Yes, it's right next door to the Mayakoba complex in which the Banyan Tree and the Rosewood properties are ensconced.
This is fairly surprising news to me, but I have to say, I felt this Mandarin Oriental was a disappointment, particularly compared to the spectacular Rosewood right next door: very small, unappealing and cold pool, tiny beachfront, and awkwardly arranged property. Nice rooms, nice spa, nice food -- so it wasn't a disaster by any means. But it really didn't work well as a beach resort or a pool resort.
