Pool: It was too cold to use the pool but they looked very nice. We traveled in January so the pools are probably alwasy colder then.

Food/Drink: The french resturant was wonderful. We ate there twice. The service was the best in this resturant.
Entertainment: We saw one varity show that was quite inpressive.
Accommodations: We really enjoyed our suite. The only complaint would be that the hotel was so large that it was a long way to get anywhere.
Service: There were times when the male servers in the buffet resturants seemed to have a bad attitude.The woman seemed more gratefull for their jobs
Overall: We like the Barcello but will most likely not visit Rivera Maya again.
