    I just stayed here 2 weeks ago, this place is amazing! I would highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't been yet. The buffet food was great and the beach was awesome. Lots of excursions around the area to do as well.

    Yea I’m first! Was planning to upgrade to the palace but it was fully booked pre labor day, so we decided to just stick with our original reservation, the luggage scale is a plus, we were overweight on our 2 check in last time we are at the airport and Spirit air is a sucker on excess baggage fees! Hope the sargassum Armageddon is over by end of August.. fingers crossed🙏🙂

      arriving in February; getting progressively worse monthly.
      I've lived here since 2007 & this is the WORST year I've ever seen.

    How was the seaweed situation in this hotel? Was it affected this year? I'm planning to choose this hotel for next year's trip to Mexico. I went earlier this year to the Grand Riviera Princess, loved it. Great hotel and beach area, so I'm a bit hesitant about going back to the Princess or try this one out.
    The beach area is already a negative point, compared with the beach at the Riviera Princess, but it would be ok if there's no seaweed during Summer time at the Barcelo Maya.
