I had a wonderful experience at Mayan Princess. The service was excellent, staff were attentive and friendly, and everything felt well taken care of. The stay was comfortable, with clean rooms and a relaxing atmosphere. The environment was welcoming and made the whole visit enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a great place to relax and be treated with genuine hospitality.
The view was great. The condo was older but very nice. The bed was very comfortable. Over all the condo was great. The heated pool could not keep up with the weather. The hot tub could. Didn't use any service from the condo office or business except the pool. All is good and I'll stay again when I come down.
We stayed in 317. While the place was clean and spacious.. all of furniture is so outdated, it was uncomfortable to sit on or sleep on. The dining room table and the outside patio tables, are about the only updated furniture in there. Oh, bring your own pillows, and if you're using the hide a bed, bring padding if you can. Again, everything was great except it was very outdated. Mayan Princess has gone downhill lately... hopefully they get it back to where it use to be. The place has a great location, and access to the beach. But was not worth the price we paid vs. what we got.
We couldn't be happier with our stay here! Coastal Distancing was an absolutely fantabulous condo rental. The beach access is phenomenal and the pools are very nice! Staff here is friendly, helpful, and just all around pleasant to deal with. Honestly looking forward to returning in the near future. 10/10
Loved our short stay here. The location by the beach was excellent, the pool is much larger than we anticipated and made for a great time. Definitely will stay here again.
We stayed in room 206. First time staying in this resort and it's uniquely beautiful. The pools are big and spacious. The boardwalk to the beach is a super short walk which was very nice. We stayed during a storm so the power kept going off for the most part of our first day there but the room stayed cool enough to deal with it. I love that there's a W/D in the unit, that really helped us out! The only down side to the room was the leaks on the ceiling from the storm and our ceiling fan was caked in dust and that gave us allergies, which we had only discovered because the power went out. Overall, good stay!
We had an incredible girls getaway at the Mayan Princess in Port Aransas. We stayed in 106 and the place is so charming and beautifully decorated.The condo is on the ground floor and easy access to the 3 pools and hot tub. A short walk on boardwalk to the stunning white sand beach. The sun rises are beautiful with great morning walks on the sand, and the beach was so clean. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Has lots of restaurant choices with a short drive. We highly recommend the Mayan for a peaceful, relaxing, and memorable weekend trip. Hoping to make this a annual trip
We stayed during labor day weekend. The pools were perfect for families. The walk to the beach couldn't be better, very short and efficient. The place was clean but was built in the 80s and hasn't been updated much.
