Family Vacation, 4 Adults and 2 Kids. Spent 6 nights and 7 days here and the overall experience was fantastic. The staff was very friendly and in particular Martin at the bar areas and Santos our waiter in the main dinning area did excellent jobs. We can't say enough about the beach; it is by far the best we've experienced... More

just recently returned from 7 days at this hotel and I found my experience to be very good. Check-in was fast and friendly, the room was good clean and well supplied. We ate almost every meal at the buffet and found this to be excellent with a variety of food each night as they had theme nights. Found the waiter... More

First, thank you to everyone who submits a Review to TripAdvisor! I read exactly 100 reviews on the Tropicale before staying there, and they were a big help. Some of the TripAdvisor comments were a bit negative, but a good attitude is everything~and you get what you give! An Overview~we were two families of four, each travelling with two teens,... More

We had booked a 10 night vacation at the Barcelo Maya Caribe. When we arrived at the Lobby of the Caribe they advised us that we had been upgraded to the Tropical. This was a nice upgrade as it allowed you to use all the facilities at 4 hotels. The Caribe, Beach, Colonial and the Tropical, including restaurants.The tropical was... More

Beautiful resort. Beautiful beach. Service was great even if we didn't tip bartenders/waiters. We did however leave a $2 tip on pillow for housekeeping and $2 tip in fridge for fridge person everyday. Our room was cleaned everyday and fridge was stocked everyday. Shows are a bit cheesy but it's good entertainment. I liked circus circus. Food was average buffet... More

The resort is about 1 hour by cab from Cancun airport. We booked the airport transfer using USA Transfer - as recommended by my friend. They had... More

We traveled with my two kids, 18 months and 3 1/2 y and the two grandmothers: it was fantastic! Great people, great place for the children, the beach is nice, fewer rocks than othe hotels near, great waves! Shows and activities for kids day and night. The only unfortunate thing was that the bathroom lack a dedicated space to change... More

I have stayed in the Caribe and Beach, but the Tropical is by far the best out of the 4 "regular" sections (the palace is like a separate resort on its own). The beach is cleaner and softer (a large portion of the resorts beach is filled with crushed shells and rocks, including the Palace beach) and the pool usually... More

My husband and I stayed at the Barcelo Maya Tropical from May 18-27. We were travelling for my sister in law's wedding with a group of about 70 people (20 of them being kids) The trip down to the resort was good. The transfers weren't a problem at all. our group had a mix of the premium upgrades and the... More
