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!

Apple Vacations announces another one-week sale starting today!  This time look for sales at Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Mexico and Bahia Principe Clubs & Resorts in The Dominican Republic and Jamaica!  Both chains are offering some great discounts on winter travel.  For details click here: http://tinyurl.com/yjhlwak

Here are some travel tips to find the best pricing:

• Travel midweek. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures usually have the best pricing.
• Be flexible. Early January and late April typically have the lowest prices.
• Keep checking. If you look one afternoon and the date you want is sold out, check back the next morning. Canceled seats go back into inventory overnight.
• Go for a week! 7–night vacations usually offer the best overall value. Compare a 3-night to a 7-night vacation and you will see it may be worth taking those extra vacation days and staying for 7 nights.
