This was by far, the best resort we have stayed at. I have already recommended this resort to several people.
one of the best resorts i was in past 2 years, beatifully landscaped territoty.
The experience overall was excellent. My only real complaint is that the air conditioner didn't work and the refrigerator didn't keep things cold. We were assured that they were working on it. They finally changed us to a new room after numerous complaints of being HOT for our last 2 nights. After reading the reviews, this appears to be a continuing problem with the a/c service and refrigerators. It would be to their best interest to get this corrected for future stays. When I return to this resort (which I plan to), I will check the A/C and refrigerator before unpacking my luggage to make sure it works and is not being worked on.
Our family took it's first vacation out of the country to Riviera Maya - Barcelo Maya Beach and Caribe the first week in July. It was extraordinary. The only thing I can complain about is the amount of time we were there. I wish it has been longer. The beach was amazing, white sands, beautiful scenery and plenty of lounge chairs at all times. The water was so clear and warm. The resort was always accommodating and helpful. I was very impressed with the grounds and how clean it was there. You can tell the workers are always at it day and night. The drinks and food were very good with a very large selection. I loved my entire vacation there. I can't wait to go back.
Had a wonderful experience at this resort. Traveled with a 6 year old and a 3 year old. Lots of stuff to do. Kids enjoyed the water parks. Food was very good. Buffets did repeat themselves. Stayed at the caribe section. If I return, will pay a little more and stay at the tropicalcolonial only for the air conditioned buffets. We were there in June and it was so hot during some meals you didn't even want to eat. Air conditioner in the room did not always keep it cold enough for our liking, but we like it pretty cold. Staff was very friendly. room was cleaned everyday. Pools and beach area's were clean and well kept. Bar service was pretty good. Some days slower than others. Overall a great place to stay. Would def. go back again!!
I have zero complains of the place. The most friendliest staff. Entire resort is at all times impecable. Very well maintained. Food of every choice, regardless you are a meat eater, vegetarian or a healthy eater. Entertainment well organized. Over all, hands down to Barcelo Riviera Maya.
I love going to Barcelo Maya Caribe and Beach! It was beautiful and the service was excellent. I was expecting a little less for the price, but I have to admit that I got way more than I anticipated. Looking forward to going back as soon as possible.
My husband and I went to the Riveria Maya for our 1 year anniversary. We had a great time! It was completely relaxing and absolutely beautiful! There was so much to do - they had beach yoga, water aerobics, soccer and a ton of other fun stuff that broke apart a lazy day at the beach. We did have a few issues, but nothing that ruined our stay: 1. The AC in the first room we were given was horrible. The staff was really great about it, though and switched us right away. They also came by and made sure that everything worked well. 2. I'm a vegetarian and the only really great meal I had was breakfast. But I tend to expect that - I was just glad they had some vegetarian options. 3. The mosquitoes were out in full force! We had been to St. Thomas the week before and had no problems with bugs. We should have brought more bug repellent. Be forewarned! There was also what looked like a flying cockroach in our room one night. Terrifying! Cheap Carribean was great, though. Everything was easy - we had no issues anywhere and I'd book another trip on the site in a heartbeat!
great vacation everything was perfect best place for families the waterparks are amazing service is great a lot of food and plenty drinks you can't ask more for an all inclusive resort
One of our better vacations ever! A beautiful beachfront resort created with the every customer need or desire in mind. Great staff, too! I look forward to returning soon.
