Just returned from the Barcelo Maya Tropical and really, other than the people getting up before dawn (it seems) to place their towels on the sunchairs around the pool, I found absolutely no fault. Personally, I prefer to stay on the beach watching the waves crash up on the shore. Oh yeah, I do have a complaint. The pillows were... More

We stayed in the Tropical for 5 nights, 6 days. We had a very nice relaxing times. The grounds at these resorts are gorgeous. We probably drove up to 10 other resorts from the taxiing around we did, and the Barcelo seemed to have the nicest grounds of all. Pools were excellent, nice and warm, never over crowded. We lucked... More

We had an amazing time at Barcelo Tropical – premium oceanfront junior suite. The facility was great, rooms nice and the beach.... well... the beach was fantastic. It was the reason we chose this resort and we were not disappointed. It was so large it never felt crowded. Yes, if you want a chair (at the beach or pool) you... More

Aside from the long walks back to the room, this place was perfect. We saw all kinds of exotic animals on the way to the main part of the resort. Along with the beautifully manicured lawns and landscaping, the resort felt like a haven within a haven. The kiddie pools were great with plently of slides and water activities. We... More

We visited this resort 2 years in a row, in June 2009 and June 2010. We visited another resort in July 2011 and immediately regretted that we had not booked here for the 3rd year in a row. We were thinking that since there are so many resorts in this area, that we would try a new one...., well now... More

Me and my (now) wife choose this place to get married in August '11, and we were happy for the choice! All our guests had a wonderful time, and the wedding on the wonderful beach of the hotel is really something special. The staff was always nice and courteous, and the wedding was organized to perfection. The only issues we... More

We travelled to the Barcelo Tropical during the week of March 11 - March 18. The resort is very beautiful with many trees and flowers along the paths that lead you to the different areas of the resort. We upgraded to the Club room (which we would definitely do again) at the front of the building which gave us a... More

This is our 3rd time to Barcelo (travelled March 3-18, 2012) but this time as a Premium Club Member. We booked 2 weeks and were shocked upon arrival that we received 10 booked ala' carts with great dinner times (7:00pm, 7:30pm). We had no problem rebooking a couple of these and did upgrade to one dinner at the French restaurant... More

The staff was pleasant, the food was good, the beach was amazing. one morning we were up to watch the sunrise and the staff were raking the sand getting it... More
