Kelsie Dueck
We chose the Barcelo Maya Palace for our wedding. From the very beginning the communication with the wedding coordinators and vendors was fantastic. They were quick to respond to any and all questions, and their packages made planning a wedding a breeze. We chose this location primarily because of its size, quality, and kid friendliness as we had 50 guests, including a good number of children. The amenities were top notch – the kids pool area was a favourite, the main pool was very large and the adults only area was nice and quiet. The beach was beautiful – white sand and shallow clear water teaming with fish and turtles. The beach itself was dotted with palm trees and loungers, so finding good sun and shade was easy. The spa was also fantastic – we had a spa day included in our wedding package so we didn’t pay extra for it, but after reviewing the prices I would say it’s worth the cost. There are hot/cold pools, steam rooms, saunas and a beautiful outdoors area to relax and unwind – it was beautiful and relaxing. There was a good selection of food at the buffet, and the a la carte restaurants were good. They were able to accommodate groups well. Staying at the Palace allows access to the other resorts on the property (Colonial, Tropical, Caribe and Beach), though we didn’t go too far – just to some of the other lunch buffets or some of the other a la carte’s. There was also a mall, mini golf, sports bar, discoteque, and much much more for endless entertainment (I myself didn’t do much of anything else, though our guests did and enjoyed themselves!). The rooms were spacious and well maintained and cleaned daily. It is a very large resort and thus takes a lot of walking. The area with the rooms and the buffet’s were not particularly close (maybe a 5 min walk which was easy for us, but difficult for those in our group with limited mobility). We did have something that came up upon check out that left a little bit of a sour taste for us, however. Upon checkout we blindsided by a suggestion that we got blood on a towel or something and wanted to charge us extra for it. We had no major issues or injuries, and noticed absolutely nothing on the towels or sheets any day (and we would have owned up to it if something actually happened). The only thing I could think of is if we scratched ourself and there was a spot of blood or something that went unnoticed by us. I have never seen or heard of a hotel trying to charge you for something like this, as that is something that I’m sure happens often in hotels. They ended up not charging us for it, but only after we made a major issue of it repeatedly denying that anything of that nature occurred. This is why I left only 4/5 stars for service.

Great resort, little paradise for families with kids. They have two water parcs that are included with resort and they are a gem. Long pools and a lot of chairs for both beach and poolside. No struggle to find a spot. Food is pretty good, a la carte is real good. Service is spot on. Rooms are kept clean and have all you need. Worthy mention: Antonio from entertainment gave us a memorable and great aerobics class. His enthusiasm and energy was super contagious :)

Wonderful trip! Check in was smooth in the premium lounge of the palace, we used this space often to cool off grab a snack and let the kids play on the computers a little. Buffets were great with options for everyone and service was even better the staff here are phenomenal. Pools were clean and a great temperature for a Canadian. Beach was also clean and the water was beautifully warm, we swam with turtles and fish and stingrays. Our room was oceanview and beautiful. Beds could use a little update but it was overall quite comfortable for my 10 day stay. Would absolutely return to this property.

We have stayed here twice now — once in December 2024 and again in January 2026 — and overall it continues to be a very good resort for families. The staff across the resort is consistently friendly, kind, and welcoming. What truly stands out for us, however, is the Kids Club. The activities are fun, well organized, and age-appropriate, and the team genuinely cares about the children. A special mention goes to Naomy from the Palace Barcy Kids Club — she is incredibly warm and attentive, and our daughter absolutely loves staying at the kids club when Naomy is there. It makes such a difference as a parent to feel confident leaving your child in such caring hands. We also want to highlight Priscila from Transportation, who was extremely helpful and understanding when our flight was delayed. She assisted us with rescheduling transportation smoothly and handled the situation with kindness and professionalism — we really appreciated her support. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. We stayed in a Junior Suite this time and found it ideal for a family. The air conditioning works very well — it keeps a constant, comfortable temperature and runs quietly, which is a big plus. That said, the bathroom could use an update, as it’s starting to feel a bit dated, and the elevators could benefit from more frequent cleaning. The buffet food is decent, but we did notice a difference compared to our previous stay. In 2024, the food felt a bit more refined and “Palace-level,” whereas this time it felt more similar to the offerings at Colonial or Tropical — still good, but not particularly memorable. The pools are beautiful and well maintained, though they can feel a bit cold during January and December, which is something to keep in mind for winter stays. Overall, Barceló Maya Palace remains a solid choice for families, especially because of the exceptional kids club staff and the consistently friendly service. With some small updates to facilities and food offerings, it could truly feel as high-end as its name suggests.

Just spent a couple of weeks at Barcelo Maya Palace and had a lovely time! We've been before and return because of consistent high quality, good food and great service. Especially found the following staff wonderful: Dining Reservations - Diana; Hacienda buffet- Keyli, Selena, Ramon Perez, Enrique, Juan; Bar near premium restaurants - Maria Perez; Lobby bar -Teresa; Housecleaning staff - we never actually met our housecleaners but they did a fabulous job of cleaning and refreshing our room after we went out in the mornings. Thanks to the resort and all the great staff who helped make our stay so enjoyable.
