Teo Savin
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.

Barceló Maya is a budget-friendly, family-oriented resort, and that really sums up the experience. We went mainly because of extended family, and while it’s not a luxury stay, it works well for families with kids. The pools are great for children, the beach is nice, and there are lots of kids’ activities and nightly entertainment. Housekeeping was solid, and we appreciated how walkable the entire resort complex is, with a shuttle running every 20 minutes between properties. That said, this is not a luxury resort. The regular junior suite felt dated and basic, and the overall room experience didn’t feel premium. Dining was the biggest downside — the buffet was chaotic, dinner reservations were hard to get (especially for families larger than four), and the resort could really use more restaurant options. Overall, Barceló Maya is a good choice if you want an affordable, kid-friendly vacation, but it may disappoint if you’re looking for a more refined or upscale experience.

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 came here on a family trip with a large group, and the wait staff at El Mirador Buffet was always more than happy to accommodate all of us at one table whenever available. Angel Molina and Margarita Gomez were our servers for breakfast and lunch, and they were incredibly attentive; making sure every need of our group was met and then some. Jose Garcia was our waiter for dinner on multiple nights and was equally accommodating, consistently going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The entire staff was friendly, but these three truly made our trip even more enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back!

It's our first time staying at Barcelo Maya Palace. Overall,the stay was good. Special thanks to Alejandro Carrasco, who served us dinner at al a carte Caribeno restaurant. We had a great experience there! I've rated service with 3 stars due toothed following concerns: 1. The airport transfer is badly organized, spent an hour roaming in the airport looking for the shuttle to drive us to the hotel. 2. Reception was a disappointment. The main front desk appeared to be not a reception, and we've been led to another huge hall with a table and 1 laptop for 2 agents to be checked in. The receptionists hardly understood English, what was strange considering 95% of the guests are speaking Emglish there. 3. There is no map to locate any facilities/entertainment. The receptionist didn't say a word about the available services, so you need to find out it yourself, exploring the hotels amenities day by day. 4. Upon check in a bellboy helped with our luggage storing it by the entrance. When we came for our suitcases he marked our room.number on the tags and told.ua to go to the room and he would be right back with our bags. We came into the room and when 1 hour left with no signs of the bell boy. We called Bellboy service and a man there told me I had to come back to them and take my luggage myself. He was rude and impatient, almost dropped a call. I called to the reception, they apologized and sent a bellboy with our bags to us. So another 40 min we were waiting for the suitcases to be delivered after it. As for the beach, at Maya Palace the beach is 8 out of 10, but other hotels of Barcelo have bad beach conditions: sharp rocks are located in several places on the shore, sometimes completely covered by the water. It may be a good idea to get coral shoes with you. The location, food was beautiful too. Thanks for having us here at Barcelo. Elizabeth Kravets
