Review by Laurie, 8/5/2016
Hi Dave,
We had a great trip and truly enjoyed the resort. It was perfect for families.
Our transfers service was nice. Love that it was private! I would recommend this resort for families.
We went to Xel Ha and had a great time. We would definitely refer others to this excursion. Thank you for organizing everything for us.

We loved the resort and the room was perfect for us! The ocean view was beautiful during the day and very romantic during the night. We did go on a excursion that we booked with the transportation company that you guys recommend. It was a really long day and we found out how great Hyatt Ziva really was by listening to other people complain about where they were staying. I am very thankful that we used your agency a lot of complaints from other people that booked online at other places.

Kim,
Overall we thought the Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe was a pretty solid resort. The facilities and resort itself was very nice. Only downfall was for the first couple days our room was really far away from everything so it was a pretty long walk to the beach/pool area. However, they moved us up closer as rooms became available after a convention. We really liked the Japanese steak house and the complementary drinks were nice.
Excursions we did was four wheeling from the resort to a nearby under water cave which was a shorter fun excursion for only $60. The other was a snorkeling excursion where we went out on a boat and saw a different reef. The reef itself wasn’t anything that special – but getting able to ride on the boat was alot of fun.
Thanks again for all you help in setting it up – overall it was successful trip and my wife enjoyed herself.

Thank you for a flawless trip! It was an absolutely beautiful resort, location and BEACH! Wow! We were extremely satisfied with the pool, bars, night-life. Our travel accommodations were seamless and timely (definitely recommend the non-stop flight!) Rooms were a bit messed-up when we arrived (tried to put our kids into a freshly painted room - still wet paint - then later into a room with three of them into a room with a king sized bed - but after a few calls to the front desk - it got worked out.
We took a cab into Playa one afternoon just to experience some of the local fair, but had plenty of that after only a couple of hours - pretty touristy. We did take a Tulum 1/2 day excursion that was awesome (included zip lines, repelling and a guided tour of the ruins) that we found to be well worth the money ($100 each).
The only knock on the place was the quality of the buffet food. Seems to be a common issue we run into. The specialty restaurants were very good, the daily buffet was flavorless and limited - seemed more targeted to the European pallet. We have just grown accustomed to the fact that this will always be a shortcoming and we didn't go hungry.
You guys rock! You have always set us up well and we will definitely be reaching out to Love to Travel in our future excursions!
