Barcelo Maya Riviera–New Video

There’s a new video out highlighting various aspects and amenities of the new adults-only resort, Barcelo Maya Riviera.  I’ve been tracking this one because it is the first resort at which I will be staying the end of February 2020.  The video shows room amenities and views, some food displays (think crab and other seafood for lunch buffet), as well as the pool and beach areas.  Some reports of recent guests say there still is no dinner buffet here which is surprising, but it may change once spring break arrives. I’ve heard this resort is extremely disabled-friendly with large ramps to be able to access the beach which is always a good thing.

Jr. Suite Oceanfront Video at the New Barcelo Maya Riviera

Interior resort videos are starting to come out at the new adults-only Barcelo Maya Riviera.  The resort just opened several days ago and it is slowly being filled by guests; right now it is pretty much a ghost town, but with Christmas and New Years coming up I’m sure the resort will be pretty much at capacity.  This new resort has 850 suites; 110 of them are swim-ups.  It will have the largest conference facilities in the Riviera Maya, so the resort has yet to experience what this will be like for the entire mega-resort (the entire resort property offers over 1.5 miles of beachfront with five additional resorts–the Barcelo Maya Beach which is right next door, the Maya Caribe, Maya Colonial, Maya Tropical, and the Palace which is at the far north end).

If you are familiar with the Majestic brand or have stayed at their all-inclusive resorts in the DR (Dominican Republic), you know that this name is synonymous with attentiveness to customer needs (an average of 1.5 staff members p/room), 5-star resort amenities, exclusive areas for adults with an upgrade, and the pinnacle of guest vacation requests–not having to make dinner reservations at a la carte restaurants.

The Haven Riviera Cancun is a resort that has been on my radar for quite some time; however, the price point (when I’ve checked) resulted in a “no bueno” vote when it came to booking.  If anyone sees any great deals for this resort please let me know, I’d love to jump on the chance!  Here’s what I believe to be the resort’s selling points: Continue reading →

Now Emerald Cancun used to be called Grand Oasis Sens–it is located on the east side of the “7” in the Hotel Zone.  While some renovations were made, the resort itself looks very similar with cosmetic changes and re-naming of public spaces.  The resort opened with its re-branded name in June 2019 and is fully operational at this point.
