It was a really really beautiful vacation. The hotel makes already at first sight a very nice impression, the entrance hall with the front desk and various shops is ideal for stay a.
We had our room to the garden out in the house Yucatan, the rooms were very quiet location and furniture was really nice and above all also clean. What is very important for us.
In the restaurants one has the agony of the choice, since we 14 days were there, we have 10 coupons for the specialties restaurant get. We also fully exploited, we loved the fact ... everywhere tasted very good, but the Japanese, the Mexican and the steakhouse we found the best. Is however also a matter of taste. The breakfast buffet left nothing to be desired, there are freshly prepared juices, pancakes, scrambled eggs with bacon, fresh fruit, sausage, cheese, vegetables uvw.
We always have lunch at beach eaten, it was the food always super. The Mittagbüfett and the buffet in the evening in the main restaurant varies from day to day is however always good.
The bars are also good, only in the colonial were the cocktails not very tasty.
The best bars you will find at the restaurants. But also the Havanna and the lobby bar tropical are great.
If you would like to buy., the 20 dollars for a taxi to Playa del Carmen invest.
There you could find everything what the tourist would like to. Beautiful jewelry, Hammocks, and other typical Mexican memory. We were also in Wallmart, get you suntan creams and various other things the' normal' prices, this is partially in the hotels expensive.
The hotel complex has a small 'Plaza mexicana', in the shops and a small market are accommodated. Here there was also everything, but one should, as everywhere, the prices comparisons. But that is everywhere so.
Then to the best, the pool and the beach. Simply a dream. read more

The hotel complex is really big and with a huge human cost well maintained. The condition is perfect. Such an overwhelming beautiful and neat, tropical garden area so far, we have not seen. All small faults at the hotel itself taken care of immediately. The staff are efficient and polite and always make an effort, the wishes your guests to fulfill. We had booked all inclusive and that's what we got. There is no reason to complain, except for a few things, which did not please us. The guests come mostly from the USA and Canada, very few german, a ... few italians were and also a few russians. If you are such a big hotel bay you must also be aware, that you are not alone. And lots of people to make more noise than a few. Well, unfortunately was the during our time the case, since Spring Break and the young people in their cliques constantly 'partying' were. read more

As already described by others heard the hotel a whole complex of from 5 different hotels. If you are staying at the Barcelo Maya tropical experienced, you should all areas of the other hotels use except from teuerstem, the deluxe. Everything is all inclusive. From young to old were during our travels all age groups represented. The majority of the guests are Americans and some Russians. At the end our vacation were even some Mexican families since. The whole complex is wonderful and best well-kept.
there is a wiki but unfortunately not free of charge! read more

A definite recommendation, but if you (like us) the very intensive pool disco music (1 hour daily 2 times) with boom boom-music you don't like the whole area, should the complex avoid. Even in the ocean was annoying Boom Boom booming noise. There was no escape! read more

For the second time Barcelo, for the first time, tropical, b archived

so the but., we were the second time at the Barcelo, the first time in the year 2010 at the Caribe, have a judge. The hotel complex, the grounds and the beach is so much written about, since I could not agree more: top area. But if you like this year we in a very full area (spring break), in the morning already early in the morning to the pool/beach must take, in order to make has longed to be opened to spread out a towel on the pool chairs (place in the shade), to eat on the way to ... one of the two restaurants and the space at the Caribe. On the question at the staff, why do we not allowed in the other restaurant (33% occupied) we were told the restaurant is full. When we disown, we had the free choice.
So we were in our 14 days only a few times in the tropical food. The other times we have gone to the Caribe. It was also very annoying the partly very loud Americans, with their huge Termobechern in the pool and sea to watch.
Conclusion: all the great vacation want to do, but wanted to save money, to go to the Caribe. The service in the restaurant was super, the beach around lengths better and there was no need to ensure chairs early in the morning.
We went on three excursions: 1. Xcaret theme park very worth seeing-, at the book plus package of care, since only eat once, 1 beer and 1 bottle of water costs. Otherwise backpack and take water from the hotel. Colectivo-cost drive just two people US Dollar/Mexican peso four 50
2. Muyil archaeological park, Sian Dschungelpfad Ka'an reserve, lagoon swimming in an old Mayawasserweg and finally swim in a Naturcenote. So take your swimming gear, insect repellent, and plenty of sun cream. Third parties in the U-boat to the island of cozumel at Atlantis the second largest reef diving. We stayed at the hotel picked up to Playa del Camen, from there, take the ferry to cozumel translate, by taxi to the investor and with a small boat to the U-boat.
Don't be put off by the colorful Werbeblättchen blinds. The reef was very monotonous, very little fish and solid. Well, in our opinion, this was not worth the price. If you want more Rüber however, cozumel, you could also without tour operator. Direct on the investors on the island is the hard-rock cafe cozumel. Great den, on the first floor is the restaurant with great interior fittings but also salted prices. But you have to see. Otherwise, it should be noted, that it is worth seeing in Playa del Carmen, the five Avenue (tourist) Night. If you are looking for souvenirs, or you can walk to the Walmart.
Finally, if we go back to Mexico we would prefer the Caribe the tropical.
A beautiful vacation like Veronika and Peter
PS: this time we took the extra time by plane from Düsseldorf KLM Amsterdam and from there with Martinair (daughter of KLM) to Cancun. With Air Berlin you can not with a body about 1.90 meters without much too must pay. With Martinair flight 65.00 per person and euro. It was well worth it. Although here only spoke Dutch and English, but we wanted to marry the crew not. read more

We had booked 14 days/all inclusive and were in the tropical very good. It was spring break and the hotel was full of US citizens. But it was never really full, since the complex is huge. The facilities of the tropical is identical to the colonial. The palace is the dream and the Maya beach in günstigerem price. If you 'a bit more luxury' like expected, should book at least colonial/tropical. Generally you can relax in the area very well and be pampered. We had to discover (Belize, pyramids, flamingos, goose, etc.) a rental car from Germany. Car was ... brought, as other lenders than in the hotel. Easy. What is missing is a golf course or cooperation with a golf course. The prices in Mexico are very high. The restaurants (show cooking) and Thai Mare Nostrum are great and the service was great and very helpful. We enjoyed it very much. Here we set our own high standards. read more

This hotel is a very beautiful and extensive plant with a well-kept garden area. The hotel is a cluster of five hotel complex with ascending quality. The tropical is the 'best' Hotel. You can use all the facilities of the other hotels for Barcelo-complex including restaurants and bars use except the most expensive hotel, the Barcelo Maya palace, which significantly more expensive than five stars hotel. Barcelo Maya tropical beach that really left nothing to be desired! The food tasted really super and there was always plenty of choice between Mexican and international cuisine. The hotel beach is gorgeous! It ... is located between palms at the coral sand beach (sand is pleasantly cool) with turquoise sea. In certain places are a couple larger and sharp stones available. But if you want a few meters away is, you got along without problems into the sea. The guests in the hotel area is mainly from the United States and Canada, so you hear mainly English and French. German-speaking, it is hard to avoid. As I speak English, I was able to reach an agreement there. I am a guy at the front desk on arrival, greeted in German and the food at the buffet is also described in German. The hotel is located on the North South route, the MEX 307, outside of towns. This brings you the cheapest with the group taxis, the so-called minibusses, about 50 minutes past the all and which you zuwinkt, so that they can take a break and. Souvenir shops but there are plentiful in the hotel. With US dollars everywhere you can actually pay. In this hotel you can but also to the front desk euro. The excursion offer is also very good. read more

A great vacation! As we all are water lovers we were just right! Snorkel with turtles, play Polo International, canoeing. Great! With turtles snorkeling and discover the underwater world. The sea is so great, we were disappointed with total Xel Hal! We have a lot of the entertainment, which was unobtrusive and in the organization and implementation of water polo, volleyball, football, among other things. We found it good. The beach was sadly partly with hidden stones. Food and drink was fantastic. We and our children were absolutely loved it. There were four issues-restaurant in. Luxury!
So we have seen ... a real dream!
Our kids (13 years old girl, ten years old) had were absolutely loved it! read more

Had originally booked the Maya beach, but because the Hotel was not fully booked at this time, when we walked into our tropical. Since everything was to our satisfaction, we couldn't complain on this situation. On the contrary, we were looking forward to it, that in the hotel were so many people. The staff was always friendly and helpful and also the booked tours through our travel guide were very well organized.
All in all a very nice vacation and very recommendable. read more
