My stay at Barcelo Maya Palace turned out to be unforgettable, with a stunning ambiance and fantastic service overall. The room was quiet, clean, and comfortable, making my stay enjoyable. Dining was a mixed experience, with some restaurants truly excelling in both service and food quality, while a couple left much to be desired. The location is great, close to the beach, but some activities can be a hassle to access. I loved my time there but was slightly disappointed by a few dining options and the limited water activity availability.

I had a great experience at the hotel, thanks to the amazing staff who provided exceptional service, especially in the Coral Restaurant. However, the check-in process was quite slow, and I was disappointed with the reservation system for dining which needs significant improvement. Overall, the spacious rooms, beautiful pools, and pretty beaches made it a solid all-inclusive stay, though I felt some amenities should have been included without extra charges.

My stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable, with some standout features like a friendly and helpful staff, and a clean and spacious room. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, especially with the a la carte options. The beach was nice but not the pristine white sand I hoped for, which was a bit disappointing. Despite these drawbacks, the range of activities and entertainment available was a plus.

I had a fantastic stay at the Barcelo Palace! The resort is beautifully maintained with stunning architecture and a fantastic beach location. I loved the variety of dining options available, though the buffet food could be a bit repetitive. The pool area was beautiful, but quite cold during my visit.
