Barcelo Maya Caribe - All Inclusive in Xpu-Ha

It is an ok hotel. Rooms are quite old and definitely need renovation. Open buffet was ok, if you'll eat something that is grilled or fried it will most likely taste like a combination of everything that grill or oil was used for during the day. So I cant recommend open buffet either. I would recommend going with the restaurants which require reservations well in advance. If you try to book a table in the restaurants the same day or even a day before you'll either end up with something before 6:00 or something after 9:30pm. Ocean is ok too. I have seen much better ones. The hotel is huge, pools are nice and there are a lot of restaurants and bars in the property. Overall it was pretty mediocre experience staying here.

Barcelo is a beautiful Mexico destination. The staff were so friendly and helpful. This was our second time staying here. It was amazing.

Only one thing to complaint is DRINKS SUCKS!!... They really need to improve their drinks because they are not even close to the level of the rest of the amenities... Other than that... Awesome hotel with all inclusive!! Awesome pools and beaches, huge 5 hotels into 1 with access to all of them, restaurants are really good but not the one located at the pool side..... Room was perfect clean big and no complaint at all....friendly stuff everywhere!! Highly recommended. Not need to leave the hotel, it has everything (mall bars pools beaches, beach activities, discos, bowling, mini golf, restaurants , spa, gym etc etc..)

Barcelo Maya Caribe was an absolutely spectacular resort for our family vacation. The buffets are open for breakfast lunch and dinner. The a la carte restaurants are hit or miss but generally speaking have decent food. I wish there was more availability at the a la carte restaurants. The hotel provides coupons for a certain number of dinners at the restaurants but good luck getting reservations. The unlimited drinks are great. There is 24 hour drinks and food next to the bowling alley. The casino is small but a great feature to have on site. Not cool that they take 7% when you cash in your chips. The free pool and beach activities are absolutely spectacular. The entertainers at the hotel are for the most part seasonal staff but they really liven up the environment. The rooms are nothing great but they are certainly nice and functional. It is a huge plus to the have the free mini bar stocked with fresh water beer and sodas every day. The maintenance crew really keeps the premises extremely clean. The beach out in front of the hotel is super clean with fine white sand and warm clear turquoise colored water. The location is perfect because you are within 25 minutes north or south of all the great tourist destinations (Tulum, Playa Del Carmen, XCaret, Xelha, Cenotes, etc). Would definitely go back.
