Occidental Cozumel: great holiday

we were celebrating our 45th anniversary and had a really good time. The staff were friendly and helpful. The place was very clean and well maintained and the food was very good. People always talk about the liquor being watered down at all - inclusives but I had a few straight shots while we were there and they were not watered down. The pool was nice and the beach was beautiful and well looked after. We went to all three a la carte restaurants during our stay and had three excellent meals. We  [... read more]asked to change rooms after the first night because we were right beside the entertainment that went til 1:30 am and they were very nice about it, moving us to a quieter area. It was mostly couples staying at the resort, with a few larger groups who were a little boisterous, but no bad behaviour.

Barcelo Maya Grand Resort: One of the best resort out there

I think it was the best week I’ve ever had in my entire life the food was amazing the rooms were awesome with the most beautiful view you can ever had and best of all the people so amazing with you by doing what ever they can to help and make as comfortable as you can be... by far one of the best resorts I’ve ever been to

Occidental Punta Cana: Nice resort

The hotel was nice the grounds were nice and clean and tidy the staff are very friendly the beach is amazing the food was good also breakfast was amazing ala carte were okay The only problem I thought was that the front lobby bar close too early should stay open a little bit later 11 is too early

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Amazing Resort

Very clean and well maintained resort. Food was excellent and you never had to wait for anything as there was plenty of staff working to make sure all food trays were always full. Large selection to choose from. We had breakfast at the buffet daily and found so much variety. Something for everyone. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Plenty of beach and pool chairs. You didn’t need to go early to secure a spot. All and all it was a very enjoyable experience as this was our first time [... read more] at a Barceló Resort. We highly recommend it and will be returning. I travelled with my husband and another couple for 1 wk at the beginning of February.

Palma Real: Amazing vacation!

Although Palma Real is dated and needs upgrades in the area of plumbing, electrical and of the quiet pool, we enjoyed our stay immensely. There was maple bacon at breakfast every day and seafood at lunch and dinner every day. The location is unbeatable and the staff amazing, especially Moses, Natalie and Ever. We will be back!

Barcelo Huatulco: Huatalco 2019

Barcelo is a great vacation resort. Second time here and it was great. Staff is amazing. Always willing to accommodate most times. I had asked the front desk if I could have an additional mattress cover or some additional blankets for my bed in order to increase the comfort of the bed. (too hard for me) they said they couldn't help with that. I did find that unusual. This year we felt the food wasn't as tasty as in the past. Beach and pool were terrific. Premium Level was gre [... read more]at. Would recommend it. Check in and out was quick. Great Sunwing staff.

Barcelo Solymar: Nice place

Great place. Get access to 2 resorts. Excellent beach! Very cloae ro downtown Varadero. Free acces to palma real to go to the havana club and party all night with lots of people. Close to the Beatles bar and Cali 62. Cheers!

Palma Real: Horrible!

I really don’t have anything good to say about this resort. The first room I got was in building #2 and the hallway ceilings are covered in black mould. In fact the entire place is covered in mold. The safe didn’t even have a door on it. Half the lights in the room don’t work and the beds are as old. Once all 6 of us weren’t happy with our rooms we all got upgraded to suits in building #1. These rooms were better although still no working safe and the room was dirty. The maid really didn [... read more]’t do much. There were still socks from a previous traveler under the bed. The bathroom never got cleaned. She replaced my towels for 2 small hand towels and that’s what I had to shower with for the remainder of the week. The fridge was never stocked with anything. The resort itself just looks worn down. Tiles are cracked or missing and door frames are all cracked and prevent doors from opening all the way. Snack bar was lame, the buffet was plain nothing special.

Palma Real: Great staff!

The resort itself is very old and needs work. Our first rooms weren’t good, doors didn’t close properly, holes in walls etc. But we were upgraded to a suite which was great and had zero problems. The staff is amazing and always ready to help make the stay great. The food was much better this time than when I went two years ago. 10/10 would visit again

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Very Good Beach!!

The grounds were kept very clean. The variety of food was great as you had 4 different Barcelo hotel areas to choose from. The beach area was very large to walk, no worries with towels or lounge chairs. The room well, less désirable. Good guest services to help out!!

Barcelo Solymar: 6th time here!!

We love this hotel. Will never stay anywhere else. Food is fantastic, staff are all great and the bungalows are awesome!!! The pools are clean, drinks are great and we love the beach!! Can’t wait for our next visit already booked for April!!

Palma Real: A resort that needs repair

We had been there 7 years ago and it was very good. Not luxurious but very good for a downtown hotel. This hotel has clearly lacked input over the years. There is dirt and moldings everywhere. It is very damaged and it clearly lacks maintenance. The pool is very damaged too. It is a shame because it was a very nice hotel many years ago.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Absolutely amazing

We had a terrific time the grounds were very well maintained, our rooms were gorgeous and the staff went over and beyond to serve us well The food was awesome so many to choose from and of course the entertainment was super cool to watch we will definately go back thanks for great vacation Oh Transat was also awesome their service at airport and on plane was tremendous thanks again

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Awesome resort

Rooms awesome, food great, pools amazing, view amazing. We were a group and had great time in the resortz. Loved the disco, Food, Room cleanliness, Public areas cleanliness, Beds, bathrooms. We would highly recommend this

Barcelo Maya Grand Resort: Something for everyone!

Visited Feb 3-10 with family of 4 - with 17 and 19 year olds. Large resort but well laid out (5 resorts in total). Close to beach/pool and restaurants. Pools were nice with swim up bars and fountains. Beach was beautiful with snorkelling available - 1 hour free. Saw many fish and turtles. Many other water sports available as well. Grounds were beautiful and very clean resorts. Buffet restaurants were good - lots of selection. You had a choice of going to 3 a la cartes - they were pretty go [... read more]od - disappointed in the Japanese because we did not get to sit at the chef table. Service was very good all around - the pool bars were a bit slow. They had activities every day if you wanted to join in - aqua fitness, volley ball, water polo, tequila tasting, zumba dancing. Front desk was good - easy to check in and very accommodating. The rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. There was a resort mall in between the resorts but it was pricey. There was a bowling alley, arcade room, merry go round carousel and skating pad - all fee for service which was disappointing. There were many water parks for kids which were amazing as well as an 18 hole mini putt course. This location was about an hour from the airport and the transportation took a bit long to organize from the airport. Going back to the airport was no issue. All in all - a very nice spot, beautiful beach, good food and good service. The only regret was wifi was only available at certain times and in 2 locations - either the mall or one of the lobby bars and reception was not that great. Of course you could pay a fee and then I'm sure reception was just fine. But it is vacation time but sometimes business needs to be attended to. I would recommend this to others.

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Perfect holiday

The Barcelo is a perfect holiday from start to finish!!! From the grounds to the room to the food to the activities to the nightlife!!! The beach is beautiful soft sand and turquoise water! All of the staff is very friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome and valued!

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Barcelo maya caribe beach

The hotel over all was good. Booking as a group was not good. We were the only ones in our group of 19 that was not in the same hotel as everone else. They were not accommodating when asked to be moved.

Barcelo Solymar: Barcelo Solymar

We (my daughter & I) had read some bad reviews but our experience was much different. Our room 1452 was on the top floor with beautiful views of the pool &ocean water .The Beds were ok pillows were awesome . Our room was Cleaned everyday and had fresh towels too. Our housekeeper Tania made sure our stay was fantastic, extra water and towels and even little notes " Have a great day" The pools were cleaned everyday, lots of chairs at the beautiful beach. The food at our buffet was actually  [... read more]really good. Roasted chicken and potatoes were my staple but there was a variety of seafood available too. Bread ,butter ,sauces all abundant. It was quiet after the dinner hour but close to the main strip for nightlife. We felt very safe walking the streets and were not harrassed by anyone. Needs improvement- no beach bar - minor repairs needed throughout the resort.

Barcelo Solymar: Good resort

Overall the resort is good, the location is excellent - centrally located within walking distance to Varadero downtown and markets. Most of the resort staff were good, courteous and friendly. The buffet food selection was also good - I especially liked the Cuban foods selection and enjoyed the local Cuban food together with international (western) food selection. The alcohol selection is also very good with some international brands including scotch. The beach is excellent and so is the ki [... read more]ds supervised activity/play center - this gave us (parents) a much needed 2 hours alone time away from the kids to just sit and relax on the beach. The resort could do a little bit better on the room amenities. In our room the shower had only half side door and as a result the bathroom floor would have lot of water after a shower and slippery (have to be careful especially with kids). The resort could fix these small things. Plus I saw in some people's room the ceiling was leaking water (probably from the aircon). These are not a big negative - just minor things the resort could improve upon. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend this resort to my friends and would stay here again.
