As a travel blogger that lives in Playa del Carmen, I personally stayed at the adults only Barcelo Maya Riviera and here's my honest review!

interested in staying at Barcelo Maya Riviera?

01.

Pro: Modern rooms

All of the 850 rooms and suites are very new and modern. Plus, the majority of the rooms have a great ocean view and they all come with terraces with a large hot tub.

02.

Pro: infinity pool

Barcelo Maya Riviera has the largest infinity pool in the entire Riviera Maya and it's the real highlight of the hotel--with incredible ocean views and 2 swim-up bars.

03.

Pro: large beach

Barcelo Maya Riviera's beach area is really expansive with tons of lounge chairs and palm trees for shade.

04.

Pro: affordable price

Barcelo Maya Riviera is an affordable option compared to other luxury all inclusive resorts in Riviera Maya.

05.

Pro: Access to the entire barcelo complex

Guests staying at Barcelo Maya Riviera have access to the 5 other resorts in the Barcelo complex, providing endless options for dining and entertainment.

06.

CON: Limited daytime Dining

The only restaurant that is open for breakfast and lunch is the buffet, which can get a little repetitive after a few days.

07.

CON: Average service

The service at Barcelo Maya Riviera is good but not exceptional. But at a lower price point, I wouldn't expect 5-star service.

08.

CON: Large Property

Barcelo Maya Riviera has 850 rooms so it is a big resort. But the facilities are big enough to accommodate large amounts of people so it never felt overly crowded or congested.
