my second trip to cancun but first with a partner, and wont be the last. this hotel has an extensive list of strong points, a couple not so good, but all in all very well run and a nice place to be. the food is excellent, we found the variation at the buffet exceptional - maybe except for the desserts... more

Stayed at Barcelo Costa for 2 weeks with friends and was pleasantly surprised. Much nicer than what i saw in brochure,more spacious pool area and beach than what i was expecting from the pictures. Rooms were great,huge,comfy beds, large bathroom and shower, very clean. Towels changed and fridge re-stocked daily. Food in all restaurants was gorgeous and waiter service was... more

We stayed at the Barcelo costa cancun at the beginning of July 2009 for 2 weeks, we were a apprehensive after reading a few reviews complaining about about the food and drink and quality of the hotel. We had a really good time and really enjoyed the hotel, this is the 2nd time me and my wife have been to... more

Can only say good things about this hotel! From the Beach bar to the Albetros resteraunt the food was always good. The service around the pool and in the bar area was always spot on and never had to go to the bar for drinks and ordering more than one was never a problem! Getting downtown was never a problem,... more

This hotel is terrible, poor entertainment. The drinks dont have any alcohol in, everything is watered down to the extent that it makes you feel ill drinking it. The food was the worst thing, there was 13 of us on the holiday and every one of us was ill with food poisening for at least 3 days. They cook burgers... more

I'm not sure if any drinks actually contained alcahol.The bar area is part of the lobby and there's not enough seating.A lot of nights we went to our room as there were no seats.Still it's not all bad-i lost 7lb as i wasn't keen on... more

Me and my girlfriend stayed here in the last 2 weeks of July 2007, the hotel was as we had read on here. The pool - nice temperature, decent size and with no deep end (same depth all over) so this can only be good if you are taking kids or if you are not a strong swimmer. Beach only... more

My wife and I just returned from our trip yesterday and I want the first thing I will say is I don't know how they rated this 5 stars. It's not even 4 stars. We stayed at the Barcelo Tucancun 4 months ago and that was rated less but we liked it more. I have to agree with the last... more

We arrived on Friday at 1:00pm. We explained at the front desk that we had 3 other families arriving there that afternoon and that we wanted our 6 rooms nearby. Reuben the manager actually had the bell boy give us a tour of rooms on the 5th and 6th floor and let us pick our rooms. The pool is beautiful... more
