“A Great Family Vacation”
This was our first trip to the Riviera Maya and the Barcelo Colonial was great! A family with 2 parents, 3 kids and 2 grandmothers - we gave the hotel the test and were very pleased. Wonderful service, very accommodating and helpful staff. No front desk issues at all. Great kids waterpark, tons of pools, really nice beach with trees for shade, soft sand, clear water - even some fish for the kids to look at. The buffets and restaurants were very nice. We'd look forward to going back.
“Wish I could go back NOW!”
It was awesome, treated like royalty. Only one dance club that played almost all Mexican music.....was fun but music got old. No American beer served at all, but it still was an amazing time. We went for our honeymoon and plan to go back asap with our friends!
“Good choice in the Riviera Maya. excelent resort.”
We had been there before, in February 2007. It is a nice surprise to find the place so well mantained, like new after four years. The services are excelent, I'd like to have the Club Med option of arrows and bows, but there are enough entertaiments anyway. I had the feeling that the food was better the other time, but it is still very good. There´s one thing to take into account: the beach and shallow waters are full of rocks, stones. Be carefull!!!
“Excellent Resort - I will go back.”
I stayed at the Colonial section of the resort. We where right in the middle of the three resorts. The beaches, the pool, the food, the staff were all outstanding. I highly recommend the hotel. My only concern was with the bed. Harder than I expected.
“Not Too Bad!”
We were down recently for a wedding on the beach. Very pretty view, although the bride had some minor issues in getting everything lined up with the wedding planner. Pictures turned out beautiful! Most of the time was spent poolside, where the view of the ocean and pool was great. The food was okay at the buffets and restaurants. There were plenty of fun activities planned throughout the day poolside. Would consider going back again.
“Great beach!”
Expansive property with a beautiful beach that stretches for miles. There are rocky spots with reef great for snorkeling, and plenty of soft white sand as well. Room was big and well appointed, Buffet food variety was extensive but we did get bored of putting random plops of food on our plates. A la carte restaurants were average but a good break from the hotel.
“Clean & Beautiful but food was standard”
Barcelo is six resort areas all-in-one located an hour outside Cancun in Riviera Maya. Before leaving home, we set up a shuttle through Barcelo to pick us up and the airport and then bring us back again. The resort is beautiful and the staff was friendly. Pools are clean and plentiful. There is open access to the beach and ocean. Barcelo's concierge can also arrange day trips to nearby tourist attractions. My only complaint would be the food. Its standard at the buffet and at the specialty resturants. Besides that, there's a danceclub and a show every night at the theater. Buy souvenirs at the shop in the lobby, not at the independently owned shops in Plaza Mexico (unless you have SERIOUS bargining skills). If you go, book at room in Barcelo's ritzy Palace Resort.
“Very Impressed”
We had a great vacation at the Barcelo and were very impressed with the hotel. We would definitely recommend this hotel. The food was amazing, would definitely go back!
“"Can't wait to go back"”
My family and I had a great time it was everything we expected, I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.
“Best Trip Ever”
This resort was great. Beautiful, well kept grounds, great beach, good snorkeling right off the beach. The food was good with a large selection. Can't wait to return.
