Stayed for 3 nights on the Tropical side of the Barcelo Maya Resort to attend a wedding. The resort itself is huge!!! I didn’t mind the walk to the beach/restaurants/bars as the resort has beautiful grounds and it was good to walk off all the food and alcohol consumed. I did hear that when it rained, the walkways became very... more

I feel bad that I didnt write a review earlier. The Barcelo Maya hotel complex is a beautiful and well managed facility. We booked a vacation there during spring break in March 2009. We had booked through Expedia and expected to stay at the Colonial however, when we arrrived, the desk staff told us we were booked at the Tropical...an... more

This was our second visit to the Barcelo Maya resort complex. We stayed there in August of 2008 and July of 2009. Our group included Grandparents in their 60's, parents in their 40's, and three teenagers. There is something to do for everyone. There were plenty of activities for the teenagers to get involved in. They played beach soccer and... more
