Our stay at Barcelo Maya Palace was absolutely wonderful! The service was outstanding, and the food was incredible, especially at the a la carte restaurants. The pools and activities for the kids made it family-friendly and entertaining. However, the sheer size of the resort might be overwhelming for those with mobility issues. Overall, it was an exceptional value for an all-inclusive experience, and we can't wait to return!

My stay at the resort was filled with ups and downs. The beach and snorkeling right off the hotel were fantastic, and the staff made us feel welcomed. However, the check-in process was chaotic, and the dining options, especially a la carte, left a lot to be desired. Despite the friendly service, I don't think the premium upgrade was worth it given the issues we faced.

I had a mixed experience at Barcelo Maya Palace. While the beautiful grounds and kid-friendly amenities were highlights, the dining options and front desk service left much to be desired. The pools were impressive and the beach was lovely, but issues with the room and the initial service detracted from the overall experience.

I recently had a fantastic experience at this resort, particularly appreciating the clean and spacious rooms, as well as the attentiveness of the staff. The pool and beach areas were wonderful, perfect for relaxation. However, I did find the ocean entrance a bit tricky due to hidden rocks and drop-offs. Overall, it's a great value for a luxurious getaway with minor drawbacks in the beachfront.
