Barcelo Maya Colonial: The Barcelo#1

What an experience The Barcelo was highly recommend taking a trip there! The resort was very clean the staff was extremely friendly and the resort was up to date and impeccable! Highly recommend taking making it your next vacation destination

Occidental Caribe: An O.K hotel!

Amazing beach! The room was not the best and all elevators were not working but I was so happy with the beach I didn't care about the room or anything else. Service at the hotel and restaurants are good. Food was good but I wish there were more vegetables offered.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Beautiful Resort

The resort is beautiful the grounds and rooms are amazing the only problem is the food is not tasty the staff at the restaurant ignore you if you are not Spanish speaking and the staff in the buffet area and a la carts don’t speak any English also they also had an international night where they did dancing from Dominican from Spain from Brazil from the USA but nothing from canada I guess it’s a small world

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Barcelo resorts were amazing!!

The hotels, all 5 of them were clean and lovely! Staff worked so hard and almost of them were very helpful and friendly. I'd definitely recommend to anyone. So much to do . Never a dull moment. 5 STARS BARCELO 🌟

Barcelo Solymar: Stay Away. Bad experience at Barcelo Solymar

Vacation Date Nov. 25th to Dec. 2/23. Changed rooms 3 times in the main bldg. Had 1 beach towel (received 3rd day) and 1 bath towel slightly larger than a hand towel for the whole week. Laundry problem. Had 1 sheet on the bed that did not fit properly and had to take the sheet off the 2nd bed for a top sheet that I used for the entire week. I killed 3 large cockroaches I found in the bathroom area. There was no hot water for a shower the last 2 days. Toiletries are scarce so please bring ever [... read more]ything with you including extra kleenex and toilet paper. Food is basic but everyone knows this. The beach is beautiful and location is good for going into town. Issued formal complaint to the hotel, Sunwing rep. and TripCentral.

Barcelo Solymar: the solymar was my favorite resort years ago.now it has become a 2star at best,horrible place.sad to say but i will never go back

busted light bulbs ,black grime on bathtub . limited food no drinks no wine no pop. dirty pools closed restaurants. for the last 25 years I have been traveling to cuba 3 times a year and this has got to be the worse experience yet. I will not recommend this place to my worst enemies. very sad😪

Occidental Punta Cana: 7.5/10.....

I'll keep it simple and concise... Beach is great, not a rock or shell. Water clear and warm. Never calm but not rough. Just wave off vendors. They keep trying but aren't super pushy. Resort clean and visually appealing. (some minor details in room, but nothing horrible) Pools nice and water temp perfect. Food was good overall. Pizza bar was good feature. A la carts mostly a joke as usual, but it is what it is for the money you pay. Coffee not good as usual in caribbean LOL (get coffee in  [... read more]lobby bar to go... its much better and hot) Staff were pleasant overall but most speak little English. Put time share staff in their place from the beginning and ask them to respect your wish to be left alone, otherwise they will keep trying. Had to complain about one outside vendor who was getting rude and manager made him leave property. Not much entertainment wise when we were there. However...The Circus show was really good. Like a mini Circ de soleil... Overall glad we went there and would recommend.

Barcelo Solymar: This our 3rd visit.

Beach and sun are a given, the BEST anywhere. Hotel in great need of repair. Main lobby only ONE toilet functioning, and 2 toilets no locks on doors, one out of service and they are at the end of the building. The toilets by the bar, haven’t been is service for years. Of all the elevators there, after 14 days, Two worked, then one, and on the day of departure no elevator functioning. We changed rooms a few times to find a bungalow with everything working. Food….. poor selections no baco [... read more]n ever at breakfast, no fresh salads, coffee shortages, often they ran out, no wine only at Specialty, , and even then rationed. Very disappointed…..we’ve overlooked many things over the years, but this year was the worst. No real repairs done in years, the waitresses did their best, working staff in the buffets worked hard… I’m sorry to be so honest as most of us always overlook what’s happening, just to keep the staff working.

Occidental Caribe: Unexpected Gem!

We booked here by accident, one word difference...oops! So how did it go? Food - I found the buffet itself to be the best with a variety of foods, hard working staff and a warm friendly hostess (ill call her Flo, first 3 letters of her name). Grounds - were very nice and constantly being taken care of, from painting to grass cutting. Rooms - comfy bed, high ceilings, balcony views..so what if I had to tighten a screw by hand or jiggle the toilet handle once in awhile. Maids were friendly and bus [... read more]y, nice job ladies! Bathroom/shower were great. Pools - very nice, no complaints. Beach - awesome, little chopey at times but it made it fun. Lots of palm trees to grab some shade and plenty of chairs to go around. Front desk - my man Martinez always hustling for people in several languages, he was hard working and accommodating, give this man a raise! Bartenders Juan & Sandy were friendly and knew how to handle the crowd. Overall 8/10, much better experience then a lot of reviews I read. Minor complaints, other entitled travelers and mosquitos only in the theater. Oh, Tony the Air Transat rep on the resort was friendly and informative too. In booking incorrectly and initially trying to swap hotels with air Transat was a joke and not helpful, the hotels made stronger attempts to accommodate but we ended up staying here and were pleasantly surprised. I'd go again. PS we did the monkeyland excursion, it was great, thx Kevin our guide. There was a coffee farm too, with a funny informative gent giving the presentation. Offered reasonably priced alcohol, coffee, cream etc with no hounding, impressed. Until next vacation, don't forget your drinking cups ✌️...

Barcelo Solymar: Lovely resort but many things missing

Great staff,happy and grateful. 1 of 5 elevators working for over a week. Check out day, no elevators working for guests: One toilet on the entire main floor with a door That locked ! My room 1362 had no working room phone , No remote for tv; no working fridge: I stayed here twice before in a bungalow with better working amenaties:

Barcelo Maya Palace: Amazing Resort!

My room was cleaned well, bed made, linens changed during my week’s stay, towels always fresh. The services were impeccable, the artwork beautiful, the buffet variety of foods and cuisines mouth watering. The restaurant, Caribe was my favorite! The beach and pool area kept clean and beautiful view of the clear blue waters. I hope to return again soon.

Barcelo Maya Palace: Au paradis

A beautiful site, a great beach and good food . Great people. Process to reserve A la carte restos has to improve. The beach is like paradise. Reservation processes for catamaran and restaurants is very inefficient

Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Amazing resort

The hotel was so clean , staff were very friendly and accommodating . I loved the option to have access to the other resorts as well and their restaurants and facilities. The beaches and pools were amazing and well maintained and the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend and come back !

Barcelo Huatulco: Wonderful Vacation!

As this was our first time at an All Exclusive Resort we were not sure what to expect. The Barcelo resort was beautiful- the staff were amazing, the food was great and the pool and beach were fantastic! We didn't have a single complaint and would return again in a heartbeat. Thank you for such a relaxing time!

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Beautifull resort we have been there at least 10,times ,rooms were clean, bed was comfortable.

Grounds and room were well kept , great buffets and a la cart dining was great ,only one miner problem , the room bar fridge in our room did not work , but was replaced with in a couple of hours ,only negative was long delays at baggage pick up at the airport waiting almost 2 hours for my wifes,s walker.and lack of decent food for purchase on the flight.

Barcelo Solymar: Beautiful, clean and friendly

The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I had trouble walking and the staff helped me with my dinner plates and servings. Wish there were more choices for Dinning in the hotel. Not happy with Buffett. Food was average but tasty. No bacon lots of pork servings. Fish was served with bones and that is a big turn off. The main Lobby still haven’t fixed the bathroom and this has been since 2020. Last day all Elevators were down. Beautiful surrounding and location close to the beach.

Allegro Playacar: Allegro Playa Del Carmen.

The hotel was small,but everything was close by. But was surprised we had to pay an environmental tax. Think it was 28 pesos per night. The location was great it was a 20 minute walk into 5th Ave Playa downtown. By taxi it was. 5 minute drive and $13 US$. The rooms were small either 1 king bed ,or 2 double beds, but very clean,and the beds were very comfortable. You also got coffee, beer, soft drinks, water in your room every day.They had 2 pools, one had a swim up bar, and activities, the o [... read more]ther one was a bit quieter. They were separated by the beach restaurant. But both were just steps to the beach which was lovely. Drink service was available when sitting at the pool, or the beach. The staff were lovely,and would help you if they could. The food was just okay! The best was lunch down at the pool area. Breakfast and dinner were okay, not great. But you won’t starve. Not many staff members spoke English! If you like small resorts this was great.
