Everything except the check in process was great.they need to update their system and streamline the check in, or at least allow online pre-check in, like in cruises. The staff, food and drinks were all excellent! We want to come back, but really hope it doesn’t take 2 hours since we arrived to get into our room

Beach was gorgeous and the resort was nice. However the staff would either be amazing or rude. Our AC stopped working day one of the trip we were there for 9 days no one ever fixed it. The maids sometimes cleaned our room really well other times they forgot to give us towels.

The only thing i did not like is that as a vip guess, i was placed on the 3rd building away from the pool (8300 building), very long walk to the pool area. But the property is great, will definitely come back.

This was our 2 nd time to Barcelo palace. The first was about 10 years ago. The property and staff were great. Good food options. Only complaint I had was the beds were terrible. Both my wife and I had bad back pain all week from the worn beds. No firmness at all and springy? My sister and husband were also on the trip and they had the same complaint about there’s. Would have given 5 stars if not for that.

We just got home from our 8 night stay at the Barcelo Maya Palace (May 16-24th). It was such a great time for my family with kids age 11 and 14. The grounds are so beautiful. The beach had some sargassm, but it did not bother us and they work hard so hard to haul it away. The entire time we were there was red and yellow flag days but we enjoyed the water everyday with no issues. The waves were manageable and fun! Staying at the Palace gave us access to 4 other resorts. Expedia and Barcelo gave us a Premium upgrade as a VIP, giving us access to the premium lounge and access to the hydrotherapy at the spa was great. Thank you!! We chose the Palace because we scored a great deal and after watching the food reviews wanted to have a little more selection. Although our room was near the back, we are fully capable of walking and this helped us manage enough steps after big feasts! If you have small kids or mobility issues, you may want to book a premium room to be closer to the action. The place also is very wheelchair, wagon or stroller friendly. The bus stop was right out the back entrance and the adult only pool was close by and an advantage to the back rooms. Food was good and we always found something and mixed and matched stations to create what we wanted. I was thankful to have packed: sunscreen, after sun, better shampoo and conditioner, comfy shoes, water shoes, sun shirts, snorkels, insulated cup, band-aids, Immodium, and Gravol and plastic bags. Fun times!

We used only the adult pool which was clean, soothing temperature, spacious. and the cabanas were a wonderful addition. The grounds surrounding all pools were extremely well kept- no trash to be found anywhere. The staff at the pools were extremely friendly and were always in turned to our needs. Housekeeping- outstanding. Food at the buffets were good. We ate at the following specialty restaurants at the Palace- Seafood, French, and Rodizio. All outstanding and great service. We had a wonderful wonderful time. Thank you.

We were a party of three that arrived in mid May. We got a warm breeding and was escorted to the VIP premium lounge to check in. The VIP staff welcomed us warmly and offered us refreshments prior to checking in. Our baggage was delivered to our room and was greeted with a bottle of wine and some chocolates. The room set up was for three people for sleeping, and that was perfect amenities in the room was quite sufficient for our needs. Since we arrived late in the evening, we quickly had a small dinner at the buffet that was still open until 10 o’clock. The following day, we explored the resort and found all other services and amenities to be used for the week. The specialty restaurants were booked during our check in. Rodizio, Brazilian steakhouse and Caribe seafood specialty. Both restaurants had excellent service and each table had two weight staff to help collect plates and offer suggestions on the meal. Since this is a very large resort, we took advantage of the free shuttle buses to each of the resort lobbies. Pool service was very good. Housekeeping was also very good as well. If you needed something extra sure they were more than happy to provide it for you. We did have half a day without power, but that didn’t seem to inconvenience anybody. Overall, a very satisfying resort.

First off I want to say I will never be using expedia for my future bookings. EVER. we arrived very excited to find we were charged $583.60 at the resort because your services somehow claims our child to be a baby! never did I ever claim she was not 5 years old. we have entered a claim through AIG regarding this matter and expect you will be sure to do the right thing and reimburse us the ADDITIONAL charges we were charged at the hotel. this was not our error. this was not a travel delay! we booked our hotel through you for 2 adults 1 child (5 years of age) which was entered when I made the booking. Your team somehow entered her in your system as a baby! We have been charged for a child that was already entered in the day i booked back in March of 2024. This is not the first time we have had issues with your booking services. This will be the last time I use you to book my hotels.

Wife and I have been to this particular property 4 times over last 10 years. Dinning is good , view is beautiful, beach front entrances have lots of hidden under water rocks.( STRONGLY recommend water shoes ) They should clearly mark best ocean entrance spots to mark these underwater hazzards! Watched myself and many others fall and get bruised from rocks in sand . HINT: at the Palace, just right ( as look enter the water ) of the lifeguard stand between two large palm trees… one can reliably enter straight out and back without incurring rocks. Many people were feeding bananas to 2 friendly turtles. (have to peel them). Not sure it is healthy for the turtles ( not their diet)…. But they liked them…( I didn’t participate) Service is very good, many food options.

I can’t say enough good about this property! We have been to many all inclusive resorts. This one by far was the best ever! There are three à la cart restaurants that are out of this world! The food was amazing and the service was fantastic! The property was gorgeous built on beautiful beaches with a coral reef access for snorkeling. The property had every amenity I could imagine anyone ever wanting. Clean, beautiful Big guestrooms. Wonderful shows for night time entertainment. I could go on about this place for days! Best vacation ever!!!

Barcelo was amazing. Our kids loved all the different pool options. The rooms were a bit outdated but clean. The food was not the best at the buffet, but the Brazilian steak house was good. Also, you will have to get up at 5am every morning to reserve your chair by the pool and beach… it’s intense. If that was regulated more.. it would’ve been perfect! Our kids keep asking when we are going back.

The staff was great! The resort was so pretty and clean. The only thing I did not like was the small shops inside were insanely expensive.

The size of the room is perfect and everything in the room was good and comfortable. The beach was good but not sandy enough, I mean a lot of rocks on the beach. The resort building and paths are very good. You will enjoy walking around. Food and drinks were awesome, too many restaurants, all looks good and professional and the food was delicious.

We hope this did not detract significantly from the overall enjoyment of our beachfront.It is heartening to learn that the variety and quality of our food and drinks met your expectations and contributed to a delightful stay.

We were upgraded to the Adults only as they needed more room at the Palace. I saw the list of ppl that were upgraded as well and they were all Expedia clients so I guess booking with Expedia has it perks.
