I had an amazing time at the Barcelo Maya Palace! The resort is stunning with beautiful landscaping and a clean beach perfect for snorkeling. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, making my stay feel like a real getaway. However, while the dining options were mostly good, the quality varied at some a la carte restaurants. Overall, it's a fantastic place to unwind, especially if you love being by the ocean and enjoying various activities.

I had an amazing stay at the Palace. The beach was beautiful and well-maintained, and the pools were absolutely stunning. Our dining experiences were fantastic, especially at the a la carte restaurants. However, I did notice that the buffets had limited variety day after day, which was a bit disappointing. The pricing felt justified for the premium experience, particularly with the added amenities in our suite.

Barcelo Maya Palace is simply breathtaking, offering stunning ocean views and a beautifully maintained resort. The rooms are spacious and come with lovely balconies, making it a dream to relax and take in the scenery. While the dining at the buffet is enjoyable, the premium experience didn't quite meet expectations, particularly with the drink quality. Overall, it's a fantastic place for those seeking a relaxing getaway, although it can get a bit lively and might not suit everyone.

The Barcelo Maya Palace is an outstanding resort with beautiful facilities and a vibrant atmosphere perfect for families. The rooms were well-maintained and comfortable, with great views. However, navigating the large property can be a bit tiring, especially for couples looking for a quieter experience.

We had a fantastic time at the Barcelo Maya Palace, with so much to do for our family. The beach was absolutely stunning, and we loved the snorkeling options, but the rooms had some issues like a broken lock on the balcony. Overall, the staff were great, but the check-in process could be improved, and the pool was a bit cold for our tastes. Still, it was a memorable vacation for us!
