In general, we were pleased with the resort. Kid friendly, great food selection, many entertainment activities but at the same time not noisy. Most importantly, the resort was pretty clean, the workers were always cleaning. Very green and well designed resort either, you could reach anything from anywhere in minutes. All the side walks were covered which provides shade in hot sunny days and rain cover. Staff was very nice and friendly. Beach for colonial and tropical is nice, still few rocky spots but in return those spots were good for snorkeling. We will definitely go there again.

Damian and Andrea were very friendly and personable. My son and I had a great experience. The go karts were in great condition and the track was very beautiful. Great conversation and a warm smile greeted us when we arrived. We highly recommend, make sure to look out for Iguanas on the track!

I took my sisters on a family vacation here in April 2024. I was pretty apprehensive about showing them a good time, and wanted to provide a good experience for them. I was so very very pleased with the room we stayed in at the resort. The staff was sooooo friendly, warm, welcoming, and amazing. Special shoutouts to our morning waitstaff member Daniel and our evening dining staff Claudia and her partner Jose. They were amazing, made sure we were seated quickly, and had everything we needed for each meal. The resort staff are amazing at organizing a beautiful day for you, whether it’s at the beach, pool, or on an excursion. The rooms were so clean and kept nice and cold for when we returned from the beach after a warm day. The food was excellent both at the buffet and the restaurants, we had an excellent time on their beautiful beaches, and I could not recommend it enough. We’re still here at the moment enjoying the last few days and I’m already sad it’ll be over soon! can’t wait to return!

Really nice place for a vacation. But there were frustrations. The pool chairs and cabana areas are taken very quickly somehow in the middle of the night. So you have to wake up early to get chairs. Like I would say 5:30am. If you get a covered area you’ll enjoy it much more. And many will already be taken. The pool areas are really cool. You get 3 dinner reservations that aren’t in the buffet and we booked ours the night we got there and they only had 1 available. It was good food at the seafood place. The buffet had some positives and negatives but we all have our likes and dislikes so I would say there’s something for everyone. The staff was mostly very kind and helpful. Strangely some of the staff walk around like watch dogs and think they have to police everyone but most are quite friendly and helpful. We found if a staff was unreasonable we just asked someone else and they were fine. Even though it’s all inclusive some staff just simply would say no on bottled waters, smoothies or other amenities. And like I said we’d just go somewhere else and ask a different person and they’d usually help you right away. There are quite a few things that we didn’t know about until the last day. So get out and explore and see what you actually get that’s included. The shops are actually pretty good and not awful prices. Rooms are decent. And ours was fairly clean. We did snorkel out on the beach and had good luck out by the rocks. One big negative is that you are way far from Cancun. So a taxi is pricey and there isn’t much else around. So if you have other plans I’d maybe strategically stay somewhere closer cause you’re in the boonies here. Over an hour from the airport. You’re closer to Tulum so if that’s one of your destinations this might be a good spot. One and done for me.

Our stay at Barceló Maya Colonial was spectacular! We enjoyed all of the different offering the resort had. Our dining experiences were phenomenal! Carlos Tec and David Muńoz took great care of us at the dinning buffet. At the outdoor buffet by the pool, Luis Motto was the best! We are looking forward to coming back soon!
