Oct 22, 2025Amazing Vacation
It is our 14th year visiting Barcelo Rivera Maya resort at the palace. The resort is amazing and Erica Luna, Maria Perez, and Mayra Poot at the Carey Bar have made our visit even more special. Thank you!

Oct 21, 2025Family vacation to barcelo maya palace
The staff are not friendly and helpful at all we waited 4 hours for our room with two kids to be ready even after they told us the check in is at 3 The service in buffet is terrible and it smells very bad every-time we went there They gave us hard time for the dinner reservation and none of the restaurants were available we had to raise the issue that with two kids we cannot have zero reservation and after all the hustle one of the managers gave us the two booking for the restaurants otherwise we were all eating the buffet

Oct 20, 2025Lovely Resort
While we did not get the room in the building that we had reserved initially, they moved us 3 days into our trip. The facility is beautiful and very comfortable. We did a lot more walking, as the resorts are spread out. But the walking was good for us and it was such a beautiful place to stroll along the well manicured paths. The service was excellent - everywhere. The snorkeling was nice, but I think the steps from the ocean to the pier really need to be placed better. It is very slanted inward and I cut my hand on one of the steps while pulling myself out.

Huge Beautiful resort
This resort is massive so you have the opportunity to stretch your legs but if you don’t want to walk there is an internal bus. You also have so many different options you don’t have to explore the resort if you don’t want to. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. The staff is friendly and the food is excellent.
