Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Worst Service Ever

We have traveled all over the Caribbean over the last 10 years. Unfortunately our experience at Barcelo Maya has been very disappointing. Hotel staff is very unpleasant and extremely unhelpful across the board starting from check-in desk to restaurants and bars. Both of our kids got sick with some kind of stomach bug. Wifi was limited to a certain location at a specific time of day. The water park is an extra cost (which explains why it is deserted). There were sharp objects in the pool and we w [... read more]itnessed two separate incidents of guests getting hurt. There is little shade at the beach and little shelter from the rain at the pools. There was an obvious offensive smell in the Caribe area of the resort for most of the week that we were there. Will never go back.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Somewhat disappointed

This resort is beautiful, well kept, has fantastic entertainment, and the food is very good. The service in the A la cart restraunts is fantastic. The down side is that the resort is extremely large and understaffed. In the buffet, it was almost impossible to get a coffee, and in the evening during the entertainment the service was slow and the waiters were abrupt and less then friendly,.also, it was labeled all exclusive but the safe was an extra $5. US a day, and the alcohol was cut off at 11 [... read more] pm. And if you wanted more it was at an additional cost. As I said a very large resort and understaffed, getting a transport from lobby to room was near impossible

Royal Hideaway Playacar: Relaxing and romantic resort

This resort is being completely renovated and is beautiful The resort is quiet and offers a very relaxing atmosphere Our assigned room was modern in appearance and kept clean. All services were great and the food was excellent. The sandy beach stretches for miles offering a enjoyable walk. A special thank you for Jairus Maus of tripcentral who offered excellent customer service. Perry and Karen Cort (Waterloo, Ontario)

Barcelo Maya Caribe: Amazing resort

No complaints. This was an amazing resort. There's so much to do, swimming, in pools or at the beach, working out at the gym, playing basketball, mini putting, bowling, there's clubs for the nightlife, there's a sports bar to watch games, and soooo many drinks. I had a great time. The trip was too short. I look at forward to coming back.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Fabtastic resort

The resort is equipped with high-quality facilities. It got the beach, the sunshine, the pools, the hammocks and everything. The services and the food are great too. I enjoyed my holiday here. Don't want to leave!

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Good resort

Food is amazing. Buffet and a la carte are both great. I'll recommend this resort based on food alone. The room could be better though. The ceiling in the bathroom is all patchy. The staff is pretty supportive. The beach is very nice.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Great resort, food and most importantly... a good time!!

The Barceló Maya Colonial Beach was by far one of the best resorts I have ever visited. The food was awesome, there was always a large variety of food and freshly squeezed juices at the buffet. The a la cart restaurants exceeded my expectations, the food was so well done and the restaurants themselves were very nicely decorated to suite their theme. The restaurant called La Trattoria Ristorante Italiano was by far my favorite, the food was awesome and they had people with beautiful voices singi [... read more]ng in Italian, it really set the ambiance. I also really liked the Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant called Tokyo, our cook Carlos was great, he put on a good show and served up some delicious food; the deep fried ice cream at this place was to die for. The hotel itself was very well maintained and the staff were friendly. The beach was great, but my one critique would be that they should try and clean up some of the seaweed, this would make the beach perfect. Another part of this resort I loved was the Maya Mall, there was lots to do and their 24/h bar called Strikers was really fun and came in handy when we wanted late night munchies or drinks. All in all, I had a fabulous trip and would definitely recommend to friends and family or even go back myself!!

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Great resort!

The resort was very well maintained, good food and pleasant staff. Even though sport club was well equipped, I would like to make a suggestion about the time slots for rental. I think the time should be increased from 1/2 to a full hour. Other than that all was good, and we had no time to be bored :)

Akumal Bay Beach and Spa Resort: Great Resort!

Awesome place. All the rooms face the ocean and even the furthest rooms are only 50m from the ocean. Great food and nice snorkeling. Saw sea turtles, squid, stingrays and parrot fish all just 20m off the shore. They even upgraded us to the penthouse suite when they found out we were on our honeymoon. Would definitely go again!

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Lots to do!!

Just came back from a week vacation at the Iberostar Paraiso Lindo. The resort was beautiful and felt luxurious. There were lots to do for our family (2 kids ages 5,7). We spent a lot of time going from lazy river, pool, wave pool and water playground. We also visited the lazy river at del mar. People working at the resort were very friendly and helpful. Never felt any pressure to tip.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Beautiful Resort with lots to do

The resort was amazing! First of all, it actually looks like the pictures. The beach was beautiful and the pools are very large. The rooms were clean and the staff was helpful. Free wifi would be nice

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Great Family Get away !

Absolutely Stunning, well kept grounds and immaculate facilities. Truly felt spoiled with the surroundings and elegant look. Safety which was my number one priority was well structured to account for everyone on and off the resort. Very helpful staff. With the good I do have some suggestions to enhance the experience - Don't assume everyone knows Spanish allot of locals - Create walk ways for people so they are not always looking over there shoulders for golf carts flying by - The extra atte [... read more]ntion you get at the Buffets for Drinks needs to follow to all Bars, Lobby and swim up bars. - Although present and very delightful staff that brought you drinks while at pool side could be more diligent, I found we had to bulk order to accommodate for lengthy wait. By the beach it was next to no service. - Pet Peeve was refused drinks at another resort which is so accessible to anyone. If you are promoting segregation close the loop and don't make it accessible. I hate embarrassing situation to the point were you feel your not accepted. All in all my family of 5 had a memorable vacation for life and would return :)

Barcelo Maya Colonial: amazing resort

The resort was really nice; the resort was well maintaineddone and staff were very friendly and always helpful to assist. The food was good too. They had different meals everyday and also an a la carte dinner if you wanted to get away from buffet food every day

Hotel Marina El Cid Spa and Beach Resort: Entertaining

The entertainment was top notch , food was really good most of the times. I found the Mexican restaurant and seafood was not a favourite on my list. The drinks l felt were not high quality drinks, l felt if l asked for a Mia Tia l can honestly say it was never the same drink twice. The entertainment group were wondering and warm and very interactive. I was a little put off when l could not have food by the pool or brought out of the restaurant, l have never had that in any resort. My husband and [... read more] l are not big breakfast eaters so l always liked the option of getting something and bringing it back to the room. ( the room service for breakfast was very limited and not appealing). I enjoyed myself but would probably never go back only because l never go to the same place twice.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Good food!

This is a decent hotel. You will be acknowledged by staff and the bartenders are friendly and the wait staff will remember who you are and give you excellent service. Where it is lacking is the beach. There are a lot of rocks and a lot of debris and seaweed. The beach is quite narrow and hard to go for a relaxing swim when you have to cross a lot of big rocks to get to a sandy part. There are a lot of animals around the resort, at first I thought this was cute and then I saw some animals coming  [... read more]inside and hanging around the dining area and sneaking into the kitchen.

Ocean Coral Riviera Cancun: Great resort. Wonderful people but understaffed

Rooms: Good size rooms for families, comfortable bed, proper amount of towels provided, clean facilities. Restaurants: Adequate choice of restaurants. Things can get crowded at the A la Carte's if you get there a tad late and you will have to be patient to get in. Service is very good and they try and accommodate you as much as possible. Buffets also get crowded and servers get overwhelmed. As a result drinks may be served after you are done your meals. There is no way to get drinks on your o [... read more]wn. Food: There is plenty of variety to choose from whether it is at the buffet or the a la carte. The kids menu is limited as is the same across all restaurants. Pools: The hotel has 4 pools. There is something for everyone whether you like to party or enjoy some quiet. Beach: Great beach. Seaweed is a problem across the Mayan coast but it is very tolerable. Staff try and keep the beaches clean.

Dreams Aventuras Riviera Maya: Good resort

Staff very friendly and helpful. Resort clean rooms clean. Loved the small pool by the ocean-it was great for snorkelling Omelettes in the morning were great. Loved that you didn't have to reserve for the resteraunts

Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park: Wonderful vacation

My kids are already asking if we can go back next year! My 12, and 17-year olds had a great time there. The activities that were included such as animal keeper, snorkelling, bike tours, walking tours, just to name a few kept us busy for the week. You really did not have to leave the resort. Rooms were great-we stayed in a newly renovated Eco superior room which I would highly recommend. The beds were very comfy. Food was good.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites: Wonderful & Relaxing- Family of 3 - Two Adults, One Teenager

The resort was huge and there was lots to see and do. Our room was a good size and the housekeeping service excellent. We found that the majority of the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The pool was very large. Overall the facilities were kept very clean. The food was okay, not excellent or bad just okay. As a vegetarian it was slightly challenging but manageable.
