Barcelo Maya Colonial & Tropical

2 More reviews coming your way…

Barcelo Maya Beach & Caribe is the “entry level” resort in the Barcelo complex.  Resort features 6 open-air restaurants, 7 bars and 2 pools.  The property features its own Barcy Club for the kids along with a splash deck.  At 1,035 rooms, this is the largest resort in the Barcelo complex.  Rooms were very well maintained and clean.  This resort shares the stunning beach that runs the length of the Barcelo complex.  Great value for clients on a budget that are looking to get away!

Barcelo Maya Colonial & Tropical sits in the middle of the Barcelo complex.  It has sharing privileges with the Barcelo Maya Beach & Caribe but not with the Barcelo Maya Palace.  The resort features 8 restaurants, 8 bars, 2 swimming pools and a Barcy Club for the kids with its own water park.  So lots of choices!

The Spa for the Barcelo complex is located at this resort along with the “Barcelo Shopping Center” which features a disco, chapel and a variety of shops.  The resort shares the same beautiful beach. Rooms are extremely well maintained.  The food was great!  This resort is a good choice for Apple Vacationers!

That ends my tour of Barcelo. Watch for the final updates coming tomorrow!  Thanks!

Another review from James Reese — next up Barcelo Maya Palace.

I’ve had the pleasure of staying at this resort on my trip & Wow! This section of the Barcelo complex in Riviera Maya boasts 7 restaurants, 5 bars and 5 pools!  There’s also an adults only (18+ years old) pool for those clients looking for a little more peace and quiet.

This resort features 756 beautiful and very spacious junior suites with double vanities, double closets, king or 2 double beds, Internet access (free with Premium Club upgrade and $12 per day without), daily stocked beer, soda and water in the mini-fridge and 24 hour room service for a small fee ($7 per plate) — the grilled chicken Caesar Salad was delicious.

Children will love the Barcy Kids Club with its own water park!  The beach along the entire Barcelo complex is absolutely beautiful!  Guests can enjoy a different show every night of the week in the massive air-conditioned theater.

A note on dining — Guests staying 3 nights or less are allowed one a la carte dining experience, staying 4-6 nights are allowed 4 a la carte and staying 7+ nights are allowed 6 a la carte.  Tell your guests to make their reservations AS SOON AS THEY ARRIVE!  The a la carte restaurants fill up quickly!  The buffet restaurants had a huge variety and food quality was superb!

This resort has sharing privileges throughout the entire Barcelo complex. I was extremely impressed with the service, food and attention to detail that was offered up by the staff!  You will  love this resort!  It’s a pleaser!

Stay tuned for more Barcelo reviews coming up!

Zoëtry Paraiso de la Bonita Riviera Maya

James Reese,  Apple Vacations Philadelphia Sales Manager, just checked in from Riviera Maya. I wanted to share what he had to say.

Hola, from sunny Riviera Maya Mexico! I’m busy seeing resorts and want to keep you updated!

The first stop on my tour was Zoëtry Paraiso de la Bonita Riviera Maya. You enter the lobby by passing between a pair of antique Balinese Lions for good luck.  This boutique style resort is decorated with original art from around the world.  All 90 suites are ocean front and individually named.

This resort is truly an oasis as there are no resorts on either side. Wellness, Relaxation, Pampering and Gourmet Dining are the agenda here!  Resort features 2 bars, 3 a la carte restaurants, American beer and top shelf liquor.  Offering a 5000 bottle wine cellar, this resort is a wine connoisseur’s dream!

Clients receive complimentary international calling, complimentary overnight laundry service, daily champagne and fruit in their suite and a complimentary 20 minute massage.  Clients can take the catamaran on a shopping adventure, enjoy a cooking or language class, a Tequila tasting or one of the many spa treatments!  Even Botox!

As with all AMResorts no wristbands, no restaurant reservations required and no restaurant restrictions!  This resort is a must for anyone looking to get away and unwind!

You have seen some GREAT rates out there lately from Apple Vacations for Gran Bahia in Riviera Maya.  Well, I just visited Bahia Resorts and all those smart people who booked looked like they were having a really great time!

Gran Bahia Principe Coba is a 5 Golden Apple. This resort is a great property for families and large groups. This is the newest property with in the complex which also offers the Grand Bahia Principe Tulum and Akumal.

An Apple Vacations guest exclusive is that when clients check into Gran Bahia Principe Coba, they can check into smaller lobby located in the Premier section where the check in process goes very quickly to get you on the beach enjoying your vacation ASAP!  And as always, Apple Vacations reps are available to assist you with anything you need! This hotel is an exceptional value!

Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun is a 6 Golden Apple Resort. This resort is one of my all time favorites and many of the agents I am with love it as well!  I would have to say the BEST part of this property is the beach -the sand is so white and soft and the water is crystal blue and turquoise.

This resort is adults only and is perfect for honeymooners or any one celebrating a special event or even perfect for a girls getaway!

They have an AMAZING spa and also a wedding coordinator right on site to plan your special day. With Maroma beach as your backdrop, the wedding pictures will be amazing!

This resort is only 20 miles from the Cancun Airport and only 15 minutes from shopping and dining for your clients in Playa Del Carmen! And don’t forget non stop transfers are included when you book Secrets Maroma with Apple Vacations.
