Barceló Maya Colonial
Barceló Maya Colonial is a large beachfront resort in the Riviera Maya with multiple building clusters arranged around tropical gardens. The property offers rooms in varying styles, several dining venues and bars, multiple swimming pools, and direct access to the beach and coral reefs offshore.
The resort was built during the 1990s as the Riviera Maya emerged as a major tourist destination. It belongs to the Barceló Hotel Group, a large international hotel company operating properties across many countries.
Access is best by car or shuttle from the nearby town since the property sits outside the main populated areas. The entire grounds are quite spread out, so comfortable walking shoes make sense when exploring the different zones.
The resort shares a private beach section with the adjacent Barceló Riviera Resort, giving both hotels access to a particularly quiet stretch of coast. This arrangement provides guests with a less crowded sandy area than at many other resorts in the region.
