Barceló Maya Beach

At the top of every sun-seeker's bucket list is a beach vacation on the Riviera Maya. Those sandy beaches, turquoise waters and hot temps beckon Canadians in the colder months. Barceló Maya Beach is nestled along the Riviera Maya about an hour’s drive from Cancun International Airport and Tulum International Airport. The all-inclusive resort sits on two kilometres of sandy shores just down the coast from Playa Xpu Há, ranked by The World’s Best Beaches as one of the 50 top beaches in the world. And with their “Stay at 1, Play at 4” concept, guests of the family-friendly Barceló Maya Beach get to also experience the facilities and amenities of the Barceló Maya Caribe, Barceló Maya Colonial, and Barceló Maya Tropical.

Your family will never run out of new things to try at Barceló Maya Beach and its sister resorts. Staying at one and playing at four gives you plenty of opportunities to experience the amenities Barceló Maya Grand Resort has to offer. We’re talking up to 16 dining options (eight of which are specialty, à-la-carte restaurants), 15 bars, a variety of swimming pools and much more, all set along two kilometers of white-sand beach and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.

Head to the resort's Maya Mall for fun – there you’ll find a shopping centre, 24-hour sports bar, 18-hole mini golf course, a six-lane bowling alley (charges apply), and more. The U-Spa Wellness & Fitness Centre and U-Kids Spa can be enjoyed by everyone at the resort. Spanning more than 3,000 square metres, the spa facility includes treatment rooms, floatation chambers and a hydrotherapy program, as well as a world-class gym.

Swimming options overflow at Barceló Maya Grand Resort – there are a variety of swimming pools at each resort, each with its own vibe (and bar), including an adults-only pool. Families won’t want to miss the Pirates Island Waterpark with water slides and surf rides (charges apply). On the beach, you’ll find plenty of loungers and watersport equipment for snorkelling, sailing, windsurfing, and kayaking.

If you like to stay active on vacation, Barceló Maya Beach has you covered. With a wide range of sports facilities, including two tennis courts, two paddle courts, a multi-functional court, a basketball court, and a soccer field, this is the ideal place for sports lovers.

The younger members of the family are catered to as well. The Barcy Kids Club, staffed by a team of professional caregivers, offers a program full of activities, sports, games and shows for children between the ages of four and 12, providing parents with a moment to relax.

The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. You’ll find two theatres within the Barceló Maya Grand Resorts offering a different show each night, with dancers and live music. For teenagers aged 12 to 15, Disco One offers fun in a safe environment with music and non-alcoholic beverages. And for adults there’s Jaguar’s Discotheque, open until 2:00 a.m. with music and cocktails.

Just when you thought “all-inclusive” was as good as it gets, Barceló Maya Beach takes it up a notch with their Premium Level service. Both the Junior Suite Ocean Front Premium Level and Suite Ocean Front Premium Level accommodations come with a whole lot more than ocean views. The elevated experience starts right upon arrival with private check-in at the Premium Level Lounge.

Premium Level also gets you a bottle of sparkling wine upon arrival, nightly turndown service, superior toiletries, in-room pool towels, and VIP mini-bar with snacks and beers. Dining is elevated with premium liquors at all the restaurants and hotel bars, plus unlimited reservations at the eight specialty, à-la-carte restaurants across all four resorts (stay at one, play at four applies here too). Additionally, you’ll receive 24-hour room service allowing you to dine with ocean views from your suite, a 20% discount on spa and beauty salon services and complimentary access to U-Spa’s hydrotherapy circuit.

The Premium Level Lounge will be your headquarters for concierge services to assist with your dining and spa reservations, as well as any other help you may need. Here, you’ll also be able to enjoy drinks, continental breakfast and canapés, plus a selection of board games and newspapers.
