2024 Puerto Aventuras Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)
arceló Maya Grand Resort
After spending so much time in the States over winter, a tropical Mexican vacation was exactly what we needed! Neither of us had ever spent more than a day in Mexico before ((I stopped over on a cruise in high school… does that even count?!)) so we couldn’t wait to head down south to experience it together. We teamed up with Barceló Hotels and Resorts to spend a few days at their all-inclusive Riviera Maya property- Barceló Maya Grand Resort- and can’t wait to tell you guys all about it!
Barceló Maya Grand Resort just may be the grandest hotel we’ve ever stayed at purely by scale— The sprawling property consists of 5 different hotels in one! The best part is that no matter which hotel you are actually staying in, you have access to 4 of these including each of their amenities, pools, and restaurants (and if you book your stay at the Palace Hotel you’ll have access to the full property). We stayed in Barceló Maya Caribe and our room was to die for with our own private pool and jacuzzi. We could have easily spent all of our time around this hotel, but we wanted to explore all of the property and couldn’t believe that there are 10 swimming pools, 22 restaurants, 3 theaters with live shows, and 2 night clubs.
We get asked quite often which hotels we’ve been to are family friendly, and Barceló Maya most certainly is!! The property has tons of offerings for kids including family pools and water parks, activities for kids, and more. There is even a kid’s spa that was decked out in hot pink everything with manicure + pedicure stations. However, if you don’t have kids, Barceló Maya is still a great fit because there is an adult only pool, a fitness center and U-spa, and tons of space on the 2 km stretch of private beach to feel like you are on your own romantic getaway.
There’s so much to say about this amazing property, but we’ll just leave you with our 6 favorite things about Barceló Maya Grand!

The hotel is very conveniently located in the village of Puerto Aventuras. In the evening, you can take a quiet walk, as it is safe there.The hotel itself is wonderful, the food is excellent, there are many pools for any choice.
The beach is not small in size and there are breakwaters that prevent the penetration of algae. Great! So, there are no waves. There is a normal entry into the water, there is also a coral reef just right in front of the sea side and beach of this hotel, so snorkeling is a must in to do list after arriving in this hotel. The underwater world is quite interesting and there is something to see. In general, there are a lot of animals on the territory. Raccoons, agoutis, by the way, are the most arrogant). There are many lizards, including iguanas. You can rent bicycles for free and ride around the area. The animation is simple, the contests are often repeated, but the evening shows are quite interesting. There is a kids club for children. They arrange discos, you can play billiards in the sports bar and there is a tennis court.
This place is amazing! ! ! The whole animation team by the pool made our trip very exciting. Each restaurant was very good and had a large selection. The evening shows and funny competitions are another big plus of this place. Territory is big and it has all for great fun. There is even a sport bar with billiard and bowling.
Besides, the town Puerta Aventuras where this summer resort is located has a lot of advantages and in front of entrance to this small town is a public transportation station, so you also can easily travel anywhere along the Riviera Maya coast.
Good location, clean warm sea, it's just great! All above mentioned makes this place to be an ideal summer resort for summer escape and relaxation.
