Résumé des avis

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. A few guests occasionally mention that the beach can be rocky or have seaweed, sometimes requiring appropriate footwear.

Beautiful hotel, absolute comfort, rocky beach, less sargassum than elsewhere, and you can see turtles, rays and fish in the water.

Bel hôtel, confort absolu, plage rocailleuse, moins de sargasse qu'ailleurs, et on peut voir des tortues, des raies et des poisson dans l'eau.

Nice hotel but rules not well respected
Bel hôtel mais règlements peu respectés

A very nice hotel in a magnificent location. The rooms are starting to show their age, but the staff is lovely. The only downside is that there aren't enough staff to monitor and enforce the hotel rules. There's a lot of noise at night, due to young people, often drunk, shouting and acting recklessly in the hallways and in the rooms (which are poorly soundproofed). The enclosed pool is open from 8 am to 8 pm, but it's still crowded at 10 pm, so the noise is a real nuisance for those with rooms near the pool… The hotel refused to change our room upon arrival (I had requested the top floor), claiming that our suitcases were already in the room (the first time in my life I've seen that in an all-inclusive resort). Finally, regarding the food, the buffets are very average, but the restaurants are generally excellent. And the staff is always kind, friendly, and smiling. So to conclude, a nice stay, but not very relaxing because of the noise; in the same price range, I've stayed at other resorts on the Riviera Maya that are much better than this one.

Très bel hôtel, site magnifique. Les chambres commencent à faire vieillottes, mais le personnel est adorable. Seul bémol, pas assez de staff pour surveiller et faire appliquer les règlements de l’hôtel. Beaucoup de bruit la nuit, à cause de jeunes gens souvent saouls qui crient et font les fous dans les corridors des chambres, et dans les chambres (mal insonorisées). La piscine ferme est ouverte de 8h à 20h, mais encore du monde dedans à 22h, donc merci le bruit pour ceux qui ont des chambres proches de la piscine…
L’hôtel a refusé de nous changer de chambre à notre arrivée (j’avais demandé le dernier étage), sous prétexte que nos valises étaient déjà dans la chambre (première fois de ma vie que je vois ça dans un tout inclus).
Enfin niveau nourriture, les buffets sont très quelconques mais les restaurants sont dans l’ensemble excellents.
Et le personnel est toujours gentil, aimable et souriant.
Donc pour conclure beau séjour, mais peu reposant à cause du bruit, dans les mêmes prix, j’ai fait d’autres resorts sur la Riviera Maya qui sont bien mieux que celui-là.

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.
