Alila Mayakoba: Booking Commences for 2026
Buckle up, folks, because the ever-popular Andaz Mayakoba took a little hiatus back in March 2025. Why, you ask? Well, it’s getting a swanky makeover. Once it’s all shiny and new, it’s re-emerging in the hotel landscape as the Alila Mayakoba, ready to mingle with the high-end crowd. Drumroll, please, because the curtain is lifting, and bookings are now officially open!
The Alila Mayakoba, Mexico: A Sneak Peek
Breathe in, because the luxurious Alila Mayakoba is available for stays starting February 12, 2026. Nestled in the resort haven of Mayakoba near Cancun, it’s cozying up to the likes of Rosewood and Banyan Tree properties. Mark this as Alila’s grand debut in the glamorous Latin America and Caribbean scene. Kind of a big deal, wouldn’t you say?
For the uninitiated, Alila is the crème de la crème of Hyatt’s wellness chic brands. Think of it as Park Hyatt with a bit of je ne sais quoi… though it does tend to keep us guessing with a wide range in prices—from $100 to $2,000 per night, a small fortune or a mere splurge, depending on your perspective.
Initially, whispers from Hyatt had the Alila opening its doors in late 2025. But, like all good things, we may have to wait a smidgen longer. Because in the world of hotel renovations, delays are as common as beach sand.
The buzz? The property is downsizing, but not in the way you’d think. Expect fewer rooms aplenty but with suites soaring to 40% of the total. To drop some specs: the Andaz had 214 rooms—41 were suites. The Alila’s entry-level rooms will stretch at 538 square feet, while its suites will give you luxurious legroom up to 1,076 square feet.
Delectable Dining Delights
When it comes to tantalizing the taste buds, Alila Mayakoba is no slouch. Catch some sun at Pool and Grill at Seaside, grab a bite with beats at The Beach Club, savor a farm-to-table experience at Casa Amate, or embrace your inner chef at El Huerto Chef’s Atelier.
The Alila isn’t just about luxury—it’s a wellness haven too. Prepare for a spa that will spoil you silly and a gym that never sleeps. And just between us, I’m eager to see what they do with the pool—though visual details remain elusive for now.
A Peek at Hyatt’s Mexican Wave
Hyatt seems to have caught the Mexican wave, hasn’t it? With the Park Hyatt Los Cabos about to unveil its allure, and whispers of the Park Hyatt Cancun and Park Hyatt Mexico City opening soon, they’re becoming quite the hit south of the border.
Alila Mayakoba: Rates & Points Revelation
Snagging a stay at the Alila Mayakoba won’t be for the faint-hearted (or cash-light). For those hot on points, you’re in for a treat as this is a prime Category 6 World of Hyatt spot. Standard rooms clock between 21,000 and 29,000 points a night. If you fancy a suite, get ready to part with 36,000 to 44,000 points nightly.
And if you’re conjuring up some cash, brace yourself for rates that dance between $500 in summery months to $1,000 when winter chills the air. Just don’t forget about Mexico’s whopping 30%+ taxes, with a cheeky $45 daily resort fee sneaking in. But if you’re a savvy Globalist member, that pesky fee takes a hike during point stays.
Fancy a cash booking? Swing by the Hyatt Privé program to get those awesome perks like room upgrades, complimentary breakfast, and extra hotel credits that make your stay just a smidge sweeter.
In Conclusion
The Alila Mayakoba is rolling out the red carpet for February 2026 stays. Transforming from the Andaz through a full-blown makeover, it promises a handsome enhancement in poshness—albeit at a princely price.
It’s bound to stir both anticipation and mixed feelings. On one hand, an upgrade as lavish as this is a cause for celebration. On the flip side, those pricetags might just break your piggy bank.
