Please don't let those negative reviews worry you. NO hotel lets guests take food to the poolside - the person writing the negative review obviously hasn't traveled much. Most every hotel we've ever been to in a tropical location has limited seating by the pool - just a 'given'. However, we were here during spring break and never had a... more

The only problem I had with this hotel is that I didn't stay longer! The front desk staff was friendly and professional. The room was adequate with beautiful views and amenities. The air conditioner did not quite keep up with the 90 degree days (so we slept with the ceiling fan on high and only one sheet - which worked).... more

We returned to Tucancun and found it improved from 4/08. The front desk staff were friendly and obliging. The Activities Team was terrific. We had a ball with the poolside fun. It wasn't crowded so they had a dinner show 3 nights. We liked it. The food was good and the entertainment is good but the pre-show and aftershow band... more

Me and my friend came to barcelo from a week in miami and it was great to just be able to relax. The staff were lovely and friendly, the hotel itself was beautiful (and very clean). Entertainment was excellent at dinner and the other restaurants especially the mexican was lush! We also met many people that had told us it... more

We stayed from Thursday, Sept. 3 until Sunday, Sept. 6. The weather was perfect. The resort was not crowded at all. I was expected a large turnout for the holiday weekend. Had the pool and bartender all to ourselves for one day. Rooms were nice, my parents room on 5th floor had balcony with spectacular view. We were assigned a... more

I can see how some of the comments may ring true for some, but we had absolutely no problems and would certainly recommend this hotel to friends and come back again. Our travel agent said to use playaguy for the Barcelo because they have the best deals with the hotel. We did and spent less than the rest of our... more

This hotel was great. Because of our early flight we were able to check in an hour early. We received an ocean view room at no extra charge. The minibar was always stocked. Many people complained that they didnt have clean towels. Well they do have a sign in the bathroom asking you to reuse your towels but I left... more

wonderfull hotel, fantastic room, sea views well worth paing extra for if you havent already been allocated to a room with sea view. The food was plentiful and varied. Nice friendly staff, very helpfull and always smiling. Good standards within the hotel all round really. I would certainly return and would reccomend the hotel to anyone. The all inclusive deal... more

I traveled to Cancun from August 9-13 with my 15 yr old daughter. I absolutely loved the Barcelo Tucancun Beach. I loved the fact that all the hotel staff is so friendly and helpful. If you go to Cancun you have to go with Magni Charters, they are the BEST!!!! We traveled from Monterrey International Airport to Cancun International Airport.... more
