Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Experience at barcelo maya beach resort

The only thing I liked about this resort is the cleanliness of the room . The people who are working at the resort are friendly and helpful. But it is a mixed of , adult and family with children little bit too crowded at the swimming pool and and at beach area. Also I am not much impressed about food. The alcohol drinks are the cheapest grade so I couldn’t drink at all.

Allegro Cozumel: Nice resort

We enjoyed our stay here the ground's are beautiful the staff from the front desk were very friendly and helpful.The rooms are small but clean and beds are comfortable The food was good always something to eat. Breakfast and lunch were the best . Dinner time was abit of a hit and miss . But still ok if you got there early. Did not like the pool bar it's connected to the lunch area and service was very slow . So would go to the beach bar for drinks where they were fast and knew exactly how to mak [... read more]e a good strong drink ! The beach was also ok alot of coral all around in the sand but plenty of chairs and lots of shade if that is what you were looking for .The cleaning staff was great ! big shout out to all the ladies that work so hard to clean all the rooms.Too be honest the entire staff at this hotel are great! Happy friendly and helpful. Entertainment is good at the shows and the entertainment staff at the pool are a lot of fun . We definitely enjoyed our stay will we be back you never know but we do love Cozumel.

Barcelo Maya Palace: Beautiful Clean Resort

We really enjoyed our stay at Barcelo Maya Palace. We had a room on the 3rd floor near the back of the hotel in Michoacan Building. It was very quiet just noise from lots of lively birds. Which just added to the vacation vibe. I do wish the beds were more comfortable. I am picky though! They were better than other resorts I have stayed in.There is a stop at the back of this building for the double decker bus which is free and will take you around to the other Barcelo resorts. Staying at the  [... read more]Palace you can enjoy an a La Carte every night if you want to. You get to enjoy the other "inner four" resorts as well as their bars and restaurants. They are all similar in style Caribe, Tropical, Beach, Colonial. The Palace is a step up from them. I find it has a grander lobby/lobby bar as well as wider walkways in the room buildings. Service was amazing! Drinks were yummy. I was able to enjoy drinks I would make myself at home like a Camperi Spritz ... The breakfast buffet was the best. Lunch and Dinner buffet were very "resort feel" but we always found something to eat. We preferred the a la cartes. At the palace there is an adult only pool. I like things quiet and this was a great option. We rented a Cabana for the day for around $20 USD. The adults only pool has it's own bar and bathroom as well as loungers and water loungers. I'm generally a beach person I think this resort is great if you have both beach and pool people. You can have a lounger at the back of the huge pool and the beach is right on the other side of the walkway. There is also a sports pool if you want to do laps and a great kids pool. First time to Mexico and would definitely go back to this resort.

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Beautiful Resort

We had a wonderful stay at Barcelo Maya Colonial. Rooms were very comfortable. The balcony was lovely. We made coffee each morning in the room which was quite good. The food in the buffet and À la carte all great. Our favourites were Kyoto and Palmeras. Service was amazing in all areas! We were able to find beach chairs each day at any time in front of Captain Morgan restaurant. The beach wasn’t great for swimming right there but you could walk about 30 seconds towards the AO to swim in th [... read more]e ocean or to the pool right beside the restaurant. We crossed the road to Chikin Ha & enjoyed the beautiful cenotes there. Miniput golf also fun and free during the day. There’s so many things to do at this resort. Our week was full of adventures! Highly recommend the Barcelo Maya Colonial.

Occidental Cozumel: Amazing hotel

Very well kept inside and outside. Beautiful landscaping. I would like see better food labelling as I have a severe shellfish allergy . I recommend having a separate grill for cooking non fish items as cross contamination can be lethal for those with allergies.

Barcelo Maya Palace: My peaceful place

The staff are polite and extremeley helpful. Meals are good, you have lots of options. All areas are kept clean, pools are awesome too. This was m second time there. So I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Occidental Papagayo: Just okay

The actual hotel is nice, not 5 stars at all. The buffet is not even up to a 3 star hotel. Yes, you found something to eat, but not what we were expecting. A la carte were nice, but hard to get in to unless you like 8pm reservations. The pools are kept clean, the beach is nice, but expect to do alot of walking to get a drink or go to the bathroom. Rooms are nice, just don't expect any water, pop etc. After asking everyday multiple times we would get some around 6:30 pm. We even left tips.  [... read more] Hoping that would help. Would i recommend it, no, for the food, and nothing against the staff, some were fantastic, some you knew did not want to help. Idea's, put a cooler cart on the beach that has water, pop and beer, alot of people would appreciate that.

Barcelo Maya Palace: It is an awesome resort all around.

I thought it was a very well kept resort with great employees. The restaurants within the hotel were fabulous. One small issue we had was that we put our “Sleep & Enjoy” tag on our hotel room door knob and the maid still knocked on our door early in the morning, at approximately 8:30 a.m. after a very late night of travel and booking in. This happened more than once during our stay. I had to get up out of bed to answer the door. Just a few items neglected in the maid service, like no bar s [... read more]oap left, but she took the “used” bar we had left on the soap dish. I always left a tip as well. Overall, it was a fantastic resort to stay at.

Barcelo Maya Beach Resort: Amazing Resort, Except For the Beach

We enjoyed staying at this resort. The beds were super comfortable, the food was pretty good and we loved being able to go to numerous different restaurants. I also loved being able to order martinis from the restaurants and the lobby bar! When we had a problem with our air conditioning, they fixed it right away, which we really appreciated. We spent most of our time at the pool at the Barcelo May Caribe resort, which was livelier with music and entertainment. The pool at our resort h [... read more]ad more younger children. Everything was great at our resort, except for the beach. The were a lot of large boulders and numerous smaller rocks on the ocean floor, especially where you first try to get into the water, which made getting into and out the water to be very anxiety-provoking (even wearing water shoes). We ended up only going to the beach one day because of this, and I normally love to constantly be on the beach and swim in the ocean. If you are looking for a nice beach and want to leisurely swim in the ocean, this is not the resort for you!

Occidental Caribe: Not a 4 star resort

Pools and beach are amazing That’s where it ends with this resort. A/C room was broken and 28 during day 27 a night. It was 29 outside Food on the buffet is worse than Cuba Cold/no variety. Smallest fruit selection I’ve ever seen To book the restaurants you need to be in line on Sunday at 6:30am or forget about it. Only book Sunday to Sunday so if you arrive Monday Tuesday Wednesday you’re out of luck. Not enough pool/beach chairs which is a disaster I have stayed at other occidental  [... read more]resorts and they were fantastic. This was awful. Show starts at 10pm, the bed sheets were supposed to be white but they were brownish white. Sometimes no hot water or cold water. The lunch pizza above the poolside buffet was great.

Occidental Papagayo: Beautiful resort

Great resort! Beautiful view from the common areas. Escpecially the lobby! Specialty restaurants were delicious . Pool areas seemed to be in full sun all day. Some shaded areas would have been appreciated! Only complaint the view from our room was directly into palm trees. The ocean was out there but we couldn’t see it! Also had requested 2 beds got 1. I had booked early in the season & was surprised to get such a poor site. Overall it was a great. Vacation. Did not find the hills to be a pro [... read more]blem. You could walk or catch a ride. Side trips were great! Really enjoyed seeing sloths @ the sanctuary!

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: GREAT RESORT

ROOMS WERE GREAT. SERVICE WAS PERFECT. ENJOYED BEACH AND POOL. GOLF WAS FUN AND CHALLENGING WITH THE WIND. ATE WELL AND WILL DEFINATELY GO BACK. STAFF WAS ATTENTIVE AND WILLING TO HELP IN ALL WAYS. VERY EASY GETTING AROUND THE RESORT AND MANY DIFFERENT PLACES TO EAT.

Barcelo Maya Palace: After the sixth time it still gets better

If you want to stay at the most beautiful resort in the mayan reviera. with the best service, the best food, the best scenery, the best beach, the best of the best of the best.. Yeah this is the place for you.

Barcelo Maya Palace: High quality resort, great spot

I will keep this short. This resort is excellent in all aspects. Attractive and well-kept grounds, helpful staff, amazing food at multiple restaurants including each of the a la cartes, big enough to be able to spread out and find the experience you want. We loved our week and would rate this place 10/10. Thanks Barcelo Maya.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Great resort

Staff were all pleasant. They need to monitor the loungers at the pool and the beach area for reserved spots that are not used. We observed people reserving loungers at the pool and the beach area for a number of hours and not use them leaving people not being able to take advantage of relaxing at the pool or the beach.

Occidental Papagayo: Mostly Good

The grounds and facilities were excellent. The only issue was with the view from our patio. It looked directly into palm trees and bushes which were there to cover the waste processing tanks. The smell/odor was especially bad in the afternoons and always drove us inside. Probably the worst view at the complex. For this reason we will not be returning to Occidental Papagayo.

Barcelo Maya Tropical: Beautiful resort

Beautiful!The staff was friendly and courteous!The resort was clean and maintained!The food was very good!The Pools were clean and had some daily activities.Had premium alcohol!Have great stores...restaurants...jewelry store which i was impressed!It had pretty well everything on that resort!Well done!I would have no hesitation going back!!!!

Royal Hideaway Playacar: Great Resort to relax

The check in was quick and personalized but our room was not quite ready/available even if it was about 2pm in the afternoon. After a quick bite by the beach where the main breakfast/lunch is held, you notice right away that this is going to be fun to eat here every day! The view of the white sandy beach and turquoise water is just amazing. Finally around 3h30, still no room, this is quick fixed fixed and go to the room. The accomodation is nice although it does feel a little dated it was ver [... read more]y comfortable and spacious. The balcony facing the back alley and the Resort next door is definately not what I was looking for to relax after a day at the beach. Tried to get another room with a better view but our concierge (Carlos) was not able to work this out so we stayed it our allocated room for our 2-week stay. The grounds are well manicured with something like 4 pools and rivers throughout, very nice. The main pools are located close to the main restaurant and the beach where it is very hard to find a lounger past 9am. Although there is a sign that is very clear about not being able to through your stuff at 5am and show up at 2 in the afternoon (a little sarcastic here but you get it right?) People still do it because this rule is absolutely not inforced, so why bother? Anyways, further to this, quite a few loungers were reserved every day (with signs from the Resort no less). Good thing I would rather be at the beach where there were enough loungers there even if you show up at 10am after breakfast. The best part here was those mini tent-like sun shades that you could pull over the loungers to hide from the scorching sun. Well done. We also liked the fact that there a quite a few palm trees on the beach to get some shade as the day progresses. Meals: All breakfast can be taken at the main restaurant for buffet or at the Spices restaurant (above the main one) where things are "a la carte". Lunch can be done at both, at the main restaurant, you can select either the buffet or "a la carte" or a combination of both. Suppers have to be via a reservation with the help of your Building Concierge. This was an easy process although you can't always pick your prefered timing (from 18h00 to 22h00), for us, supper at 9pm is a little late! 6 Restaurant of various food selection and dress code. 2 of them requires gentlemen to wear long pants, collared shirt/Polo shirt and closed shoes, the others will accept shorts and shirt There is some entertainment during the day, mainly at the main pools, and in the evening at the main bar but don't expect a grandiose affaire! Unless you attend the Mexican show, held every Saturday evening. Because we arrived on a Saturday, we could not go that night andhad to settle for the following Saturday, because we were there for 2 weeks. Had we been there only for 7 days, we would have missed this. It is some kind of dinner and show and it was quite enjoyable. For the return, there are no Travel Representatives or Travel Binders to help you navigate the transport/pick-up time to the Airport, make sure you get this from your travel agent ahead of time as missing/no pick up of transport can get quite expensive by taxi for the 1 hour ride to Cancun. All in all, we really enjoyed this relaxing vacation and would recommend but if you are looking for action and games, this may not be the best place for you.

Occidental Caribe: Pleasantly surprised!

The facility was very clean. They accommodated my food allergies (gluten). A wonderful choice of food for all three meals. The Japanese à la cart was fabulous! We have been to the DR 15 times-first time beef was not an option on the grill. Only pork, chicken and calamari. Some of the bars had watered down drinks. Our room was not fully stocked-you had to request things. Other patrons did not have that issue. We will definitely return, excellent beach!

Barcelo Maya Tropical: Resort was very clean!

Everything was lovely, Nicolle referred the Barcelo Tropical and did not mislead us it was what she said. As we have stayed at the Bahai we did miss the entertainment at nights that they hold outside with different people playing guitar and singing. The resort itself did not disappoint with rooms and food. Very good! Entertainment we missed. Thanks again to your team for another beautiful resort!
