- If you're going to an all-inclusive resort, one of the biggest questions people have is about the food and restaurant options. Since the Barcelo Maya Grand is so huge, it means you are going to have lots and lots of options for where to eat and what's available. That's great, but it can also be overwhelming. In this video I'll show you around all of the food options that are included in your resort package so you can see what looks tasty for you. To start, there are huge buffets where you can get your breakfasts, lunches, and dinners (including special dinner theme nights). If you'd rather be closer to the water, they have beach grill buffets where you can grab your lunch while looking out over the ocean. Then for dinner they have 8 different a-la-carte restaurants to choose from. And if you get hungry late at night, they even have snack bars and small buffets at some of the bars. Lots of options!
In this video I'll show you the Barcelo Maya Grand, resort food, buffets, beach grills, a-la-carte restaurants, snack bars, room service, the Tropical-Colonial buffet, the Caribe-Beach buffet, breakfast buffet foods, lunch buffet foods, taco stations, dinner buffet foods, buffet theme nights (North American, Asian, Italian, Steak, Spanish, Seafood, Mexican), self-serve tequila, poolside lunches, Palmeras Grill, El Mariachi Grill, Captain Morgan Grill, Rancho Grande Grill, how to make a-la-carte reservations, Santa Fe Steakhouse, Capri, Marenostrum, Kyoto, Tokyo, La Trattoria, La Fuente, Mexico Lindo, Strikers, Mexico, the Riviera Maya/Mayan Riviera, and more!

Thank you for showing food options at Barcelo which are NOT the premium resorts. Very informational.
Thanks for the great video series!
I've been to the Barcelo Maya grand 3 times and there's things I didn't know until I watched your videos, thanks for the videos, very informative.
That's so great! I thought it would be useful for new people but am really glad to hear that you found it good, too.
Pronto estamos por ahí 👍🥂
Absolutely enjoyed your review of the restaurants, I would travel there tomorrow if I could, thank you👍🏼
This was such a great and super informative video! We'll be at Barcelo Maya this summer!!
Thanks! These videos are so good!! I cant wait to see the rest
I'm glad you like them!
@@FirsthandGlobetrotting do they give you a map , the place looks huge!!!!
Yep! There are maps on the walls around the resort and you can download it on your phone, but they also had printed ones that they would give you at the check-in desks.
@@FirsthandGlobetrotting I'm glad!! Thanks
@@FirsthandGlobetrotting Hola & Hello, This is absolutely the most straightforward, unbiased review of the Barcelo Maya Resort I've ever
watched & I've watched them all.
I'm going to the Barcelo Maya Beach on October 8th & I have a question.
Do you remember if the buffet restaurant provides wine for their lunches
and dinners? I was told they have self-serve wine & beer stations.
I appreciate your consideration and wait for your reply.
Best regards,
Ben
Great video! When were you there for your trip?
I was there in the middle of February 2020 for 11 nights.
Thank you! How did you learn what nights had what themes for each buffet?
They had the themes on a weekly schedule and we were able to ask the front desk what they would be.
How was the seaweed when you went to this resort? Do you know what months the seaweed is an issue? Love these videos!
I had almost none - maybe a little but it wasn't even noticeable and they clean the entire beach every morning. I'm not sure if there is a specific season for the seaweed, but when I was there in late February it was perfect.
Thanks for this video! Is there a place for Starbucks style coffees/lattes? Not sure my kiddo will survive a week without that. LOL
I don't think they have a coffee shop at the resort but every one of the buffets and beach grills were able to make coffees/lattes/iced coffees if you ask. I think some of the lobby bars can get you a regular coffee but I don't know if they can make fancier coffee drinks.
Are you able to order regular brand liquor drinks? I've stayed at other resorts where only off brand liquors were available.
Pretty much everything I saw behind the bars were either well-known international or Mexican brands. Some of the international stuff was considered "premium" and was extra (or free if you were in a premium room).
Hello I've been watching your videos. Is there a way you can find out what theme nights are in the buffet? thanks for your help
When I went we asked the front desk and they had a list of what each night's themes would be at each buffet. You may be able to email them and find out the current schedule.
Would booking the Barcelo Maya Palace include access to the a la carte restaurants for each night of the trip?
Usually with Palace and Riviera you get a la carte dinners every night (if you want).
thank you for sharing. Do you pay tip when u leave all those restaurants. If so, how much do you tip? Thanks.
Most people would tip their servers at the buffets and restaurants. The amounts vary a lot depending on the person but usually 50-100 pesos per person.
Do all the main lunch buffets usually have a taco station?
The big main buffets had taco stations everytime I went, but the beach grills only had tortillas that you could make your own with stuff in the buffet.
Do you know how the vegetarian options are or the buffet and restaurants?
I think every restaurant and buffet had a few vegetarian options. I've heard they are very good with diets and allergies, so you could probably get them to make meat-free versions of some of their dishes.
When you will have part 4?
It should be up on Wednesday.
Can you drink after 2am at the sports bar? We have a trip booked in August for our first time out of the US!
I think when I was there Strikers was serving until around 4am.
When I was there during covid it was 2am.
I love your videos I saw there was a ADO bus stop at Playa del Carmen are u familiar with anyone who took their bus to or from the airport...I heard u can take the bus to Playa then get a taxi to resort..how much is a taxi from Playa to Barcelo..
I haven't done it myself but the ADO bus station is right along 5th Avenue in Playa del Carmen (the main very touristy road). The price of the taxi will depend on the taxi driver and how good you are at negotiating. Most of them start with prices around $30-35 USD but I was able to get them down to around $20 USD (if you don't mind trying a few). So depending on the price for a taxi + bus ticket, it could be close to the price for a car service to pick you up at the airport (unless you can get a good taxi price).
May I ask what camera you used?
Most of the footage was just my phone, a Pixel 3.
@@FirsthandGlobetrotting Thanks. It looks sharp.
Which restaurant is the lobster?
The seafood restaurant Marenostrum was the one that always had lobster on the menu.
