Not at all ! They are just there for your support. Feel free to check out the "Travel" tab on the website for more information about where to stay.
Does the resort have a minimum stay?
Yes, the minimum stay at Barcelo is three nights.
How do you get from the airport to the resort?
You must book a car (shared or private transportation). You can book this when booking your flight. We recommend a private car when possible; shared cars drop off at multiple hotels which can take 3x as long to get you to your destination. Any questions reach out to Allie.
the resort
Can we visit the other resorts?
Yes! If you are staying in Barcelo Riviera Maya Adults Only, you can visit any of the other resorts on the property such as : Colonial, Palace, Caribe, etc. The only resort that cannot be visited is Adults Only if you are staying at a family friendly resort. But don't worry! There is plenty to do at all properties and we will all be able to hang out with each other.
Is the resort all inclusive?
Yes, all food and alcohol are included at your stay at Barcelo. Food (dinner + hors d'oeuvres) and alcohol (open bar) will also be provided at the wedding venue.
Adults Only : Can we eat at any restaurant/buffet?
When you arrive, ask the front desk about booking your dinner reservations for the upcoming days. You can book any restaurant in any of the resorts on the property. Buffet is reservation free, but to dine at the restaurants, a reservation is mandatory (but still free of cost).

When you arrive, ask the front desk about booking your dinner reservations for the upcoming days. You can book any restaurant in any family friendly resort on the property, except the adults only resort. Buffet is reservation free, but to dine at the restaurants, a reservation is mandatory (but still free of cost).
Is upgrading to premium worth the money?
Yes, personally Denis and I believe that the premium upgrade is worth it. You not only have access to top shelf liquor, but also get free spa and gym access (just need to schedule a time slot) and you get access to a few more places. We personally use it for the spa access to enjoy the sauna every night before dinner.
