Drone Video of Barcelo Maya Grand Resort

This video was taken prior to the building of the adults-only section (Barcelo Maya Riviera), but it does show the rest of this mega-resort.  The Barcelo Maya Grand resort is actually five (and soon to be six) resorts-in-one comprised of the Barcelo Maya Beach, Caribe, Colonial, Tropical, and the Palace resorts.  I visited here in the summer of 2018, so if you want to read my review and see my pics you can click here.

Drone Video of the Hotel Zone

Just for fun–found a drone video of part of Cancun’s Hotel Zone.  The drone didn’t make it as far south as the Westin, and also didn’t travel over the northern part of the Hotel Zone, but it was fun to take another peek at all the resort’s along the east side of the Zone.

Drone Video of Royal Hideaway Playacar

Take a look at Royal Hideaway Playacar from a drone’s perspective–this was taken prior to the renovations, so a few outdoor spaces may look a tad different here than what the resort currently looks like (re. Deck and Grill outdoor space specifically).  Have you been here since the completion of the renovations, and, if so, how does it compare?
