides recycling (minimizing waste) applying strategies as well as the conservation of species, beaches and rivers cleaning, it all starts from the respect to the location of the hotel, by making guests and as well employees to participate and create an environmental education.

Hi Stephanie, , this looks awesome, nice that The Fairmont is in the “Green Partnership Program” and that they “recycle” and offer “Eco-meetings” and “Eco-accommodations” along with “eco-service”! I love that they have boats called “lanchas” to get around the waterways, and provide “electric golf carts” to get around the hotel, too. I don’t have to bring a bicycle, because they provide them also. I think they may even be working towards being sustainable. When can I go? Please pick me, pick me, pretty please. I am being green by entering this online and not by paper mail. I recycle, too. I have flown with my bicycle to destinations before! It will be nice to go somewhere where they provide them! Thank you! judy

Such a gorgeous resort, I’ve heard great things from a fellow mom who went for a long weekend w/out kids!
The resort’s efforts to protect the environment include organic and sustainable menus, waste-free meetings, and group eco-tourism.

What a great place to relax … as a guest one can be confident the Fairmont Green Partnership program makes sure the Fairmont Mayakoba, Riviera Maya minimizes the impact on it’s gorgeous natural surroundings. I can just picture myself on one of the many resort bicycles peddling to the spa with my Stephanie Johnson Riviera Maya clutch in hand. Eco-conscious transport 2 : )

Looks like a fabulous resort. It is eco-conscious. It has five different ecosystems -mangrove, tropical forest, lagoons, water canals, and coastal dunes.It seems like a dreamy place to vacation in.

Seeing that the answers are above, I can only share with you my experience at Fairmont Mayakoba.
Our first experience was four years ago when we were looking for a wedding venue in Playa del Carmen area. From the luxurious entrance way into the property to the incredible gondola ride through the marsh, utterly breathtaking. As you would imagine, the service was impeccable from the front door staff to the ground keepers. Everyone breathes hospitality.
Since that experience four years ago, we’ve gone back every year for our Anniversary.
We returned this past weekend for an all-day spa at Willow Stream, awesome!
It truly is a magical place!
Thank you for having this contest Stephanie, the winner will really find themselves lucky.
Please let me how I can buy your products online, would make a great surprise gift for my wife.

I love that the Mayakoba is all-around eco-conscious and committed to their natural surrounding as well as the local foods and traditions — truly celebrating what makes the Riviera Maya special and unique. With sustainable menus (mm, lobster!), Mayan-influenced spa treatments, and alternative options like bikes and electric golf carts to get around, the Mayakoba infuses authenticity into each of their offerings and amenities. I would love to visit a beautiful, tropical resort that cares as much about local history and sustainability as it does about their guests.
