The newly renovated rooms at Barcelo Costa Cancun offer comfort, relaxation and great proximity to a wide white sandy beach. The beautiful spa on property offers a nice pampering alternative to the beach. While there is some nightlife close by, the center of Cancun nightlife is only a short cab ride away.
What I wish I
could change:
The pool is very active at Barcelo Costa Cancun but if you're looking for a spot that might be a little quieter the palapas on the beach offer a tranquil spot for napping or reading.
Why YOU should
go:
Cancun offers something for everyone. Barcelo Costa Cancun has the location and ambiance to compliment the destination nicely. The wide white sandy beach is inviting as is the refreshing pool.
The Barcelo Costa Cancun attracts families, young adults, and couples seeking casual, active holidays without the formality of restaurant dress codes.
At the compact resort's center is a large, free-form swimming pool that includes a children's section and shallow-water shelves for relaxing on lounge chairs. The 75-yard beach of fine, nearly white sand alongside the resort includes volleyball and soccer nets, features thatched-roof palapas for shade, and provides access to the Caribbean Sea, which is usually calm in this part of Cancun.
A health-and-beauty spa includes sauna, steam room, and six-person spa tub with adjacent cool-water plunge pool. Access to all is included in the All-Inclusive Plan, as is a large fitness center. An air-conditioned children's clubhouse, with adjacent outdoor playground, provides daily supervised care for children ages 4-12 as part of the All-Inclusive Plan.
This Cancun all-inclusive resort's activities/entertainment staff perform a show nightly on an outdoor stage and conduct games and contests daily at the pool and on the beach. On-site shopping includes gifts, liquor, jewelry, resort wear, and crafts. All-Inclusive Plan guests enjoy exclusive access to a 24-hour lounge with pool table and video games (surcharges), and self-service snacks such as hot dogs, nachos, individual pizzas, and soft ice cream, as well as soft drinks, juices, and beer.
