Barcelo Maya Palace: Barcelo Maya Palace - Fabulous Resort!

My husband and 2 boys (in their 20's) stayed at Barcelo Maya Palace last week. Although it rained every day we had an amazing stay due to the resort being outstanding. Restaurants both buffet and a la carte were very very good. Beach was beautiful and very much enjoyed swimming with turtles and other marine life. Our rooms were very very large with fabulous bathrooms. They were clean and well serviced. Would not hesitate to recommend and revisit this property. Thank you David and Tri [... read more]p Central for booking our latest vacation.

Occidental Arenas Blancas: Hotel o.k.

This hotel is not a luxurious hotel, but it's o.k. Near downtown Varadero, at few minutes by walk. Room, restaurant, pool and gardens were clean. Service at restaurant and bars was ok as well. The buffet, ok as well. Beach and sea. Wow ! It's Varadero. I had a problem of leaking water from the top of the bathroom in the middle of the night. And I had a really good service by changing of room on the spot. More, the day after, in the new room, I had ants problem in the bathr [... read more]oom. And again, they change for a much better room again without the need of arguing. I really appreciated. In conclusion, I recommend, but with keeping in mind to not have big expectations. It's a low cost hotel, and it's o.k..

Barcelo Maya Palace: Barcelo is fine!

Food is excellent and resort offers something for everyone. Lane swimming and gym so you can maintain your routine lots of beach space. Comfortable rooms and nice shower. Would like to suggest that WIFI be included as standard instead of paying as an additional cost

Barcelo Maya Grand Resort: Amazing scuba diving!

The hotel was great but The scuba diving the hotel offers from the beach was amazing. Ended up booking an excursion then upgraded to get my scuba certification. The staff was absolutely phenomenal and the water was perfect. The beach was picture perfect and the water was super clear. Snorkelling near the edge you saw sea turtles and sting rays. Overall the best experience I could’ve asked for.

Barcelo Bavaro Beach: Great Resort

This was our second time at the Barcelo Bavaro Beach Resort and we intend to return again. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The food is fabulous at all the restaurants especially the specialized ones like the Japanese, Italian, and the Chez. Staff are friendly and very accomadating, especially the "Premier" staff. Love that we can enjoy the adults only section and visit the family section for other activities. Room was located directly on beach with an exceptional view and close to the p [... read more]ool. It was perfect for us and what we requested. It was an amazing location. Rooms are clean and comfortable. We will return.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Unique environment at Xcaret hotel

Spectacular jungle environment exquisitely maintained. Excellent food and service. Friendly staff. Need reservations for tennis courts and specialized restaurants. The hard surface tennis court needs to be resurfaced and a tennis pro should be available during peak periods. We enjoy the Xcaret park and all the activities.

Occidental Punta Cana: Second time!

After loving our stay last year at the Occidental Punta Cana we decided to return again this year. The rooms are large, renovated and clean. Towels and mini fridge are replaced and restocked daily. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. We were there Dec. 11- 21 and never had an issue finding chairs on the beach or around the pool. The food was delightful with a great variety. One of the highlights was walking through the grounds at night with the breathtaking Christmas lights w [... read more]rapped around all the trees. The staff was pleasant and took the time to remember us and our drinks preferences. We could walk forever on the beach that was cleared of seaweed every morning. We would be happy to return again next year!

Allegro Cozumel: Perfect Resort For Nature Lovers

Such a great resort, this was our 5th time going here. It has everything you need if your a single couple looking to have fun and even more stuff to do with the family, great activities for the kids and the water park is so much fun. The grounds are amazingly landscaped, friendly staff, beautiful beach and lots of activities.

Occidental Arenas Blancas: Good resort, horrible food

Beaches are amazing, best I’ve ever experienced. The staff is very friendly & knowledgeable. The rooms AC was not good, so we were pretty hot most nights. Big con is the food, below average, especially the buffet. Often had to eat outside the resort. Overall good experience.

Palma Real: Great value for the price

We loved our stay at the Allegro Palma Real. I recommend for those who like to walk outside the hotel, since It’s one block from the main strip. The hotel is clean, the food is good even if it’s a little bit redundant. The pool is fair and the beach is amazing. The personnel is very nice. I intened to go back since for the price it’s the best value I ever had.

Barcelo Maya Palace: Beautiful 5* resort

The resort is beautiful, speckless, the staff and service is great. Food was amazing. Beach is beautiful with white sand, but like in every resort in this area it seats on a lime stone so it is not as soft like in other Caribbean destinations. Snorkling is amazing, sea turtles are right there every day and they will come and say hi to you if you snorkel a little further away from the shore - don't take bananas or other food with you, as they can attack you. Snorkling around the pier is a must do [... read more] as well - lots of fish out there. The resort is huge, and it is a fair distance to get anywhere. In fact they have a shuttle, double decker bus running through the resort. Rooms are beautiful, spacious and clean. Room service is great. With access to other parts of the resort you get to experience so much more i.e. free dolphin show every day, access to other water parks and kids pools (there are so many of them with two biggest at Palace and Colonial sections of the resort), casino, shopping mall and other paid attractions. The only complaint I have is the luck of evening entertainment. Other than a show at 9:30 every evening, the Palace section is really dead. There are no shows for the kids earlier in the evening. We did not feel like going to the discotheque every day and would appreciate a general hanging out area were you can listen to Mexican music, maybe dance while enjoying a drink after or before the show. The lobby bar is very formal and is not very inviting. My second biggest complaint is the background music. We stayed there in the second week of December and all they played was Kenny G christmas music - literally 24/7 from every speaker in the resort, even along the pathways along the beach. That was the most dreadful thing - I will never want to listen to his music again. I wish they played Mexican music instead. Overall it is a beautiful, very well managed resort minus the evening entertainment and Kenny G!

Barcelo Maya Grand Resort: Amazing resort!

There is so much to discover at this wonderful resort. The setting, the state of the art fitness centre, the friendly staff and excellent food. What's not to like? The only down side is the front desk that is very slow.

Occidental Tucancun: Good resort

This was a lovely resort, not really big, but very nice. The staff were outstanding. Geraldo and his staff at the buffet closest to the pools were very welcoming and were genuinely happy to help and take a moment to chat. I cannot remember all of the staff names, but they were great. At the Italian restaurant a Mr. Chan gave us excellent service. The pools were lovely and the beach unbelievable. We even saw baby turtles. My only negative was the front counter. Very slow and not terribly friendly [... read more]. Our key card had to be activated daily, and sometimes more than once a day. I really did enjoy this resort.

Barcelo Huatulco: Great place

Everything was great a few minor problems that were corrected as soon as we mention then. Highly recommend. We will return. Very clean, well maintained. Great view Awesome wait staff especially Fernando Worked hard to make sure our stay was top notch

Occidental Papagayo: Best resort

Very professional hotel. The food was extremely delicious. The staff were fun, again professional and a stress free environment. Didn’t feel stressed out or had any questions or concerned. I highly recommend this resort! 10 on 10 👍

Barcelo Maya Colonial: Great resort

Very long check in, what made us very sad. Great hotel otherwise. Good la carte restaurants and good entertainment group. Great girls with at kids club. My daughter loved going over there. I change my car every day because it didn't lock a door.

Barcelo Karmina: An okay resort

Room were very spacious, bed was hard. Food was mediocre, some nights it was better than others the drinks were always good Resort grounds are nice and easy to get around, the pools were nice and never had a problem finding a lounger

Barcelo Solymar: Solymar : 4 stars in 1970

Disappointing with all. From service to rooms. Yes rooms I had to change 3 times. First room no ac and no handle at the balcony door. Second no hot water. Third bearable. Not clean and with a strange smell. Avoid at all cost

Barcelo Bavaro Palace: Can’t wait to go back!

This resort was immaculately kept. Guest service, comfort, quality assurance and happiness was made a priority. Food and variety was fantastic. Room was very nice and clean. So much to do on the resort , we were never board.

Occidental Caribe: Compact

Loved this resort. Layout is my fav, easy to get around. Gorgeous beach...but a lil too wavy to swim sometimes. Loved Pizza place and Tokio. We were premium level and the beds were awesome. We didn't catch any shows or go to the disco. Just stayed in lobby mostly lol.
