"Dinner reservations are a bit difficult and very hard to get in there’s no app to book you have to get up at 7am in the morning to walk down and try to reserve . Not fun when you’re on vacation. And there’s really no good bars to go have drinks that are open during the day except pool bars. If the made it easier to make dinner reservations I would have loved this resort."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Barceló Maya Riviera Adults Only All-Inclusive Resort 🇲🇽🌴 1000/10! Barceló Maya Riviera has been an AMAZING experience! 😍 From the beautiful property to the relaxing atmosphere, this resort is everything I could ask for in any getaway. If you’re looking for an adults-only, all-inclusive vacation with plenty to explore, this is definitely one to consider! One of the BEST perks is that this resort is part of a community of six Barceló resorts, and because I’m staying at Barceló Maya Riviera, I get access to all six! 🤯🙌 That means I can explore the different resorts and enjoy food and drinks throughout the resort community. Also, there are multiple fine dining restaurants that are included!! Talk about getting your money’s worth! There are so many options, and I love having the opportunity to experience different restaurants, atmospheres, and amenities all in one vacation. Between enjoying the resort, relaxing, exploring, and having plenty of food and drinks to choose from, there’s so much to make the most of. I love that I’m not limited to just one property during my stay! My overall rating is 1000/10! 💯🔥 I would absolutely recommend Barceló Maya Riviera to anyone looking for a beautiful adults-only, all-inclusive getaway in Mexico. If you’re planning a trip to the Riviera Maya, put this one on your list! 🇲🇽🌊🍹💜"
