Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Great resort for price!

Overall this resort I consider to be a 4 plus. The room was fine, the grouds were immaculate, the beach was very good although the seaweed was endless due to the very windy days but they did try to remove it on a regular basis. The food was good but not alot of variety for buffet restaurants but the ocean front restaurant buffet was excellent with lots of room on the patio everyday to enjoy lunch, also the service was excellent. Im not a pool person but they all looked like they were in great co [... read more]ndition and clean. Night time snacking is non-existant form what I was told, didn't matter to me so much but the late night revellers must have been disappointed about this. Beach related, they can easily add more beach related activities such as volleyball, rental hut for snorkeling, caterman rentals etc. since this was lacking.

Barcelo Gran Faro Los Cabos: Barcelo Grand Faro

The resort is clean and well kept. Housekeeping was odd, with so many rooms, ours wasn't cleaned until 5pm each day which worked out to the time we returned to change to eat... The beds were super hard and lost a lot of sleep.

Barcelo Ixtapa: Our 2nd visit to the Barcelo

While we were very disappointed when we arrived to find the one pool under construction, meaning that the kids were allowed in the adult pool, it turned out okay after the Mexico holiday weekend passed by. We were at the Barcelo Ixtapa 4 years ago, tried another hotel in Ixtapa last year and returned to the Barceló Ixtapa because it was cleaner than the other place. Great service, nice and clean, entertainment was okay (except the Michael Jackson night, they need a better Michael Jackson). Only [... read more] complaint is that there is not a good selection of a la carte restaurants (only one), we didn't remember that from the first time. I think that has changed.

Occidental Costa Cancun: Decent hotel, great people.

Barcelo was pretty sleepy and lacked any on ground night life. also no swim up bar. The staff made it a great week - you have to join Rubi, Kenia, Angel, and Sebastian - they'll take great care of you. Also thanks to Natalie from Tripcentral for coordinating our unique trip. everything was perfect!

Barcelo Solymar: convenient locatiom

looking for a place to walk besides the beach. walked everyday downtown and back. front counter staff very helpful. food what can I say cuba food. stayed in bungalow very nicely located away from main hotel

Barcelo Huatulco: Very good value and a gorgeous beach!

We did get a fantastic all inclusive deal ($957) so I think it was great value for sure. We have been here about 5 yrs before. The first time we did get a renovated room which was very nice. This time we did not so the bathrooms are very tired and in need however we had a gorgeous view out to the pool, and you can't beat the oceanfront set up here. The resort is a more traditional Mexican style and not too big. Lots to see and do. Because of the age, I'd say accomodation is more a 3.5 star with  [... read more]a 4 star food and beveridge. 5 star beach! Great people. The lobby entertainment featured a 5 pc band and two fantastic lead singers. If they had a chance they would beat anyone on "The Voice" Extremely talented. Thank-you to our extraordinary fishing guide Tony Lopez Lopez who makes amazing margaritas, took us to all the spots that the hotel tours do not and gave us a private tour! Ask for him as he really made the day fun and is a true professional. ( new boats and safe) He also made our Christmas very merry by helping us facilitate toys to one of the poorest of the neighbourhoods AND helped us rescue two cats that were in very poor health as he hooked them up to a local vet for treatment and placement. I felt due to the renovations needed, age and quality of drinks that it is all around about a 3.9 star experience however given the price we paid we were very happy! GREAT VALUE!

Barcelo Gran Faro Los Cabos: Lousy Check In - Great Stay!

Some front end staff neeed Customer Service training and they MUST streamline their check in process to make it move more quickly. We were very unhappy that they demanded a pre-auth on our credit cards (never had that before at an all-inclusive). For one of our party it was 7000 pesos and it was 5000 for me. That seems very steep. Even though they cancelled on our check out, I won't rest easy until a month or so has gone by. We really should have been warned about this! It was also advertised th [... read more]at there was free wifi in the lobby but on check in we learned that wasn't true - only available for a fee. Otherwise the resort itself was super. The best food by far of any all inclusive any of us have visited. Great variety and well executed. Rooms were kept clean, although a little inconsistent with how many towels were available and sometimes the mini-bar wasn't fully restocked - nothing we couldn't live with though. We were impressed by how hard working everyone was - much work being done to fix things from hurricane damage but it was never intrusive. Pool staff were a lot of fun. Great that the activity pool was so warm as we had little ones with us that were able to spend a lot of time in there with us. The evening entertainment was top notch. Mexican Fiesta night was a highlight for us, and again we were impressed with how much work the staff did to make it all happen. Bar service was a little hit and miss. After the first day there was never mint at the pool bar so I either had to go up to the lobby or have something else (again not a big hardship though). There were six adults and 2 small children in our group and we agreed that we would all happily come back again if the overall experience was the same (and the front end improved! )

Barcelo Karmina: Amazing

Food wasn't the greatest but the pools are ok I also liked the service the people that work there are very pleasant. The room was perfect. And yes I would recommend this resort to friends.and yes I would return if the price was right.

Barcelo Maya Palace: nice resort

Example: What did you think about  this hotel? The hotel was clean and well maintained. The sinage around the property - indicating the resturants and buldings - and shopping and other ammenities was lacking. Front staff did not clearly explain where all the resturants were that were available to us.

Sunscape Puerto Plata: amazing resort all workers are so helpfull .

I like it soo much and all workers are soo friendly and they work as a team for making u happy .Swimming pool clean and big bars are so nice u feel that u are full peace of mind .Aout food is clean too and lote of choices .

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Luxurious and Lovely

Rooms were spacious and beautiful. Beach was private and clean. Swimable. The grounds were lush, tropical and well kept. Food was always good. We lived off the tacos by the beach. Excursions: go pet the baby tigers at the zoo (walkable from the resort), go swim with the dolphins (a twenty minute boat ride away).

Barcelo Solymar: "Remember it's Cuba"

All in all a good trip, I think you have to remember where you are. I have stayed in Arenas Blancas before it was Barceló and it is still a fine resort. We where there late November I guess it was a bad time of the year it was windy and the red flag on beach was allways up but cant control the weather. The one thing I was not impressed with was I had money missing from my room, now I did leave it out of the safe by accident. So a word to the wise lock up all valuables.

Barcelo Karmina: Absolutely amazing resort

Beautiful setting and not a bad view anywhere. I would have rated pools excellent but beach is lacking. We enjoy walking on the beach and had to take a bus to Playa Miramar to do that. Otherwise absolutely no complaints. Staff are beyond excellent and very friendly and helpful. Food was good and selection changed every day. Rooms were kept very clean.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Absolutely Fabulous Resort

We have only great things to say about this resort. Our only wish is that we had gone for a longer duration... 8 days was simply not enough time. We are looking to return as early as next spring. The food was delicious and so much variety at all the restaurants and grills by the beach. We tried something new every day. The grounds were always perfectly manicured. Our accommodations were well appointed and always cleaned on time. There were numerous activities to try. We loved working out in the  [... read more]morning and afternoons with Lynn and Jennifer our "Swedish Trainers". We also enjoyed the Zumba, stretching and water aerobics classes. If we had not done some of these activities on a daily basis I think we would have gained a lot of weight from all the terrific food. We would like to thank Karol Charez for recommending this resort to us. It will now become one of our favorites.

Barcelo Karmina: Amazing resort

It was our 7th time at this resort. The food staff and the grounds are incredible I would highly recommend this resort. The weather is always sunny and warm. The rooms are beautiful. Can't wait to go back

Barcelo Solymar: Average Cuban hotel

Decent hotel with edible food, standard drinks, close to town. All the beaches in Veradero are beautiful! Don't go to Cuba to be wined and dined, but if you enjoy the beach, and can overlook the small stuff, and week is more than enough. Slightly better than other Varadero hotels I've stayed: 4 Palms, Barlovento, Punterana (don't go)

Barcelo Solymar: Good resort

Nice friendly resort. Staff and room service were great. Rooms and food were decent. Great entertainment. Beaches were beautiful. And only a short walk away from Havana club, the Beatles etc. Would go back :)

Barcelo Huatulco: Great family atmosphere resort...

Really enjoyed the fact this resort is not huge. Design lay out is very good , so walking distances to the beach, dining,and pool are not more than a couple of minutes. Nice balcony size for the morning coffee and sunrise, while serenaded by ocean waves and the birds around the pool area . Really enjoyed watching the kiddies pool area with the fountain and water slides. Perfect for a grand kid holiday. Fishing and snorkling trips are waiting at the beach. Last day we were given a Sunwing farewel [... read more]l barbecue... how cool is that.!!

Barcelo Karmina: beautiful resort

The hotel is amazing ...food was great ..very clean and the service was excellent...as for the disco we would go every night and dance till it closed ...the entertenment in the evening was also very nice ...thx for the wonderful week ..looking forward to seeing this resort again.

Barcelo Solymar: Never again

Never again never again ... Horrible service ... Horrible food ... Horrible staff .. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Do yourself a favour and do not go to this place because it was the worst experience of our lives.
