2nd Time Here and We Loved It!!
This is our second time staying at the Colonial and it was great! The rooms, pool etc are cleaning and well maintained. The staff is extremely friendly. The whole place is very kid friendly, we have a 2.5 year old. We did a boat ride with our soon, we took family photos through the hotel. Just all around another great trip!

9th visit to Barcelo Maya
9th visit to Grand Barcelo Maya since Covid. Booked tropical this time but was switched to Colonial at check in as the resort is very very quiet right now and tropical is going to be shut down for a week + it sounded like. Great weather all week and the sargassom was completely under control/cleaned on the beach. Snorkel everyday in front of the Palace and this trip saw a 4’ Nurse Shark, Eagle Rays and Sea Turtles like always but no 6’ Great Barracuda like my trip last May lol apparently there was a Bull Shark by the pier on Tuesday, happy I didn’t see that one lol Overall I love the Barcelo resort and go to this resort over and over specifically because of the great snorkeling on site and the amazing staff, was sad to see a lot laid off right now during the really slow season this trip. Ala Cartes were all great but again always the same menus (would be cool to switch it up once in a while or have more Tamahawk nights “type” specials at more than just Rodizio and Carribe), buffets were honestly definitely lacking this trip with the amount of options I’ve come to expect but given how few people were there it’s understandable. Thanks again to the amazing staff at the resort!! Special thank you to my Amigo German Lopez at the Tequila Lobby Bar!!!! 5* (best bartender at the resort hands down) Also the amazing Casino staff Alejandro Fabiola Eduardo Galo and more are so amazing and a huge reason I pick Barcelo but it was so sad to see that Augusto and Elena were recently moved to a different resort casino, I know the casino staff isn’t part of the Barcelo staff but Augusto and Elena were such a huge addition to the resort I think Barcelo should do everything possible to try get them back there instead of Bahia. They are the absolute best and were a huge huge asset to the resort!!! Thanks again for everything Barcelo see you again soon!!!!
