“Barceló Maya Riviera is set to reshape the region’s hotel and convention offerings,” said Stefania Ballotta, Director of Sales & Marketing at Barceló Maya Grand Resort in a statement. “We can’t wait to share this new property with our valued guests and event planners.”
Barcelo already boasts five all-inclusive hotels on the Riviera Maya. including the Barceló Maya Palace, Barceló Maya Beach, BarcelóMaya Caribe, Barceló Maya Colonial and Barceló Maya Tropical.
That’s part of a broader Caribbean portfolio for Barcelo that includes resorts in Cuba, Aruba and the Dominican Republic.
