For the second consecutive year, Unalanapay Celebrity Golf Invitational took place from June 8 to 11 at Fairmont Mayakoba and El Camaleón Mayakoba golf course with the participation of well-known international celebrities.
RIVIERA MAYA, Mexico, June 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Unalanapay Celebrity Golf Invitational, an international sporting event that brings together sports and entertainment celebrities such as Hollywood actors Kevin Dillon and Donovan Carter; NFL figures Adrian Peterson, Eric Dickerson, Antonio Freeman, Marshall Faulk, Fred Taylor, Christian Okoye, Santonio Holmes and Emmitt Smith; MLB players Jorge Posada, and Jorge Cantú; and NBA basketball player Anthony “Spud” Webb.
Fairmont Mayakoba, with AAA-5 Diamond certification, hosted this event thanks to the personalized service, quality, luxury facilities, accessibility of the destination and, above all, the opportunity for attendees to enjoy the new spaces that are part of the hotel's ambitious restoration project since its opening.

This green blends harmoniously with the diverse ecosystems of Mayakoba, such as the tropical jungle, dense mangroves, freshwater canals, and the beaches of the Riviera Maya.
