The quality and variety of the food, from buffets to à la carte restaurants, are highly praised. The resort is vast and beautiful, offering numerous facilities, including opportunities for snorkeling and marine wildlife observation. The cleanliness of the premises and the professionalism of the staff are also consistently highlighted.

Experience at the Barcelo Maya Palace
Expérience au Barcelo Maya Palace

The buffet service was sometimes very slow, and we often didn't receive our drinks because the server forgot about us. We needed a high chair for our baby, and it always took a very long time to get one, and we often had to ask the server to bring it. Otherwise, everything else went well.

Le service au buffet est parfois très lent et il nous arrivé souvent de ne pas recevoir notre consommation, car le serveur nous oubliait. Nous avions besoin de chaise haute pour notre bébé et c'était toujours très long et il fallait souvent relancer le serveur pour nous apporter la chaise haute. Si non tout le reste s'est bien déroulé.

A perfect family vacation
Des vacances parfaites en famille

We traveled with our 15-month-old baby and everything was wonderful. The hotel isn't decorated in the most modern style, but it's very well maintained and spotlessly clean. The buffet is varied and the food is delicious. The water play area is perfect for babies, and the staff makes sure we have everything we need throughout our stay. Because there's a bay near the sea, the waves are small, and the beach is very accessible for babies who aren't yet walking. The resort is quite large, so you have to be prepared to walk long distances, which we appreciated for naps with the baby in the stroller. Alternatively, a shuttle bus is available to travel to other Barcelos resorts. The sea view is truly breathtaking, and we managed to eat every day with a magnificent view of the sea, both at the buffet and the à la carte restaurant. I also enjoyed swimming with small fish and turtles right off the resort's beach. The only minor points to note are that while high chairs are available, there can be a bit of a wait to get them. Also, there are no parasols on the beach, so we found shade under the many palm trees. I highly recommend this hotel and we will definitely be returning with our family soon.

Nous sommes partis avec notre bébé de 15 mois et tout était super agréable. L’hôtel n’est pas décoré aux goûts du jour, mais il est super bien entretenu et vraiment propre. Le buffet est varié et on y sert des repas délicieux. L’espace jeux d’eau est adapté aux bébés et le personnel prend soin de s’assurer que nous ne manquions de rien tout au long du séjour. Le fait qu’il y ait une baie près de la mer, les vagues sont petites et la plage est très accessible pour les bébés qui ne marchent pas encore. Le complexe hôtelier est vraiment grand, il faut aimer marcher de longues distances, c’est ce qui nous plaisait pour faire faire les siestes du bébé dans sa poussette. Sinon, un autobus est disponible pour se déplacer à travers les autres Barcelos. La vue sur la mer est grandement impressionnante et nous avons réussi à manger à tous les jours avec une vue majestueuse sur la mer, tant au buffet, qu’au restaurant à la carte. J’ai aussi apprécié nager avec de petits poissons et des tortues directement à la plage du complexe. Les seuls petites recommandations seraient premièrement du fait que les chaises hautes sont disponibles, mais avec un peu d’attente à se les procurer. Aussi, il n’y a pas de parasol à la plage, nous cherchions l’ombre grâce aux nombreux palmiers. Je recommande fortement cet hôtel et assurément que nous y retournerons en famille prochainement.

Incredible stay!
Séjour incroyable!

The location is magnificent and the food was delicious. The diverse wildlife right on the resort grounds delighted us. I highly recommend this hotel.

Le site est magnifique et la nourriture était délicieuse. La diversité de la faune à même le resort nous a enchanté. Je recommande fortement cet hôtel.

Very nice resort
Très beau resort

Hotel: Approximately 90 minutes from the new Tullum airport. Wristband system (no card needed to open the room door). The resort is very large. Expect to do some walking. Room: The junior suite is spacious and very clean. The mattresses are comfortable. The housekeeping staff deserves special mention for their excellent work. Buffet and Restaurants: The buffet is simply decadent, with something for everyone. We ate at two restaurants (with reservations): La Brasserie and Le Caribe are very good, and the service is quick. Bars: The selection of alcoholic beverages is very extensive. The bartenders are efficient and friendly (especially at Coco Bar). Beach: The only slight disappointment. For those who enjoy walking, water shoes or flip-flops are recommended as the beach is somewhat rocky in some areas. Otherwise, snorkeling is possible, and you can observe fish and turtles, among other things. Conclusion: We really enjoyed this 5-star hotel. For us, the major irritant was the length of the transport from the airport to the Barcelo (you should know that we stopped at several Resorts to drop people off).

Hôtel
Environ 90 minutes du nouvel aéroport de Tullum. Système de bracelet(pas besoin de carte pour ouvrir la porte de la chambre). Le site est très grand. Il faut s'attendre à marcher.
Chambre
La suite junior est spacieuse et très propre. Les matelas sont confortables. Il faut souligner l'excellent travail des femmes de chambres.
Buffet et restaurants
Le buffet est tout simplement décadent, il y en a pour tous les goûts. Nous avons mangé à deux restos(avec réservation) : La Brasserie et le Caribe sont très bons et le service est rapide.
Bars
L'offre d'alcool est très grande. Les barmen sont efficaces et sympathiques(surtout au Coco Bar).
Plage
Seule petite déception. Pour ceux qui aiment marcher, il faut prévoir des souliers d'eau ou gougounes car à certains endroits c'est quelque peu rocailleux. Sinon, il est possible de faire du snorkling et observer des poissons et tortues notamment.
Conclusion
Nous avons vraiment aimé ce 5 étoiles. Pour nous, l'irritant majeur a été la durée du transport de l'aéroport au Barcelo(il faut savoir que l'on arrête à plusieurs Resorts pour laisser des gens).

Wonderful family trip!!
Magnifique voyage en famille!!

Very clean, attentive staff, good food but very little entertainment in the late afternoon. Beautiful beach despite the rocks, no problem swimming and seeing fish and turtles.

Très propre, personnel attentionné, bonne nourriture mais très peu d’animation en fin de journée. Belle plage malgré les rochers, aucun problème à se baigner et voir des poissons et tortues.
