Barcelo Maya Palace Brides

As far as I know, we are still waiting for the 2010 prices to come out. Has anyone recieved this yet? I checked about a week or 2 ago and they still did not have them available.

I still not sure about getting married there anymore but i know it is a BEAUTIFUL resort.

Good luck!

Hi! My name is Ashley and I am planning a May 2010 destination wedding. We stated at the Barcelo Maya Tropical a few years ago and LOVED it....so now we are considering the Barcelo Palace for our wedding. I understand packages are not out for 2010, but if anyone has wedding package info for 2009, could you email it to me? Thanks!! [email protected]

I stayed at the Barcelo Colonial/Tropical (same thing) a little over 2 years ago when it first opened. I thought it was wonderful. The air conditioned buffets were so clean and modern, not like some of the older results where the chairs for example are wooden and painted various tropical colours. I am very picky, and tend to like the more modern look of the new resorts and this place has that. The pool is so big, we brought our own blow up floaties to lie on in the pool. There is a great dock that goes out into the water and millions of fish hang out there, we often took some bread from the buffet out there. Wonderful opportunity for first time snorkelers. Also, if you like to party their disco is large and there is an upper VIP area, giving it a feel of a club in a larger city. The food was wonderful. The only negative thing I could say is that it would be wonderful if they had jacuzzi tubs in the room. Enjoy!

I am weighing the options between a few hotels for my wedding, however it really comes down to cost for me. Could someone let me know how much extra a private reception is?

does anyone know if the $300 for the outside photographer applies if your photographer is actually staying at the resort for a week? I just received an email from Gabriela today, but they take forever to respond to questions. Thanks again ladies

I don't think it applies because then they are considered a guest at the hotel.

Gabriela got back to me on the photographer question. We are having Juan Carlos stay with us for 3 days and the fee will not apply since he is a guest staying at the Palace.

I recently switched resorts from the Iberostar Paraiso to the Barcelo Maya Palace...I had stayed at the Beach side about 4 years ago and we had such a wonderful time that we knew our guests would also.

So I was wondering, when do you start really planning....like when will I choose where I want my reception (what restaurant) and all that? We already choose our package...I believe it was the Ocean Scents (I am horrible I don't even know my own package lol)
