In Feb 2020, I stayed in the premium level ocean front suite. I really enjoyed the large two suite, two bathrooms and balcony area. There is not a comparable non premium level suite. For us, the birds were not annoying. The room was well equipped with a keurig coffee maker (they provided refills on request), a decent sized mini refrigerator, etc. Room service was good although there is an extra charge after hours. Since my stay was pre-COVID lock-down, the premium lounge remained open until ~ 11:00 PM. However, I can't dispute your comments regarding junior suite premium versus non premium level. I'm planning on returning on Marth 13th, 2021

The restaurants are one of my favorite parts of an all inclusive. How does the access/availability of the restaurant dining change in Riviera Maya premium vs non premium? Additionally, is there any hope to eat in the other hotel area restaurants without a premium level?
@3Days3Noches4 ай бұрын
Actually I’m not sure! But I’m pretty sure Premium got priority. I think if you stay at Barcelo Maya Riviera it gives you automatic access to the other resorts even if you are not premium level. But don’t quote me

@3Days3Noches2 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for watching! So this resort actually sells out a lot so there may not be rooms there when you get there. But yes! Sometimes they will upgrade you for free. Happened to us a few times but I think it was because of the channel. Def call the front desk and ask for concierge and tell them your celebrating something like an anniversary or birthday and sometimes they decorate the room. Also you could schedule a romantic dinner near the beach. It’s extra but she’s worth it right? Lol. Just being there together will be special. Can’t wait to go back here now that everything is open!! Can’t wait to hear what you’d think. Call our friend Nacho if you need a ride from the airport!!

Thanks for watching! So here is what you get when you decide to upgrade to Premium at The Barcelo Riviera Maya. 1. Location of Room - the room is in a separate building - so more privacy but further walk from the lobby 2. Separate check in area with lounge 3. Free 24 hour room service 4. Access to Premium Lounge when it’s open. Honestly those are the only differences at this property. At the other Barcelo properties it makes sense to upgrade because you get Premium Liquors and access to all of the other properties. You already get that at the Barcelo Riviera Maya on a basic level. I’ve been to Haven, Iberostar, Blue Bay and The Grand Moon Palace and still Barcelo was my favorite. At those other properties the beaches were not good and I’m a beach person! The Moon Palace has amazing food and pools but not good beach! I know there’s so many to choose from! Keep following us and subscribe! We try a new resort every 3 months!

@@albertotroche1842 I know very difficult times! We usually book through United Vacations because we live in New Jersey and it’s the best airline to choose from. Hotels.com just for the room can have great prices too. We went for 3 nights and it was around $850 per person with flight hotel food drinks everything. But it was during January and COVID! I would sign up for their email list and have them send you promotions. They are always doing deals. And then get an app to stalk the flight prices of when the go down etc. it all depends where you are coming from! That’s what I love about Mexico. You can go away for a week for just over $1000 per person!!!
