Stayed Dec 21–29 and had an awesome week. Room was cleaned well every day and the whole place is super tidy. The beach is gorgeous - soft sand, clear water - and we ended up walking a ton because the resort is big but easy to get around. Pools were clean and never felt packed; plenty of chairs and a fun swim-up bar. Staff were friendly everywhere (check-in, restaurants, housekeeping). Lots of food options and the bar was well-stocked - good wine and solid spirits, not just the basics. We felt safe on the property and beach the whole time. Only heads-up: it’s a large complex, so expect some walking. Overall, excellent stay and great value -would happily come back :-)

Our room was damp and moldy. We eventually got them to give us a better room for the last two nights of our stay. The sunrises were spectacular, the beach was wonderful. The food was descent. Booking anything with the hotel staff was challenging, everything took very long. I won’t go back there.

Got bumped from the hotel I booked "colonial" to another hotel inside the same resort "beach" without any warning ahead of time. Also, no clear policy on how rooms get assigned, we arrived very early in the morning so even in the case of overbooking which is the hotel's fault, I should have had priority. The food and entertainment at beach was clearly inferior than colonial. The room itself was ok with some issues with the shower head but the cleaning staff are excellent. The only bright spot in the check in experience is that the "beach" hotel reception let us check in early

Room was great, staff great and resort was in in fantastic shape. The only real negative that will stop us from ever returning in the process of booking dinner reservations. We stayed at the Maya Tropically a year ago and this Christmas at Maya Colonial . Unless you are premium level the reservations are non existent and very hard to get us you want 9:30pm every night. Holding back Reservations for VIP guests is a very poor decision as many visitor like ourselves will not return. I will be writing an email to management in the Barceló corporation to discuss our dissatisfaction. Everyone just apologized but no one ever tried to help. We visit Mexico from Isla Mujieres to Tulum multiple times a year. There is other resort that we have visited that has such a short coming as Barcelo for booking dinner reservations. This is very unfortunate situation for the Barcelo chain to have these concerns.This needs immediate correction for guests

Staff were friendly. The gym didn’t have much to offer. Our door lock/ key reader stopped working the second day and took a while to fix. My only real complaint was the food hours. Dinning didn’t open until 7am, which also meant no coffee until 7am, which is a problem when we wake up at 5, and some days had activities picking us up by 630. The grounds and pool were nice.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The rooms at this property have a bad odor, probably a combination of the high humidity and the resort itself is surrounded by trees, making it very damp. I think the Colonial might be the oldest in the group. The food had much to be desired, oddly the best meal I had was creating my own hamburger. The beach and pool areas where amazing. This resort is one of several on the same property, the Palace or Riviera might have been a better choice. This changed my option of an all inclusive resort, I think it might be better to choose a non-inclusive resort and have more control over what you can eat, the quality of the food, and the atmosphere. There isn't anything close to the resort so you would have to travel to get to other restaurants, bars, entertainment, etc. You do have the option to go to the other resorts on the property for some things, but we found it was more of the same. TIP: the surf is a bit rocky so either find a good spot or bring water shoes.

We had a good time at the resort overall, especially when it came to relaxing by the water. The property is very large, with plenty of space to swim in the pools or ocean and lots of room to lounge by the beach or poolside. The beach itself was excellent; the water was crystal clear and we were able to see plenty of fish very close to shore, which made swimming there a highlight of our stay. There is no shortage of activities, with options like tennis, pickleball, a bowling alley, go-karting, and a casino, and we also enjoyed the nightly live shows at the theater. On the downside, the whole property felt somewhat dated, especially the rooms. Even though the beds were advertised as queen size, our room had two twin beds, and when we requested a king, the only option offered was a ground-floor room, despite having paid for a superior category. Service around restaurant reservations was also frustrating: there was only one person handling bookings for the à la carte restaurants, which led to a very long line, and by the time it was our turn, there were no spots left for any night of our stay. The buffet food was very mediocre; over four days, not a single dish stood out or felt memorable. If your priority is simply to relax at a beautiful beach and enjoy the pools and you are not too concerned about food quality, you will likely not be disappointed here.
