The beauty of the Riviera Maya in Mexico is still accessible to Americans, safe and affordable at the luxurious all-inclusive Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe. The resort is situated on 2 kilometers of pristine white sand beach between Cancun and the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum. A vacation at Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe is unlike one you'll experience anywhere else.
Accommodations
Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe is a five-in-one resort complex of luxury rooms and suites with a variety of accommodations for both couples and families. There are several room options:
- Family Suite Deluxe with terrace or balcony offers 1000 square feet with interconnected rooms. This is perfect for families or two sets of adults. It comfortably sleeps 4 adults or 2 adults and 4 kids.
- Junior Suite Deluxe with terrace or balcony is 484 square feet and offers views of the hotel gardens. These rooms sleep a maximum of 5.
- Junior Suite Deluxe Ocean View Club Premium is also 484 square feet, but offers stunning views of the sea with terrace or balcony and full benefits of the Club Premium. (Views will vary depending on the floor and the building, but all face the waterfront.) These rooms sleep a maximum of 5.
- Michoacan Presidential Suite is a third-level room with views of the pool and tropical gardens and over 1900 square feet of living space. There is a bedroom with king bed, guest bathroom, terrace with Jacuzzi, aromatherapy menu, and benefits of the Premium Club. The suite sleeps 3 people maximum.
Amenities
The beauty of Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe is two-fold: it is an all-inclusive resort and, as a guest at the luxury property of this five-in-one resort, you can enjoy the amenities of all five resorts.
On-site activities include seven lit tennis courts, in-pool aqua aerobics, snorkeling, kayaking, diving, mini golf, beach volleyball, sailing, and windsurfing. There is also an adult-supervised Barcy Kids' Club and a family entertainment program with nightly live performances.
There are multiple pools at the resort, each offering a different array of water jets, fountains, and slides for the kids. The adults-only pool is an oasis with extra-wide cabanas, chaise lounges, and chairs partially submerged in the water. You'll find all of it just steps from the bar - and a seemingly endless supply of mango margaritas (or your favorite tropical treat).
There is also a large gym on the property with the latest equipment. There is also an on-site travel guide who can help you book off-site tours, catamaran trips, visits to Mayan ruins, and more.
Spa
The 16,000 square foot newly renovated Body Light Spa offers ultimate relaxation in an atmosphere inspired by the Mayan philosophy and tradition. The spa spirals around, weaving you into the intimate interior where the treatments take away the last remnants of daily stress. If you prefer, you can enjoy your treatments beach- or pool-side.
Food and Drink
One of the most unique aspects of Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe is that it is an all-inclusive resort with exceptional food. You can put your wallet away when you arrive and not have to pay for any of your food or drink for the remainder of your stay at the resort.
At the Maya Palace Deluxe alone, you have a huge selection of dining options, ranging from massive buffets to bars or restaurants, including the 24-hour lobby bar. There are 2 air-conditioned buffets, both overlooking the water. One offers Mexican cuisine, while the other serves international cuisine. A beachside grill serves 500 guests. There are 5 more upscale restaurants, each offering a different cuisine: Brazilian, French, Caribbean, Oriental, and local cuisine.
But as a guest of the Maya Palace Deluxe, you have even more options. Unlike guests staying at the other on-site resorts, you can simply walk down the beach or jump on the "train" to visit the restaurants and buffets at any of the other resorts. With the combination of all the resorts, you can enjoy fine dining cuisine from around the world: Brazil, France, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Japan, Italy, the Western US, Spain, and Mexico.
