At this level, I've found the buffet food is nearly as good as most of the sit-down restaurants, and a lot faster with more variety. But the limited dining isn't really much of a con because the buffets will generally be better for the kids, anyway. Other cons of the Barcelo are (1) packing the whole family into a junior suite (ooh boy, this one is tough), and for a three night stay you only get one night at a sit-down restaurant. So for us that offset the con of being further from CUN. The big advantages of the Barcelo are the beach is a LOT better than Paraiso, you have much better beach visibility from the resort, and the pools and slides and such are better for the kids, It is also within walking distance of several cenotes, which will be way cheaper and faster to visit than taking an expensive all-day trip from Iberostar down to Xel Ha. But neither of these ended up being very important for our family trip, as explained below.Ĭons to the Iberostar are (1) Paraiso just isn't a good beach, rocky with no snorkeling, (2) further away from any cenotes, (3) pools aren't quite as elaborately built out for kid fun (slides and such). The other advantages are (1) 30-45 mins closer to CUN, and (2) unlimited dining reservations. The big advantage was the two room suite. The Iberostar Maya/Lindo had one big advantage and two smaller ones.
