    Stayed at the tropical during February vacation and had a good time. The pools are very large with plenty of room to swim. The food and types of food was very good. The hotel room and grounds are very clean and maintained. We booked an ocean front room with "sea views" I have been at a different beach resort for five years and a row and the views at this hotel was the worst. If you are like me an require a good view of the ocean, this hotel is not for you. The hotel is set back from the ocean and is only three stories high. The property has tons of palm tree that block any possible view of the ocean. The waterpark is for children 7 years and younger. My 8 & 10 year olds were too old for the water park. Not much night events for children unless they can stay up too 10:30 US time. Unfortunately our kids crashed by 9:30PM so we did not see any shows during the week.

    Barcelo Maya Beach Resort, Mayan Riviera, is spottless, and wonderfully laid out. Snorkling just fine for beginners. Food was great. Staff was friendly. Lots to do for activities..Pools were beautiful. Wanted to get away for a special vacation...looking for heaven on earth....and except for the fact that you put weight on for the food you ate....it was just that....What a wonderful time, location, and resort....Get up early...and watch the sun rise from the ocean.

    ps...walk to the road..short ...

    The Maya Beach section isn't the highest end of the resort, but we were very comfortable and had a wonderful vacation. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained, and all of the staff were friendly. We would recommend it without reservation.

    All in all, we had a great vacation despite the weather. Suggestion would be to have some activities when the rains hit.
    We could not watch the show at the Beach Resort as the theatre was ungodly hot. The ceiling fans were of no use. We ended up taking tram (sometimes having to wait up to 40 minutes as there was no room on tram) to Palace Hotel and enjoying the shows in air conditioning without the noxious smell of cigarettes.

    For a 5 star resort, I expect to be waited on for at least one meal and not have to pay additional fees to go to one of the other restaurants. Of course, you couldn't get reservations to any of them anyway, we were a group of 18 and no one could get any kind of reservation anywhere, so it was buffet food for 7 days! No one came around the pool and beach areas to offer us drinks. There was only one lounge and we waited for 1.5 hours to get a Vodka Martini. When I asked for it, their response was ...

    This hotel is fantastic. Have been there twice now and would love to go and stay there again. Definitely paradise. White sand, clear blue sea, palm trees, fantastic. Hotel rooms were immaculate. Food great, drinks perfect. All lovely and clean. Entertainment is good. A lovely place to fly 11 hours to spend your holiday. Definitely recommended.

    We went to the Barcelo Maya Beach Resort for our honeymoon and can't wait to return for our 5th anniversary - it's a great resort and the area has so much going on - we went snorkeling in Xel Ha (where fresh water meets the sea) and swam with the fishes. We went trekking in the rain forest, climbed a pyramid, got blessed by a Shamen before entering a candle lit cave pool, we spent time in a Mayan village and zip lined across the rain forest, we took advantage of the resorts scuba diving lesson a ...

    Our whole family is looking forward to a return trip. We had a wonderful experience and the Barcelo Maya Beach resort is lovely. Would highly recommend this resort to families with small children due to the great children's water park at the resort. If you can, try and stay in the Colonial section. It is centrally located and you'll save a few steps.

    Barcelo Maya Beach Resort:
    This was the first time we had been to an all-inclusive resort and all I can say is that we will always go to an all-inclusive resort in the future!
    the only bad point was the long flight over there from London, 11 hours but definitely worth it once we got here.
    we arrived in the evening and were very hungry but not to worry we were immediately shown to the massive range of food. all food was great and the cocktails even better! the beach is beautiful, the hotel had ...
