Riviera Maya Waterpark Vacations

The Kids’ Club really stood up, the staff were nice and they had a good daily schedule for kids. Kids could also participate in theatre performances and dance in the evenings. My son really enjoyed participating. We also liked the food at the resort.

So much under renovation during the stay and we werent informed until after booking. A lot of amenities not available during the stay including the beach front restaurant and pool side snack bar

Room was neat and tidy, and the staff was very welcoming and accommodating.

Check in took about an hour. Room was clean. Our room didn’t have hot water the first day until we called maintenance and taught us the “trick” to get hot water running. Food and activities were good. No room service unless you were royal elite. No liquor in room just beer, soda and water. Overall great resort. We had a concierge that reserved restaurants and those were great. Beach and pools were nice.

Barcelo was so much more than we could've expected! We came for our honeymoon and were truly blown away by the beauty of the property, the activities they constantly had going, how kind and helpful the staff was, everywhere you look someone is cleaning, the food was amazing and plentiful. I could go on for days on how amazing this property was. We were a premium level guest with the ability to explore the connecting resorts and all were so beautiful! We loved it so much we extended our stay 2 more nights. No regrets! We hope to be back same time next year!

Room was fantastic, clean and modern. Staff was courteous, helpful, and amenities were great. Beautiful grounds and great food!

We stayed here Jan 23-30, 2026 and had the best time. The resort was beautiful, well maintained in all the common area, staff were friendly and attentive. Room was good- nothing spectacular but it was clean and spacious, the bed was comfortable, well stocked mini fridge and housekeeping was excellent! The lobby shows (performed by the incredible POP team) and markets were a great way to spend our evenings- you definitely need to attend the UV Beach Party and Bingo Night when you are there. Because we booked through Expedia, we had VIP access to all three resorts on the property and concierge support through WhatsApp (this was the best as they can make your restaurant resos and help with soooo many other things... didn't know I needed this service in my life until this trip). Food was okay, well presented at the buffet but selection didn't change much from day to day. A la carte restaurants were also just okay. Tip- when you book the Japanese A la carte, if you pick the teppanyaki table it is a set menu and you do not have access to the sushi bar or any of the items on the menu you can see in the app... we would have chosen to eat in the regular side if we had known this. Beach is nice but very rocky entering the water by the Colonial Resort, you have to walk a short way down the beach closer to Kantenah to find an area to enter without rocks. All in all, this was a fantastic resort, our three teenagers (14, 17, 19) had a blast and we would definitely stay there again.

The room and amenities were ok, the staff was excellent. I would stay again
