Mediocre resort, definitely not 5 star
Traveler Review By: Anonymous from Minneapolis, Minnesota
Date of Visit: February 2008
We just got back from the new Barcelo Maya Palace. While it is really a beautiful setting, we found that the service was poor to mediocre and the food was plentiful but bland and had very little variety. They didn't even put sugar in the desserts - and forgot that we all want chocolate for dessert. This is supposed to be a 5 star resort with a 5 star buffet and restaurants. The resort looks fabulous, but they have definitely cut corners on having enough staff and being creative with the food. We also were promised that we could make reservations at any of the restaurants in the 5 resort campus, but when we got there we were only allowed to make reservations at the 3 restaurants in our resort. We didn't like the evening shows either. We wanted to relax poolside, but unless you got up at 5:30 am to reserve a chair, you had to sit on the ground. Literally - 5:30 am. Not a 5 star resort.
