My stay at this resort was disappointing overall. While the location had great views, the service was hit or miss, often leading to frustrating experiences. The dining options didn't live up to expectations, and the beach was far from appealing. The facilities had their moments, but they could definitely use improvement.

I had a fantastic time at the resort! The beaches were breathtaking, and the pools were perfect for relaxation. The staff was friendly, especially our server who remembered our drink preferences. While the cleanliness of our room could have been better, the overall experience made up for it. I just wish the room cleanliness was up to par with the rest of the great amenities they offer.

I had a wonderful time at the resort with its clean, well-maintained grounds and an array of activities for families. The variety of restaurants offered delicious options, but the dining experience could be improved as some dishes were a bit limited. While the location was great with easy access to the beach and entertainment, the service at check-in was frustratingly slow. Overall, it was a decent value, but a few minor issues held it back from being perfect.

We stayed at Barcelo Maya and had mixed experiences. While the scenery and beach were stunning, the room we had felt outdated and musty. The dining options were diverse and enjoyable, but we faced some issues with service and a frustrating restriction on restaurant reservations. The overall value for money was decent, but I expected a bit more given the occasion.
