Those broad stretches of white sand and glistening turquoise waters always take my breath away. One of my favorites escapes in the area is the Barcel\u00f3 Maya Grand Resort, which consists of five distinct hotels: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcelo.com\/barcelohotels\/en_us\/hotels\/mexico\/riviera-maya\/hotel-premium-level-at-barcelo-maya-palace\/general-description.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barcel\u00f3 Maya Palace<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcelo.com\/barcelohotels\/en_us\/hotels\/mexico\/riviera-maya\/hotel-barcelo-maya-caribe\/general-description.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barcel\u00f3 Maya Caribe<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcelo.com\/barcelohotels\/en_us\/hotels\/mexico\/riviera-maya\/hotel-barcelo-maya-colonial\/general-description.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barcel\u00f3 Maya Colonial<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcelo.com\/barcelohotels\/en_us\/hotels\/mexico\/riviera-maya\/hotel-barcelo-maya-beach\/general-description.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barcel\u00f3 Maya Beach<\/a> and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcelo.com\/barcelohotels\/en_us\/hotels\/mexico\/riviera-maya\/hotel-barcelo-maya-tropical\/general-description.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barcel\u00f3 Maya Tropical<\/a>.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121600\/MAYA-CARIBE-VIEWS.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18543 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121600\/MAYA-CARIBE-VIEWS.jpg\" alt=\"View from the Barcelo Maya Caribe - Mexican Riviera Maya\" width=\"960\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a>\n<p><em>Looking out&nbsp;over&nbsp;Barcel\u00f3 Resorts.

This way, from the moment you arrive, everything is upgraded. You have an exclusive check-in and you have access to all five of the resorts. There are shuttles that run between the resorts, or you can walk along the sand and enjoy the wide stretches of pristine beach.<\/p>\n<p>The rooms included with the&nbsp;Barcel\u00f3 Maya Palace Deluxe all offer ocean views and access to the private lounge with hors d&#8217;oeuvres and premium drinks along with WiFi, newspapers and concierge services.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121613\/MAYAPALACE-ROOM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18547 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121613\/MAYAPALACE-ROOM.jpg\" alt=\"Barcelo Maya Palace Room - Mexican Riviera Maya\" width=\"960\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a>\n<p><em>Barcel\u00f3 Maya Palace Rooms have beautiful ocean views. Photo courtesy&nbsp;Barcel\u00f3 Maya Palace<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed the personal service at&nbsp;Barcel\u00f3 Maya Palace. The concierge knew my name, the tequila was always flowing, there was lovely turndown service and the use of the private lounge was a welcome respite. Even though the resort is all-inclusive, the premium liquors found in the lounge were a very welcome addition every evening.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Experience All-Inclusive Delights<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The&nbsp;Barcel\u00f3 Maya Grand Resort hotels are all-inclusive, meaning you can put your wallet away the moment you arrive. Walk in the lobby and let the outside world disappear. The&nbsp;Barcel\u00f3 staff greets you with a welcome cocktail and whisks you to your home away from home on this gorgeous stretch of pristine beach. During the day, you can enjoy buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner at&nbsp;Barcel\u00f3 Maya Palace,&nbsp;Barcel\u00f3 Maya Beach,&nbsp;Barcel\u00f3 Maya Caribe,&nbsp;Barcel\u00f3 Maya Colonial and&nbsp;Barcel\u00f3 Tropical Hotels. There are also options for lunch and snacks on the beach, and you can find food and drinks available 24 hours a day or simply indulge in the minibar inside your room, which is restocked every day with bottled water, soft drinks and beer.<\/p>\n<p>There are also several specialty restaurants at&nbsp;Barcel\u00f3 Maya Palace that I recommend. My favorite was Restaurante Caribe, which served up amazing fresh seafood dishes, specializing in flavors of the Caribbean. There is a formal dress code and reservations are required\u2014but this is all-inclusive, so the price is included in your stay. Start with a salmon carpaccio and try the hake. It was amazing in its simplicity.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121617\/MAYAPALACE_CaribeRestaurant.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18549 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121617\/MAYAPALACE_CaribeRestaurant.jpg\" alt=\"Barcelo Maya Palace Caribe Restaurant - Mexican Riviera Maya\" width=\"960\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a>\n<p><em>Restaurante Caribe at Barcel\u00f3 Maya Palace. Photo courtesy Barcel\u00f3 Maya Palace<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The best part of staying at the&nbsp;Barcel\u00f3 Maya Grand Resort is that you can also visit the other four hotels. I would suggest that you make reservations and visit the restaurants at one&nbsp;of the other hotels. It is also fun to change it up and check out&nbsp;a buffet at one of the other resorts for lunch on a different day. I loved having so many options. And, what is especially appealing about this gorgeous Mexican Riviera Maya location, is that even the dining is right on the water, so you don&#8217;t have to leave those gorgeous views to nourish your body. How much better is a vacation when you can nourish your body and your soul at the same time?<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121619\/MAYAPALACE-Seaside-Dining.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18550 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121619\/MAYAPALACE-Seaside-Dining.jpg\" alt=\"Barcelo Maya Palace Seaside Dining - Mexican Riviera Maya\" width=\"960\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a>\n<p><em>Seaside dining at Barcel\u00f3 Maya Grand Resort.

You can also get free entry to the Jaguar Club or the sports bar, kids ages 4 to 12 can hang out at the Barcy Kid&#8217;s Club and teenagers can use the Teens Club. I personally thought the Barcy Kid&#8217;s Club looked like a lot of fun. Made me wish I could transport myself to about age 10 for a little while.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121550\/Barcy-kids-area-by-Susan-Lanier-Graham.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18541 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121550\/Barcy-kids-area-by-Susan-Lanier-Graham.jpg\" alt=\"Barcy Kids' Area by Susan Lanier-Graham - Mexican Riviera Maya\" width=\"960\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a>\n<p><em>Barcy Kid&#8217;s Club.

At&nbsp;Barcel\u00f3 Maya Palace, there are a total of nine&nbsp;swimming pools&nbsp;with some dedicated just to children and others just for adults. There is a water park with slides that is fun for the entire family.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121615\/MAYAPALACE_AerialView.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18548 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121615\/MAYAPALACE_AerialView.jpg\" alt=\"Barcelo Maya Palace Aerial View - Mexican Riviera Maya\" width=\"960\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a>\n<p><em>Looking Out Over&nbsp;Barcel\u00f3 Maya Palace.

I think the wide sand beaches were my favorite part of relaxing on the Riviera Maya. It was such a peaceful spot and I could sit for hours and let the tropical breezes blow across my skin.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121554\/Beach-at-Maya-Palace-by-Susan-Lanier-Graham.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18542 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121554\/Beach-at-Maya-Palace-by-Susan-Lanier-Graham.jpg\" alt=\"Beach at Maya Palace by Susan Lanier-Graham - Mexican Riviera Maya\" width=\"960\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a>\n<p><em>White sand beaches at&nbsp;<em>Barcel\u00f3 Maya Palace.

There are basketball and tennis courts, volleyball, snorkeling equipment (you can use it for an hour a day at no additional cost) and a fitness center. For an additional cost you can rent catamarans and jet skis. The list goes on and on. There is even the Maya Mall with shopping, bowling, a disco for teenagers, a coffee bar and more. I found a few pieces of lovely jewelry that happened to find their way home with me.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121621\/Sailboat-by-Susan-Lanier-Graham.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18551 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/rsinspire\/20161214121621\/Sailboat-by-Susan-Lanier-Graham.jpg\" alt=\"Sailboat by Susan Lanier-Graham - Mexican Riviera Maya\" width=\"960\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a>\n<p><em>There are many other activities awaiting you on the Riviera Maya.
