    Fun family vacation

    Family of 4 (2 children age 10 and 8) stayed at Colonial for 8 nights end of January. Overall had an excellent vacation as we were there as part of a larger family vacation, all of us from Canada. This our 6th time to the Barcelo Maya property, having previously stayed at Palace (3x), Tropical and Colonial. We love the grounds, the beach and the overall vibe of the resort. The food is pretty good considering they are feeding so many people. The only area of improvement would be the room updates, including some of the mold in our room and our bathroom shower was almost unusable due to calcium build up being so thick on it. We had asked them to replace it, but they never did, so showering each day was very time consuming with a trickle of water and 4 people needing to shower. Little things like this can be annoying on an otherwise great vacation.

    Family Vacay

    Great resort with endless options of activities. Colonial was dated and requires updating. The grounds were exquisite!

    Amazing bar staff at Piano Bar and beautiful beaches are the highlight.

    My husband and I spent the last week at Barcelo Colonial with his parents, siblings in their 30s, and our 11 and 13 year old nephew and niece. This resort was a good fit for a group with a variety of needs. A big highlight for us was spending every evening in the piano bar off the lobby. The musicians were top-notch and the bar staff were all so kind and helpful. Special shout outs to: Captain- Brenda Jordy Aldair Fatima Lopez Martine Jimnez Elvira demeza Jaimie We appreciated the personal and dedicated service all week and thank you for everything.

    An absolute must

    I’ve been to Mexico 7 times, Dominican Republic 2 times, and Cuba once. Needless to say every trip I’ve been on that wasn’t to the barcelo Maya resort, I was disappointed because it just didn’t compare to the barcelo. Food is excellent, service is excellent, drinks are excellent, and there’s endless things to see and do right on the resort. 3rd time being to this resort and looking forward to the 4th time already!
