All in all it was a good time had by all. Remember you are in a foreign country. Beware of the Barcelo employees who are selling adult colored wrist bands on the beach for $150. Security then shows up afterwards and bust the minors who are wearing them. An additional $250. fine. Beautiful grounds, good food and great entertainment. Travel... More

Just got back from the Barcelo Maya Beach resort...we were a group of 8 women from the US and Canada. We totally lucked out with our resort...best beach of the Barcelo group. The beach is not for someone with knee or hip problems, though. There is a 2 foot drop getting out into the water that is very difficult when... More

This visit was overall better than our first visit because of our room placement and the fact that we knew the grounds. The room was beautiful, bed comfortable, maid staff wonderful, and the building was in excellent repair. The food at the snack bars and buffets is not excellent, but anybody should be able to find something to satisfy their... More

For our first time in Mexico this resort was perfect. When we checked in we asked to switch from a double bed to a king size. They switched us at no extra cost. A king sized bed makes a world of difference. The rooms a a fair size with a simple bar fridge that they keep stocked. We stayed in... More

You will read many reviews about this property, however coming from a travel agents perspective.. Any negative reviews must be from people who only travel to Sandals where you are pampered and have a servant or live in a bubble. This property has one of the best beaches in the Mayan, tons of food variety, great beach grills and swim... More

Just spent a week at this hotel. The only reasons I didn't rate it as a 5 are because of the size (too big for me), the theater entertainment was so-so and the beach was rocky. Premises were very clean. The food and service were EXCELLENT. We had one head waitress - RENEE - cute as a button but also... More

First off, I am a trip advisor nazi. I checked this site daily before and after choosing our resort. I have read all reviews, laughed, cheered, and scrutinized the good and the bad. Second, we are not prissy people. I won't find things to criticize, they must be very upsetting in order for me to speak up. Now let me... More

Don't get me wrong, the place is beautiful, the beach, the grounds, the pools the rooms are all good. The food and service in the buffets, great. Service at the bars and front desk........for lack of a more accurate word........sucked. The al la carte reservation policy is completely stupid, couldn't get in although they were half empty every night. One... More

The service was great -everyone was super friendly, helpful.The... More
