A Wonderful Week at Barcelo Maya Colonial
I just finished a week- long stay at this resort. I had a wonderful time. Pools 5/5 ★★★★★: Being that I stayed at Colonial, I mainly swam in the Colonial pool. However, the Colonial and Tropical pools are right next to each other, and you can go to the different pools. The pools are very, very massive, and there's a lot of space. They are also very well-maintained, and there's no broken tile or anything. They are perfect. I also like that they are opened from 8am-8pm. Room 3/5 ★★★☆☆: I did give five stars for the resort, but that's because the Barcelo Resort, the complex, the size of the complex, and the amount of things to do and eat are truly remarkable. However, the standard room is not that fancy. The room, I would say, is about a three-star room. I only booked a standard room, and premium rooms are nicer, but my standard room had everything that I needed. I did find, however, that the beds were not that comfortable. My sink had issues the evening we arrived, but when we notified the front desk, it was quickly repaired. Food 5/5 ★★★★★: The food at this resort is five stars in my opinion. There is so much variety, and everything is cooked perfectly. Breakfast has two egg stations, many different types of yogurt, hash browns, and more. For lunch, we mainly ate outside at the poolside snack bar, which is open from 10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. They call it a snack bar, but truly, you can have lunch there. There's burgers, pizza, French fries, fish, desserts, and so much more. There was one day when we went inside for lunch, and inside also had many different choices, including a pasta station. For the dinner buffet, there is always something to eat. They had sushi one night, which I really enjoyed. At the buffets and the snack bar, all of the food options are always full, and almost everything is perfectly cooked. For restaurants, we tried Kyoto (Japanese) and Marenostrum (Seafood). The Japanese restaurant was by far our favourite. We ordered Surf & Turf, and it was very delicious. We had Marenostrum once and Kyoto three times. Strikers is a sports bar open 24 hours, located in the mall. There was always pizza, burgers, and items like that to eat. Service 5/5 ★★★★★: The service at this resort is very nice. They always have a lot of staff in the buffets, and there are two bartenders at the pool bars. I noticed that if you ordered a drink and finished it, they would always come back and ask you if you wanted another drink. You don't need to ask. Special shout-out to Vanessa at the buffet. She is great! Other notes: I really enjoyed the fact that there are fountains in the lobby and along the restaurant and buffet walkways. When you walk from the lobby to the restaurant, there are fountains on either side of the path, and it really was nice. My room was near the pool, and being that this is a large resort, it would only take about 30 seconds to walk to the pool. It took about 3-5 minutes to walk to the buffet and the restaurants. There is also a mall, and the mall is very close to Colonial. You can take the bus, but I just walked. The mall is very nice. One of the Japanese restaurants is in there, and Strikers, as I mentioned above, is in there as well. There are also shops in there. There is also a plaza just outside the lobby. There is always something to do at this resort. There are chairs everywhere to sit down and relax. Another thing I enjoyed is the open air theater. They had chairs as well as tables to put your drinks. All in all, I very much enjoyed my vacation here, and I am planning to come back to this resort and stay at Colonial again.
