My family and I (ages 36 to 63) just got back from a fabulous vacation at this resort. We abosolutely love Mexico, we found the people very friendly and felt very safe. This is my 5th time in Mexico and the 3rd time at the Barcelo's and how anyone can put down the food at this resort is beyond me.... More

Just returned from a second visit to Barcelo Maya Beach Tropical. Once again we were most impressed with every element of the resort including - the amazing variety and quality of food at the buffet, beautiful rooms (we always upgrade to Club Premium), quality of the grounds, pools, clean beach, wonderful staff and overall positive experience in Mexico at Barcelo....

We chose this resort because of reviews that said it was very family friendly, and it defintely lived up to that billing. The kids club was great and my 4 yr old was in there quite a bit. The kids pool area is wonderful and even my 2 11 yr olds had fun playing in there. The entire pool area... More

This was our first stay at an all-inclusive resort--we are generally much more adventurous travelers, but this time we just wanted an easy, good-weather, winter get-away. We booked the Barcelo Maya Beach but were upgraded to the Tropical when we arrived. By the end of our stay we decided that we would definitely choose the Tropical again if we go... More

A positive thing was that most people thought we were mexican and spoke to us in Spanish so I got to practice a little (I usually try to spend a month or two learning the local language before most trips, eg...

We travelled to the Barcelo Maya Tropical on Jan 28 to Feb 04 2012 for my nephews wedding. We had a group of about 35 people from different parts of Canada meeting us there. Some stayed at the Palace , some at the Tropical and some at the Beach resorts. For anyone going in the future really check out the... More

The Tropical is a great resort and you have access to the Colonial, Caribe and Beach which all have something different to offer which makes your stay that much better. The resort grounds are well kept and the food was good, even the coffee was excellent! You do however have to make dinner reservations as soon as you check in... More

Extremely great staff except aquatic/water sport staff not friendly. Great and varied al la cart restaurants. A few bars to choose. Full access to Barceló Maya Beach & Caribe and Barceló Maya Colonial including all restaurants & bars, but not the Palace. lots to do around the resort. Great evening shows. Long drive into town but lots of great outings... More

Just returned from Barcelo 2/5/2012. This is our 8th A.I. vacation, and this was the best venue yet. Palace section was off by itself and seemed a little too stuffy for us. Tropical/Colonial side was perfect. In the middle of lots to do, new, clean and all amenities were close by. I thought the Beach/Caribe side was a little old... More
