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.

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.

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.
