The facility is very well designed to cater to the vacationer on a "all inclusive" package. We had a terrific time, but 1 week is enough. The buffets' were very good as a buffet goes, but you grow tired of them by the end of the week. The A-la Carte resteraunts have great service but you have to reserve well... more

Tip for those who want to go elsewhere in... more

My husband and I and our 2 children 12 and 8, stayed here for 1 week on recommendations from 2 different people. We are very picky, but found this resort to meet all of our expectations.

Just got back from a week at the Barcelo Maya Beach Resort, Riviera Maya. Stayed 6/24-7/1. What a beautiful resort!!! The pools were great and the beach was spectacular! The Beach/Caribe hotels are at the lower end of the hotel chain here. The rooms were nice, but as stated here before, the beds were rock hard. The maid service was... more

The grounds were spectacular, very green and lush. We noticed that there were always people... more
