"Didn't enjoy the food and drinks"

"Catalonia Riviera Maya can be a good option if you’re visiting Quintana Roo on a budget, but there are a few things to keep in mind before booking. First, there isn’t a traditional beach—just a small bay where you can swim. It’s still enjoyable, but it may not meet expectations if you’re looking for long sandy stretches. Restaurant reservations are quite limited. For example, during our 9-night stay, we were only able to book 4 dinners. You can try going to the restaurants around 6 PM to check for last-minute availability (often around 9 PM), but it’s not guaranteed. Also, meals are restricted to one appetizer, one main course, and one dessert per person. Rooms are decent if you book a deluxe option, though they could definitely use some renovations. The resort grounds are well-maintained, and most of the staff are friendly, though we did encounter a few less welcoming interactions. Food overall is average—definitely edible, but not a highlight of the stay. On the positive side, the spa and gym facilities are excellent. The Italian restaurant stood out with great service, especially from Alejandra and Lucas. Overall: A decent budget-friendly resort with some trade-offs, especially in dining and beach quality."

"This was our second stay at Barcelo Maya Palace. We love having so many options and being able to play at each of the resort's pools, water slide parks, and beaches. The resort's location is also so nice and close to the Xplor and Xel-ha parks. One disappointment this visit was we weren't able to get a reservation at the teppanyaki restaurant, even thought we inquired when we were checking in."

""The resort in Playa del Carmen had so many wonderful aspects—beautiful grounds, fantastic food, and most of the staff were exceptional. However, I had a deeply upsetting experience. After being seated in a restaurant, my girlfriend was asked to leave due to a dress code, which was incredibly embarrassing, especially since we were already seated. The assistant concierge manager’s response was frightening—he spoke in a threatening, almost thuggish way, and it left us uneasy, especially as tourists in a foreign country. I also made a mistake by reacting in anger and disrespecting her on the way out, and I deeply regret that. My reaction was a response to feeling powerless, but I take full responsibility. Despite this, I hope the resort addresses this behavior, because it otherwise has great potential. I give the resort 3 stars—the staff and setting were fantastic, but this incident left a serious mark on our experience.""

"Such an awesome pool and they are right on the beach "

"Chez Waffle has a pretty back lounge area with view of the water and fish swimming into the inlet. The condition of the rooms is a bit dated. The prices of food on the high side. It is extremely quiet in this gated community. If you want lots to do, you are isolated. I did diviving and day trips every day, so spend little time at the hotel (only evenings). The local busses that run between Playa an d Tulum are excellent. Very cheap! Overall, enjoyed my stay and would do this again. I recommend it."

"Shower master room BROKE. Bath clogged. Couldn’t take a shower first 2 days. There is no beach 5 min walking distance as offered."

"The condo was very nice, large and spacious. Had everything we needed. Would definitely choose this property in the future. "
