I have stayed at a few different all-inclusives in Mexico and this was mediocre. The staff was pretty friendly, but definetely did not try to please as much as other places in Mexico. Rooms were sub par. The decorations were dated and bedding was worn out. Beds were horribly uncomfortable, even for Mexico. Food was okay, but plentiful. I didn't... more

I have high expectations of the places that I stay at, but I have to tell you, I have nothing to complain about. It’s not the kind of place where you will get pampered, but if you are looking for a good family vacation at a clean friendly middle-class hotel with good service, decent food, great beach and lots of... more

I have almost nothing good to say about this place. I will start with the room. The bed was a king. The bed spread had cigarette burns in it. The bed itself was so bad that I could sleep no more the 4 -5 hours on it. It was so uneven that I can safely say it was the worst... more

We stayed at the Barcelo Maya Beach from April 26th to May 3rd. Overall, we thought the resort was great! It was definitely one of the best vacations we've had!!! We booked our trip throught a local travel agent. Check-in was smooth; we were given the room we asked for; our luggage was brought up to our room within minutes.... more

I just returned from a 6 night stay at the Barcelo Maya Beach resort. We arrived on Monday, April 20 and left Sunday, April 26. When we checked in it was slightly annoying because they gave us the wrong room. We paid for a jr. suite and instead we were given a regular room. It was decorated very nicely, however,... more

My sister and I returned from our 7-night vacation at the Barcelo Maya Beach resort down in the Mayan Riviera last Friday. We stayed from April 17 to April 24 and I have to say that this vacation was pretty great. We booked the trip through Signature Vacations (thank goodness I passed on the Conquest ones) two days before our... more

What a place! April 16-23, 2009, my husband, 9 yr old son and I took our first family vacation to Mexico. There is really no reason to leave the resort with the amount of activites offered. Many pools and 2 wonderful water-slide areas for the kids. The Buffet was wonderful ~ food and service ~ Pedro, we miss you already.... more

My new wife and i just returned from a fantastic one-week vacation (April 17-24) at the Barcelo Maya Beach resort, highlighted by our beach side wedding ceremony and celebration. All told, 42 of us made the trip from cold Edmonton to the Mayan Riviera. Simply put, we were all extremely impressed with the resort, the rooms, the food, the beach... more

Lots of good things to say, but also a few real disappointments: This resort consists of 5 (or is it 4) linked hotels within one complex. Each hotel has its own buffet restaurant, a la carte restaurants, pools etc. There are several theaters for live entertainment. The hotels vary in their price and amenities. You get more the more you... more
