We will be booking our trip sometime in the next couple months - for March '09. I was there in 2002 and it was AWESOME! I hope that everything is the same - and better!!

Just a suggestion, from a 6 time visitor of Barcelo-- Make your meeting of unoffical Barcelo members a tailgate party! We love the barcelo, and just wish that they would offer more discounts for frequent customers.. Don and Jimmie Kaye Liles, aka donl on your site. Thanks for your attention.

im going to the barcelo in 3 weeks!! viva la mexico!

Thank you for such an amazing website! I'm IN LOVE with this resort--I go every year--and I email everyone I know the link to your website so they can see for themselves what an amazing place this is! ~Jennifer

We just returned from a stay at the Barcelo Maya Palace July 12-19, 2008. Our stay was incredible! No real complaints. The fridge does cool better when you pull it out from the wall. Be sure that the patio door, as well as the front door to your room are always closed, or else the air will cut off. There are sensors on both doors and the air is off if they are open. Also, be sure to make restaurant reservations for every day on the day you arrive, as they fill quickly! I highly recommend the Brasserie (French) restaurant at the Palace. Everything tends to be a little overcooked, so I would order the beef more rare that you usually would order it. Staff was wonderful, very respectful and eager to please. We can't wait for a return visit!

This site is amazing! I can't wait to go actually see the resort!! Thanks!!

Excellent site Karen. I am so looking forward to our famliy vacation to Barcelo, looking over the information and photo's you have provided I am comfortable with the decision we made in booking this resort. I have also come to the conclusion that when it comes to booking vacation/resorts with a 2 and 5 year old and parents that need a 'time out', there is nothing wrong with being a little OCD in the planning and your site has all the answers and then some. Thank you so much for all your work.

I love this site! What a wonderful tool to have available before a trip. The people are so friendly and helpful I feel like I already know many people, I know tips to combat minor inconveniences (like pulling the mini fridge out from the wall so the fan won't be blocked and it will get colder), I know where to eat, where to meet people, where to swim, etc etc etc. Barcelo Maya must really be a special place and I can't wait to experience it myself in July. Thanks!

I heard while reading a post in Tripadvisor that you need to pull the fridge out away from the back wall and then it will cool. I think the fan gets blocked.

Just got back from the barcelo maya palace, spent easter there. Wow, I have travelled alot but this is a real nice place. The staff was real nice the rooms were, the best I have seen, I hope they keep it up, not because the hotel is brand new. Only really 2 complaints. One the fridges in the rooms don't really keep anything cold, also the Theme dining rooms are great but booking them is really unfair. You can book them up to 2 weeks in advance,so when we got there the people from the week before book all the rooms for the whole week. So they say you can go to 4 or 5 of these ,but your lucky if you get one. They should have it at least the day before, but besides that there buffet, is I think just about as good.

We are planning our first trip to the Barcelo Maya Colonial in April and I cannot tell you how important this site has been in our planning. Thank you for all the hard work you have put into it. I can't wait to go!!

Just got back Christmas Eve 2007 and what a wonderful vacation! The food was terrific for all you sea food lovers, lots to chose from and the service was fantastic especially Felix from the Santa Fe and Angel from the Capri (a la cartes). Everyone was friendly and went out of their way to make us all feel at home. The nightly entertainment was well done...all and all, our family would return again and again. Thank you Barcelo Maya Staff

Really appreciate the work you've put into this site. It has answered many questions. Awsome job. Thanks

We stayed at the Tropical Dec 3-10, 2007 It was tremendous! The best things were Enrique, Oscar and "Mat" at the swim up bar, and last but not least--Ana, the wedding coordinator, and the Barcy Club ladies, and the lady in the internet office. Our children loved staying at the Barcy Club. There were lots of activities for them to look forward to each day. The list could go on and on. The menudo on Sunday, was a very pleasant surprise. Our rooms were as beautiful as seen on the internet. Every day there would be people pruning and clipping and grooming the grounds. The beach was clean and the guy at the water sports area was very friendly. Overall, we had a wonderful 7 day stay at the Barcelo Maya Tropical! Thank you one and all. Lydia & Family

Just got back from Barcelo Maya... Wow. Everything was clean, the service was incredible... Everything. I'm a very skeptical person and I really tried to poke holes in my stay at the resort but I have NOTHING negative to say about my week at the Barcelo Maya. Okay, ONE negative thing -- I had to come home...
