Ok, this resort is great. I'm not a very picky reviewer so yeah. I traveled with my husband and 10 year old daughter. We had the best time of our lives. Drive from airport is super long. Although they were training a new driver so it took longer. When we first arrived they offered us free drinks. We went in... More

Stayed here from 1/30/12 to 2/4/12. After spending one night in the average deluxe room at the Tropical, we were able to upgrade thanks to Sam at the front desk, at a reasonable price, for the Master Suite with premium accommodations. This was a wonderful suite with two rooms, jacuzzi, large balcony with a hammock overlooking the property with an... More

This is a great property. Beautiful beach, nice rooms, beautifully kept grounds. People are all very nice. Buffet OK...speciality restaurants are spectacular! We went to italian, japanese, seafood, and steak. Food and wait staff at all four were out of this world! Snorkeling very good. Couples massage was so relaxing! Only thing we didn't like was that the fitted sheet... More

We stayed at the Barcelo Maya Colonial Jan 26-31, 2012. We booked online through hotwire.com. We originally booked out rooms at the Maya, but when we checked in, they upgraded up to the Colonial, which was a big plus! Now to the review. The most important part of a warm winter vacation is the beach. This beach is amazing. There... More

this is the 3rd time we have stayed here over the past 8 years. We have stayed at other resorts in Riviera Maya, most recently Bahia Principe, but liked Barcelo resort the best. Great updates have made the resort even better. The rooms are beautiful and very spacious. We bought the upgrade upon check in, but I now this think... More

This was our first trip to Barcelo in the Mayan Riviera, about 1 hour from the Cancun Airport. It was a fantastic choice. This resort consists of 5 hotels: Beach, Caribe, Tropical, Colonial and Palace. Staying at the tropical allowed us to use facilities at 4 out of the 5. (Palace was off limits) The ride from the airport took... More

There was a wide variety of food, we loved the Italian and Capri steak house a... More
