Yucatan Peninsula hotel rooms a the Banyan Tree

"Limited number of seats"

"The hospitality was the best! Everyone was so kind! We mentioned a birthday celebration and they went above and beyond & pulled out all the stops. Amenities were perfect for a restful vacation & the entertainment was fun!"

"The staff were pretty consistently rude for most of the week we were there. When we would ask for food at restaurants where they were serving at buffets they were consistently rude or acted like we were annoying them or like they didn’t want to be there. It was pretty shocking considering what we paid to be there. We wondered if they were treating us that way because we were Mexican-American and not White. No matter the reason, it was not OK. If you’re looking for a beach, this is not the place for you. The beach is very small, most of it is Rocky, and there was lots of sarga while we were there. We most definitely will never return here."

"Just got back from an amazing stay in Cancun and had to share! 🌴 The room was spotless and very well maintained, which made it easy to relax from the moment we arrived. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming—always ready to help with a smile and made us feel right at home throughout our stay. And the food… absolutely excellent! Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and had plenty of variety to choose from. Overall, a fantastic experience and I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone planning a trip to Cancun. Can’t wait to go back!"

"Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The staff was excellent, and the food was good/very good. There were a lot of options for food. There were different options for pools, e.g. active pool area with music and swim-up bar near the beach and quieter options with poolside service near the back of the property. We also used the gym, which was small but nice and clean. The room was spacious and nice; you could see some wear on the property, but nothing to complain about. The staff works hard to maintain the property, and it is very clean. We had one of the ground floor, swim-up rooms, which we really enjoyed. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend!"

"The beach was beautiful but small. The beach and main pool area was cramped and crowded. Restaurants were good and not real busy."

"Our stay at Seadust was disappointing and not as relaxing as we had hoped. The resort was very noisy, with constant banging sounds that made it hard to rest and enjoy our time. Shortly after arrival, we were approached by staff offering a discount and “VIP breakfast” in exchange for attending a 90-minute presentation for their Infinity Travel Club. We agreed based on the timeframe given, but it ended up taking half of our day. The sales team was very pushy, and once we declined, their attitude changed completely and felt rude and unwelcoming. The “VIP breakfast” did not feel VIP at all, the food was the same as the buffet, just served in a different location. Overall, the food quality throughout the resort was mediocre. We felt this experience was disrespectful of our time and it negatively affected our overall stay."

"This resort is incredibly beautiful with amazing staff that were kind and friendly. The only reason I did not rate this 5 stars is because both the breakfast and lunch options were redundant. The food items were all the same every single day without any variety."

"Interior of the resort was quite beautiful. Exterior of the resort leaves quite a bit to be desired. The pool area is very condensed and crowded. You feel like you’re on top of the other guests at all times. We spent a lot of our vacation just waiting. Waiting on line for someone at the front desk, waiting in line for the buffet, waiting for service at the pool…just waiting. Pool chairs are nearly impossible to come by. Prepare to pay to rent a cabana if you want somewhere to sit down - or wake at 7:30 AM to save a pool chair. The resort really needs a better solution for the amount of chairs that are being “reserved” but sit empty all day. Restaurant reservations are very difficult at several restaurants in the resort particularly the steakhouse and Italian restaurant. Your best bet is to show up and see if anyone was a no-show and get a walk-in table. The best way to sum up this resort is simply ‘mid’. Not awful, not great. Mid-level quality, mid-level service mid-level amenities. It was a fair price for what we got, but I would not return, nor would I recommend. "
