We stayed at the Barcelo the first two weeks in July and had a great time. The food in the hotel was fantastic and being a fussy eater i thought there was plenty of choice. We had a very poor quality of room when arriving which was very close to the sound of the generators to the front of the... more

I travelled alone during the week of Sept 19-26th. I was very happy with my choice in hotels. Barcelo offered all the amenities needed. I had a room on the 4th floor in the North Tower. It was clean and pleasant, facing the lagoon, overlooking the mall. Half way through the week due to work being done I was asked... more

My husband and I took a long weekend here from sept 23-27. The rooms were nothing lavish but they had a great marble shower and nice balcony view. The service was wonderful. The seafood and mexican restraunts were good (try the mayan chicken). The breakfast and lunch buffets were good but not much selection due to low number of people... more

This was my second time at this resort and we loved everything except the rooms could have been cooler. The grounds are beautiful, food was excellent, service outstanding and the view was spectacular. We had booked four rooms and two of the four rooms were uncomfortably warm day and night. The in room refrigerators were not cooling beverages as well.... more

Please don't let those negative reviews worry you. NO hotel lets guests take food to the poolside - the person writing the negative review obviously hasn't traveled much. Most every hotel we've ever been to in a tropical location has limited seating by the pool - just a 'given'. However, we were here during spring break and never had a... more

The only problem I had with this hotel is that I didn't stay longer! The front desk staff was friendly and professional. The room was adequate with beautiful views and amenities. The air conditioner did not quite keep up with the 90 degree days (so we slept with the ceiling fan on high and only one sheet - which worked).... more

We returned to Tucancun and found it improved from 4/08. The front desk staff were friendly and obliging. The Activities Team was terrific. We had a ball with the poolside fun. It wasn't crowded so they had a dinner show 3 nights. We liked it. The food was good and the entertainment is good but the pre-show and aftershow band... more

Me and my friend came to barcelo from a week in miami and it was great to just be able to relax. The staff were lovely and friendly, the hotel itself was beautiful (and very clean). Entertainment was excellent at dinner and the other restaurants especially the mexican was lush! We also met many people that had told us it... more

We stayed from Thursday, Sept. 3 until Sunday, Sept. 6. The weather was perfect. The resort was not crowded at all. I was expected a large turnout for the holiday weekend. Had the pool and bartender all to ourselves for one day. Rooms were nice, my parents room on 5th floor had balcony with spectacular view. We were assigned a... more
