ACTIVITIES at Barcelo Maya Grand Resort | Extra Costs to Consider | Riviera Maya Cancun Mexico

[@jaynicho2007]

I’ve stayed here it’s absolutely fantastic and the beaches are breathtaking.

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

I’m having a hard time finding another resort with as nice of a beach!

[@jaynicho2007]

@@BrittsGoodGetaways Stunning beach isn’t it, we had the best time there and jet skiing was unreal!

[@lanceg9631]

Another great video. I appreciate you breaking down what is included and what is not!! Keep up the great information

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

Thanks!

Thank you so much!!!

Looks great! Can’t wait to visit ❤️👍🏻

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

Thanks!

[@MUFCXI]

Exactly what I needed to know. Don’t care much for the cost, but just need to know what to do to keep busy WHILE we are at the resort. We are already looking to go to xel-ha, but wanted other activities for the kids, wife and I. Excellent video!

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

Thank you! Enjoy 😊

[@michelemuir3158]

Thanks for the video! We will be there in September!

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

Thanks for watching! Have fun!

[@savannahjohnston1533]

How much extra is the waterpark? I'm most interested in the flowrider surf machine! Thank you!

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

Thanks for watching! The last I looked, it was $20 a person for a day or 60 for a week pass

[@momoney2203]

The grand at moon palace offer all this in your all inclusive stay!!! That's y they number 1

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

Ive heard good things about them. I definitely want to check them out!! Do you know if even the jet skis are included??

[@momoney2203]

@@BrittsGoodGetaways motorized sports are not part of all inclusive. But waterpark, bowling, arcade room all park of all inclusive

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

@@momoney2203 thank you! Good to know. I hope to be able to go there one day

[@Toiizloved]

Noon Palace seems to be way more expensive. Do you think the prices balance out if we go to Barcelo?

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

@@Toiizloved i think it depends if you bring a lot of kids to pay for. Me and my husband went to the water park one day out of 7. And we went bowling one time and paid and did putt putt during the day so it was free. We didn’t do arcade but grand moon i think includes arcade or had a limit they give guests. I just looked up prices between the two. I picked a random week in November and same exact days and grand moon was 2grand more than Barcelo with premium at the palace (which is highest up you could go with kids). I think it would seem nice to have the kids not have to take money to get into places but unless you have a lot of kids to pay for I don’t think they could spend 2g for the week. I will say grand moon has a better water park but not 2 grand worth lol. But i have never been to grand moon so I cant say if the resort is that much better in general! Hopefully one day! I’ll definitely be looking out for deals.

[@casss6411]

thanks fo much for these videos! it has been super helpful to plan my trip. Is there still nightlife/entertainment open? theatre, casino, disco, and mall open? Thanks!

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

Everything but the disco! & Thank you so much glad to help :)

[@willazajac1179]

Great video! I’m in the process of planing a family trip here in April! I’m so torn which of the 4 to stay in! If not in palace do you have to pay for Wi-Fi? Also, weird question but which one is closest to soccer field and basketball courts? Traveling with our three sons who love sports and the pool! Thanks so much for the help!

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

Hello! Wi-Fi is included. I would say tropical is closest to the soccer field and basketball court. There’s also tennis that is more by the colonial. You really won’t go wrong with any of the 4. You can around to all the sections pretty easy!

[@willazajac1179]

@@BrittsGoodGetaways one last question.. would you recommend paying the extra to stay at the palace at Barceló or pay the extra to upgrade to premium at the tropical or colonial? I can’t decide which would be the better way to go 😩We are traveling with our three kids.. 8, 11, 18! Thank you again soooo much!

[@adriangalexis]

Do you happen to know how to book the dinner on the beach? I’m going next week wed for wife’s birthday and would like to do that. Can I book that in advance?

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

As far as I know, you can only book once you are there which you can do at guest services. You can do it when you check in when they book all your restaurants. I’d try to do it as soon as possible. Remember if you are premium you get a discount and also ask if you can get a discount using it as one of your dinner vouchers instead of going to a restaurant that day unless you want to go to a restaurant as much as possible. Enjoy!

[@adriangalexis]

@@BrittsGoodGetaways thank you so much for fast response!

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

@@adriangalexis you’re welcome!

[@melinaelizabeth.]

thank you for your videos. They are so helpful. Is there a link for the on-line discount? I could not find one on ventura's website directly.

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

They have changed their website since the covid reopening. It doesn’t even show that the zip lines are open even though many people confirmed with pictures they are and the price still reflects the same apparently. I hope this is all true! I would wait til you get there because they give discounts while there and even give away tickets at bingo and stuff!

[@dennisandtriciawhittle649]

Is it possible to book parasailing and jet skis prior to arrival?

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

Not that I am aware of!

[@gabbysworld9026]

Did you ever get bored at the resorts? We are planning to go for 6 nights. Do they do any activities with the guests besides these?

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

They do have day time pool activities that change daily and weekly! It’s kind of random but if you ask someone at the front there they can help you find out. We did not get bored. The days go fast exploiting the ocean and pools, drinking and eating. Lots of times we would have to take a quick nap before getting ready for dinner. And then by the time we ate, it was time for the shows at night. I do wish they had more Late late activities. They have the club and bowling/mall areas with bars though. I am just use to a cruise!

[@charlesclose9848]

Nice video , just wondering what time of year it was taken ? 👍🏻

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

Thank you! Theres clips from October 2020 and then my trip pre covid as well in August. All the beach and pool activities are open including dolphin show. Strikers, putt putt and the mall is open. The main thing still closed is the race track and zip lines! :(

[@navymt2005]

Weird question. Do they have laundry facilities? If I use the fitness center, don't want to bring stinky clothes home in my suitcase. Can't find it on their website.

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

They do. They have a sheet to fill out that is with the laundry bag in the closet of your room. The prices vary per item. Then call and let them know you have it ready. They will return it to your room! ☺️

[@wedlifemedia4345]

IS the oark open?

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

The vehicles at the Ventura park is open but no longer are zip lines open

[@oscardumeng8161]

Are all those places open going in July

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

Everything but the race track/zip line is suppose to be open by then!

[@oscardumeng8161]

@@BrittsGoodGetaways Thank you hopefully its open when I get their looks fun

[@karlito2310]

@brittsgoodgetaways thank you so muh, this video was exactly what i needed, planning to go there in november. Just to be sure, are the prices mentionned below are for a daily acces ? Like if i pay for the Ride & Fly + Dolphin swim pass, do i have to do all of this on the same day ?

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

You do not have to do it the same day. However a lot has changed and I do not believe the fly portion is open now and there’s been many different offers so I would ask someone working there if they still have this discount when you arrive since this was a few years ago now. I am looking to go back and check it out for myself!!

[@lilianazamudio2378]

Great video! Where did you do the covid test? At the hotel? How much it was? Thank you

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

I was lucky enough to go 2 months before the covid testing started. But it is 15 dollars for the antigen test and they do it right at the hotel :)

[@rhino4595]

Is all restaurants open including Brazilian

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

Last i heard yes, but that if capacity is low they may close one for a day. :)

[@benbanfield6349]

So all the activities you have listed without pp beside them are costs in usd?

[@aidancabral7439]

Thanks for the video, do the people staying at the beach, colonial, tropical, or caribe also get access to the same things in the video, or is this specifically for the maya riviera resort guests?

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

This is for everyone :)

[@49liljj]

What part of the resort did you find cocktail lessons?

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

They were at the palace and AO at 3pm prior but it may have changed now! I would contact the entertainment team or ask to get more info when you arrive because it’s always changing. They usually have all their activities planned for the week but if you don’t ask, the resort is so big you often miss it!

[@dieganka]

can't open spa prices

Is this hotel good for couples aswell as families?

It is! I’ve mostly experienced it as a couple which was super fun and relaxing and then for a wedding with a lot of family members. But they have a lot of kid things to do as well!

[@nidaamuntaser9775]

I saw another video of someone saying after 10 pm they have nothing to do ? Do you know if that's ture ? Do they have any shows or anything happening after 10 pm for kids that like to stay up late ?

[@BrittsGoodGetaways]

After 10pm I don’t feel like there is much to do for kids. They do have a glow beach party at night certain days a week that kids can attend but mostly after 10 it is the bars and Karaoke for adults.

What about the pools and beach restaurants and pools

We did a parasailing on Monday 12,2023 and they didn’t send any videos and pictures, despite I pay cash , my reviews to them is less than cero, they still my money, I am very disappointed of the photos company, I want to be clear of that, the activity was fantastic, my reviews is regarding the photo company .I would like to know how can I post the proof of my payment.

Have you tried contacting costumer service? Was it the photo company that works within Barcelo?
