It probably has three times as much as the Planet Hollywood buffet. ![]() ![]() They had a lot of stuff I didn’t cover at that Riviera buffet. They had a bar that was nothing but different sliced fruits. Fuel Coffee Shop at Planet Hollywood CancunĪt Barcelo I did like the empanadas and taquitos on the buffet. That would’ve been extremely convenient and a big winner for me. That was the restaurant right on the other side of my swim out. Since I left they added a breakfast on the adult side in the Brazilian restaurant where you can sit down and order off of a menu. The raisin pancakes with banana syrup were great but I never saw them again after that day. I’m not a buffet fan so I rarely ate there. The only other option for breakfast when I was there was the buffet. The coffee shop at Planet Hollywood with pastries is really all I need in the morning. It would be nice if they had a bridge that crossed over by the restaurants. I would have to cross over to that other side and the restaurants are all way down on the end (to the left). This is after I made the 1/4 mile walk to the lobby area. It very well could be a half mile walk to dinner. To go to a restaurant I would have to walk to the lobby area, cross over to the side the restaurants are on, then walk all the way back down to the end. It was a 1/4 mile walk to from my room to the hotel lobby at Barcelo. What I thought was a long walk at Planet Hollywood was nothing compared to where I had to walk at Barcelo. ![]() I wasn’t close to the beach but I was close to the restaurants and super close to the scene bar.īarcelo took things to a different level. One thing I liked about Planet Hollywood is every room is close to something. View from the shower at Barcelo Maya Riviera I did like that I could still see the ocean from the shower at Barcelo. Not to say they don’t have any accessible rooms it just didn’t come standard. I think the Planet Hollywood room would be better for older or disabled because the shower had a bench. At least not without additional upgrades. I could’ve had an ocean view for the same price but it wouldn’t have a hot tub like the Barcelo rooms have. At Planet Hollywood I paid extra for the swim out room. At Barcelo I paid extra for the ocean view. That would be a step up from Planet Hollywood’s standard junior suites. Barcelo Maya RivieraĪll Barcelo rooms have hot tubs on the porch/balcony. That’s not surprising considering the two properties opened just about 14 months apart. I liked Planet Hollywood’s television better because you could toggle between English and Spanish and it had helpful information like the schedule of events and the restaurant/bar times where the television at Barcelo did not. I felt the quality of the rooms was equal. Hopefully this will give you a good comparison of the two. There are aspects of both resorts that I liked and disliked. Similarly Barcelo Maya Riviera is adults only but has access to the entire Barcelo Maya Grand Resort. I was on the “adult scene” side of Planet Hollywood which is adults only but includes access to the entire resort. ![]() Over the past few months I spent eight nights at Planet Hollywood in Cancunand eight nights at Barcelo Maya Riviera, a resort situated between Playa Del Carmen and Tulum.
