Tulum hotel guide. Barcelo hotel in Tulum, Quintana Roo

"Overall, the hotel grounds and nice and maintained. I can say the rooms were nice and spacious as well. The only problem is outside noise in the apartment. My 1 bedroom was outside of the pool with kids constantly screaming. I was able to tune it out but the bedroom located in the back faced the road and you can clearly hear every car driving by. Thankful the road is clamber at night. On my second day there was a high pitched loud buzzing sound coming from the courtyard. I couldn’t tune this sound out and it was extremely irritating. I walked around to see where it was coming from and finally asked the front desk if I could change rooms. I also noticed my balcony door didn’t close all the way. The front desk said we don’t have any other one bedrooms available and said nobody ever complained about this noise. I offered to take a downgrade or even pay for an upgrade to no avail. I convinced them to come hear the sound and they finally agreed and learned the sound was coming from a motor outside of my room. They shut off the motor and all was well and they sent someone to fix the door. The motor was back on my last day but I just dealt with it. The front desk could have handled the situation better and offered some accommodation rather than dismissing my claims. Overall it’s a nice place but not relaxing and staff could have been better. I’d think twice before booking this place or at least book a room on the higher floor to avoid the noise. "

"The air conditioning was good"

"Las habitaciones no están listas a tiempo. Te la entregan hasta 1 hora y media después. Ir a cualquiera de sus restaurantes es un desastre. No tienen un sistema o plataforma automatizado, todo lo hacen manual. La hostes es la que te lleva a la mesa y deja desatendida la recepción de los restaurantes. Pésima coordinación en restaurantes. La comida estuvo bien, pero las porciones son muy pequeñas, parece que es un menú de degustación. No regresaría. "

"Excellent "

"If you love living outdoors and spending to much to do so then this is the place. Ac is cool not cold a day in the sun the cool air should feel rewarding but it falls short of that. Spending $60 US is alot for water and pineapple juice. It is what it is. If your into being intimate while others are watching this is a place you would like. It just weird to me when they make eye contact and not look away. It has interesting views wasnt worth the rate"

"This place was a real treat. Great quality accommodation with lots available, spa, bar, restaurant. It’s away from the centre, perfect for a relaxing stay. Would highly recommend."

"This property uses a system of code bar to enter the property since there is no staff after 6pm. The code bar was sent to my phone but never worked. I had to call the security guard every night to be able to enter and jump the gate in the day time to enter. Every day in the morning the staff recheck the code bar but it never worked. The parking is located 400 meters from the property and across the street. The gate is always closed and locked down. Every time I needed to park my car, which occurred at least two times a day, I had to leave it in front the gate walk to the hotel front desk or call the security. Someone would then walk back with me and unlock the parking gate. One day a police man came to inquire why I had left my car in front of the gate! I explained him why he was not pleased! This is an embarrassing situation no one wants on a vacation. Every time I needed to go out using my car someone had to come with me to unlock the gate. This was very enoying and made my stay there unpleasant. The roof top pool and lounge which was displayed in the pictures was closed for repairs. This was a disappointment since this was one of the factors that attracted us to that hotel! I would never reserve that place again."

"The property was fantastic! Food was amazing. Rooms were cleans. Staff had great recommendations and were very nice!"

"Great and helpful staff! Enjoyed the pool a lot at the sunset "
