Barcelo Maya Riviera: Superb Resort

This resort is beautiful. The decor is modern and tasteful with open spaces, plenty of seating and attentive staff. The pools were beautiful. There was activities every hour starting at 10am. Our room was spacious and luxurious. The buffet had many choices and varied every day. The a la cartes that we visited had amazing food.

Barcelo Maya Riviera: Really good resort

Overall this resort is excellent. New resort so all amenities and rooms are excellent ! Service during the day was fair not great. Still some work to do here! Restaurants excellent and food is really good . Room service was expensive and the wine lists were very over priced ! Over all liked the resort !

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Wonderful Vacation

We had a great vacation staying at the Barcelo Bavaro Palace in Punta Cana from Jan 11-18. The golf was amazing, the food was fantastic, the entertainment was decent and the rooms and property were gorgeous. Lots of things to do at this resort and would highly recommend this resort for couples or families.

Occidental Caribe: Best Ever Experience!!

The hotel, the staff and the food were all amazing!!! From Check in to Check out we were spoiled!! The rooms are nice and clean and the buffet and a la carte’s were all good! The pools were clean and lots of staff around. The entertainment crew were great at getting us up and having fun. I especially enjoyed meeting Miss Diana! I love the yoga sessions and the aqua fit. I can not wait to come back for another vacation!! My daughter and I both loved it!!!

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Above average resolt

The grounds are very nice, however the buildings and rooms are tired. The room we had was sub par until we were moved after some complaining. The toilet ran and had sewer smell and annoying flies from the drains. The food is very good and wait staff exceptional.

Occidental Tucancun: Good resort

Good resort but more of a 3 star . Room had ocean view large balcony . Furniture a little out date . Food was ok same food for lunch In buffet every day not much verity. Mexican restaurant was good .

Allegro Cozumel: Fantastic restort

Overall the resort was great! The staff were pleasant and friendly. Rooms were very nice and clean. No trouble to bring a small child. Always lots of activities to do for all ages! We will be back!!!!

Palma Real: Palm real

So I found staying at the palm Real location to be okay ... I really like the fact I was close to downtown where I got to experience meeting the locals. How they lived . There was couple different clubs that play live music such as the Beatles club 62 and Havana club I found these to be Incredibly entertaining...there are great shops like chocolate Shop The pottery shop and of course to Tobacco shop that was very close to the resort....The beach was two blocks down From my resorts (4 min walk) n [... read more]o one told me when I first arrived that there is a beach house were I could change and get drinks. they didn’t really show me around the place very well I found my room was missing a remote control key that was supposed to be towards my lockbox the AC stopped working the second day. They did offer me to switch rooms but I didn’t like the view or vibe I got from the room they wanted me to change to so I stayed in the i original had ...none of my clothes could dry because of the humidity I found every day was different with my cleaner one day I’d walk in and there’d be a flower with a beautiful towel set up then the next day there would be nothing I found it very hard to have water replaced in my refrigerator every day I’m a non-alcoholic drinker so having the bottles of water was really important for me they never restocked my mini fridge with any beer for people who came over I actually at the end of the stay had to go back and return my beach towels from my room I found that the service at the front desk be bit off The pool area was really great there was a lot of live music the men who hosted the pool Entertainment did a great Job. really know how to get the crowd Engaged and ready to party. I found most of the people staying at palm real Were younger generation from early 20s to late 20s there were a couple kids but not many at all. I was a little disappointed they had no Special dinners that where supposed be to different then normal three meals a day it was Included in my package, they told me they stoped doing the dinnerS that way. I was told to complaints to aircanada or booking agent. The servers for mealtime were absolutely amazing and very accommodating ... front desk bar and cleaner for the room was not the best I found ... I found the Havana Excursion to be great informational but very restrictive to what you actually like got to see and do. I learned a lot about the economy about the government about Cuba itself and its people overall it was a great experience I would rate my overall experience a 6.5 out of 10 For the resort itself But the actual trip all the people I met since I traveled solo was 10/10 I felt pretty self as well !

Barcelo Maya Palace: Beautifully Groomed resort

Very wide spread resort. A lot of walking The beach was pretty much lined off with rocks. Really need water shoes. Food was good. The Brassiere was amazing! Great food, great service. Beautiful clean rooms. But again, l mean a lot of walking...to every restaurant, markets, shows Was dissatisfied with the rocky beach. People in bare feet couldn’t walk proper to step in the water.

Occidental Arenas Blancas: Excellent resort!

Simply excellent, from the resort to the staff everything was excellent! What to say about the beach simply flawless it was a very memorable experience. A special thanks to staff Jessica, William and Ivan thank you

Barcelo Maya Palace: Amazing vacation!

Overall this resort is a perfect all-inclusive get-away and what you’d expect from a Barcelo property. The location was beautiful, the facilities were well cared for and the food was really good. I love the attention to detail and throughout the resort, there were many beautiful spaces created to help make your moments richer. For the most part, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The unfortunate exception was the person who checked us in. Not friendly or helpful. Didn’t exp [... read more]lain anything nor did she offer a beverage like all of the other families received. I believe she was new - perhaps a manager or trainer should have stayed close by. It was a negative introduction to the property that fortunately was short-lived. And really from that point forward it only got better. Our room was as it looked in the brochures and housekeeping did a great job maintaining it. With 6 resorts all-together, there was always something new to discover. And the restaurant variety was like most 5star resorts. Good food -great variety. The pools and the beach were immaculately taken care of and I felt very safe. Loved the mix of reef and beach for exploring. It was a wonderful week away for my girls and I. I would highly recommend this resort.

Barcelo Maya Riviera: Great Resort!

This massive new resort had only been open 3 weeks. Everything at the resort was bright and clean. The staff were great - everyone was friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to an ocean front swim out room which was beautiful! The food was excellent at all the restaurants! The service was wonderful!! There are 4 a al cartes in this section plus the buffet. The buffet is not open for dinners, so we needed to make reservations at the other restaurants or go to the buffet in one of the othe [... read more]r sections. You have access to all the facilities and restaurants in the other 5 sections. There are double decker buses to take you to the other sections or you can walk to them along the beach on wide walk ways that take you from one end of the Barcelo to the other, about 2 kms. The decor was very modern. The colours were light and muted. The halls and rooms are large. We did not feel crowded anywhere. Even the beds are oversized! There were lots of chairs and shade at the pools. The pools were a bit cold the first couple days we were there, but when the weather warmed up, the pools warmed up. There are lots of chairs at the beach, but the swimming is better over in front of the other sections. There is a massive new convention centre which hosts large groups. While we were there 2 groups came through - one of 700 and one of 1,000 delegates. The large group swamped the buffet for lunch. The other group we barely saw except in the lobby bar at night. Overall, we had a good vacation and would highly recommend this resort.

Barcelo Maya Grand Resort: Amazing resort

The resort was beautiful, clean and well kept. It was the best resort we've ever stayed at. A great place for all ages. Dining rooms and restaurants were very impressive. The staff was very professional. Absolutely loved our ocean front room. I felt comfortable and safe.

Occidental Costa Cancun: Not for everyone

It is a very nice very clean hotel with amazing staff, they are the best and very good to great food. The standard rooms are the smallest I have ever seen. The terrace room we upgraded to is more like a typical room you would expect to get. Very nice and updated. The building is set designed in a way that more than half the rooms have a poor to very poor view. It is not ocean front. The beach is very small, the size of a tennis court at the mouth of the lagoon, marina. No turquoise water or  [... read more]waves. More like a murky lake. The pool is very nice. We like the ocean so it wasn’t for us.

Allegro Cozumel: Second time just as good

Second time at allegro in 3 years. Not much has changed. Staff works really hard. Meals were ok. Dinner buffet needs work but breakfast and lunch we're good. The shows at night were awesome. Very entertaining

Allegro Cozumel: Great time at the Allegro Cozumel!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Allegro in Cozumel. The food was excellent at the buffet with lots of variety for breakfast and supper. The a la carte restaurants were amazing, especially the Mexican and Asian options. The beach was nice - white sand and blue water. We were able to do a bit of snorkeling right in front of the resort. However, if you really enjoy snorkeling, you will want to book a tour. We really appreciated the jacuzzi by the beach and would often sit in there to watch the su [... read more]nset over the water. The entertainment staff did a great job organizing various games and activities that we had fun participating in. We really enjoyed the night time shows, particularly the circus show and the break dancing. The karaoke night was also a lot of fun. Our room was nice and very clean. The only setback of the room was that because of the grass roofs, there is not very much noise separation and we could easily hear what was happening outside our room. Overall, we had a wonderful time at this resort and would definitely go back again and recommend to others.

Occidental Costa Cancun: Wonderful Staff and Service!

This hotel is perfect for someone who just wants to relax and take it easy in a one-stop, intimate setting. The resort is very contained, 3 a la carte restaurants surround a lovely pool area, and the buffet restaurant looks out over the ocean. The buffet was delicious (omelette bar every morning was my personal favourite) and the staff was extremely friendly, fast and gracious. The beach area is very small and confined, so if you're an ocean lover and prefer to frolick in the waves on your vacat [... read more]ions, this is not the place for you. If you love to sit in the sun poolside, this resort is perfect. The resort keeps you entertained too. They would host a bingo game every day at 1pm by the pool, and every night the hotel had a show - circus, magician, Jersey Boys - it was great. I would recommend this to any family or couple or friend group looking to relax. The atmosphere is a perfect mix between fun and relaxing. Final note - I had a massage while I was there and it was outstanding. Some hotel massages can be extremely average, and this one felt professional and upscale.

Occidental Costa Cancun: An amazing experience and resort! A++++

We loved the Occidental Costa Cancun for many reasons. The service was incredible (room, restaurants, front desk, bartenders - you name it!). We were impressed with how clean the resort was at all times. The food (buffet and al la carte restaurants) were all fantastic. A great location on the Cancun hotel strip - easy to catch a cab or a bus into the downtown core. All around, we loved our experience and we're very sad to head home. 10/10!!!

Occidental Papagayo: Sensational and exceptional. Fully deserving of all five stars.

In every respect. As a brand new facility, built on a gentle slope, the service is excellent and the food is exquisite. Only 165 rooms and although it was full when we were there never felt it. The buffet restaurant features theme cuisine nightly from Costa Rican to Mexican, Peruvian, Caribbean, French, international, and chefs surprise. Hardly want to break away to the specialty restaurants although the Italian restaurant is also excellent. Beaches in Costa Rica are all public. The hotel bea [... read more]ch is pleasant. Beach exploration is a passion on this bay and in this area. More spectacular beaches are 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes away. Transportation easily arranged. Unforgettable experience. Flawless.

Barcelo Maya Palace: excellent resort

this is a huge complex which now contains 6 hotels of which the Palace is the second newest. It is very well maintained and the food is good to very good. The buffet restaurants offer lots of choice for even the most selective or discerning palates. The specialty restaurants (Brazilian, French etc) are ok but not high end. The swimming pools are first class as are the facilities for the kids of all ages. We have been to this group of hotels many times. The Palace is much the same as the ot [... read more]hers but we now look forward to trying the latest Barcelo at this location - which only opened in December 2019.
