What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Gastronomic Paradise

During my stay, the dining experience was nothing short of lovely. The buffets offered an impressive array of fresh fruits and an endless selection that catered to all tastes. I particularly enjoyed the lobster and various meat options at the buffet, which made every meal a delight. Special shoutout to Ivan and Carmen, who made breakfast lovely with their really good service. The à la carte dining options were a refreshing change from the buffets, especially the Tokyo restaurant, which added an element of fun to our dining experience.

Comfortable and Clean Rooms

I was really impressed with the room we stayed in at the Barcelo Maya Beach. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and equipped with a well-functioning mini-bar. Housekeeping was fantastic, ensuring we always had fresh towels and everything we needed. The air conditioning worked wonders during the warm days, making our stay incredibly comfortable. I also loved that every room had beautiful views of the surrounding gardens, enhancing the overall relaxation of our vacation!

Relaxation and Fun

The leisure facilities at this resort were really good! I particularly enjoyed the aqua gym sessions organized daily at the pool. It was a fun way to stay active while soaking up the sun. Additionally, the various water activities offered, such as kayaking and snorkeling, were perfect for adventure seekers like myself. After a day full of activities, relaxing on the beach with pristine views was the cherry on top of my vacation!

Nightly Entertainment Extravaganza

I loved the entertainment options at Barcelo Maya Beach! Each night, the resort hosted vibrant shows that were highly enjoyable. The main theaters were huge and could accommodate many guests, which made for a lively atmosphere. I appreciated that there were different themes every night, allowing for a diverse experience. The performers were talented, and it was a great way to wind down after a day of fun in the sun!

My family and I had a great time at this hotel! The kids loved the poolside attractions and evening entertainment, while I enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of the beach. While the dining options were decent, some dishes were a bit overcooked. The location was fantastic, close to popular sights, and the bartenders were top-notch. However, the rocky beach requires caution when swimming, and the food could use more consistency.

We had a wonderful stay at Barcelo Maya Riviera. The beach and pool areas were spacious and never felt overcrowded, which was great for our family. We appreciated the variety of activities available without needing to leave the resort. However, the check-in and check-out processes were frustratingly slow, and the information provided about the resort could be improved. Despite this, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I'd definitely consider returning.

I had a really enjoyable stay at this beautiful resort. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel truly valued. The beaches were stunning, and the variety of food options plentiful. However, we found the check-in process to be quite lengthy, and the room setup lacked some privacy, which was a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it's a great place for families with lots to do!

I had a wonderful stay at Barcelo Maya Grand, where my family and I enjoyed a clean and comfortable environment. The highlight was certainly the beautiful pool areas and the diverse dining options available. Although the guest services could use an improvement regarding reservations, the overall family-friendly atmosphere made up for it. It's a fantastic place for a family vacation, but if you're an adult solo traveler seeking relaxation, you might find it challenging to access some amenities.
