Barcelo Maya Riviera

Incredible time at this place. Plenty of things to do and lots of space to relax on the beach or the pool. Came here for how accommodating they are for vegans and vegiterains! At any place they offer vegan options and even when it's not on the menu the service is attentive in accommodating a plate for you. I had a great time at Sapporo. They cooked my entire meal separate from the meat grills. Marily and Mariana gave me incredible service and were the reason I had such a good time.

We stayed at the Barcelo Maya Riviera adults only jan 21 - 28 2026. First off the hotel is newer and is located in La gloria on the maya riveria and is spotless. THE GOOD This place is the cleanest resort we have ever been too, very impressed. I will try to summarize the different areas so not too be long winded Rooms - super clean 10/10 General resort - super clean 10/10 Beach - wow, tons of chairs, never a problem getting one, and its huge. Sea weed is cleaned cosnstantly by machine and the whole beach area is pristine ( just loved it ) BUT BRING WATER SHOES , its has some rockey areas 10/10. It seems like a huge resort in the pictures but a very short walk gets you anywhere in no time. Pool bars - good drinks, friendly staff. Pool- HUGE and spotless as was the entire complex. Loby bar - same but its enclosed. It would be better as an open air bar. Alacart restaurants. Food was good and hot. IMPROVEMENT NEEDED Buffet- food was good as was the selection but was not very hot for the most part. Entertainment. Absolutely nothing between 6 and 9:30 pm. Needs to have something in the lobby to give guests a reason to gather and mingle. ( Every resort we have been too in the past has had some sort of action / entertainment in the lobby..not this one. At 9:30pm there was some sort if live entertainment but ,we'll not very good. The resort is connected to other Barcelo resorts but they need an info booth in the lobby were guests can get info on events at the other ones. That communication was poor at best. They had tv screens with info but hard to decifer. Bottom line If your looking for a vacation to relax in a quiet private adults only atmosphere, enjoy the beach / pool this is probably for you, but if your looking for a place that keeps you busy and entertained after the day at the beach, well this may not check off that box. Don't get me wrong, we did enjoy ourselves but were bored in the evening. This is advertised as a 5 star resort but the lack of entertainment, warm Buffet food and activity communication spoils this rating I'm my opinion.

Tried the Japanese restaurant, Supporo and had a great experience with Rosidalia and Juan as our servers! Highly recommend. We also had dinner at Agave the night before and our waiter, Carlos was absolutely splendid. The Barcelo quartet was also a pleasant surprise! Amazing music and the greatest energy. Roberto and Jose at the Lobby bar also made the best drinks during my stay!

I have being here 4 times now, so it is safe to say that I love this resort. I would like to highlight the the restaurant La comedie on the only adults resort. The ambience and food are really amazing and the service top notch. I appreciate the attention provide by Moises y Bertha that made our experience memorable. Give a try if you are in the Barcelo, and thank me later lol

We ate at Dolce Vita and this was by far the best restaurant at the resort. The bread basket had an assortment of delicious breads, the caprese was very flavorful and well presented. I highly recommend the mushroom cream soup and the lasagna. I also had the most amazing Bellini that I have had in a long time. Our servers were Julio Rodriquez and Cristofer Morales. They were a great, attentive team. Muy Bueno!!!!
