Hey everyone, we're back with a resort tour! This time, we’re touring around Barcelo Maya Colonial in the Mayan Riviera.
Barcelo Maya Colonial is very centrally located in the Barcelo Grand Maya Resort, it’s super close to the U-Spa, waterpark, and Maya Mall, for those of you looking to get in your workouts and shopping in, and it’s also very close to restaurants located on the resort, and its sister resort Barcelo Maya Tropical. There are also two additional restaurants located in Maya mall for a bit more variety. The pools and the beach are a quick walk from all guest rooms, and there is night-time entertainment at the theatre on resort (shared with Tropical)

Known for its sleepy beach towns, boho-chic boutique hotels, fabulous local cuisine, ancient ruins, and jungle treasures, the Mayan Riviera is still one of the best places to visit in all of Mexico.

@@WherewegoingNext FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH: The Premium Level Lounges do not "fully stock" their complementary alcohol bar until the middle of the day. However, there is usually someone in the kitchen area at the back of The Premium Level Lounge & they will bring-out a cart that's laden with MANY bottles of "premium brand" alcohol. Normally the staff waits until mid-day to "fully stock" the lounge bar & it'll remain available until The Premium Level Office closes. I'm not sure "WHY" these lounges operate this way. But the staff is very helpful to their Premium Club Guests. When in need & no wait-staff are present, I usually opt for The Premium Level Bar. 🙂 Best regards from Yucatan Mexico, Ben P.S. Your videos on Barcelo Maya Grand Resort are very professional.

@@WherewegoingNext It's very unfortunate that your friends had issues with their room fridge, room phone, etc. I've stayed at Barcelo Maya Resort more than 20 times...as recently as 2022 & I have reservations for October 2023. Over the decades, I've watched its' expansion. Believe me, I've experienced such issues. But usually, my 2-week stays are perfect. I assure you, if a guest has an issue & it is unresolved with-in 24 hours, the management wants to know. Even if an ice machine in the corridor isn't working...they will have it repaired or replaced ASAP. So, for anyone reading my commentary...ALL UNRESOLVED ISSUES CAN BE QUICKLY RESOLVED BY GOING TO THE FRONT DESK & REQUESTING TO SPEAK TO THE HOTEL MANAGER. They all speak English. Best regards, Ben

Hi there, I love your informative videos. I’m booking a trip to mexico for the end of the month and just don’t know which one to decide on. I’m looking for one with excellent food options (nice fish and mexican food I’m from uk and don’t often get the choice), good waiter service, and lots of activities to do( I would like yoga and other activities all through the day) and then good night time entertainment as we aren’t looking to leave much. Would I be okay to ask your advice on which you think is best?

@WherewegoingNext Жыл бұрын

If you’re looking at a Barcelo resort, I recommend the Barcelo Maya Riviera (adults-only). It has excellent food - lots of selection and great a la carte restaurants 👍🏻 they also have yoga on the beach and various activities throughout the day. There is evening entertainment in the main lobby, as well as at all the other Barcelos on complex (which you have access to as well), plus the Maya mall 👍🏻 Another great resort is the Bahia principe Akumal - good food and excellent entertainment 👍🏻

Hello, I loved the videos on the Barcelo Maya Colonial. Can you please tell me if there are the typical TIME Share folks at the resort who try to sell you on a vacation club membership? I have been accosted by them at other resort and I know you have to be very firm with them. Where is the best place to book your ALaCarte dinners too? What time of year did you make this video? Thanks and keep more info on this resort coming.

If there are time share ppl, we definitely didn’t notice them 🤷🏼‍♀️ we didn’t experience anyone trying to sell us anything.

I’m sorry everyone has different experiences, I just went there and I don’t think I would recommend anyone. First of all, they need to upgrade with their key doors to the room, not just me but a lot of people had issues with the door keys everyday. I had to get new keys 4/5 days and the room was good 7 mins away from the lobby. That was extremely frustrating. And cherry on the top, there was a blackout yesterday around 8pm, no electricity, no water. Luckily we had family in Playa del Carmen who came to pick us up, we had to check out early. I couldn’t believe that a huge establishment like Barcelo doesn’t have back up generator. Like WTF ACTUAL. I’ve been to many countries and blackouts are normal but anytime there is generator picks up automatically. Guests only would realize for 1 sec, but that black out continued for hours, God knows how long it took.
